Probably the BEST Eulogy I've ever heard anywhere for anyone. That wasn't an actor, that was the REAL Kevin

[brianvincent]

He may be one of the most underrated actors of his time but his humanity shines like a beacon.
What a beautiful speech.

[lucasmc]

There is no black and white when it comes to pure unadulterated love.
Kevin Costner is a great man.
This brought me to tears

[JasonB]

This is what happens when a true storyteller expresses his love. What a beautiful tribute.

"Escorted by an army of angels to your Heavenly father, when you sing before him, don't you worry coz you will be good enough " That melted my heart.

[Lovely_Mia]

Whenever a man tries to hold back his tears you know its deep, when he said "when you stand before god and sing for him don't worry trust me you'll be good enough" the tears came hard and fast.

I watched it today 16-05-2024 and I still cry and what a great speech you have given for our Whitney ….you sing up in heaven like the angels do.

Kevin's speech is a symbol of how love, friendship and respect for someone transcends race, culture, experience or wealth. All of these do not matter. When God gives you the opportunity to connect with someone it is celestial and lasts forever, be it whether you meet for a season, a reason or a lifetime. RIP Whitney and thank you Kevin for your genuineness.

There were a lot of people who criticised Kevin Costner after the funeral. When Princess Diana died, every celebrity who had ever been in the same room as her, claimed they were best friends. Kevin Costner is the only celebrity who refused to talk about her. He only expressed his sadness over her death and refused to turn mourning into a PR exercise. Here, he did the same. He talked because he was asked by Whitney's family and it was a beautiful eulogy. I think Kevin Costner has a lot of class and integrity.

Kevin Cosner truly loved Whitney Houston. She is truly missed

[rhondajones]

You sure can feel his heart during this eulogy. He definitely respected her.

[jojojojo-sivw]

The way Kevin stood for her against the movie moguls. The way he treated her before, during, and after the film was done, speaks for itself, loud and clear. Whitney was his one true love!

[Humvee]

An utterly sincere speech. He really did this with honour.

[ronaldking]

This man loved this woman. If this was the man she had chosen in real life....she would probably still be alive today! Thank you for this Kevin. In a time where we need to heal in this country, you have made your mark in helping it happen! RIP Whitney. You have set the bar higher in many ways and your spirit lives in all of us!

[Alkaybabe]

Profound speech and presented by a humble person Kevin Costner. Still listening July 2, 2024.

[preciousthing]

Get yourself someone who loves you as much as Kevin Costner loves Whitney Houston.

"And when you sing before Him, don't you worry, you'll be good enough." - Kevin Costner. DAMN! That was powerful

[boomerbreaks]

2023, and STILL this gets me in the feels. Kevin is an amazing actor, person and great friend of the Houston family. Amazing speech.

[zainaraqs]

Had Whitney married Kevin she would indeed be with us today. What I heard in his speech was true love, love in all forms as one, eternal and undying love. It brought me to tears.

I am watching this 11 years later, and my heart breaks for Kevin. He’s just been going through an acrimonious divorce and child custody case and it breaks my heart to see such a good man, a really good man, tossed aside, because he’s no longer “good” enough. This tribute to Whitney tells us a great deal about him and the kind of man he is. I’m sending a prayer for him to lift him up so he could feel the love and succor him. 🙏
