NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING LIKE WHITNEY AT ALL. THE ATTITUDE. THE EMOTIONS. THE SPIRIT. IT'S LIKE BRANDY MOVIE. CLEARLY NOT WHITNEY

[jjjasminne]

No, y mil veces no, whitney houston era mucho más dulce a la hora de hablar, esta chica habla con despotismo, con chulería ella era una dama y jamas habló de esta manera, de hecho en la entrevista que le hicieron si cantaba para los negros o los blancos, ella dijo que no lo entendía que ella cantaba con el corazón y punto. Esta película no se acerca, ni por asomo a lo que realmente era nuestra amada whitney houston.

Not digging it! Put more respect on Whitney's legacy.
