Flashback: Watch a Very Shy Whitney Houston in Her First ET Interview

It was 1984 when we first met Whitney Houston. In our flashback you can see the then-21 year old's innocence -- plus she was kind of shy!

i don’t find her shy here. i see a lot of self confidence.

She had this natural beauty about her and gracefulness that just pulled you in. Her inner beauty shined through and that’s what made her even more beautiful. Miss you Whitney! ❤️

Best female voice I’ve ever heard. Perfection vocally.

[ekarata.]

She was so perfect. Voice, look, personality, just perfect.

I just love hearing her talk. Her voice is like an angel. So soft and pure

She was a very successful teen model too before singing career. Natural beauty.

[JoseliJunior]

She was stunning and her megawatt smile was breathtaking, imagine her working as a model saying “oh I sing too” and then starts to sing, she must have got people shook. The Best singer in the world. A true legend.

She has the most beautiful teeth omg!!! Her teeth are literally perfect…

[foolsinging]

We'll probably never see the likes of her again in our lifetime. She was amazing in every way.

Her voice and demeanor were so gentle. RIP ❤️

Omg she was so beautiful!! I can't believe she's not with us anymore! I wish things would have turn out different for her! :(

[TheStephaknows]

She wasn't shy, she just had an innocence about her. The two are not the same. If she was shy she wouldn't be comfortable enough to say all the words she said, unless she was on drugs or something.

She looked and sounded so pure and innocent. Time waits for no one and can deal toe most horrid future for even the best. A star that dimmed much to early and may she rest in peace.

[TheRealestIdealist]

WOW! Classic beauty, and her aura is lit up!!!

[Aariyan]

The innocence, reassurance, and beautiful energy reminds me of when Aaliyah did her interviews, especially as she began to grow into her own even more!

[missinginbc]

She was a sparkly stunningly beautiful girl!

[christinewomack]

Whitney Houston always was a pretty woman. From young to older. R.I.P.

[mister_delight]

She was about the most beautiful woman I ever laid my eyes on.

[justindelane]

That young speaking voice is so soothing. Rest well queen❤👑
