Cinderella: See RARE Behind the Scenes Interviews and Moments With Brandy and Whitney!

Whitney Houston and Brandy chatted with ET on the set of ‘Cinderella,' allowing us to share these intimate behind-the-scenes moments, even from the recording studio as they sang their iconic duet, ‘Impossible’! Houston shared the story of when she called the 18-year-old singer to offer her the lead role, and revealed how she was like Brandy’s fairy godmother in real-life. ET captured Brandy’s jaw-dropping reaction the first time she walked onto the incredible movie set that caused her to exclaim, ‘This has gotta go in Disneyland!’ Brandy later had a true Disney princess moment at the premiere when she made her grand arrival in a horse carriage on Hollywood Boulevard. Houston told ET after the movie that she was ‘so proud’ of Brandy’s performance. And how about this for a fairytale ending: ‘Cinderella’ comes to Disney+ on Feb. 12. Everything, indeed, starts with a wish!

One of my favorites. Whitney is a Queen, Brandy is adorable: 'let's practice!' They all seemed to recognized how special the project was as they made it.

R.I.P Whitney Houston and Natalie Desselle. Such talent was involved in this production! I absolutely LOVE Brandy in this!!

[@deltamiles7588]

yes

[@zolawilson5653]

Rip🙏🏽

[@zeldafan1942]

Her name was "Natalie Desselle-Reid", but that was how she was then credited for her role as the younger stepsister, Minerva, opposite Calliope being played by Veanne Cox. Minerva is the equivalent of Anastasia, while Calliope is almost like Drizella.

[@VioletIceFire]

This Cinderella Movie and Ever After with Drew Barrymore are in my opinion the best Cinderella movies ever done. Brandy made cinderella super lovable and elegant.

[@leemccombs7988]

who is here after witnessing the injustice and backlash halley bailey has to face for playing the first black ariel? shes gonna do amazing, shes gonna inspire a whole new generation of black kids just like brandy did, brandy's performance was beautiful and groundbreaking, can't wait to see halley do the same with the little mermaid.

No one cares about being the first green, yellow, blue, purple or any other color - why do people have to relate everything to color!

[@Shantelasama]

It’s a human thing, it’s the same as saying « look I’m the one who first walk on the moon » or « I’m the first person driving this car » people like to brag about what they achieved 🤔especially if they can be remembered long after

[@doctorwilliams787]

You sound delusional and desperate to make a statement. What "race" has been the epitome of America's representations in movies, sports, government, business, education, and social establishments since slavery? Even more disturbingly, modern day accomplishments of racial diversity are blindsided with institutionalized racism, political pandering to hate groups (KKK, Skinheads, Neo Nazi's, Proud Boys, and the Alt-right organization), and microaggressive behaviors! In essence, the acquisition of being "established" in America was constituted by "free" labor from slaves who initiated the generational wealth and acquiesce towards systematic control of "images" that is dominated by one race! Overall, your fake account name is a perfect example. The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773. The American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company. Now, ask yourself this question: How do you vindicate "Equality " in a "system" that obtains money from you without your representation? Make it make sense!

[@reacting_to_stuff_]

Brendy is related to Whitney so she didn’t earn the role it was through connections. By the way and I don’t like how Whitney portrait black women stereotype in her role with all that mannerisms
