UNSEEN: uncut Whitney Houston Interview - 1998

[@Martinmusicuk]

She was not in the mood that day and it shows. She kept it professional and kept it moving. Love this interview!

[@sapphirelatina]

Nah, she was tweaking off the crack

[@MrDaRiAn21]

@@sapphirelatina Out of all the things she’s done in her career as well as helping underprivileged children, her music, that’s all you think about? The legacy she left paving the way for people that don’t have to go through the things she went through, but that’s all you think about?

[@griff404]

@MrDaRiAn21 tax deduction. period. I appreciate her music but rich people don't just give away money. And Whitney was a spender and couldn't afford to do so even if she wanted to. She was in debt. And had been for a long time prior to dying in 2012.

[@I-AM-BELIEVER]

@@griff404You tend to say many things without any knowledge. Whitney hosted Christmas parties for the youth in her hometown for many many years. That’s time not funds. She visited many and gave free concerts for those that was never published. Stop trying to categorize her as someone who was just rich and did things for a tax write off. Cissy spoke about that in her book and Whitney said it too that she prefers to do things when cameras isn’t around. Pat Houston even said Whitney gave away nearly all her wardrobe for battered women and other places without anyone knowing it. Many times she never asked for anything in return.

[@griff404]

@@I-AM-BELIEVER ''tend'' as if that's a pattern of mine, how did you come up with that conclusion? you seen 2 comments of mine? She operated like any other company, any other brand does. That's how it works. I stand by what I said that rich people don't just give away money like that. I was responding to OP saying ''she helped underprivileged children'' that takes a giant sum of money. Thats why you see so many rich people claiming to have given hundreds of millions to the poor. Amazing that they do but...umm, actually. Maybe thats something you're not ready to grasp because you wanna have Whitney in this goddess category, untouchable... I'm not a believer in that. And Whitney was their meal ticket, they better say only nice things about her. Especially miss Pat.

[@attyjosh]

"Mareeeyah Cariiiii I'll call her that and she'll crack up". They really were friends.

[@goldenlady1213]

Absolutely loved this interview. Whitney was brutally honset , sassy, and amazing all at the same time. 6.08 was hilarious when she responded with a frnch. accent when the journalist asked about her hair color😂

[@Alphadiaby77]

When she talks about the evolution of her voice, of it having more depth, more soul it's funny cause I've always said that the MLIYL era is my personal favorite vocal era of Whitney (and favorite album too) for the same exact same reasons so it felt great for the first time hearing that directly from her own words. It had matured so beautifully, specially her lower notes were so much richer.

[@Mario-ks8yj]

She was about to shade tf out of that “new Whitney” question UNTIL she mention Brandy and Monica 🤣

a legend and the greatest vocalist of all time ❤ we will always love and miss you nippy ❤

she isn't 'there' on this interview....

​@wellofcire No, she isn't. Unfortunately, the drugs are there. 🙏⭐️

[@wellofcire]

@@faithmapstone9982 i know, annoying.....

[@NSUVid]

This was a really revealing interview. Whitney's depth, thoughtfulness, and wisdom are not always focused on or displayed. I didn't see moodyness or an attitude, I see a regular woman navigating the weirdness and falsity of Hollywood. She answered the question about Brandy & Monica and her image in with so much depth and intellect that you could miss it if you don't pay attention. You can also tell there was an inner conflict regarding her record label and Clive. She had SO many layers.

[@urbanrodriguez-ozuna3215]

Very VERY telling. She confirmed all I knew with this one interview. Rest easy Whitney and Bobbi K.

[@daretoder]

It kills me that she did not have people around her who actually cared and actually worried about her well-being.

[@faithmapstone9982]

Totally agree!

[@topherchris76]

It killed her too

[@Dedicated2WendyWilliams]

it became this, if you speak up too much it can get you fired... & eventually it came down to this quote from her former bodygaurd "if shes choosing to live like this why should i give up my job & my lifestyle"... yes when your a certain age & have certain success who can tell you right from wrong?....its sad though.

Their will never be another vocal instrument like Whitney Houston. Clive davis was right on the MONEY!

[@IvoryRena]

Our God was on the money. Whitney's instrument was from heaven.

[@stephondavis6150]

She was tired but still had a sense of humor 😂

[@Dedicated2WendyWilliams]

u gotta understand her, by 1998 this time, she only wanted love & a happy home, things were going terribly wrong in her home, Dec 1996 she suffered Another miscarriage, yet she was excited & happily expecting a baby... then 1997 became the worst year, bobby in & out of jail, he was also promiscuous, as a women it was hard to accept a man willingly offer to step out on the marriage if she could not produce another child, thankfully her career was going really well at this time her 1998 album sold over 15,000,000 copies worldwide, pretty good for someone whos been singing since 1985.....

[@Lala-Lin-i2u]

Woah, Whitney was giving subtle scoops on the industry which we now know partially led to her demise

[@carlaconnor8347]

Love this interview, Whitney was very intuned with herself and emotionally. That’s why she always knew how to present herself and knew what and how to say things

[@TannyYem]

Her and aliyah are definitely the same character. Aliyah was the toned down version. I loved every bit of this interview the sarcasm, the shade, the uninterested tone

[@shakarawright9876]

Bro it is her face for me I swear she was an act and very beautiful and she kept it real and as you can tell she was not in the mood at all 😂❤ rip Whitney Houston 😢😇🥰

[@nealcopeland9]

Loved this interview,she is full of witt actually, she is beautiful and had an amazing voice!

[@marcchesley3731]

Whitney looks like she smoked a blunt her demeanor gives that idea, and her reaction timing to the question, this is funny, she wanted to be anywhere but there! I love it! She clowned this woman trying to pronounce Mariah's name, I am dead she was very persnickety and nice nasty about it!

[@Zarumaans]

Just from her speaking voice, it's apparent that the change in her voice is due to vocal damage, not maturing of the voice.

[@ladytinfoil9864]

Thank you! But watermark though 😢

[@LadyMoonstar6601]

8:54 someone walks in to get the interviewer out I’m guessing lol

[@jcs3330]

She seemed pissed-off with some of these 'lack' questions in this interview....like hasn't anyone done their homework!.

[@Dedicated2WendyWilliams]

one thing whitney houston loved was Aaliyah.... this was the 2nd or 3rd interview i've heard her mention her. i think whitney saw a younger her in Aaliyah

[@lazaromurad322]

i don't know why her demeanor reminds me of Rihanna, like this incredible presence.

[@JohnPalermo-wp5df]

I love Whitney, but she tried it with that her voice "had more life on it" line. No honey, the consistent overuse through touring and screaming back and forth with Bobby, smoking multiple packs of Newport cigarettes, drinking, as well as the partaking in heavy drugs is what made her voice not be what it was I'm the early 90s. I love and adore Whitney, but she reached out with that interview line.

[@I-AM-BELIEVER]

@@griff404 girl or whatever you are that was literally shade. You can be friends and still shade. Plus, around this time she was disappointed with MJ cause this was when he agreed to do a duet with Whitney on her MLIYL album and backed out at the last. Trust me she shaded him

As a French I always think that when French journalists are making interviews they sometimes try to hard with their questions

Seeing this for first time and I wanna tell that bloody "interviewer" to freaking learn DA language! And what bizarre questions these are???!!! Mispronouncing MarIAH CAREY?!?! What??? 😮🤯

[@babethpoumpouang5490]

Also I’m pretty sure that french M6 production especially back in those days might have looked very cheap compared to US industry. And the french people are not so great english speaking , with that terrible accent 😅 so all of that sure did not help , on the top of everything that might be goin behind the scene, and the travelling and touring etc…. but she is trying to stay cool and nice no matter what even with her own staff pressing her. Love Whitney 💜💜💜

[@realmusics5508]

You thought France was a third world country? France literally invented the first video camera and made the first movie in the world in a city called Lyon. What you see in this video is a set up made for the day for journalists from all around the world to interview her. You can see an US interview from that same day, same sofa, same lighting. And she is in even worse mood than here. Do your research before making such comments.

[@ladykiller1978]
