Sad that it ended like this. She really was a beautiful woman, with a kind, wild smile. Compared to todays femane singers, she is way beyond them. The qualuty of her voice, her sophisticated looks and the energy that she sends in each and every song will always be missed, but with a smile her records will always be listened to.

[@CurePine]

That's actually funny because even though her voice isn't the same, it's still better than 99% of the big artists right now. She's not doing her best performances, but she's def getting better than that disaster that was GMA

[@jackelatern]

she is getting better. she has to get that bold feeling inside. she is nervous right now. she don't want to fail. loving it.

[@swdoran7488]

her hair looks so good in this

[@saharadesert7339]

It's a wig. But anyway. She was a beauty. Inside, out. Always grateful to her Lord. She struggled with her insecurities and had to fight with the demons. God bless her! Finally she is at peace.

[@mariahyohannes]

@@saharadesert7339 It was still her hair so what's your point?

[@mariahyohannes]

@@saharadesert7339 When artist tour and do photoshoot and interviews they cannot continue to die, cut and color their hair because it will cause extreme damage to the hair that is why a MAJORITY of female artists wear weaves, wigs & extensions. Even if Whitney wasn't famous why is a woman wearing extensions make her insecure?

Möge Gott uns eine neue Whitney schenken. Es wird auf Erden 🌏 auch schöne Töchter geboren mit viel Talent und Soul

[@diorrboyyyy]

@@pitt3326 No. We only have 1 Whitney. there will never be another

[@pitt3326]

@@diorrboyyyy Ja du hast Recht. Es gibt für immer die eine Whitney. Es gibt auf dieser Erde auf der wir leben, viele Menschen die sich ähnlich aussehen, und gleiche Talente haben. Glennis Grace singt wie Whitney, nur sieht sie nicht genauso aus. Es ist aber wahrscheinlich, dass eines Tages ein neues Talent mit einer solchen Oktaven Soulstimme, in ihre Fußstapfen tritt um eigene Weiße Karriere zu machen. Die Musikindustrie braucht neue Talente und diese zu fördern und aufzubauen. 🔊🎸🎼

[@MTCfan]

Speak the truth my Sister. Like Whitney says, "it can'y get any sweeter than this" I love Whitney!

[@Rockinpatchouli]

I feel so bad for her daughter, shes so young and already lost her mother...Whatever people say, she was a fabulous woman and singer who deserves our admiration...and what she has become because of drugs alcohol personal problems and a bad ex-husband is actually none of our business!It was her life and we should keep in mind all the wonderfu musical moments she shared with us and with the love she gave trough her music. R.I.P Whitney...always in our hearts!

[@living_peace]

Her daughter is dead 2015

[@Aldebaran2690]

She's a beautiful woman, mother and singer ! Love her ^^^^

[@all4mePope]

Go Whitney God bless YOU!

[@originaldeftom]

It is so sad to watch that now in retrospective. She was so convincing and looked really well (given the circumstances). I adored this woman and her legacy still lives on. While some say she was a bad role model, may I say apart from her "inner demons" (= drugs) she was one heck of a fantastic woman and oozed nothing but grace and love. I miss her so much. RIP you trouble soul.

[@nickiberinka]

Thank you!!!! when i first watched i was like.... why is he up in her face like that??? He was toooooooooooo close for her comfort , and they made her sit in the wrong place!

[@TRafael82]

Evil wanted to destroy this beautiful lovely woman.

[@mike198932]

I love her. I would get so annoyed by that translator.

[@M77856]

Sie war die schönste Frau auf der Welt❤ wenn ich im Auto sitze und für mich alleine fahre kann ich nicht aufhören ihre Musik zu hören

[@Undefeated92]

4:30 - 4:37 She's so cute and Great ! DIVA !

[@hallimann2008]

Vielen Dank für Deinen Song,den spiele ich heute noch um mich von Dir zu verabschieden!! In LIEBE.................

[@taylor5973]

I hope it doesn’t take another 10 year and now she’s gone 😢🥺 I wish she would come back.

[@Sogmusic]

Ich kann gar nicht so viel essen wie ich kotzen könnte wenn ich die Frau des AWD Manns und den Doktor Arbeit Fälscher auf der Couch neben der einmaligen Whitney sitzen sehe.

[@djbettyford8478]

Uwe Fischer yesss right

[@yvetterenee8256]

It's hard to hear with the translator talking so loud.

[@I-AM-BELIEVER]

Pat looked very jealous

[@caduteacher]

Her daughter seems to be a very nice girl

[@sashakang9063]

Looka Krissi🥺😍 damn RIP WHITNEY & Krissi

[@drakon6666]

I like what she does at 4h33, and this final smile! So great.

[@Dedicated2WendyWilliams]

does anyone have this interview without the german voice over?

[@chislehurstbat]

@Bluetenstaub it's German television... I can see why it has been translated. Happens in other countries too.

[@BUweB]

What a crazy question. But the explanation is great.

[@AlessandroCipriano]

We love you Whitney and Jesus loves you:)

[@Bluetenstaub]

I totally agree with you :) I am not against dubbing per se. Not at all. But it is only as good as the budget allows. Movies are well done most of the time. Dubbed Documentaries and Intervies on the other hand too often fall short of the original. Sometimes the content gets totally twisted around. And since I am German it bothers me. You're right about the the cost question. However don't forget the educational aspect.

[@jotge.3444]

Sie war wohl damals schon sehr krank. Die Anforderungen dieses extremen Künstlerlebens mit den großartigen Erfolgen, und leider auch des gescheiterten Privatlebens hatten ihren Preis. Diese großen Künstler sind auch nur Menschen, die ihre Probleme haben. Schon 3 Jahre später war es vorbei.

[@stylecollective-qt9um]

I think that with proper vocal rehabilitation and the right vocal coach she's going to be fine, but it will take time. Some of the greatest popular vocalists of our time have gone through traumas that stopped them from singing entirely until they relearned the anatomy of their instrument and how to use it without harming it; Dame Shirley Bassey and Celine Dion come to mind, and these are two healthy women. That Whitney is even alive, let alone able to sing a single note is no small feat.

[@Bluetenstaub]

Yeah I get that. Concerning live shows you're probably right!

[@timmy841212]

I swear she was looking like her dad's side for a minute, now she's looking like her mom and her relatives. Eerily, lol Still beautiful and I don't see her high. That's just how she looks now.

[@padussia]

I was wanting her to make a comeback too. Jehovah God answered my prayers because I didn't even know she was coming out with a come back album in 2009.

[@timmy841212]

Why is she reminding me so much of Dionne?

[@Tokoroegao]

she is soooo annoyed about that stupid grammar question that really she is totally rejecting the host from then on... she´s not looking at him and really answering the questions to the tv cameras and the crowd not the guy. Come across a little strange though. Loved the performance though :-)

[@chislehurstbat]

@Bluetenstaub I still can't see anything wrong with dubbing films and translating English into German since this was German TV. The reasons that films are not dubbed into Nordic languages is down to cost. The market is simply to small. At least Germans learn proper English grammar in school, something very much amiss in the UK.

[@Bluetenstaub]

I HATE how Germans need to translate EVERYTHING! At least they could use subtitles. And yeah the questions were some how stupid.

[@cheykiddd]

LOOK ART HER struggle breathing! its breaking my heart............cocaine does that to your respiratory. DON'T DO IT. EFFING HEAR ME? no! RIP MY BABY ANGEL I ONLY KNEW OF YOU FOR A BRIEF MOMENT IN TIME BUT I NOW SEE HOW AMAZING YOU ACTUALLY WERE, YOU DIDN'T DESERVE ANY OF THAT BS PEOPLE THREW AT YOU!

[@drakon6666]

At 4:33 more precisely...

[@F1Deutschlandde]

Sorry, seing this interview the first time, i´m SO SURE that she´s high. Her reaction, her kind of speaking. 4 years after we now that she has never left her problems. Poor daughter!

[@clariceking4067]

Don't be "SO SURE", because you'd be wrong. Have you ever been around someone who is high before? Well, unfortunately I have. She had JUST finished performing and was a little out of breath. Definitely NOT high here. Now you can see her on Good morning America 2002 and there she is high as a kite.

[@F1Deutschlandde]

I saw lots of people, don´t ask. But she had problems at this time (2009) and she behaves in a strange fashion here, doesn´t she?

[@SerafiniAGaunt]

+Matt Allen She was taking those weird pauses because she didn't exactly know when the translator would speak, so she'd either pause or go very fast

[@Anointed012]

She doesn't look high in this clip.

[@bigboysingsj7578]

The guy say I hope it don’t take another ten years!! Very disrespectful of him!! The crowd was very welcoming but the interviewer and his guest were not!!

[@erickpril]

does not mean that all guys there are gay!!!!!

[@Kuhstreichler]

Ihr Erfolg war ihr einfach zuviel. Verständlicherweise. Jeder mag sie, mit ihrem Glamour. Aber ohne, ist sie nur ein Niemand, so wie ich, und man muss lernen, damit um zu gehen. Das schafft man aber nicht, solange man Reichtum versichert ist.

[@islezeus]

Whitney has a big gay fanbase it seems in Germany.

[@Bluetenstaub]

However Germans tend to translate everything. And worse they do it incorrectly a lot of times. Interviews/Movies/etc are rarely shown in their original language. That's why Germans speak poorly english. Go to northern european countries. You'll see most ppl there speak proper engl not least because they do not sync everything. It's an easy way to educate your people :] But I admit in some other countries the sync is so bad it messes up the the whole movie. Poland e.g. Gosh that was horrific!!

[@apocolocyntosis]

scheiß dolmetscher, sowas von nervig. da muss sich das deutsche fernsehen echt ma was einfallen lassen

[@ImStep-by-Step]

I can’t stand Pat!!

[@miss111]

It is Just unpolite and a " star " should be professionel enough to give a normal interview and look at the interviewer... und was laberst du dan für ne scheiße von produktplazierung?? Bei Gottschalk geb ich dir aber Recht

[@user-kj1pq6zh3x]

She looks & talks weird, painful & irritating to hear

[@jerrymcdougle4461]

Pat,looked so jealous!
