wow I love her even more. She reminds me of Whitney. I hope we never loose this icon! I could not take it. She is one of the real raw talents still living. My mother would look at me crazy, because I would play Mikki,Whitney, Jennifer Holiday etc. when I was only 12 yrs old. I had a good ear for quality. That is why I cannot appreciate the over-rated, so called vocalist of today (Beyonce/Rhianna/lady-gaga). DAMN IT, THIS IS REAL TALENT, AND A INSPIRATION!
Miki's voice is the business. The record industry is a snatcher of dreams an hopes of so many deeply talented individuals. You may not have gotten the dream you wanted Miki but that voice of your is outstanding , .
ROFLLMAO....Miki Howard is a fool. She said, " They had utensils with the Hotel name on it." OMGoodness! Side is hurting and I'm in tears. Not the sugar sandwiches. Damn! You know you are poor as whatever when you have to condiment sandwiches. Yet, she has overcome adversity, struggles and life's lessons to come out victorious. She could have been another great singer lost to drugs but she's not. That I'm greatful and glad about. She has too much talent to throw it away. Luv You, Miki Howard!
ROFLLMAO@Miki Howard! She is real as hell. When talkin' about her husband Ed she said, " Ugghh, Who Are You? " I'm so glad she is still here with us this is a gem of a talent. I have always loved Miki voice. Just Jazzy, Bluesy, Funky and Soulful. "Baby Be Mine and Love Under New Management" still sends chills up my spine. I can't believe she is 50. She looks great. I use to bump the mess out of her music in h.s and college. She has beautiful children. I wonder if that was her grandbaby.
For those who don't know, that lady Val Young is the one who used to sing the hook for some of 2pac's songs during his Death Row days. She's the one on To Live & Die In L.A.
Black radio and venues don't pay the bills for most black performers, and she has a valid point of just wanting to be accepted as a SINGER without her color being a factor. I read a lot and I noticed how the public library has African-American writers books labeled with a sticker ..wtf? Why can't you just be a WRITER? Labels suck and for black folks, it"s especially crippling
Wow! She looks so good! I have always loved Miki Howard and wondered what happened to her. With her determination and spirit, she will continue to do well. I would love to see one of her shows.
I like this story because it's inspiring. it tells a tale of hard times, security & safety, bad choices & the need to be loved. it tells a tale of hitting rock bottom & getting up. it's not that you fall but, how you pick yourself up is the most important part of the equation. Mikki is awesome & I have to say that I didn't know her voice was so beautiful.
Eddie was a MF!! He was going with my girlfriend in the Chi who favored Miki alot. I remember the day he told her he was leaving for Cali and left her with alot of money. Later we found out he left to get with Miki Howard. Woww! true story. Can't be mad at him though but we knew he was no good for her...SMH ! Did you see/hear the anger in her son, you don't screw over a mom whose son loves her dearly. Damn! he broke her nose? bastard!!....I LOVE and ADMIRE MIKI !! You go girl !
really insightful doc. We never know what someone really goes thru. She is a talented brillaint singer and she looks awesome..!! Miki release some new songs pls.
when artists don't do what these label want you to do they make their lives hell. They probably hired her husband to get with her so he could control her business decisions.
gotta get my hands on the miki does billie holliday and three wishes albums! miki looks so well and good. I know it hurt her when gerald passed on.rip GL I loved this unsung.
da da da da da dah Anit nobody like you Miki. I love you girl. Miki, Robi Reed, and Val Young all showed up at Vesta Williams funeral. I still can't believe we laid her to rest today,
@datruChosen: Don't allow those phoney types to cause you to disbelieve. GOD is very real i speak from a very personal knowledge....and the fact there are so many phony people who claim to be of GOD does not make him any less real. So many times i needed GOD in my persoanl situation and every time he came through to my rescue. You can't go by what others say about GOD...get to know him for yourself. Ask GOD to reveal himself to you on a personal level. GOD will do it if you sincerely ask him to.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker No offense, but no thanks. Too much evil has been done in the name of religion for me to EVER believe in it. As a black man, I can't endorse a doctrine that was used to justify slavery, that the Mormons use to classify us as "cursed subhumans", and that Western nations used (and still use) to rationalize runaway capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, and globalism. I don't understand how ANY black person could believe in God ... Allah, either. Arabs enslaved Africans, too.

@DaOrigTruthSeeker When our ancestors were stolen and sold, part of the dehumanization process necessary to instill the inferiority complex essential to creating willing, mindless slaves was the brainwashing of Christianity. That was not our religion. We had our own tribal practices, customs, traditions, songs ... most forever lost to the vestiges of enslavement, although we have maintained our indomitable spirit, unmatched creativity, and superior talent and physicality. I believe in THAT!
@DaOrigTruthSeeker The Black Church served its ultimate purpose when we were fighting for our rights in the volatile 60's. It was a respectable institution that had the uplifting of us in mind. Now, it serves only to line the pockets of fast-talking, pedophilic pastors. In every inner city in America, you can find at least 20 churches, but look at the condition of the inner city. The church is meant to be a beacon of the communities in which they reside. Instead, they symbolize nothing.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker God doesn't exist. One can only depend on oneself in this life. Believe in your self ... self-belief is MORE powerful than the artificial love of ANY imaginary being. What anyone wants, needs, or aspires to in this world can ONLY be found within his/herself ... nowhere else. Besides, if God does exist; seeing how fucked up shit is for black people, do you honestly believe he loves you (assuming you are black). If that's love, I'd rather worship the devil (if he existed).
Love you Mikki. I don't know how all these people got religion, Beyonce and Keisha Cole mentioned in this comment. Mikki is nothing like theme. No disrespect to anyone else but Mikki is what you call a real singer. That does not exist anymore exspecially in the younger generation.
Haha that's a good one!! You mean shaking your half naked booty all over the tv screen is not enough..LOL!!! Mikki Howard is one of the most underrated / underrepresented singers of the modern age...must have something to do with the fact that Mikki actually likes to wear clothing when she sings..haha..Beyonce, though talented on some level, has become more of a commercial product..
@gloryglory316 you need to read my post again and anonymizzle if you think Beyonce can sing better than Miki Howard you need to have your ears checked.
Done with this conversation. I have my opinion and you have yours.
@IMissMyMichael Please dont compare Miki Howard to Beyonce. Thats just ...
Are you kidding Miki Howard out sing bryonce on a bad rainy cold day...beyonce knowls or whatever the hell her name is...need to take singer lessions. I don't known why some people put her up top-compare her to all the great...did you hear ms .howard singing jazz. that child ( beyouce) has no voice for singing!!!
loved watching this! very interesting life story. i love Miki Howard's spirit! She seems so fun and lighthearted.
I have a few comments that i noted in my mind as i was watching:
1. Wow her mother was so wack! Abandoning her the way she did and believing some pervert man over her! glad she found a good foster family.
2. Why was she trying to make her daughter a crackhead with that whole "never say never, you might be on drugs one day" thing! I hope that was some reverse psychology. lol
Stop Judging!!!! Miki is the prettiest and most talented singer around. Who sounds better, Beyonce, Keysha Cole. lets get a grip. Miki was blackball by her ex-husband... and thats a shame. I have been a fan since Side Effect. Leave my girl alone. She is phenominal....God had his hand on her.. and thats why she is alive and doing well. Saw her at Catalinas Saturday 9/16/11 and she has not skipped a beat. I love Miki and she will be back! Watch out!!!
@IMissMyMichael Please dont compare Miki Howard to Beyonce. Thats just unfair to Miki. She's awesome but please dont trick yourself into thinking she can eff with Beyonce cuz thats just ridiculous.
Is it my imagination or did Miki Howard look like Keke Palmer when she was younger? lol If they ever need someone to play Miki Howard in a movie, Keke can definitely play the role! Keke can sang too!
btw I thought Michael Jackson was B. Howard's father til I saw this now Im not so sure lol
@IMissMyMichael i do agree that Miki is phenomenal though! She has a beautiful soul and a beautiful voice. Comparing her to Keyshia Cole is not fair to Keyshia lol
@DigitalDezinesCEO: GOD rebuke you Satan's disciple. I know you want me to shut up because you know i spoke truth and out of every comment you chose mine to respond to. You are demonic and when the light is shined on you and your kind you hate it. Now you SHUT UP and repent demon.
@snowman1919: People like you get on my nerves always trying to pervert scripture inorder to justify wrong. Did you read the part when Paul sought the GOD about his issue and GOD told him that his grace was sufficient? Stop trying to make their wrong right. Many homosexuals try to use that scripture about Paul to imply he had homosexual desires and there is absolutley no proof of that. Further more....for all we know he could have had a lust for women or it could have been a physical issue.

miki howard is brandond howard aka b.howard son /look him up he a singer too/and she has other kids too name nicholas and kaitlyn howard too/miki howard and her family are very close to the jackson's family /joe was her manger
...LOL about 2 seconds of this was about her mom being gay, but homosexuals in the chruch is the first thing I see. We know what the Bible says about a lot of things.... Including JUDGING PEOPLE! People are too focused on other people's sex lives. #YuckFace
Miki Howard is an amazingly great singer & playing Los Angeles Catalina Bar & Grill next week & can't wait! Amazed how so many like to judge but everyone is human & not entitled to judge anyone...my choice is to enjoy (Unsung is riveting!) and "Femme Fatale" is a vocal masterpiece that anyone who loves a great singer should experience...Bravo Miki, you are the real thing!!!
Awesome triumphant spirit. I never knew she was on drugs but while watching I kept thinking she's got that crackhead rambling & displaced laughter thing going. I'm glad she fought her way back though & she's still reaching for her dreams.
I was just watching this on TV becos it just went off. I remember when I first saw Brandond, I thought "Ooh he's cute!" I thought he was a teen! I had no idea he was born in the early '80s lol.

I really enjoyed this video, but I never knew about Miki Howard's pain. Sometimes we evryday folk dream of being famous when we should be thankful for the lives we live witout the showbusiness drama. But at any rate, Miki will always be one of my favorite female vocalists.
Folks scared to come out cuz yal judge them. Thats y they have to lie and decieve folks and the people in the bible had issues just like us. See if u read yur bible and get a true understanding u will see what i mean. Normally i don't respond to stuff like that. yal talkin bout Mikki look good no she look like she on something. She's a little too happy for me. lollllll But noones perfect I love her love under new management was da joint.
Wait everyone knows James was gay but u will not talk about mama Shirley being phoney bcuz out of all the gospel singers she is the realist u can see and feel the spirit in her u need to look at yur choir director or organist lol let me stop, i grew up in church and had a saved aunt and she would bring them home the ministers of music they were called. I didn't realize til i was in my 20's that wait uncle whatshisface was a queen and i don't mean beauty.i'm 46 now but thats life.
@msbelovedhines: I was merely using here interview as proof of what i was saying....because her mother was a gay/lesbian gospel member of the Caravans.Also there is a controversy growing over some claims that shirley Casear is still into it these days. Go to a site called ATOAST2WEALTH and study the history. When i heard MIki be upfront about her mother i did some research on my own and i learned alot. Miki sparked my intrest in wanting to know more. Cassiette Goerge's nephew confirmed it too.
I'm so proud that her oldest son "BRANDON" is TRUELY MJ's "SON". Search the PROOF.... Check out his songs "DANCE FLOOR" "SUPER MODEL" w/ Randy Jackson's daughter and "CRUSH" (POWERFUL stuff). He's connected to the JACKSONs and it has been a secret for sooooooo many years....What's in the dark, does come out to the light!!!!!
@asiya72 Is it really WoW!!!! So ur saying thats not her first husband son? I must admit he did remind me of the Jacksons when he was like " I CAN'T DO THIS"!!
@asiya72 I believe Brandon Howard is Michael Jackson's secret son too and I've done a series of 5 videos on that subject and it will become apparent that SOMETHING IS BEING HIDDEN.
this girl can't be anywhere near 50 ... not even 40... not lookin like this. I am 21 and many of my senior high school mates look like her right now. what the... !!! miki howard found the fountain of youth and kept it a secret.
Gospel music has alot of homosexuals in it....and not just from the past. A lot of them are not living the life they sing about. We can't be phony and talk about how todays young people are so out of control when alot of the church people are living a lie. I can't get with that phony preaching by Shirley Ceasar and many others who claim to be born again Christians and gay at the sametime when we all know what the Bible says about it. Either be gay and be real with it but stop decieving people.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker i dont care what the bible says about much of anything.Those words are not from God but man and over centuries man has REwritten it how HE sees fit not GOD.So believe the bible if u want but i advise clear rational thought when it comes to the bible to tell the bs from the real God gave us brains and logic for a reason.i dont like hippocritts either but it has nothing to do with what the bible says.my natural spirit tells me its fake and i tune it out
@DaOrigTruthSeeker And that, my friend, is why I am an atheist ... and proud of it. Religion is a self-inhibiting, hypocritical, bigoted, sexist, racist, fascist, classist, xenophobic, homophobic ... BULLSHIT system (in ANY form), that I refuse to adhere to. Fuck that.
It was not just her mom who was gay....so was Shirely Ceasar and Albertina Walker according to the nephew of Cassietta George. Go listen to him speak on it on a video called "Lesbian Shirley Cesar/Albertina Walker....he is a preacher and he exposed it all out in the open. You can also visit a site called atoast2wealth and read about James Cleveland and how many boys he turned out in the name of the Lord. Darryl Coley confessed he was into homsexulaity back then. Time for the truth yall.
Although I'm a huge Miki Howard fan, I crack up at the sound of her speaking voice, LMAO!!!! She's so hood in contrast to her sophisticated sound in her music!!!
@Juanabobana Believe it or not, as long as I have been a fan of hers, "Unsung" was the only interview that I have seen of hers- that's why her speaking voice stood out to me now, LOL!!!
That cant be her...she looks 27. Her baby daddy looks like her granddad.

We had our own tribal practices, customs, traditions, songs ... most forever lost to the vestiges of enslavement, although we have maintained our indomitable spirit, unmatched creativity, and superior talent and physicality. I believe in THAT!

@DaOrigTruthSeeker The Black Church served its ultimate purpose when we were fighting for our rights in the volatile 60's. It was a respectable institution that had the uplifting of us in mind. Now, it serves only to line the pockets of fast-talking, pedophilic pastors. In every inner city in America, you can find at least 20 churches, but look at the condition of the inner city. The church is meant to be a beacon of the communities in which they reside. Instead, they symbolize nothing.

@DaOrigTruthSeeker God doesn't exist. One can only depend on oneself in this life. Believe in your self ... self-belief is MORE powerful than the artificial love of ANY imaginary being. What anyone wants, needs, or aspires to in this world can ONLY be found within his/herself ... nowhere else. Besides, if God does exist; seeing how fucked up shit is for black people, do you honestly believe he loves you (assuming you are black). If that's love, I'd rather worship the devil (if he existed).

Haha that's a good one!! You mean shaking your half naked booty all over the tv screen is not enough..LOL!!! Mikki Howard is one of the most underrated / underrepresented singers of the modern age...must have something to do with the fact that Mikki actually likes to wear clothing when she sings..haha..Beyonce, though talented on some level, has become more of a commercial product..

loved watching this! very interesting life story. i love Miki Howard's spirit! She seems so fun and lighthearted.
I have a few comments that i noted in my mind as i was watching:
1. Wow her mother was so wack! Abandoning her the way she did and believing some pervert man over her! glad she found a good foster family.
2. Why was she trying to make her daughter a crackhead with that whole "never say never, you might be on drugs one day" thing! I hope that was some reverse psychology. lol

Stop Judging!!!! Miki is the prettiest and most talented singer around. Who sounds better, Beyonce, Keysha Cole. lets get a grip. Miki was blackball by her ex-husband... and thats a shame. I have been a fan since Side Effect. Leave my girl alone. She is phenominal....God had his hand on her.. and thats why she is alive and doing well. Saw her at Catalinas Saturday 9/16/11 and she has not skipped a beat. I love Miki and she will be back! Watch out!!!

Is it my imagination or did Miki Howard look like Keke Palmer when she was younger? lol If they ever need someone to play Miki Howard in a movie, Keke can definitely play the role! Keke can sang too!
btw I thought Michael Jackson was B. Howard's father til I saw this now Im not so sure lol

@snowman1919: People like you get on my nerves always trying to pervert scripture inorder to justify wrong. Did you read the part when Paul sought the GOD about his issue and GOD told him that his grace was sufficient? Stop trying to make their wrong right. Many homosexuals try to use that scripture about Paul to imply he had homosexual desires and there is absolutley no proof of that. Further more....for all we know he could have had a lust for women or it could have been a physical issue.

@msbelovedhines: I was merely using here interview as proof of what i was saying....because her mother was a gay/lesbian gospel member of the Caravans.Also there is a controversy growing over some claims that shirley Casear is still into it these days. Go to a site called ATOAST2WEALTH and study the history. When i heard MIki be upfront about her mother i did some research on my own and i learned alot. Miki sparked my intrest in wanting to know more. Cassiette Goerge's nephew confirmed it too.

Gospel music has alot of homosexuals in it....and not just from the past. A lot of them are not living the life they sing about. We can't be phony and talk about how todays young people are so out of control when alot of the church people are living a lie. I can't get with that phony preaching by Shirley Ceasar and many others who claim to be born again Christians and gay at the sametime when we all know what the Bible says about it. Either be gay and be real with it but stop decieving people.

You can also visit a site called atoast2wealth and read about James Cleveland and how many boys he turned out in the name of the Lord. Darryl Coley confessed he was into homsexulaity back then.
