Whitney Houston - Amazon Interview (8/31/09)

[MissBeckiebabyyy]

awww she's so adorable with that lisp of hers she can do no wrong in my eyes much love Whitney :-) RIP

[belizeanalien]

she looked good here.

[CourtJester82]

She may have verneers, but not dentures like older ppl get.

[LILRuthlessplaya88]

she doesn't sound so raspy her...

[TheScoobygia]

I dont think she sounds or acts high at all

[pokerclassful]

Botox

[icechips2005]

Those are dentures and she is high as a kite, but yet sooo beautiful! RIP Whitney Houston!!!

[AnaisKarim]

@icechips2005 You're so stupid. Why would anyone with real money have dentures? If they had fake teeth they would be implants. But you are just talking out of your ass anyway. 

[MrAnniemae]

Yeah, this interview is just a lil' strange, either, she has a brand new set of dentures in her mouth or she took a hit, or line, before this interview, cause the left side of her mouth is tweeking!!! And she's rambling on, as usual, trying to cover up the what's really going on! Rest Whitney!

[rhdeemdn2]

She definitely getting back. Looks good. Talks graciously. Her speech was her usual way to talk., from her tongue and roof of the palate injury as a child. Very nice woman.

[trayday35]

Whitney Houston is a thinker before speaking. If you watch her other video's she would laugh or repeat what was said, that is because she is thinking before she speaks. Now she has matured and her way of responding has become more serious because she does not want to be taken the wrong way and have what she say's on the front page of a gossip magazine.

[VanessaAKnox]

I like how she said working with Akon was "unique" lol

[CourtJester82]

Plus, I think she's answer off the top of her head instead of prepared statements...and she's trying to be gracious about lesser artists...especially Akon who is popular garbage.

[rammas2]

@CourtJester82 i agree with Whitney , i like Akon too.

[CourtJester82]

She coulda had something as simple as a bump on her tongue or on the roof of her mouth. ALL ppl get those u know.

[2conscious]

People are so silly. Whitney can be very articulate, or "ghetto". If you were a TRUE fan, you would know she was like this SINCE 1985. I think it's so stupid when people comment on these vids like they're psychoanalyzing her. "She looks like this..." "She's talking like this because...." No, fools. Many African-Americans (and people in general) have dual personas. 1 for the interview/formal, and the other is more laid-back, "street", or hood.

[spechie202]

THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG HERE YOU CAN SEE IT SHE IS NOT TALKING RIGHT OR SHE IS THINKING TO HARD AT THIS TIME AND MOMENT I DO NOT THINK SHE WAS DOING DRUGS AT THIS TIME I THINK SHE WAS TRYING TO HARD TO BE THE OLD HER WITH THE WAY SHE IS TALKING SHE LOOKS VERY GREAT HERE !

[lighteyes214]

@spechie202 She does still look really good despite all the abuse she suffered at her own hands. I think her voice was permanently altered due to the drug use. I've been saying that something is weird with her tongue. It looks curved to me. I suspect that the drug use did that. Her comeback was decent but I feel like she should've focused on movies and just made CDs and videos. She didn't need to tour anymore.

[MickeyDs14]

Y'all drugs does this to you. Like the above poster said, she's been through alot and it's affected her emotionally and physically. Now she thinks and talks like a woman who has matured in this interview. And drugs affects your mind, so it's not surprising she wasn't really into interviews when she came back. I just hope she's resting in peace.

[menelik38130]

She seems a bit uncomfortable here, or struggling to find her words....

[TheMCLamb4ever]

she's now very scatter-minded.

[Top10EnergyMusic]

She is an ultrasensual lady, she gives ultrapositive energy and she is a great, great Diva. Forever Whitney Houston , number One in top pop music.

[whitney1ish]

I LOVE THE FACE EXPRESSION WHITNEY DOES AT 4.51 LOL SHE IS A JOKER

[hazeleyedgurl13]

Y are all tw comments bad about her she is still wonderful beautiful and is makin her way bak ya wouldnt like it if it was ya they were talkin bout about

[othneil100]

Compared to her other 2010 interveiws whitney sounds with it? You can tell shes been clean for awhile before she did this interveiw because shes talking in depth with the questions shes being asked and answering them really well. Thats the whitney i like to see she looks proffesional and well presented here to this would have to be her best interveiw for 2010 keep it up whitney!

[whatigot2say]

Poor Whitney.. she must not realize her singing days are done.. she can no longer sing, her voice is destroyed. Clive is a money sucking low life that will throw her under the bus when he thinks he can't squeeze another nickel out of her record sales.

[lethel4444]

@whatigot2say i was wondering about that. Clive seems well intentioned,but i wonder about it. I think the business as uusally just goes on.They push through becasue money is at stake. Surely he knew she was out of sorts before the Grammy's. How could he stop. Such a shame. I think they should pre-record some things in case the singer can't do a show. She needed help then. She need to stop and not be in the midst of 'the Hollywoodscene"

[whatigot2say]

@lethel4444 whitneys mother never wanted her involved in the music business, if you ever look at her mothers face it's all there. she knew how destructive this would be for her daugther and she was right.

[iloveabba91]

Whitney was the most beautiful woman on earth. I just can't believe a black woman (no offense) look that angelic and etheral. Everything on her body is just perfect.

[whitney1ish]

whitney looks asian like a pakistani. she is so pretty and stunning. i heard back in her day whitney was famous for her looks like angelina and alot of ppl fell in love with her all the men had crushes on her lol.

[mikelovesgod]

@whitney1ish It's true about Whitney's looks back in the day. I'm one of those men who fell in love with her looks and her voice. Maybe you are too young to remember, but Whitney was the bomb when she first came out.

[craziestbxboy]

she speaks so much better when sober and cleaned up she always had class but seh brought hersefl back to it remarkable singer and an accomplished one

[StarpeemReturns]

att 5:05 she talks EXACTLY like her mother :O

they say you get more like your parents the older you get...

i guess its true!

[JamieHumsWallyPees]

Her face is so fresh and cute

[ludwina8000]

Whitney went through a lot, years of drugs and self abuse, making bad choices, emotional addiction to her husband etc, what do you expect? Of course those years will show. And of course she is not exactly the same person as many years ago when she was 22. We ALL CHANGE through the yeras. ... I am happy that SHE'S ALIFE, and the rest is not for me to judge. Her life should be an example of what not to choose and how to wake up and pick yourself up. it 's positive, god bless you Whitney! love you

[lesbmistique]

hi whitney love you heeps i pray you will be blessed immensely. those that are here to be critising her yall need to stop cause miss whitney is fiecely and wonderfully made

[DriveAustra]

I read where she had major dental surgery in 2008 and was wearing a bridge that filled the roof of her mouth. It has since been removed.

[adamps16]

I don't get where this lisp has come from she sounds like daffy duck she hisses at the end of every word. Surely that isn't the drugs.

[mjjghosts]

is'nt the drugs i doubt that she was on them for like 19-20 years the after affects re gonna be harsh especially if your own crack cocaine.

[DollyMat]

Thats true... Chaka Khan talks about the long come down from drugs and its after effects.

[trey1029]

I think it's because she has new teeth and hasn't adjusted to them yet.

[bigjbsmooth]

Its her dental work that makes her talk differently.

[Shareeberrie]

I don't mean to be superficial - but what did she do to her lips? She didn't need to do anything. Hope she does not succumb to the beauty pressures of the industry...

[cristipD]

I wonder why she is very sssssssssss...

i mean she can not do the words with ssssss corectly...

?

[Cynramus]

It's because of her brand new teeth. It asks some time for adaptation. She looks so young and beautiful. Love her.

[moderadonna]

She didn't do anything to her lips.

[CARMENGALCERAN]

What's the matter with people? People at their 50s are better, sometimes, than people who are 30.  Please, are we crazy?

Youth is a state of mind. Please, people who more than 40 has to stay at home? Please, please. Are we nuts?

[spinto12]

i have never understood why people say things like "she looks good for her age". ? ok, she looks good because she looks good...AGE has nothing to do with it. i don't know why it is when people(MAINLY women) get to a certain age, their age moves to the forefront of EVERYTHING they do. when she was in her 20s, people weren't saying. "she looks good to be in her 20s". ??? AND yes she's nearing 50 but she's not there yet....she's 46. let's not age her 4 years prematurely.

[kthxbyaaah]

i love you, whitney..you know what i'm sayin!

[Mimmo1440]

oohhhhhhhhh i wanna dance with somebody!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYIN?

[aamadcow]

you know what i'm saying...

[dromycatcher]

where can I view the interview with oprah?

[LUKAvac2]

replay on this if u find a interview pls ;)

[LANORDA9]

She looks great but I hate when she does this corporate look. I prefer her more dramatic looks. Nevertheless, Wow. This is a woman nearing 50

[thewahb]

Love you whitney...You know what I'm sayin'

[rijekarastocine]

Ya know what I'm sayin' .... haahhahah

[steamyboy69]

Whitney looks amazing, I hope she get s her voice back, WHITNEY WE LOVE YOU!!! CONGRATS TO YOUR #1 ALBUM I LOOK TO YOU, GREETINGS FROM THE PHILIPPINES

[WH012]

"Worth it" is a great song! and Whitney looks so good in this video.

[eragoofy1]

Bobby Brown also developed a speech impediment from a stroke supposedly from excessive cocaine use. I think this may be the same case for Whitney unfortunately.

[JerryJay1]

She's just aging naturally that's all....

[nobsn09]

i think whitney has had some cosmetic surgery which causes that lisp she looks good but that lisp is annoying

[WH012]

lol yea there is this lip thing going on with her, it is very annoying. still love her, but damn its really evident.

[Praise2Hymn]

do you mean with a lisp? Her voice does sound really awkward! She never talked like this before.

[akuapiata]

Actually Whitney has had this lip stutter all her career. Most songstresses of Whitney's greatness which are few have the ability to wail and hence the lip stutter.

[delilasuljic]

I watched teh oprah show after Whitney's 'My love is your love'' album and she didn't have this lip stutter. So I think you're not right about it.

[akuapiata]

Actually she does, not every song she sings she has it. The preachers wife when she sings 'I believe in you and me, I will always luv u, greatest luv of all, heartbreak hotel just to name a few. Obviously you don't know Nippy all that well. Her lip stuttering is her trademark and its for real.

[taurusg32]

The lip stutter is nerves - thats all it is.

and es she's done that - years ago.

The only way she used to avoid it was to pause considerably cos sometimes her outh goes into action before her minds has had a chance to put all her thoughts into gear.

Its no big deal - in facy its quite endearing.

We still love her no matter what

[akuapiata]

No its not, its Nippys trademark. No other artist does it better. In her prime she did it quite well infact many other legends sing in this manner, Lena Horne, Aretha, Patti and Diana Ross to name a few. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion about it being nerves. Nippy herself talked about her unique way of singing years ago in the early 80's maybe you should look it up on here an interview with Oprah in 1988?

[taurusg32]

I didn't mean her singing manner I thought people were discussing her talking as she doesn't sing in this clip.

[ComoLaFlorr]

i love her so much one of my fav artists but why does she talk like this?..

[maddy11247]

@ComoLaFlorr like what?

[ComoLaFlorr]

@maddy11247 I cant explain it but eem.. you should watch someother intrviews and comparis its kinda weird usually she doesnt talk like she did here

[DragMamaONE]

I love you Whitney

[Mariexb44]

THE QUEEN IS BACK :D

[aerostockians]

Whitney looks different - looks like she is 3/4 re-birthed. Trying to get a new glow - her future should be great - just so along as she stay away from...?..you know who. A video for fans.

[reeeltalk]

wow she sounds lik shes been living in her own bubble for the last 10 years, i love her tho man! such a legend! im glad she seems like shes able 2 carry on 4 the better i just hope shes off drugs! love ya whitney god bless

[lozanogomez]

I'm sooooo happy to see a celebrity that doesn't use plastic surgery

Good for u

[jaypaidincash]

she doesent have plastic surgery but she has admitted to breast surgery done

[lozanogomez]

well, it's ok if she did, was just surprising to see that in the world where she's living, full of luxure and money, if she let herself grow older with the effects of it, is in a way corageous, cause everybody wants to see her as beautiful and young as when she was 20

[jaypaidincash]

yea shes always been beautiful anyways so no big deal

[WH012]

somebody said she looks a little old now, which is true. im sure drugs was a big part of it. whitney at 46 without the past drug use would've looked way better. but only whitney could go through what she did, and still look THIS GOOD. thats how natrually beautiful she was. and she still is a beauty

[amerboy22]

She looks amazing!!! she was born beautiful and she will always be beautiful. no matter what

[5andra1987]

I love you Whitney.. You know what I'm saying :D

[starpeem]

i love whitneys voice, its so soothing, shes starting to look a little old :(

[bicobotscho]

she looks fine for her age.

[yyGODyy]

Yeah, age and a coke addiction will do that to ya..

[DivasForeverChannel]

Fab Interview, Eager To Get The Album!!!

[jimdavis081]

I just bought her new CD and I'm so in love with it!

[Chasenip]

I'm guessing this was recorded before the listening events. I'm fairly certain it is th esame wig she is gonna sport for the album debut but it was cut shorter before the parties. She is still getting used to her new teeth here. Her lisp seems a little more pronounced at the parties. She just looks so bored and over it here. She has made no secret that she really doesn't like these interviews. Her 'concert' is tomorrow. Whitney just, 'stand and deliver'. LOVE YOU!!!!!

[Tyrell667]

She got her "new teeth" a LONG time ago!!!

[Questionoflove]

@Tyrell667 YES , since she was born, she always had great, strong white teeth.

[San47di1]

@Questionoflove Whitney's teeth are capped just like most of the people in Hollywood. She originally had a rather noticeable gap between her front teeth.

[alpahaGod]

thanks I am so happy for her

[alpahaGod]

Watch her concern tomorrow its going to be hella fair

[whitneywisdom2]

The concert airs on Wednesday!

[weh63]

Simply put. Truthfully stated. Whitney Elizabeth Houston, you are beautiful and I love you!

[sweetlilness]

same here :)

[DriveAustra]

She had major dental work two years ago and she is still challenged with the fittings. I believe she has some kind of bridge in her mouth.

[uncoverbrother]

two things: 1. when did she develop that lisp?! and 2. when did she start saying 'you know what i'm saying' all the time! i hate that!!

but she looks great and i'm glad to see she's off the stuff-- for her daughter's sake.

[whitneywisdom2]

uncoverbrother , she started the lisp at 4:00 yesterday and she started saying "you know what I'm saying" all the time two weeks ago at noon.

[uncoverbrother]

lmao! thanks, i needed that!

[whitneywisdom2]

No problem. LoL

[jmass04]

I don't know what's up with that?  She sounded like something was wrong. She looks great though, I think that she is just getting used to interacting with media once again.

[whitneywisdom2]

jmass04, I think she had dental work done. I don't know. I'm not trying to be all up in her (mouth) business, so that doesn't interest me. As far as the other, interacting with the media, I don't think that will ever be a problem for her.

[weh63]

I think she has new teeth. Also, she has been saying "you know.." for her entire career. Don't believe me, some of the videos are here on youtube!

[uncoverbrother]

oh ok. i just never noticed it before

[WH012]

this is a great album!!! i got it today!!! and it is amazing. whitney sounds so good

[rmbb10]

Awesome; my diva look great and is back on the music scene.

[nippyme]

the best thing to happen to music has returned :-)

[liam11123]

Shes looking great

[musicexpo]

I LOVE YOU WHITNEY.

WELCOME BACK!

[deke123]

your the best.

[nippyreigne]

I just bought a copy of the album. All I can say is that I am addicted to it!!! Whooaa!!!! Rock the industry again, whitney.

[christina030378]

i have been waiting alot..thnx god i got the cd 2day... whitney is amazing i luv her voice n her 2...i can't sleep without hearing whitney a minute..god bless u.whitney...

[jay28hay]

she seems so humble and sincere - i think she realises her mistakes - i'm glad she had the strength to get ou t of the mess she was in - took her some time mind you - but she did it when it was right for her and i for one will be supporting her all the way no matter what the haters or critics say.

[schmerck]

So cool, so simple, so good.

[mtlogopeda]

She's absolutely the best singer, the best voice of all the times...qué guapa...amazing!

[kweenpoto]

Love you WHITNEY!! album is amazing

This lady is outstanding!!
