Yes I too immediately recognized the difference in the way she was speaking-the way her mouth was slightly contorting.Her voice was sort of raspy also. Im not a hater but I wasnt a big fan either-only purchased a few of her cds.I also knew that Whitney was ONE of the greatest singers of all time.I remeber her speaking voice in the early yrs was always lady-like soft, sweet and gentle.
To all of those who feel it necessary to criticize a person who has left this side of the world, remember those comments just one second before you draw your last breath and enjoy. Whitney Houston is a LEGEND who had faults just like we all do and who was a victim Bobby the CLOWN and I hope he does not have another restful and peaceful night or day of sleep. I extend my condolences to Ms Sissy (a legend in her own right, Whitney's Mom) and Ms Whitney's daughter...RIP Legend and Goddess...
I was in high school when Whitney Houston came to pretty much everyones attention back in the 80s..loved her then, loved her now..I love 'I Look To You'.
It sounds like she has a lisp I have never heard her use before. Does she have problems with her mouth/jaw or something now? I am not trying to be mean, I noticed it in her singing as well. She used to use much greater diction in speaking and singing. She's still beyond amazing.
@j77walker She has a false upper teeth now that prevent her from being able to pronounce the letter "S" the way she used to. Look at close up pictures of her smiling from 2003 and earlier. And now look at her. You can tell the shape of her teeth have noticeably changed..
@gotcalcio4 Okay. That makes sense. I just thought it was odd that she has this now and has always has such beautiful speech. She's still amazing. Thanks for the kind reply.
@gotcalcio4 without a doubt I think due to the heavy drug use they may have damaged her teeth the entire upper teeth are completely different then any part of her career which is actually amazing because I thought her teeth looked great from about 1985-2002. But I agree 2003 they still looked good but not like before and they are completely different teeth now.
I'm glad Whitney got her life back. I wish her the best. I did purchase her new CD. I wish she would have rested maybe just one year though. Her voice is not the best at this moment. I'm sure by next year she'll sound fine.
She didn't punch a white guy, it was a white woman who was playing tenis with Whitney and she used that word in reference to Whitney's play. I live in Newark, and you have no idea on what your talking about. Investigate. Look up Forest Hill section of Newark, Look up the Ironbound and Ivy Hill section of Newark then you will realize the statement you made about my city is incorrect!
All that is beside the point...I grew up between Irvington and Brooklyn...very familiar with barbaric Newark...sorry for my contention but I have always hated Newark...my father's business was near Dayton Street Projects and again I am very familiar with brick city's-not-so-glamorous tapestry...
Sorry for perhaps mixing periodicals references to Whitney's past with regards to her known temper..I am a fan of hers and personal friends with several of her family members...I worked in Ironbound btw
Ivy Hill used to a quite a notorious project tenement right behind the A&P on the way to South Orange...like I said very familiar with the tapestry and Newark has worked very hard to gain its violent reputation...love it all you wish...
Now back to the point I made, since your argument got derailed by your love for brick city...Whitney is not a punk which was the basis of my observation
Bobby did not abuse Whitney the way Ike abused Tina...Both parties admitted their faults toward each other
FYI the incident I am referring to took place at a Radisson Hotel in 1991 during the Holyfield fight...the incident also involved her brother Michael and is duely documented so before you start criticizing the acute memory of another you might do some research yourself...read a book
Namely the book written by Kevin Ammons, "Good Girl, Bad Girl" of which Whitney has not denied as clearly this was supported by the local newspaper that broke the story as it occurred
@TheSanctifiedSoldier well if you watched oprah she said he tried to hit her and she biffed him over the head whit a phone and good on her!! and i think you'll find if it wasnt for that w****r she wouldnt have started drugs and wouldnt have lost and amazing voice but thankfully shes regaining it and for the n***er thingy if i was black i would have done the same thing and dont judge a book by its cover or were it comes from
Hey you guys Whitney is a different Woman now done with drugs having a teenager trying to put her life back together.I think music is not her first thing going.There is only one WHITNEY! Tho and I want to say welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@azzerqaz Yes she has a lisp because her teeth are false they were knocked out by Bobby but her face is just as gorgeous as ever hell who am I fooling she looks like a hot mess the only thing that I like other then her talent and her figure are her lace wigs! LOL
don't quote me on this but I seriously doubt Bobby knocked her teeth out and is still breathing...Whitney has two living brothers from the hood!!!
Having said that, I believe that Whitney has gum disease or something like that which afflicted her father...he had false teeth too...cocaine does not agree with everybody...teeth are usually adversely affected by drug abuse for many African Americans...check the medical journals...
she looks great! ...and the album has at least 5 dance hits...a song for you is amazing! check out here i didt know my strengh remix by peter rahoufer
YOU CAPTURED MY SENTIMENTS!! Yes, she is the BEST!!
And, yet I understand why this might be important to Whitney. It is an affirmation and testament that she made it through that pit of fire to reclaim her life.
Don't get me wrong. I do like Houston's ''new'' voice (which I prefer actually) and I don't need to say something bad about her but...is it me or her vocabulary is quite limited? And her general way of expressing herself.
English is not my mother-language so I might miss something.
And the constant use of ''y' know what I'm saying?'' is really distracting. My father used to repeat a certain expression but he stopped it after we mentioned it - but someone needs to tell you.
whitney looks great! but, can somebody please tell me whats goin on with her mouth. I notice lately when she speaks its as if she cannot open her mouth all the way...or is it just me?
The thing that amazes me about this interview is how much she sounds like she did 20 years ago. Her voice, her personality...it all rings of Whitney in her prime. You can see that she is just in a better place.
Would some of you guys quit being "hateful" Queens...Be glad that she is/has gotten her life together and at least trying.....She has come a long way....Root for her verses trying to tear her down. Everyone in life has some form of addiction of something....Some it's being "catty" and "gossipy"......like some of you are being on here. Some of you didn't think she would be back to this point. Pray for her instead of criticizing her. Give her a break and just enjoy her music.
this video have been heavily edited. All of the interesting juicy bits seem to have been cut out. it just jumps in the middle of her talking when you imagine she is about to say something real..

I think she was high here but who cares Whitney is back and I'm so blessed to be able to see her blow up the industry once again she is a beautiful lady and a wonerful talent WHITNEY IS AN ICON!
WalMart stores were actually told not to put the CD on shelves to sell until tomorrow (September 1) I was told that by an employee. So the fact that you found it in the A-Z sections today is great and that is better than me being sent away and told to come back tomorrow!
I love her new album. I just went to Walmart to get the album, and it was not in the new music section. I had to go find it in the A-Z section; that kind of made me sad that they weren't promoting her like other artists.
Fucking Awesome Badass Album. Thanks for the awesome music, Whitney. I love the songs "I look To You", "Salute", "Didnt know my own Strenght", and "A Song For You" the most.

I understand that everyone needs Bobby Brown to be Ike Turner in order to explain what made the good little church girl go rogue
I love her music but she isn't the most pleasant or well spoken person on earth
Whitney is from Newark...not exactly la glamour, elegance or grace
Whitney has 2 older brothers, she ain't no punk
it was reported back in the 80's that she punched a white man in Kentucky or Kansas for calling her a N###er so I doubt Bobby beat her
in fact she already admitted beatin him
