I absolutely love Whitney Houston, there is not another soul alive that can still measure up to her talent. This is the year I had my oldest daughter & I named after Whitney. RIP Whitney - may God be with Bobbi K.
I believe there could be other artists such as Whitney. Jennifer Hudson killed it on Dream Girls, but Whitney had something so special. Your right, she is incomparable.
BDiaz my daughter said that my generation, Whitney’s generation had great music and she wished that she experienced that music era of the 80’s more so the 90’s.
Oh Whitney...You were my childhood hero, and my heart is truly broken now that you're gone. You are the greatest vocalist I've ever heard, and I will always adore you!!!!
"I'm too famous for my own nerves." Although this was supposed to be intended as a light hearted comment, looking back I think it spoke volumes about the incredible pressures she felt constantly.
Such a good interview. I know The Bodyguard era was HUGE for her, but I love the Whitney era and the I'm Your Baby Tonight era . So beautiful RIP Nippy. You are terribly missed.
Such a sad lost. I lost my daughter on her 23rd birtday Krystal lynn and i know the love of a mother and daughter bond. Rip Krystal Whintney and Bobbi Kris. But Krystal left a daughter name Krissy and she was only 3 but at the age of 5 now she is broken from the lost of her mother. Its hard for a mother and daughter that carrys the love of GOD
Knowing how Whitney was underneath all the glamour, I know for SURE that was her sense of humor. Nippy was hood, and she was a hometown girl, she knew what it was! LOL
It sounds as though she was annoyed by him trying to give Clive more credit than what he deserved... But she set him straight, it was her talent that kept the ball moving. Rest in peace...
The true, relaxed, raw Whitney. Good to see this. Thank God for Cissy Houston, a warrior woman who always takes care of her baby girl! We need more mothers like her.
Those were the days. Donnie was a unique, kind and megafriendly character. Always classy and eloquent, I feel like he was a good role model for young people watching Video Soul. TV today is so full of trash. It's sad. Whitney was wonderful, as always.
GOD BLESS YOU CISSY FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL AND GREAT MOTHER TO YOUR CHILDREN, GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU FOREVER AS LONG AS YOU HAVE LIFE THAT THE LORD OUR SAVIOR HAS AND CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU, YOU WONDERFUL MOTHER. I HOPE TO SEE MORE OF THEM LIKE YOU! YOU ARE THE GREATEST, MOTHER CISSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the Oprah interview Whitney said they dated 3 years before marriage and Bobby said same in his book. Bobby was with Whitney at the 1989 premier of "Harlem Nights". There are pictures of him with her father.
@MrChicago891 I know, I don't get why it's left off all the compilations. True, it wasn't as "instant" a song in terms of hooks. (It might be harder today for such a simply beautiful song to be a radio hit.) But it did in fact scale the top of the pop and R&B charts.
@MrChicago891 I just checked out "Miracle" and I don't think it's "strange" at all that it's never played and not featured. It's not a catchy tune. Its beautiful and Whitney sang it better than anyone could with all her talent and passion (I love her). But I can see why it didn't make it, for example, on the wonderful "Greatest Hits" DVD (2000) that I own. I love that dvd. (May she RIP)
Lol, I’m late but thought I’d answer anyways 🙂But earlier in the interview, he asked her who would she like to do a song with, and she mentioned Michael, however, Michael hadn’t reached out to her or called her on doing a song with together even though they had talked about it. So basically Donnie was making a joke and comparing her wanting to do a movie with Robert to her also waiting by the phone for Michael to call to do a song together.
I'm a New Media Journalist and even though this was recorded way back in the day, that cameraman should've already cut away from Donnie, gone to Whitney, and then back to Donnie again haha. Dude was tired as hell that day lol.*
That's where you're wrong! Whitney had been with Bobby since 1989. This show dated back in 1991. So, she was with Bobby during that time. A year later, they got married.
She was such a joy to watch in interviews. So charismatic and beautiful.

Along with Arsenio Hall , Donnie Simpson helped to promote R&B, Soul as well as Hop Hop music in the 80's and 90's.

"I think you might like it." The BodyGuard makes 400+ million dollars in profit.
I have to be there
She was very innocent, humbled and down to earth.
she was so cute 💖
the voice
Whitney's energy, her smile, her spirit......her voice. Whitney I love you, you are truly missed. Peace
Whitney=TEMPLATE
She all way be miss. With love
We need more TV shows like this
Love this interview with Whitney... I saw it when it aired back in the day!
Such a beautiful speaking voice too!
Childhood memories! So glad I grew up in this generation.
BDiaz my daughter said that my generation, Whitney’s generation had great music and she wished that she experienced that music era of the 80’s more so the 90’s.
BDiaz jealous 😕
I grew up in this generation too times have changed...
I wouldn't get that happy. You missed out on the 60s-70s
I love how she asks the interviewer questions, such a cool and confident woman.
damn, Whitney even has a beautiful sensual speaking voice. RIP beautiful one.
She is such a beautiful woman, very talented, smart and humble, you are truly missed Whitney Houston, RIP we love you here.
Oh Whitney...You were my childhood hero, and my heart is truly broken now that you're gone. You are the greatest vocalist I've ever heard, and I will always adore you!!!!
i love her voice.
shes so beautiful.
My baby...rip my queen of the nite....

Ughh I love this woman she's so gorgeous Lord she's bad and have a great personality and voice speaking and singing

Cranberry333 I don't think Whitney was hood at all. People want her to be hood.
@@derricknregina Nahhh she was hood lol.
It sounds as though she was annoyed by him trying to give Clive more credit than what he deserved... But she set him straight, it was her talent that kept the ball moving. Rest in peace...
Bobby and Whitney act sooo much alike. Go back and look at Bobby interview with Donnie Simpson and they act the same. Joking around and and everything
The true, relaxed, raw Whitney. Good to see this. Thank God for Cissy Houston, a warrior woman who always takes care of her baby girl! We need more mothers like her.
What a beauty.
Right before Bodyguard!
Those were the days. Donnie was a unique, kind and megafriendly character. Always classy and eloquent, I feel like he was a good role model for young people watching Video Soul. TV today is so full of trash. It's sad. Whitney was wonderful, as always.
her smile...
Robert DeNiro ran after Whitney. He could never catch her. She wasn’t having it.
WH has such a beautiful voice, then I mean her normal speeking voice.
We all know miss whitney has perfect diction (when she wanted to) but it's great to hear the interviewer "speak so good" too.
Whitney talked about keeping a good head on her shoulders. If she had, she might still be alive today.
Happy 56th Birthday in Heaven Nippy 💜💜💜
Sooo beautiful!
I had no idea she ever did a BET interview, ever. Shocking really, especially for 1991.
How is that shocking? She was a huge black artist and BET was a huge black enterpriese. Makes sense to me.
She was sooo beautiful
this interview was why we fell in love w/ her. I noticed that she didn't bring up bobby tho. lol
beautiful speaking voice
Anybody questioning whether Whitney Houston was black identified simply needs to watch this interview. She was down for her people.
RIP Whitney! You were a great Legend! From Nicole
2:33 THAT'S a reference to the duet with her And Aretha Franklin....go TH-cam it after this 😁😁😁
I miss these years.
Bring back the 1990s !!!
classic video! i graduated high school that year!
Iove me some Whitney...when she passed i felt like one of my family members had passed. Donnie Simpson is BAE
Wow! So much personality here. Fame. Celebrity.
tears ,,,love you whitney you are amazing,,,,,
She is such a joy to listen to ❤
Real lady
I love her so much
we miss you whitney houston
Love me some Whitney. And poor Donnie opened his mouth about the wrong
person and got beat up 🤦🏾♀️
That person was Legend Tupac Shakur 👑
Rip queen
GOD BLESS YOU CISSY FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL AND GREAT MOTHER TO YOUR CHILDREN, GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU FOREVER AS LONG AS YOU HAVE LIFE THAT THE LORD OUR SAVIOR HAS AND CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU, YOU WONDERFUL MOTHER. I HOPE TO SEE MORE OF THEM LIKE YOU! YOU ARE THE GREATEST, MOTHER CISSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@2:32 "it isn't, it wasn't, it ain't ever gonna be" the title of the song she did with Aretha Franklin
Kris Blake yes I don't think he caught that.
My favorite interview
Love you whitney houston r.i.p
Awe Whitney may she and Bobbi k continue on r.i.p.
Just love her
On the Oprah interview Whitney said they dated 3 years before marriage and Bobby said same in his book. Bobby was with Whitney at the 1989 premier of "Harlem Nights". There are pictures of him with her father.
They weren't serious at first, because Whitney is pictured on vacation with Randall Cunningham giving him a massage lol
WhitneyTheGreatest that's interesting because Whitney dated Randall in 1987, then Eddie Murphy in 1988!
No Whitney met Bobby in 1989, they didnt become serious until 1991. Bobby dated Janet Jackson, Madonna, and Karyn White before Whitney.
She is so adorable
I love that she was always pro-Black.
Donnie" I had read, that you were going to do a film with your lover Robert Deniro"
Lmao.
@MrChicago891 I know, I don't get why it's left off all the compilations. True, it wasn't as "instant" a song in terms of hooks. (It might be harder today for such a simply beautiful song to be a radio hit.) But it did in fact scale the top of the pop and R&B charts.
Whitney Houston knew Donnie talked shit about her behind her back. Awkward interview and Donnie knew she was on to him
Wait really? :O What'd he say?
Whitney definitely could sing they didn’t call her the voice for nothing
🎯
R.I.P.!!!
thought she was going to start singing"robert deniro is not my lover" to the tune of billy jean Lol
Whitney era tão linda e carismática e tinha esse sorriso cativante
She was wearing Bobby and Eddie ring on each hand
@Shandra Smith LOL. Why did she have to pick the ugly no good ones with the gap teeth? My girl ended up ruining her life
@@brokeaf4209 lol 😄😄😄
Her and Eddie ended their relationship in 1990 and in a interview whitney said they her and Bobby didn't start romantically dating in 1991
great interview, i remember it
Donnie Simpson looks like the kind of guy Whitney should have married - or John Singleton or somebody who was stable.
Wrong!!!!!
Some one who was stable? Bobby Brown was very stable when they met.
@@deepthoughts1739 no he was on drugs then bobby brown was a bad boy whitney like them bad boyz
Clive knows rare talent.
The "Bobby" that Whitney wanted was definitely not Robert De Niro...it was another Bobby..lol
👀 lol
Robert De Niro really wanted Whitney. They said it right.
I've noticed that Whitney Houston ALWAYS wore ONE earring and I think that was her style!
No she didn't, she wore 2, the cross one and a little one. You can't see it because it's very little.
No Whitney,ppl loved The Bodyguard!
@MrChicago891 I just checked out "Miracle" and I don't think it's "strange" at all that it's never played and not featured. It's not a catchy tune.

@babygurl59033 I was just saying how much of a radio voice this guy has. Thanks for the info LOL
Do you have Betty Wright's interview? I'm dying to watch this
Do you have the episode of Whitney's first interview on video soul?
Nice side stepping when talking about Clive Davis
What do you mean? Because he was her boss?
That Robert De Niro joke tho lmao
@MrChicago891 And it's such an amazing song.
thank u abba father
Hi is there a part 2?
I'm a show biz kid
This is when people use to go to the movies. WOW. Moving on UP. Synchronizing rules on girls for Safety. Following the money
"Just like to be like Michael huh? And you sit back and wait for the phone call" lol Was he talking about the beginning of 'Beat It'?
aGwEENapple 😯
Lol, I’m late but thought I’d answer anyways 🙂But earlier in the interview, he asked her who would she like to do a song with, and she mentioned Michael, however, Michael hadn’t reached out to her or called her on doing a song with together even though they had talked about it. So basically Donnie was making a joke and comparing her wanting to do a movie with Robert to her also waiting by the phone for Michael to call to do a song together.
@romeovision2006 yeah i know i just forwarded through that part was like damn thats kinda long, was she on the soundtrack or something lol
Where's the rest?
I know...haha. I couldn't decide if that remark was blissful ignorance or just Whitney's brand of humor!
Is the cameraman in love with Donnie Simpson? For the first 22secs you dont see Whitney lol
I'm a New Media Journalist and even though this was recorded way back in the day, that cameraman should've already cut away from Donnie, gone to Whitney, and then back to Donnie again haha. Dude was tired as hell that day lol.*
29Prolife - The cameraman points the camera where he's told. The director's in charge of who you're looking at at any given time.
Donnie hit it
she used to be a sweetie
She he "isn't, wasn't and ain't never gonna be" from 1989 with Aretha lol
That's where you're wrong! Whitney had been with Bobby since 1989. This show dated back in 1991. So, she was with Bobby during that time. A year later, they got married.
JVB2389 Yep and she's wearing that gaudy ring.
Whitney could sing but she knew it.
Yes. she was so humble Also, so down to earth.
