When your mom is Whitney Houston and your dad Bobby Brown, naturally expectation is that you follow in their foot-steps. And follow, on her own accord, a young Bobbi-Kristina Brown looks set to do.
Long have we heard word that the 18 year old has been vocally-training (as a prelude to a full-on chart assault) and if her newly released cover of Adele‘s smash ‘Someone Like You’ is anything to go by, her hard work seems to have paid off.
Check out how she fared after the jump…
The Whitney comparisons are undoubtedly inevitable, with those expecting the the 2nd coming likely disappointed by the lack of vocal acrobatics. However, Ms. Brown doesn’t appear concerned with modelling herself as such – serving up instead a wholly enjoyable and commendable take on a great song. Her tone and control were particularly impressive.
Here’s hoping she’s afforded a fair chance
BETTER THAN WHAT WHITNEY IS DOING NOW!
ADELE IS REAL MUSIC.SOMEONE TO LOVE IS ALWAYS ON REPEAT.
uhm .. i didnt think she was that good actually.
THIS GIRL CAN TEACH THE VOCAL FLOP BIBLE TRANDY HOW TO SING.MY GIRL MONICA ALREADY TRIED IT AND TRANDY STILL DIDN’T LISTEN AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS.TRANDY SOUNDS LIKE A HOT ASS MESS AND SHE LOOKS LIKE A MAN.
LMAO
HOTMESS.COM
I can’t believe TGJ is tryna stand by this mess.
Wow that was impressive. I didnt know she could sing.
with a little vocal traning she could be a beast!
Bobby Brown sounds better then her!
That is standard pop group singing and her voice is kinda weak. All that and her gap tooth and butters features = FAiL
Sing it Girl! Sing It !
This gap-toothed b**** sounds a hot ass mess but she can still blow those two crack head parents of hers out of the water. Those F*** at ClassicWhitney would like this crap.
She sounds very good! I’m pleasantly surprised. Of course she’s no Whitney but she’s better than a lot of singers nowadays!!!
please how can anybody think THIS is a good cover, she doesn’t even know the lyrics properly
You don’t need to have a Whitney voice in full blast to be a good singer. At least she’s better than Jennifer Lopez, Miley Cyrus & Rihanna who have been having great success. I think with the right kind of music Bobbi Kris has great potential.
Not bad at all! Let’s hope she gets some real vocal lessons cos I see she’s definitely got talent.
Sounds good! Not Whitney but definitely makes the Houston family proud!!!
I like her voice!!!
it’s sung in acepalla so it won’t sound as powerful as adele’s version. but her voice is good!
NO. NO. NO. IM SORRY, B U T-H E L L-T O-T H E-N O ! ! ! ! ! ! !
SHE HAS A “NICE” TONE, BUT SHE DIDN’T HAVE ANY CONTROL! SHE SOUNDED FAIRLY OUT OF BREATH, AND SEEMED QUITE OFF PITCH!!! WHETHER OR NOT SHE WAS BEING SERIOUS (BECAUSE SHE WAS SITTING DOWN) IT JUST DIDN’T CUT IT FOR ME. AND THATS HONESTY AND MY PWERSONAL OPINION. THERE WAS NO SOUL EITHER!!!
SHE DEFINETELY ISN’T “EMPRESS WHITNEY”!!!
#SheKindaPrettyThough
HER ROOM IS A COMPLETE MESS!!!! B**** CLEAN IT UP FOR ONCE. DISGUSTING!!!! #FAIL… NEXT.
A little voice training and she can make it. Better than a lot of singers people stan for .ummm but I wouldn’t mention names. Quit impressed.
I see the ugly and fat people are in full hate mode today. R.I.P TO THOSE WE LOST ON 9/11
How can someone criticize someone based on her looks!!! Gap teeth or not, she’s a beautiful young lady who actually has some form of talent….unlike some who have none.
I applaud her effort but her voice (now) just isn’t strong enough to compete with singers today. But given that the singers who are popular in today’s world don’t even know how to hold a tune, Bobbi Christina actually has a chance. Her voice is good, not great but still pleasant to listen to.
I wish it was WHITNEY singing this instead. bobbi does have a good voice though.
Good job but please stop the cigarettes now cos I can already hear the beginning of roughness in your voice and breathe. Otherwise, you have a beautiful tone like your mom.
Tone is ok. I agree with the need to stop smoking…I can hear it already and with age it’ll get worse. She also needs to watch her face when she’s singing….it’s a bit distracting. Overall….ok.
Not great, Not Bad but much better than expected. The potential is there
That is not singing. It is pretty average.
@MONICASTAN
as much as I laughed @ your silly comment ..
I have to say this! .. who’s Monica?
ouch!
I agree that her voice was average at best and she was singing from her throat.
You were impressed by her tone and CONTROL? Did we watch the same video? It was karaoke at best. There are hundreds of youtube singers who can sing her under the table. Bobbi Kristina wouldn’t even make it on American Idol with her singing. There is nothing unique about her delivery or tone.
I could not get over how dirty her room was!
Like mother, daughter she can’t sing this song b/c she’s a smoker and her lungs can’t hold her notes.
Monica is the b**** thats been shitting on your nappy wig Mr. M…. stay mad!!
Bobbi K gives me Cissy meets Bobby teas….. a hot ass mess. Whitney’s supermodel features didn’t pass on nor did her immense vocal ability. Poor her.
I wasnt expectin her to be as good as early Whitney, but i was expectin her to be better than wat I saw. As someone else said, this is standard pop-girl-group singing. pretty average, but she can definitely sing, but if it wasn’t for the fact her mum is WHITNEY HOUSTON no1 would be checking for her, as in reality her voice really aint that good. she would be good in a girl group (albeit there would need to be someone else other than her on lead vocals). If your gonna cover an Adele song you need to come harder than that. There was ZERO emotion in her voice and overall the song just seemed to be too big for her. Oh well, wish her the best of luck 🙂

F*** ARE SO FAST TO BE NEGATIVE, AND U WONDER WHY U ARE BASHED EVERYDAY AROUND THE WORLD
I’m not easily moved by most vocalists only a few such as Celine Dion, Whitney. Forget the haters. She sounds AMAZING!
SHe will neva be a Whitney but she is alrite she have awesome points and she had points where theres work is needed bt overall i liked it and Adele is Amazing
That’s quite a gap between her teeth…
It was cool to me! Sounds better than a lot of people. She definitely is no Whitney, and that is cool. Even Whitney said it herself “there will never be another me!” Good luck with her career. We need more variety out here in the game.
@Mr. M do not come at Monica #thatisall
y do people assume thta she wants to be as good as whitney issh if thats the way u talk about strangers id hate to think how u judge people u do know u dnt always have to go HAM on people over nothing she s only doing a cover not proclaiming to be the next adele or whitney damme r ur lives that miserable
*SOMEONE LIKE YOU
BEAUTIFUL! GO BOOBI KRIS !
@Monicastan shut the f*** up. Damn fool. What does this have to do with brandy, dumbass. At that beyonce stan, how sure in a few years her voice will be more embellished with training and she’s whitney’s daughter! (hello) She’s still young like 14. She’ll get better. Stop you’re hatin cuz you stan for someone else that doesn’t know you exist. They arn’t helping with your life and I bet you cannot sing any better. People talking s*** are always the most insecure.

@IMMA HAVE TO..
YOU ARE A SICKI GARBAJ FAN.MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR FAVES COPYING THE QUEEN BEE INSTEAD OF WORRYING WHO I’M TALKING ABOUT.THIS IS A GROWN FOLKS CONVERSATION,NOT A LITTLE KID CONVERSATION,k 😉
Okay, I know this post has nothing to do with her, but look at the singer that y’all call “King Bey.” Her voice has grown TREMENDOUSLY since she was with Destiny’s Child. Just go listen to “The Writing’s on the Wall.”
That said, Bobbi Kristina does need some lessons. After that, she could potentially be a great singer. So don’t just bash her like she needed to be some great vocalist only because her mom is Whitney Houston. Some have it (Mariah Carey, Adele, Leona Lewis) and some have to had to work at it (see Beyonce).
Good day!
beautiful!

Bottom line:
1) She sings from her heart
2) Not one note was out of tune
3) She does have a great tone, definitely not the crystal-clear tone of her mother at the same age (Home @ Merv Griffin Show) but more like the raspy tone of Jazmine Sullivan
4) No she doesn’t have a powerful voice like Whitney but you don’t need to have a powerful voice like Whitney to be a good vocalist. And no one has even heard her sing a song that needs powerful vocals so who knows? Maybe she does have a powerful voice!
But Bobbi Kris needs to quit smoking (just like Adele and Whitney) before it starts to damage her voice.
TO BOBBI KRIS:
If you’re reading this right now, please post a video of you and your mom duetting!!!!! That would be amazing!!!! You do have a beautiful voice and like many Whitney fans, I’m pleasantly surprised!
BIG WHITNEY FAN
SHE SOUNDS GOOD
Not bad !!! I’ve always known that Bobbi Kris has good taste in music but never actually knew she has a good voice. of course she’s not even close to her mom but who else is?
her hair looks nice….I wonder if thats a wig or weave….her hair stylist needs a raise..cause damn he/she did a great job…
she looks like her dad, damn, her dad genes are strong as hell
oh yea…umm she sounds ok..well she sound better than the average singer out there..u know the ones who cant sing worth of s***?
The big problem is breath control. She’s gasping for air even between short phrases. QUIT SMOKING!!!
@Monicastan I just like nicki’s pic. I’m not obsessed with her. You, on the otherhand make it quite clear u have a disgusting obsession with monica. And if brandy can’t sing then I wonder what you sound like? Probably like two elephants screwing eachother, asshole. Btw, I’m 20. And grown folk’s conversation? The nerve of you. You uncouth piece of s***. I don’t know how grown someone can be when they troll on blogs acting like some 12 yr old with no life, like you.
Nice…
She just reminded me of what could go wrong with Bey & Jay ‘s baby
@IMMA HAVE TO…
GURL,WHEN DID I SAY I HAD AN OBSESSION WITH MONICA???AND IF I DON’T LIKE TRANDY’S VOICE SO WHAT!IT’S NOT THE END OF THE DAY,DAMN YOU ACT LIKE A PRESSED TRANDY STAN 😕 ACTING LIKE I SLEPT WITH YOUR MAN.AND FOR A 20 YEAR OLD YOU ARE TOO OLD TO BE STANNING FOR SICKI GARBAJ!
ummm what video are you guys talking about, because the one i just watched with bobbi-kristina singing… it was awful
@Monica And you act like you need to make a world public annoucement the way you type in caps. It’s not that serious but I’m pretty sure brandy’s feces will be worth my than your birth and death certificate combined. Nicki’s music is not meant for kids anyway. They only like her cuz she talks in funny voices. And you’re an idiot. Nicki’s fan started in the hood that were at least 18 to 20+ moron. She just recently gained kid fans. And you’re immature and pretty ignorant (unironically) to think music esp rap and hiphop has an age limit. You’re done. Well, at least I’m done talking to you, u uneducated imbecile.
I liked it, she should have known the lyrics though.

“monicastan” LMAO. You use ur fave to bash another artist then act like you’re not obsessed yeah right. Tell that to someone with your intelligence. And of course anyone would have children fans when their music is mainstream. Nicki and anyone else. Where are your statistics that only kids like nicki? Cuz I have a bunch of friends my age and older that like nicki and kim.
@IMMA HAVE TO….
GIRL,YOU ARE DONE AND YOU ARE DELUSIONAL.
DID U EXPECT ME TO CARE !
Bobbi stated on her twitter that she wasn’t giving her all, just bored with nothing else to do. Can’t wait to see the final product of Whintey’s BABY! 🙂
I DON’T USE MY FAVE TO BASH ANYONE.TRANDY’S MUSIC SUCKS REGARDLESS OF IF MONICA IS MY FAVE OR NOT. ALL I SAID WAS THAT QUEEN MONICA TRIED TO TEACH MISS VOCAL FLOP BIBLE HOW TO SING AND THEN YOUR “20 YEAR OLD” SICKI GARBAJ STANNING B*** TRIED TO POP OFF IN MY @S.KEEP MY NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH AND KEEP IT CUTE BOOBOO.,TRANDY WOULD NEVER BE MORE THAN ANYTHING I’M WORTH SO TAKE A SEAT.
LTFO! (LaughTheFuckOff!). I thought I would not be pleasantly surprised but Im afraid I was wrong. I did not hear in her vocals that she is the daughter of not one but two star singers. One being or was a superstar singer. Maybe she is an imposter. Plus, she looks like the daughter of Bobby Brown in the teeth department. Heh.
she sounds good..i picture her in the game.
This was a little bit of a let down. She wasn’t awful, but not quite in her mother’s league at the moment. I will say this, some voices need time to mature and develop. Bobbi’s still very young and if she works at it she may improve a lot more. I’m glad she seems to take a liking to other gifted vocalist (such as Adele). Their influence will definitely steer her on the right track.
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.b*******.com
I think she did a nice job. I just think her being Whitneys daughter you are expecting her to have “the voice” as well.
gosh, people, what the hell is wrong with you? are you that disappointed bout your own life, that you have to bring a young girl down?! that girl is trying to live her dream, or just to do what she is wanting to. let her be….
damn, don’t know why those f****** bloggers always try to bring someone down and hate on them…
live your own life the best you can – that’s all you should focus on!

Good job Little Whitney. Keep working hard at it you’re on the way to greatness. You’re a beautiful young lady and don’t let anyone tell you different. That’s a hard song to sing and you did nailed it. People that’s saying ignorant things, they can not sing it!
She has a voice there… she sounded good. not great. but GOOD. i can tell with more vocal training she’ll be where she wants to be! i was suprised! she sounded good! so everybody on here needs to stop over exaggerating..
SINGERS do not have to sound like Beyonce or Whitney they can have a beautiful tone and nice resonance.. ppl like to associate the word singer with SCREAMS AND RELENTLESS BELTING …
ummmmmm lol. no.
@reall: your say good job for it .but your looks angry not happy hahahahaha look yourself.
She definitely has a voice, she sounded real good but she def needs to stay in touch with a vocal trainer but she has a little something something.
Whitney>>>OBESEdele 😉
She has a Nice Soft husky yet rounded voice but at the same time its borderline TYPICAL/AVG which is perfect for nailing a adele song. 😉

How can anyone criticize her? This is perfect! Her tone and control are all there, she’s not taking it for granted that she comes from 2 of Pop’s most gifted vocalists she delivered. Her tone is beautiful. If she was up there trying to belt and wailing you all would still criticize! Go Bobby-Chris, let God lead you and hear what He has to say…

She sounds OK, but she’s got a lot of work to do with her vocal coach if she wants to live her dream. She can do it, but no smoking!
wow, i’m impressed, i think that she is only going to get better. Yess Bobbi Chris, do your thing!
Adele is amazing and so is her voice.
She sounded good. She put her own spin on it. She does have a nice tone. A lil more fine tuning and she’d be good to go.
@ Monicastann B**** WILL YOU SHUT UP YOUR FAVE IS BOOOORING !
since its my day off..and its obvious its going to be a slow day….rolling eyes i need to get a life…
but i digress
Am I the only one that thinks music is getting boring as hell…?
what happened to the days when REAL MUSIC used to dominate tthe charts..
everything on the radio sounds the same…
can we bring back R&B music? rock, reggae?
She was good. She should get a vocal coach and she might improve.
@JAMIR21
THIS IS A GROWN FOLKS CONVERSATION.YOU ARE 13 YEARS OLD.STAY OUT OF GROWN FOLKS BUSINESS.TRANDY SUCKS.GET USED TO IT.QUEEN MONICA’S MUSIC ISN’T SUPPOSED TO BE MADE FOR TEENYBOPPERS LIKE YOU
That entire video was a hot ass mess. I just can’t between the long ass weave and the gap in her teeth it was already messy enough but then she couldn’t even remember the words to the song. Her singing was off and if she seriously wants to become a singer she is going to need a vocal coach and a LOT of autotune #NEXT
Bobby, gurl……don’t do it.
Poor thing, she looks just like her damn Daddy! Its like they took his face and put it on on her body. She really needs to get her gapped fix, that would be some improvement! She can’t help that she took after him though so I will leave her alone.
Anywho, she actually sounded pretty good! Of course it wasn’t as good as Adele, but it was much better than I expected! It’s obvious she didn’t inherit her mother’s vocal ability but this was a good effort. Plus she is young so with age and some vocal training she could improve.
It’s natural for her to have a interest in music & singing because of her parents but it doesn’t neccessarily mean she wants a career in singing. Who knows maybe she was just bored playing in her room and wanted to record herself singing a song. I guess time will tell if she wants to make singing her career choice. I just hope she gets a fair shot and doesn’t get too much criticism because of her parents.
Cringing……………………………No!
Impressive what! thats hurt, i can’t even listen OMG now i know why this site is comparing legendary singers to new pop stars, i’m sorry honey you don’t have the voice of your mother, TGJ is impressive with this voice girl, thats why you put Beyonce in the same level of Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, because Beyonce has a good voice not impressive but her voice is ok, you think she is the best singer of all times umm… now i know.
She did a good job and this was acappella. with music surrounding her, it would have sounded even better. She was singing through a computer speaker, come on people. Keep at it Krissi
@Pop Royalty, thats you
It sounded and looked as if she was giving it her all, she had to put forth a lot of effort to render this average at best vocal showing. If these are post vocal training results than I am concerned about obvious control weaknesses. To suggest that vocal acrobatics is the only thing that seperates her from Whitney in her prime is very insulting to Whitney and ignores Whitney’s superior tone, control, power, and overall vocal ability at that time. I hope Bobbi can benefit from further vocal training but if not based on today’s standards with the right music she could blend in among the group of pop females occupying the lower tier of vocal ability yet still having varied levels of success.
It’s such a disservice to her to compare her to her mom. she is her own person doing her own thing. Such high standards to live up to from her mom to her grandmom to dionne warwick. I’m sure she knows. She’s only 18, that’s a lot of pressure for a kid. She did a fine job acapella. I wouldn’t judge her on this performance. I’d say from watching she has presence and potential. She sounded good and slays the kids on Disney. That’s a start.
What the hell was in that pill bottle in her purse???
sorry she sounded ok but her mother takes the cake
i think she is sending a msg to someone… bf or something
if it was back in the day…. whitney could have KILLED this but boby soundes ok nothing special even i could sing like her
I cant believe dis s*** im witnessing/ wttf
Truth will be revealed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyFOy9j56ho&feature=related
Is she missing a tooth?
Most of the people who posted negative comments could NOT reproduce Bobbi’s vocals (let alone Whitney’s) so just shut up!
Why in the hell didn’t her parents get her braces? Out of place teeth gets worth with age… The girl sounded OK but I could only stare at her gap. That gap truly is a show stealer.
It seemed as though she wasn’t trying to utilize lots of power. This was a much simplier version. She can work out a few kinks. But she atleast has something.
Stay in your bedroom baby girl because as the mother told Sissy
Spacek in the movie “Carrie”, “Their all gonna laugh at you”.
I’m not expecting a Whitney voice but she clearly is an average singer. her vibrato is average, her intonation is average, everything is average.
Maybe she needs to stop drinking, smoking cigarettes and weed and snorting coke for a while and concentrate on vocal training.
JOIN THE NEW QUEEN BEE LIL KIM FORUM ON DECK—-> http://z13.invisionfree.com/Team_Lil_Kim_Gang/index.php?act=idx
well if everythng she has is average and she was just playing around then she is off to a good start because alot of junk on the radio now is below average with protools and auto tune. She sounds decent. she needs to focus, get with a good vocal coach and build up a fan base throuch social media. Get a manager.
That girl was pooh.com. She’s 18. She should sound better than that if she can really sing.
really? you thought that was good? karaoke if anything…not good, sorry.
She’s ugly.
@yousay gur please! she don’t sound better than rhi or JLO.but she possibly could with training, because I don’t think she was horrible but she definitely wasn’t great.she needs lessons and ……braces?
yes, she sounds better than rihanna, jlo, britney spears and kesha. post rihanna singing acapellla with no studiovtricks!
krissi sounds good. I’ve never heard rihanna riff or do vocal runs. she does ooh nan nah and that nasal ish!
Look, the little b**** is average at best. Compare krissi’s a capella against charice who is just 1 yr older. NOTE the huge difference in diction, lack of rasp, control, and range. Krissi isnt there yet but with tons of work she *could* get to a pro’s level. Yea, her breathing is terrible. She needs to put down the Newports and drinking. She’s shy as f*** too! That doesnt bold well for confidence which affects a person’s willingness to sing at full range (if she has any). Right now, Krissi is worse than the pro youtube singers who cant get a record deal. If she wasnt Whitney’s daughter, no one would give 2 shits or a f***. She doesnt have natural talent like her mom; this kid needs to work 24-7 to sound half-decent. No soul, passion, or emotion right now. Get over that damn shyness, you little twat. That’s half the battle. Oh yea, get the f****** lyrics right before you sing in front of millions online, geeez. Yall know it!!!
WOW … the tone of her voice is beautiful & she has really good control over her voice … very nice Bobbi Kris & my GOD she looks just like her damn daddy!!! 🙂
@truth teller
Uh no she doesn’t,rhianna,britney,JLO and yes even kesha have a unique sound to their voices,kris just sounds like she’s going through the motions,there is nothing special about it.well I nix kesha and new brit because their unique sound has been autotune at least this year and last.but early brit was better than this.
please someone fix her gap tooth
There is a 50 year old b**** who spends her days defending this a damn crackhead and her gap-toothed little b**** of a daughter. That 50 year old Italian b**** needs to go suck off the Arab f***** that runs a Whitney Houston fan site, just sayin…….
Hi there, I find that your situation is rather perceptive since it highlights a lot of accurate data. By the way, was considering regardless of whether you’d love to interchange world-wide-web links with my web portal, as I am searching to generate contacts to further spear issue and obtain ground for my net space. I do not mind you laying my net links at the residence page, just approving this links on this specific article is over enough. Furthermore, would you be kind enough contact me at my world-wide-web space in case you are keen from the link exchange, I would quite like that. Greatest wishes from me and hope to hear from you shortly!
