Watch: Whitney Houston Talks With Entertainment Tonight

Published: Monday 7th Nov 2011 by Rashad

‘The Voice’ Whitney Houston took to Entertainment Tonight moments ago to share the latest news on her forthcoming movie production ‘Sparkle’ – a remake of the famed 1976 musical.  Boasting an all star cast (Cee-Lo Green, Jordin Sparks) and R. Kelly manning the soundtrack production, the film looks to be a knockout!

Her first televised interview in quite some time, the ‘I Look To You’ belter looked stunning (to say the least) in tonight’s Entertainment Tonight exclusive.

Your view awaits after the jump:


With the film being hailed as Whitney’s “comeback” to the big screen (her first starring role in over a decade), fans and critics alike are anxious to find out if she can deliver.  Certainly no stranger to criticisms, the last two years of her return to the spotlight have been greeted with mixed reviews – most of which have been lukewarm.  And, with Jordin being cast to play a part originally promised to late R&B starlet Aaliyah, she too has been met with naysayers and will have quite the burden to prove herself.

Here’s hoping this film, as well as Houston’s next reported cinematic venture “Getting To Happy” (‘Waiting To Exhale’ pt 2), helps the iconic songstress reaffirm her oft-praised position.

Fans should expect ‘Sparkle’ in theaters in the coming months.

    CRACKney sounds like SHITE these days 😉

  2. Kerry Johnson November 7, 2011

    Rihanna is the goddess of music

  3. JUDAS666 November 7, 2011

    SOOOO SAD…. her singing voice is completely GONE!!!! She needs to lose weight. At least 15 lbs. Her speaking voice is trash. Jordin Sparks sings better than her these days. Wish she pay attention more to working out more on a stricter regimen. The acting clips look comical – very Tyler Perry like which is NOT a good thing. As usual an Akil production will be critically panned. I don’t see this getting above 60% from Rottentomatoes.com when this s*** comes out. SMH, the short outtakes look colorfully comical. UGHHH….

  4. Kerry Johnson November 7, 2011

    Whitney and Rihanna should do a duet!!!!!!!!

  5. troy November 7, 2011

  7. Jessica November 7, 2011

    oh lawd, can’t you trolls can’t EVER SHUT UP??!!!! LOOK NO ONE GIVES A F*** ABOUT RHIANNA KERRY!!! THIS IS A WHITNEY HOUSTON POST MORON!!!!!
    @THE ICONIC LACEFRONCE: THE ONLY PERSON WHO LOOKS LIKE CRACK IS YOU WITH THAT WACK ASS PICTURE WITH THE WACK ASS WEAVE. NEXT!!!! YOU LOOK LIKE A CHEAP IMITATION OF AN SINGER, GTFOH!!!!

    Anyways, glad to see Whitney is doing well and getting back to what she loves, music and acting. I will definitely will see this movie and the sequel of Waiting To Exhale- Get Happy when that drops. Congrats Whitney.

  9. Nanci November 7, 2011

    KERRY JOHNSON

    i hope Whitney next album slays all!

  15. BC November 7, 2011

    @Kerry
    LMO so is that wat yall say now. Rihanna is gonna have 2 do a lot more before she reaches their level.
    as of now Bey,Britney,Usher r closer

  16. BC November 7, 2011

    and Lady Gaga has more popularity appear talent and better album sales than Riri. do yo research.
    5.5 million is not that great

  17. Educator November 7, 2011

    We are never the same at 25 vs almost 50 years old. Lets all be positive and wish the best for Whitney with her new movie – Sparkle. Why everyone needs to be skinny to be successful. Mash down that MYTH. Whitney you look WONDERFUL
    All the best to Whitney from from the sunny and warm island of Jamaica. WH – Love you always.

  18. JUDAS666 November 7, 2011

    @Kerry Johnson

    Whitney and Rihanna duet????? Fo realz???? Methinks NOT! I will say this about Whit Whit —-> she doesn’t do AUTO-TUNE. Guess Rihanna will have to duet with Beyonce, F******, Lady Caca, and other lip syncers and lip dancers.

  19. BC November 7, 2011

    haha ikr!
    like thats even worst than Justin and Mariah doing a song. it just makes no sense.

  20. STANNSFORWHITNEYHOUSTON November 7, 2011

    Haters #STAY MAD….Nippy aínt going no where ..DEAL!!…So glad to see the wheels for Queen Whitney’s project is in motion. This the same person that broke records left, right and centre with her ICONIC movie The Bodyguard which is regarded as the VOCAL BIBLE even til now. Looking Vibrant, sounding great..such a feat for such an amazing being. So proud to be a Whitney fan #GREATESTOFALL-TIME

  21. STANNSFORWHITNEYHOUSTON November 7, 2011

    Whitney + Rihanna duet = atrocious. #HELLNAWW

  22. Boopi November 7, 2011

    It is so DISGUSTING to me how Black people don’t support their legends. It’s a disgrace. Groups like Sting or Areosmith, or whatever, could announce that they are going on tour today, and all the tickets would be sold out by tomorrow. Not just by nostalgic 40 or 50 something year olds buying up the tickets, but by people our age as well buying tickets because white people respect their legends. We as a people got to do better.

    GOD BLESS YOU WHITNEY HOUSTON!

  23. Theman November 7, 2011

    Whitney is getting money. She helped executive produce this movie. She has a huge following. I know that she’ll be successful. She sounded good in the singing parts as well. No amount of #1s will ever have Rihanna next to such greatness as Mariah,Whitney & Madonna. They have classics, and while Rihanna has fun catchy music hers simply do not measure up. Beyonce,Usher & Gaga are all extremely successful but not to the level that Mariah,Whitney & Madonna are.

  24. nicegirl November 7, 2011

    Hope her singing voice is better. I wish the best for her.

  25. James November 8, 2011

    Whitney sounds like she has breathing problems. I still think she is awesome though. She sounds good on that clip. In her prime she was WAY better than Beyonce or any other artist like that. Only a few singers like Mariah and Deborah C** come CLOSE to being anywhere near Whitney’s league.

    Sounds like TSan (banned member from Classic Whitney/XCal86 on Twitter. This guy is stalks and is obsessed with Whitney, and he has no life either. B**** get real

    Whitney sounded damn good. We have to accept that her tone is lower now, but she still sounds good in that lower tone. Her weight is fine.

  28. rob November 8, 2011

    whitneys voice has come leaps n bounds , so the tone is lower , shes older she wont sound like a 20 year old woman anymore , we have to accept that , it will happen to beyonce , usher even rihanna

    You obsessed b**** banned from Classic Whitney umpteen times and still come back with the same s***. Your signature (SMH) tells you identity each time. Like I said, get a life you lonely, pressed, obsessed, sad hispanic c***

  32. Kimberly November 8, 2011

    To everyone making excuses for Whitney stfu, growing older have nothing to do with your voice. aretha franklin, anita baker, ceine deon, they all still have great voices. the crack and smoking have her in that state. it is sad she cannot do it anymore as well as mariah.
    We all like whitney songs abut why would i pay to see her live when she will not be able to deliver? that have nothing to do with respecting our icons. get that right.

  33. skintightjeans November 8, 2011

    I love Whitney so much! She’s such a diva!

  34. Casual November 8, 2011

    Whitney looks and sounds great. Her voice sounds in good form, and it sounds like she’s now singing in a slightly lower key, but her voice sounds strong and clear.

    Go Whitney!

  35. Bnorwood November 8, 2011

    Whitney speaking voice sounds good. This is how Whitney sounds, I don’t know what some people are talking about. I will wait until the movie to judge her singing voice. But she sounds good, I’m not concern about her weight. She is playing a mother so weight is fine. Whitney looks good as well, this is a good time for her let her shine.

    In all Seriousness:
    Dear Heavenly Father Please Give Whitney Back her voice .. the voice you created for her was phenomenal. Please Dear God with a word from you please let her voice be restored … in Jesus Name Amen

  37. sammy November 8, 2011

    Whitney sounded good singing His eye is on the sparrow. Her voice sounded more like it did in the late 90’s…Happy to see her back to work and happy.

  38. Legend Kelendria Rowland November 8, 2011

  41. Paulie DeStar November 9, 2011

    OH MY GOD…. Are y’all being serious? Now I know you are NOT comparing Rihanna to The LEGEND that is Whitney Houston? I have word for y’all that Rihanna is NEVER and WILL NEVER be or even come close to how AMAZING Whitney is….. even if Whitney croaked all of her songs she would still be better than RiRi, y’all just mad cause Whitney is coming back to SLAY!

    UGH all you Rihanna stans need to get a life and see that little jumped up ho for what she is, a little p**** tease with no talent whatsoever….
