I so wish I had cable, no bf to irritate - just me, but I can't see any of this stuff!
I found this interview, it has beautiful young Whitney photos and her singing for a few seconds with Cissy. I now see why WH was upset at losing the high notes and thought she should get them back. I will look up Cissy after I find the rest of this interview with Barbara Walters. WH clearly hated the media, even here. I guess that is a huge sacrifice for someone that goes into the business yet likes to be private, privacy does not happen there.

Cissy did have a beautiful voice! They showed her on the E! and said that when Whitney was five she went with Cissy when she toured with Elvis!
ETA: They did talk about the CD show, one of the reporters said that it was very strange. I guess before singing a song Tony Bennett said that he thought drugs should be legalized. Weird.
I don't know how celebrities do it. All that attention would be horrible, I didn't know she had had a miscarriage. Such a difficult thing to deal with and then to see it reported in the media? Horrible.
There is a scene in The Bodyguard where she tells Costner that she has a reputation for being a b1tch, that she thought that you hear that about yourself and then that is what you become. Costner's character says no, that is not the case, you have a choice. Not saying that that is what happened with Whitney because her reputation with drugs was based on her behavior, but still, it just made me think...
Whitney was thrashed in comic sketches too. Maybe it wasn't just that she was famous but that her image was so different from how she ended up. Whatever it was, addicts can't stay high all the time and I would think that kind of thing could intensify the shame they all feel. I wish some addicts didn't have such a low, low bottom.
In the E! show they mentioned that on the Wednesday before she died she became very upset after seeing an article in the Enquirer that she saw in the hotel gift shop.
