To begin, Bobby looked like Bobby. Yes, Yaya was on point as Whitney. But if it really started like that, good girl/bad boy fever... I find it hard to believe. Now don't get me wrong, Bobby as and asshole I believe. Thank you,
Deborah Cox on vocals. Yes! Love that! Needed a voice close enough to believe. They also had enough sex in this movie to take those scenes out to make the Bobby and Whitney Sextape. Yes, if technology was like it is now. They would have crushed Kim and Ray J!
The fact they didn't make Bobby the reason why she was on drugs, made it as if the story is really being told. So, many times I looked and thought it was the late and great Whitney Houston in several scenes. This was a spin though, Bobby not into drugs?? Hard to believe... then again.
**Oh! And Hilarious! Eddie Murphy wasn't interested in Whitney. Think about it.**
Bobby and Whitney having epic sex? Believable, had to be great sex for her to say he was the King of R&B! Really?
Damn, Whitney as a mack and Bobby feeling like the woman... hmm new twist. It's again, believable. Just because of how hard they went and once they took it to that next level. She loved hard, I could see that being her biggest fear. Whitney definitely seemed like the "if I'm loving you, we're going to stay in love" type. A lot like me, Whitney wasn't down with being embarrassed or the embarrassment. To add to the story that wasn't mentioned, was Bobby her rebound from her previous relationship she had with the then football star
Randall Cunningham?**Sparkle being her favorite movie and she ironically played the mother on the new version of the remake. Deep**
Now, Bobby being a player? Believable. Seeing Bobby as a good guy versus how the media portrayed him in that time, it's believable. Cissy in an interview with Oprah admitted to Whitney being exposed to drugs before Bobby. Whitney's brother confessed to being her dealer. Bobby got involved in his mess, but much like Whitney there is always a source the time problem.
Clive as the puppeteer... I believe. He hit an insecurity in Bobby. It made him the title of Mr.Whitney Houston, his ego couldn't handle. Love in that type of industry can be difficult. At a point a man has to be the assistant, to a situation he entered as her equal. Yes, I believe that's the point where any relationship takes it downhill for the worse.
**Now, no I've never done cocaine and I won't but if she was able to function like that until that one time we all remember and she couldn't hit that note?... not half bad.**
After watching the entire movie, the full circle was made. These two needed help and it seems like Whitney was willing to admit her wrongs. Again, being accountable and being an embarassment wasnt her thing, based off her relationship with her mother Cissy.
The entire story of their (Whitney and Bobby) destruction and Whitney's self-destruction that led to her own demise. I personally didn't need to see the Whitney I saw glempses of in tabloids of her and Bobby at their worst. This showed me, honestly my all time favorite singer as a human. She was placed on such a pedistal, we as her fans couldn't believe anything was wrong with her. She's Whitney and she fell in love.
"Sometimes you love someone so hard, you don't realize you're loving them wrong" -Bobby Brown. Much like Chris Brown, sometimes the one you love isn't the best for you. Sometimes that love can be what hurts you the most.
