A girl who was from the hood of Newark, created to be an American pop star. \u201cCan I be Me?\u201d was often a phrase she\u2019d use when becoming overwhelmed with the facade of who her label wanted her to be, rather than who she was authentically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuccess doesn\u2019t change you\u2026fame does,\u201d says Whitney during one of her many interviews where journalists would probe into her life and drug use.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney Houston, to family and friends was a free spirit, who enjoyed big laughs and was great at stepping into the facade of the icon we all have fallen in love with. Clive Davis, although not featured in the documentary discovered her, and knew first hand that not only would she be a huge star, but an artist he can groom and create into the Whitney, most fans and critics thought they knew.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Whitney-Houston-and-Bobby-Brown-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-54195\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 168'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Whitney-Houston-and-Bobby-Brown-1-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The filmmakers take us on a dark journey of a star falling from grace\u2014a tour in which her voice was fading, she was at the peak of dysfunction with her husband Bobby Brown\u2014another persona who embraced the title \u201cBad Boy\u201d yet, in this documentary, you discover these two were kindred spirits of the same pod\u2014with Bobby, she could be her true authentic self without pretenses. Yet, the conflict within their relationship, as shown on film were not just the intrusion of drugs, which were not introduced to her by Bobby Brown\u2014but the relationship with her best friend and only confidant, prior to her relationship with Bobby\u2014Robin Crawford.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/whitney-houston-robyn-crawford.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-medium wp-image-54119\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 237'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/whitney-houston-robyn-crawford-300x237.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fans and journalists often speculated about a possible love affair between Whitney and Robin, and while this question is never answered, the overbearing heaviness and weight of everyone\u2019s prying minds is evident. It seems to me, that Robin was her only confidant, a motley crew who she could also be her full and complete self. Robin was Whitney\u2019s protector, and it is evident in her support of the iconic singer throughout this film.<\/p>\n<p>The journey into a glimpse into Whitney\u2019s world, begins on the dreadful night in 2012, with a 911 call from a Beverly Hills Hotel employee, reporting that a woman was in a bathtub and not breathing. We all know what happened next\u2014Whitney Houston, at the age of 48 had died and everyone wondered how? Leaving behind her and Bobby\u2019s only daughter Bobbi Kristina, who met the same fate, just 3 short years later. Beyond tragic. It is the moment that young Bobbi Kristina makes an appearance on stage with Whitney, that the audience in the theater began to wipe tears, with a reality that both were gone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Whitney-Tribeca-2017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-97728\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 158'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Whitney-Tribeca-2017-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Candid and raw interviews including Whitney\u2019s long time international body guard, Bobby Brown\u2019s sister Tina Brown, Whitney\u2019s glam team and close friends all share insight on the star who needed a rescue.
