I saw Whitney perform in the late 90's and it was amazing. Probably one of the best shows I have or will ever see. Two and a half hours of pure talent and this was during the height of her drug use. I think she can come back, but she needs to really work on it.

@ArtfulSlinger: I find it interesting how she sort of skims over her participation in the emotional and physical abuse that took place. This does not seem like a woman who would have willingly walked into such a relationship and she appears to be aware of how wrong everything went down was.

TMZ recently caught up with Debra Wilson from MAD TV. She used to do a really great Whitney impression back in the day, and she spontaneously gave the paps a little show right there on the sidewalk. It was hilarious. She still does a great Whitney impression.

Okay, first of all, she was smoking crack. The rocks are clearly visible in the "Whitney's Drug Den" photos that ran in the Enquirer.

Second, when is this woman going to come out of the closet? (See: affairs with women during crack binges (Enquirer article), though I doubt the drugs made her do it.) That marriage to Bobby Brown was a sham gone bad. There have also been ongoing rumors (since the early 90's) of her having an affair with her longtime friend and personal assistant, Robin Crawford.

Hold up Whitney...you really want us to believe that Bobby was cracked out painting pictures of evil eyes on shit and beheading family portraits and you were just sitting there reading the Bible???

Heifer...I don't think so.

@amoureuse is a second class citizen: i think when you don't pay for it, and you get offered key bumps, it's a light drug. once you start paying for it, it's hard. speaking from experience.

My grams and I watched this whole thing this afternoon, and it was riveting. I loved it. She was self-effacing, humorous, more unguarded than I ever seen her (not high), and totally dignified while discussing alcoholism and drug abuse. I am fascinated with the way this is being played out, because as someone who has had abuse problems before, in a family pockmarked by this sort of thing, I have high respect for people who OWN IT the way Whitney is owning it. I know it took a long time, but it's great when you get to the other side and can be candid and just say fuck it, that was crazy, but nobody's judgment of me is gonna change my life and how I am, I made this change for the better for me and the people I love. She seemed totally insular to the things people say and think about her as a national icon, and I loved that because it showed that the Being Whitney Houston bit really wasn't a part of her way of thinking for a long time leading up to this. She is in control right now, and although I'm unsure about those teeth, I am happy for her, and excited about the rest of the damn interview! I hope the album sales like fucking gangbusters, Whitney!

I just wish she'd quit saying "marijuana" - poor marijuana....don't say such a lovely word in the same sentence as your damn rock cocaine / crack damnit!

I'm glad she is clean but she is but a shadow of her former self and its sad to watch - even when she's all dressed up and looking pretty. ugh

@Scout: Anyone - especially people who have reined in excessive drug use - who claims to have been "addicted to Marijuana" pushes legitimate legalisation debate backwards.

It's non-addictive, or at worst equal to, say, 'Chocolate addiction'.

Saying otherwise gives conservitards ammunition for their populous duping crap-cannons. *pew pew pew*

@J France: I'm not saying weed can't be great, but having been very addicted to it, smoking at least 20 spliffs each and every day for years...a comment like yours is quite hurtful. I had to leave my husband, becuase he could just not quit, and is paranoid and lazy, quite different from the person he once was. weed to me is like alcohol, enjoy in moderation - but that doesn't mean it can't be dangerous.

@Worth it in the End: I think that is more a matter of neither person in your relationship wanting to make a compromise, rather than any "addiction" to weed.

You wanted him to stop - he didn't want to - that was most likely the crux of the issue.

The way Oprah glances at the camera before she says "Yeah, I get it," in that last clip kind of weirds me out. Also I get the feeling that Whitney Houston would be a blast to hang out with for a little while.

Thanks for the videos, Tracie. Between this and the VMA liveblog and clips, I feel like I've seen all the major TV events this week so far without actually having to, you know, watch them. Yay!

Wow, I'm so glad I watched these. I really appreciate her honesty because I can see this really helping some people in abusive relationships. And that last clip? So telling. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for her to try to diminish herself to make him feel like more of a "man."

The first video explains the "crack is cheap" comment she made with Diane Sawyer a while ago. I feel SO bad for Bobbi Kristina though.

History Major

In reply to 10 Questions Whitney Houston Answered About Drugs & Bobby Brown
I think this interview should serve as a warning for all people who hold people to the public eye up to some higher standard they are JUST people. Princess Diana was a very beloved woman but she was also human and thus made the mistakes and suffered the travails that we all do. Michael Jackson another larger than life figure was not free of human mistakes. Even our beloved Teddy Kennedy was not without fault. The people in the public eye especially when they are entertainers and celebrities do represent a lot to us in terms of pop culture but we must remember they are people. I am a college student have I cheated once or twice? yes, have I had sex with men I shouldnt have some who were married, yes? Have I lied to my parents about the progress of my studies? yes. They believe me to be the perfect student and child but I am human and I make mistakes. I guess what I am saying is Whitney Houston is a human, and now that she has cleaned up her act a bit she is still human and can make many more mistakes and probably will. Let's not use this as a time to snipe at the tone of her interview or her behavior and remember that we are all humans and all subject to the same troubles.

@Sorcha: I prefer to do my Bible readings while drunk and staying at a hotel, right before having sex with my boyfriend and ordering room service. I don't know what it is about hotels that makes me want to read Genesis and giggle.
