Whitney Houston
Lifetime is on a strange string commissioning
biopics on R&B singers in acts that do not bode well for names of
the subjects of the movies. First Aaliyah, now Whitney Houston. It
was announced that not only will Lifetime be doing an Aaliyah biopic
titled "Aaliyah Princess of R&B" they are making a film on Whitney
Houston's life as well. Hmm wonder where they got that idea from.

Whitney's family, particularly her daughter, Bobbi
Kristina Brown, is furious. Brown stated she and her mom thought she
should play Houston in a film. Houston's family believes her life is
deserving of a theatrical release, not a cable TV film. Looking at
preproduction items released online, the casting for the Houston
biopic is even worse than the work being done on the unauthorized
movie on the life of the late singer Aaliyah. Actress Yaya DaCosta
has been cast to play Houston and Yolondo Ross has been given the
part of Houston's ex-girlfriend, Robyn Crawford.

Lifetime is not doing Houston or Aaliyah any justice
with these cheesy, subpar films being made by people who do not
truly know or understand their stories. They are not going to do a
good job on these films. It will dishonor their legacies and
memories. You shouldn't mess with people's lives like that.
