WHITNEY I MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY CRACK TV

HoustonвЂ™s fans probably already know as much about the story as they want to, so itвЂ™s not entirely clear who the film is aiming at, especially since itвЂ™s somewhat frugal with show-stopping performance footage (the best bits are Whitney singing the National Anthem at the Superbowl and performing for Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg in 1994). We do get WhitneyвЂ™s hairdresser though, who insists that the star was energetically heterosexual. However, beyond presenting the fact, the film doesnвЂ™t draw any particular conclusions from it or link it to coverage of her possibly lesbian relationship with close friend Robyn Crawford (who isnвЂ™t interviewed). He doesnвЂ™t mention how Houston was axed from the 2000 Academy Awards show because she couldnвЂ™t remember what she was supposed to sing, but he does have one major bombshell to deliver, which is the revelation that Whitney was sexually abused as a child by her cousin Dee Dee Warwick, DionneвЂ™s sister.

Macdonald has included extracts from the notorious TV interview with Diane Sawyer in which she admits to taking most of the illegal drugs known to mankind, while pointing out rather haughtily that вЂњcrack is cheap вЂ“ I make too much money to ever smoke crackвЂќ.

Whitney Houston said 'I make too much money to ever smoke crack.' What do you make too much money to do 5 comments. What makes the Houston story particularly depressing is the gulf between her irresistible young self, fizzing with energy, cheekiness and humour and with the world delighted to prostrate itself at her feet, and the stumbling and emaciated shadow of herself that she became.

Brown also makes an appearance, but refuses to discuss drug abuse (prompting the unseen interviewer, which sounds like Macdonald himself, to comment that this might render the interview somewhat pointless). Meanwhile WhitneyвЂ™s father John is depicted as a hustling exploiter who wanted to control WhitneyвЂ™s career, and who, having helped himself to his daughterвЂ™s money, sued her for $100m in 2002 (he lost).

Her brother Michael has spoken before about how he introduced his sister to drugs, and he does so again here, adding for good measure that Bobby Brown was a mere lightweight in the drug abuse stakes compared to himself and his brother Gary. Despite WhitneyвЂ™s continued devotion to her family, they look much more like a ball and chain than a blessing. ThereвЂ™s also an вЂњI-taught-her-everything-she-knewвЂќ vibe about Cissy which suggests that she never got over the fact that she didnвЂ™t achieve anything like the hallowed status of her daughter. ItвЂ™s true that this time WhitneyвЂ™s mother Cissy is interviewed, though she talks about the young Whitney (or Nippy, as she was always known within the family) with a great future ahead of her rather than delving into the murky depths of her marriage to Bobby Brown (pictured below) and its accompanying descent into booze-and- drugs purgatory. In fact a couple of BroomfieldвЂ™s interviewees who donвЂ™t appear here were more illuminating than some who do.
