Whitney Houston was born on August 9, 1963, in a more chaotic neighborhood of Newark, USA.

Her father was a municipal worker who drove taxis part-time, her mother was a gospel singer who was the breadwinner of the family, and Whitney was the youngest child in the family and was pampered from an early age.

Whitney Houston as a child

Because her mother worked as a music director at a local church, Whitney often went to church with her mother to sing when she was a child, and with the musical talent inherited from her mother, she began to be a church soloist at the age of 11.

At the age of 14, she began to participate in various performances with her mother, including singing in nightclubs, and she also served as the lead singer of the band, which was a good temper for her.

Her mother hoped that Whitney would grow into a lady, but in fact, Whitney had some rebellion in her bones and was more self-sufficient, which had a great impact on her later life.

When I was 18 years old, one day Whitney and her mother were walking down the street, and suddenly someone came up to him and asked Whitney if he wanted to be a model? Whitney didn't really want to, she didn't like to listen to other people and play in various poses.

Whitney wanted to release an album, and several record companies had talked to her at the time, but they were all rejected by her mother, who felt that those companies were not qualified and wanted to wait for better cooperation opportunities.

So despite not liking it, Whitney went to work as a model first, and did a good job, went to a lot of magazines, and finally got the opportunity to appear on TV shows.

In 1983, at the age of 20, Whitney and her mother sang in nightclubs to make a living, and Whitney sang intently on stage, she did not expect that there was a person on the stage who listened to her songs and was deeply moved, and this person was about to change her future.

That person was Clive Davis, president of Arista Records, and in order to sign Whitney, Clive also introduced various performance opportunities to Whitney's mother, which was really imperative.

Whitney was happiest to be able to sign with Clive.

But Clive didn't make Whitney debut right away, but spent $200,000 and two years helping Whitney make a makeover, crafting a stylistic route from appearance to singing.

The future queen of heaven is on the road to cultivation.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02. The first album was a hit on the charts, despite the opposition of his family</h1>

On Valentine's Day, February 14, 1985, Whitney's debut solo album finally arrived.

The album was named after Whitney Houston, Arista spent a lot of money, publicity and promotion all over the United States, the album was heard every day on major radio stations, and her MV was repeatedly broadcast on television.

Overnight, Whitney became a household name in the United States, with three songs from the album topping the music charts, and the following year, Whitney won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocalist.

This is a miracle for a singer who has just released his first album.

In 1987, Arista took advantage of the hot attack and released a second album for Whitney, "Whitney", this time, Whitney occupied the top of the chart for seven consecutive weeks, breaking the Beatles' record of six consecutive weeks of chart topping.

Whitney became popular and became the most award-winning female singer in the United States. According to media statistics, Whitney's music awards in this life are the most awarded female singer holders in the Guinness Book of Records.

She has won 6 Grammy Awards, 21 Emmy Awards, 15 National Billboard Music Awards, etc., and has won 415 awards and nominated 562 times in her lifetime.

Her albums have sold more than 180 million copies worldwide.

If it weren't for the unladylike encounter, marrying Bobby Brown, Whitney would certainly have achieved more miracles and achievements in this life.

Whitney's tragedy begins with meeting Bobby Brown.

Bobby Brown, who was born on February 5, 1969 in Boston, USA, is also a singer, but his grades are far inferior to Whitney's, and not only that, Bobby has many bad hobbies.

Whitney and Bobby

Whitney is a favorite star of Americans, but Bobby is not, Bobby's private life is chaotic, often stealing, and causing trouble, arrested and imprisoned, and most importantly, he has lost all the money he earned on drugs.

Whitney's mother and friends tried to dissuade Whitney from staying with Bobby, but Whitney was particularly stubborn in his bones, did not listen to the advice of others, and insisted on marrying Bobby.

Whitney insisted on marrying Bobby

On July 18, 1992, Whitney and Bobby held a very luxurious wedding in New Jersey, inviting more than 800 guests and many celebrities to congratulate them, all of whom came to Whitney's face without exception.

And Whitney's life is like a roller coaster, and soon it will begin to decline because of unladylike encounters.

For Whitney in 1992, in addition to the big thing of marriage, she reached another peak in her career. At the end of that year, the film The Bodyguard, co-starring Whitney and Kevin Costner, was released.

Whitney starred in the film, playing a popular female singer who collided with her bodyguard and had a touching love affair.

The Bodyguard

The film not only grossed $410 million, but also ranked second in the global box office list that year, with the first place being Disney's "Aladdin".

The album of the film's soundtracks, sung by Whitney, sold an astonishing 45 million copies worldwide, and the theme song "I Will Always Love You" topped the Billboard Singles Chart for 14 consecutive weeks.

Whitney won three Grammy awards for this.

In fact, Whitney did not want to star in the film at first, but the actor Kevin Costner thought Whitney was the best actress candidate, and he tried to convince Whitney.

On March 4, 1993, Bobby Christina, the daughter of Whitney and Bobby Brown, was born.

Bobby's bad habits began to show their original form, he began to cause all kinds of trouble, alcohol and drug addiction, arrest and imprisonment, Whitney always cleaned up the mess for him in the back to wipe his ass.

It takes money to buy drugs, and Bobby wants Whitney to pay for it, and the best way to do that is to get her to smoke it with her. Initially, Whitney had been advising Bobby not to touch it, but then she was seduced by Bobby.

Bobby lures Whitney into drug use

Whitney admitted it when she was on Oprah's show in 2009, saying that sometimes she stayed home with Bobby for a week doing nothing, just taking drugs and watching TV.

Not only that, But Bobby also had domestic violence, and Whitney had to call the police because of Bobby's domestic violence.

Whitney

In 1995, Whitney also starred in two films, "Until You Wake Up" and "Angel Bodyguard." However, the quality and sales of the albums released were not as good as before, and she was not in a good state.

In 2000, the Whitneys traveled to Hawaii, and while they were leaving, airport staff searched for marijuana on Whitney' body, and word of Whitney's drug use plummeted.

And that was just the beginning, and then instead of saving his public image in time, Whitney continued to take drugs with Bobby, and scandals about the couple's violence and drug use were often in the news.

Whitney and Bobby squandered all the money they earned on drugs, and sold a number of real estate and mansions. It is said that later, Whitney did not even have $100 and ran to borrow money from friends to get by.

Whitney's father had sued his daughter for owing him a commission on cooperation, and had not been able to get the money until his death, both of which were squandered by Whitney and Bobby.

The biggest influence is their daughter Christina, who witnessed her parents taking drugs and did not have a normal childhood life, became very rebellious, and once committed aggressive acts such as attacking Whitney and committing suicide.

At the age of 18, Christina also began to take drugs.

In 2005, Bobby accepted an invitation to participate in a reality show "The Real Bobby Brown", and the film crew tracked his private life with Whitney, which he wanted to save the public image of the two, but it backfired.

Bobby and Whitney

The ratings are high, but the performance of the two in the show is difficult to say, Whitney's diva aura is no longer there, she really has a hard time turning over, both the media and the public are disappointed in her performance.

After a long period of drug use, she became very haggard and her mental state was particularly poor.

Unrecognizable

Her marriage to Bobby also came to an end at this time, the two began to divorce by agreement in 2006, her mother forced Whitney into a drug rehabilitation center, and in the next two years, Whitney really began to reflect on her life.

After successful drug rehabilitation, in September 2009, Whitney returned with a new album, and although the results were not good, Whitney's voice was accused of being ruined by her, she still won several awards.

That same year, while promoting the new album on Oprah's show, Whitney opened up to her, reminiscing about her past days, saying that she was trying to get out of the haze and that she felt that the biggest enemy was herself.

In 2011, Whitney starred in the film "Sparkling Fireworks" and sang the songs of the soundtrack, and everything was changing for the better, when she was 47 years old, and it was too late to start over.

Whitney Houston struggled to get back on

However, no one expected that at 3:55 p.m. on February 11, 2012, Whitney was found in the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills and accidentally drowned in a bathtub. The night before she died, she had drunk a lot of wine at the party.

However, before her death, Whitney had called her mother, daughter and other family members, and there was no abnormality, and she was ready to attend the party before the Grammy Awards.

Whitney Houston Funeral

What is even more unexpected is that on July 26, 2015, three years after Whitney's death, her 22-year-old daughter Christina also passed away, walking in a very similar way to her mother, Whitney.

On January 31 of that year, Christina was found unresponsive in the bathtub at home and was subsequently taken to the hospital for treatment, where doctors, after some time, told Bobby that Christina was brain dead.

Hoping for a miracle, Bobby kept Christina in the intensive care unit, supported by the life supply device, until July 26, when the equipment was removed and her daughter was gone.

The daughter also went with her

Years later, Bobby said in an interview that Whitney had long since taken drugs and that he had not brought it, so Whitney's death had nothing to do with him.

No matter what Bobby said, Whitney could no longer stand up and contradict him.

Whitney said the biggest enemy was herself

But, as Whitney herself put it, Bobby was the external factor that influenced her, and her biggest enemy was herself. The decision she made when choosing a partner, and even after the marriage Ofubie was revealed, she did not bother to stay away from him.

Timely stop loss is really important.
