I watched this documentary on netflix and found it very interesting. It was very sad to watch her deteriorate though. What I did find annoying though was how it kept going backwards and forwards in years, it would have made more sense to show her years in order as it was very confusing at times. We also see that cissy Houston was not a very nice mother at all, her interview with Oprah was both shocking and disgusting. For years I always blamed bobbi brown for her getting into drugs when I had no idea she had been dabbling in drugs long before she met him, he didn't exactly help her though and pretty much encouraged her drug use to the point if no return and ill never see him in a good light because if that, and the fact he pushed her best friend away and belittled Whitney when she was already feeling low šŸ˜”. If you was a Whitney fan and feel like you've seen everything any documentary has to offer, then give this a go. You might be surprised at what you find out.

"This record is incredibly passionate, and it's got incredible lyrics. I've since become friends with Wes [Eisold, frontman] and he's a great guy, a great writer and musician, but this record just holds so much weight in my youth, at a time when I was quite lost and hardcore really picked me up. They were emerging at that time and they're from Boston, which just seemed violent to me, and I needed that violence in my life. I stage dove to American Nightmare in Camden Underworld in 2003 and dislocated my arm, and when I saw them play it was something hard to ignore. They looked like mods, like they should have lived in Brighton in the 70s. It was so weird to see a dude in skinny jeans, DMs, and a Fred Perry shirt but screaming his guts out in North London, surrounded by kids in black hoodies, it was bizarre. I still have it in my workout playlist now and that's a good 15 years on. When I hear the song 'AM/PM' it makes me want to stage dive again, and I love that it can make me feel like that so late in the day."

"You know, I haven’t seen the film in a very long time, but because it was another thing that my sister and I, as kids, would watch — the film Lady Jane, with Helena Bonham Carter. And Helena Bonham Carter was, I think she was like, 17. I feel funny saying that’s one of my favorite films, but it really inspired us, and we’re both actors now, and she is, to us, still amazing. When I watched it, I just remember thinking, ā€œOh my gosh, that’s my dream,ā€ to play that role. I love her. Lady Jane started my love of period films and the British accent, which I’m obsessed with. I just did my first one. I did a medieval film [Ironclad] that… Do you know Jason Flemyng? He’s one of my really good friends. As soon as I heard Jason Flemyng was doing it and that it was medieval, I was like, I don’t even care what it’s about — I gotta do it just for the fun. I was the only girl on the movie. It was hilarious. And yes, I got to do my British accent."
