  1. No matter who Whitney Houston was she will always be legendary her voice was magical and dare I say could bring a nation together could even heal your heart🤔

  2. Well even though she’s passed away and you play her songs today you still would sing after right after it because they’re so so good🤔

    1. stop your whining … this is his new program “look at who is talking to Chris Wallace” they are interviews with notable people .

  3. Clive Davis did not discover Whitney Houston. Cissy Houston discovered Whitney and doggedly prepared her singing voice for decades in preparation for a record deal when the timing was right. Clive was simply one of the MANY suitors who they chose do to business with.

  4. Lost a lot of respect for her when she lip-synced the National Anthem. You either sing it live, or you don’t sing it at all.

    1. Who are you???

      Lip-synched, yes, but she was still singing. It was prerecorded in the studio, then on the day of actual performance, the orchestra played along with the track. She then sang along to the recording on that podium, but into a dead microphone. But she was singing, it’s just not the audible prerecorded tape blasting through the speakers. Prerecorded national anthems are used to reduce technical issues (from the crowd, weather etc) It’s a mandatory procedure for very formal national anthem events. The important part is, Whitney Houston’s voice was what you heard, studio or live. She proved her capabilities in the Welcome Home Heroes Concert the same year, where she sung it live. Deterring the critics.

  5. Now this is, I believe…just my opinion, a happier more fulfilled Chris Wallace; free from the tyranny of FOX.
