Whitney Houston Movie
Whitney Houston was one of a kind, so, of course I had to see the new I Wanna Dance with Somebody blu-ray.
I remember when I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) was released way back in 1987.
The song is fantastic, but it was Whitney who brought it to life and made us feel all the feels with her.
Her death was a tragedy, no doubt.
This biopic is a tribute that celebrates her life and helps us understand and connect with her all over again.

Synopsis
The film is a powerful and triumphant celebration of the incomparable Whitney Houston.
Directed by Kasi Lemmons, written by Academy Award® nominee Anthony McCarten (Best Adapted Screenplay, The Two Popes, 2019), produced by legendary music executive Clive Davis and starring BAFTA Award® winner Naomi Ackie, the film is a no-holds-barred portrait of the complex and multifaceted woman behind The Voice.
From New Jersey choir girl to one of the best-selling and most awarded recording artists of all time, audiences are taken on an inspirational, poignant—and so emotional—journey through Houston’s trailblazing life and career, with show-stopping performances and a soundtrack of the icon’s most beloved hits as you’ve never heard them before.
