I think I may have to change my mind after watching Sparkle. It's probably going to be my favorite and my least favorite Whitney movie.

[Sweet P]

I'm gonna have to say WTE simply because she owned that role. Feeling so much emotion and energy, that role was perfect for her. Me and my mother sat and watched it together, for our mother/ daughter time. We laughed and cryed, just had a great time watching Whitney, commenting back and fourth.

Hard one. But I find I spend a lot ot time with my kids watching Cinderella. So I voted there, but I might personally give a little edge to the Bodygaurd.

I pick the Bodyguard.. i just love this movie!!! but i think i will love Sparkle soo much and maybe will become my fav..

[Petra]

Sparkle will definitely have a special place in our hearts because it's her last movie. And if her acting is on the level we saw in the trailer, it could also become our favorite because of her killing the role. I have a feeling that's what's gonna happen.

This is excruciating!!!!!

How does one choose?

I love her vulnerability through the bravado in The Bodyguard, and the chemistry with Costner;
WTE, she OWNED that role and, again, sold the vulnerability; it is impossible to think of Savannah being anyone but Whitney;
TPW, when she's ice skating with Denzel and falling in love and then comes back and mama sees all; this performance is so subtle; amazing, but you can see and feel Whitney falling in love, even more than Denzel falling for her (who'd a thunk anyone would ever have cause to say Whitney Houston out-acted Denzel Washington;
Cinderella, she just has a ball with this role and it leaps from the screen. I love when they sing Impossible.

I have been looking at this thread for ages it seems and never opened it because it is a near impossible question to answer. Oh, and what about Nora's Hair Salon. I never saw that movie, but I've watched Whitney's bit a thousand times, and I crack up every time. She was a real comedian. "Whaz in this chit?" "Ha! Gurl, I left the first act on stage." "Now hook a sista up!" Can I vote for Nora's Hair Salon? Just writing these lines, I can see Whitney's facial expressions and I am cracking myself up.

O.k. I've narrowed the serious chooices down to The Bodyguard, WTE and TPW. I'll have to ruminate on this a bit more before I vote. This is harder than a physics final.

Ever try making a top 10 favorite live performances list? That's torcher. At one point, I was banging my head on the desk. Literally.

I can't imagine a top 10 live. What would you leave out? How about top 5? Start another poll.

I gotta go with TPW all the way ...

[Every1lovesNippy]

I think I've narrowed it down to The Bodyguard and TPW. It's the soundtracks that win out, because it's Whitney. Now the soundtracks are very tough for me to decide between. She is on fire in TPW and it's like she's giving a master class on how to S.I.N.G. And with Bodyguard, it's as if she just fully blossomed as a singer and had found the way to channel her emotions completely in song. Her songs there are each one a revelation.

This is a hard decision.

He's cute!

I love the respect he has for Whitney and Kevin. Imagine spending 2 months with her and her, in a way, replacing your mom, taking care of you. She just loved people and cared for them. That's something you don't encounter often, especially when you're talking about celebrities and divas.
