She birthed a legend, the greatest singer of all time and stunning beauty Whitney Houston

Whitney will always be THE VOICE

Her mom is absolutely gorgeous, I can see where Whitney’s beauty and charm came from. We will always love you Whitney.

Her mother is blessed to still be around

I will never get over her death nor will I forget her in my heart. Whitney has been a part of me since I was 16 yrs old. I will sing with her and her songs for Eternity, i love her deeply.

Thank you Cissy for loaning your daughter to the world. It was the best gift that everyone was privileged to hear her sing or act . She had amazing talent like no other she was an original. You did all you could do as a parent . You did an excellent job ! When you leave home the choices you make our just that “your choices” . Always keeping you Ms.Cissy in my prayers you look beautiful my dear . God has truly blessed & kept you . Beautiful interview .

Anyone still find her death REALLY suspiscious??? I can't get over it !!!

Whitney lives on through her music. She still inspires and touches a whole new generation. No matter what happened Cissy lost her baby and only she lives with that pain every day.

Cissy kept it real all the way through, I loved her responses!

If you've never buried your child, what do you really know about the pain and perceived "bitterness and cold" she projects. I didn't read bitterness or cold at all.... just VERY matter-of-fact with a healthy dose of Newark, NJ's "don't try it!" God bless Ms. Cissy. Viva Whitney Houston. 🙏🏽✨💕✨

From one grieving mother to the next… I feel for Miss Cissy’s!! She lost her child. Now she’s just left with a collage of memories, both good and bad. I pray she find some peace, knowing that she did her job, and that she gave birth to the world’s best singer! A legend and an Angel all in one package! Sending her warm hugs 🤗🌺❤️💕

Beautiful Cissy Houston!! Ms. Houston raised a beautiful daughter. You did your job Ms. Houston. And God bless you! 💔😘🙏

I like Cissy Houston and I read her book. A mother’s love. It’s a respect thing of that generation. I honour that. Bless you Cissy. RIP Whitney and Krissi

Whitney Houston's death was no accidental drowning. We know the truth now don't we, Pat Houston!!!

Such a wise, enlightened and deeply spiritual lady Sissy Houston 🙏🏼 Whitney Huston was just like her amazing mother. RIP

After kids grow up into adults...parents can’t tell them what to do.... they’re gonna do what they want. Whitney was vulnerable and just wasn’t strong enough...period.

Mom don't, play. She is strong and tough. As a mother you raise your kids right and when they get older and on their own they make their own choses.

The book was to soon as well as that reality show..Pat Houston was behind that reality show and Cissy Houston agreed to it....not caring anything about her daughter and how she felt, they should have all been in the grieving process instead of trying to make financial gain off of Whitney's death. You have to call a spade for a spade and that's what it was...

I think she handled this interview with a lot of class. She was asked some very difficult questions about some very raw content in front of a live studio audience on national television. She could have erupted and said anything. And you know what? I’d have still commended her for attempting an interview. The thing is, we expect to bury our parents one day, but parents never expect to bury their children. So the fact that she was able to hold herself together so well for this interview, after only a year, is quite remarkable to me. Unless you’ve been dealt that hand, you can’t say much about it. I don’t want to join that club and I pray I never have to. I believe she wrote that book to defend her daughter against all the garbage circulating through the media. It was the only way she could ensure that her words would be repeated the exact way she intended for them to be and this avenue (a book) allowed her to cover any/all topics with as much depth as she wanted, while giving her time to think of how she wanted to word it in order to keep it as tasteful as she could. I haven’t read it, but come on, given the subjects that followed Whitney throughout her life (even after her death) that’s a pretty large task to take on. I commend Cissy for her strength in attempting to do so. Her granddaughter didn’t like it, but she was also a grieving young person. We don’t always see things so clearly through our own pain, especially at that age. Also, some times as children, we feel we can lay more claim to our parents than the other loved ones can (i.e. “MY mother”). I’m sure Bobbi Kristina wasn’t in a clear mindset during her grieving to think about Cissy carrying Whitney in her womb, singing to her, cradling her, protecting her, nurturing her, praying for her, teaching her to walk, waiting to hear her say “mama”, helping with her homework, giving all that motherly advice ...Bobbi Kristina wouldn’t have completely understood all the love, hopes, dreams and fears that a mother carries with her while raising a child. If she did, I don’t think she would have been so upset with her grandmother. She (Bobbi Kristina) was in mourning and reacted. She was a little girl who just lost her mommy. At the same time, this much older woman is grieving the same person, but in a very different way... Cissy was a mommy grieving the loss of her baby girl. Such different memories, such different heartaches. Both grieving the same person in such a substantially different way. A mothers love and attention is selfless; always giving. Whereas a child’s existence is more of the taking nature until the child gets to be much older. It’s just the way we were designed. Truly it was heartbreaking for both sides. They were both robbed of a beautiful person.

I cannot believe she’s been gone for 6 years. Gosh. RIP Witney and May God Bless to Whitney’s family.

Cissy is real. God bless you Cissy and Thank You for giving us...the one and only Miss Whitney Houston❤️ You sound like a wonderful Mother. You did a great job....And No matter what...Whitney was the Original. She started it all. She will never be forgotten. She is the most amazing singer of all time. Nobody could do it like Whitney. And many copied her style and tried. She will reign as the Queen of Pop forever...Love you Whitney❤️❤️❤️

Drugs is the 80’s was everywhere. I don’t smoke or do drugs but I tried them in the 80’s ( peer pressure) and I was raised in a loving and stable home. But I never liked it or got hooked on them. So when you’re rich and under so much pressure I can see how they got hooked.

Cissy looks beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ ! She knows where her beautiful daughter is ! God gives, God took away. She's still Cissy baby.

So sorry mama Houston

something about her writing that book and doing this interview so soon after her passing just doesn’t sit right with me. they were right to ask why and her answer only made me more uncomfortable..

Ms Cissy is a bold and intelligent woman. I see where Whitney got her personality. What a wonderful interview

Cissy, my condolences after your loss of your Daughter and Granddaughter. Your heart must be broken. Love you so much!!!

I love Ms. Cissy💚..."I did my job" amen to that👏

Great interview Mrs Cissy Houston! I love this strong lady. I wish Cissy would handle all interviews and media related to Whitney instead of Pat Houston. God bless Cissy. I certainly feel for her.

Damn I wish she never ever tried drugs because she was an legend and she could of been alive with her mother I still cannot get over this seeing this on the news her death...she was and still is an amazing beautiful woman 💗😇 Keep on flying high Whitney because you and your whole family is outstandingly amazing and talented

The family tried to help Kristina but Kristina was spoiled. Cissy was right when she said Kristina needed therapy. Sad, that Whitney and Kristina are gone too soon but Cissy was not in denial about her children or grand daughter.

Did someone actually ever cared for Whitney at all? At the end of day,, she was found accidentally drowned without anyone by her side even though they knew her pathology was drugs!!! Poor Whitney! R.I.P.

Here.. in the process of reading Robyn's book and cissy seemed like a terrible mother and was only strict to whitney and not her brothers even condone their drug behavior.

God bless you Ms Cissy. Taking “the bus”, can you imagine being a passenger there? Humility, what a woman.

She has a priority in writing a book about her daughter.

Between Whitney and Bobby Brown there had NO LOVE. It was just EMOTIONAL DEPENDANCE !! Love does not destroy a person. It will make you stronger!

I’m not feeling that those babies had a lot of unconditional love given to them as babies... 😔

That mother needs a gold medal.

You will never get over, losing a child. Through it all, she showed us. Courage and strength, at the New Hope Baptist Church. I believe her faith in God, was what kept her strong. Through the death of her daughter and her granddaughter. Watching her from a distance and seeing the strength she showed us. It has helped me to, pull through some recent death in my family. I at admire her and have the up most repect for her strength. When you leave this world, unless it's an investigation upon the death. Me myself, I like to remember a person. About their beautiful and how they made me laugh. Let's remember with Whitney, not for her down falls. The beautiful singing, she shared with us.🙏🙋💕💝💕💝

Happy birthday where you are Whitney! We love and miss you xxxxxx

I really do love Whoopi. She is a good-hearted person. She is a mother. You can hear how she had so much empathy and understanding towards Cece. She is a legendary actress too.

Whitney Houston was the greatest singer and she was beautiful. Whitney is the voice. Her mom is beautiful!

Cissy Houston, She Are So Beautiful!! She Did Your Work As A Mother!! To Your Daughter, And Her 2 Son's. R.I.P Whitney Houston aka The Voice.

People need to stop saying it's God's work when someone dies. He said life and death are in the power of YOUR tongue. Choose life so that you may live. Of course God already knows your heart so He knows what you will choose. As for me with long life He shall satisfy me. I choose life. It's up to you. What will you choose? You can't serve 2 masters.

R.I.P WHITNEY HOUSTON ❤

Cissy did everything in her power to keep Whitney safe. I remembered when she called in on the radio stations to ask everyone to pray for Whitney because she was battling with her addition. And we had corporate prayer for Whitney. Everyone in the New York and New Jersey should remember I believe it was on WBLS

Gosh this lady reminds me of Joe Jackson in her conversation and demeanor. Guess that's just that old school nature.

The question they gossiped about Bobby Christina is disgusting. The young girl lost her mother....

Whitney never had a chance with these greedy grifters in her family. Cissy's 'I made her' comment was one of the cruelest things a mother could say to her daughter. Cissy is pure evil!

Such a wonderful interview.

It is quite impressive that just a year later she could muster the gumption to talk so candidly about this. That was her ONLY daughter. THE Whitney Elizabeth Houston. I mean, can you imagine the pain. Not that it is any different than losing your own, but Whitney was our EVERYTHING. I applaud Cissy for saying what needed to be said. Not shy away from the naivety of her daughter's real life. And putting her final say so on what was a very accomplished individual.

I have her photo with her baby girl in black and white on my wall or right now beside me. I hug them both and smile and miss them. Her greatest achievement in life was that baby girl.

Cissy Houston intimidates me. She don't take no nonsense!

"i know him so well" is from the musical "CHESS" not a gospel song.. they just sang it like that

I don’t know what to say about this interviewing her mom…something ain’t rightright

I was her biggest fan..truly. She meant thr world to me when it came to music. It STILL hurts soooooo bad that she's gone. Still unbelievable. I miss her so much

Moma Houston you are strong lady

That’s right! Ms. Cissy you did your part. A sweet woman and she raised them babies in the house of the Lord. I love Her daughter Whitney Houston also. Rest In Peace Whitney 😍💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️🥰

She was wonderful because of you Cissy❤️🙏

Talking about your deceased child is the most painful conversation Jesus 🥺

Made so much sense sad and a lot of things very well said as a mother beautiful like she said she did her job 💯💯💯🤞🏾

I know the feeling. I lost a child ❤️ beat inside of my womb. The Lost of my baby. I almost lost my mind. My mom came too me. Now Trina this your mother talking to you. If you lose your mind your hubby wouldn't want you. Somebody elese gonna raise your kids. I sit up not my kids. I got up slowly I got my life back. I can sympathize with any woman birth and lost a child.

God bless any parent who loses their child. We lost my only sibling, my brother Steve at only 31.God bless my precious Mother. The pain never goes away. 🙏💔💔💔💔

No offense but Cissy seems to have some secrets or guilt when it comes to Whitney. A guilt that she only knows and will take to her grave.

This is a Proverbs 31 woman if there ever was one. See her faith, strong and true in the face of such tragedy. Beautiful and classy God bless you Cissy Houston

BEAUTIFUL Lady

On this matter, I think Whitney's daughter was right. It's macabre to be going on talk shows promoting a book within a year after Whitney's tragic death.

Her not being able to take responsibility for how her children turned out is disheartening, let your daughter rest and step off that high horse your didn’t do “everything you were supposed to do”

I love cissy personality that grandma we all had

Wonderful mother😢

Cissy, Whitney Houston's mother, displayed remarkable strength and approachability during this 2013 interview, just a year after her daughter's tragic death. Despite the immense loss, Cissy exuded relatability and ease, making her a compelling figure to engage with. Her demeanor, though grounded, resonated with many, showcasing a blend of resilience and humility that was both admirable and comforting.

I LOVE MISS CISSY SO MUCH!!! 💕😍 From one grieving mother to the next, I just want to give her a hug! The world sees a “celebrity” --- she sees “Whitney as her daughter, her baby girl!” This woman’s heart is PURE! We are so thankful that she raised a beautiful girl, whom she shared with the world! 🙏🌸🎉 I love Whitney, and I always will 💕

If she's remorseful about Whitney's passing she sure didn't show it

Bless you Mrs. Houston 🙏💙

I love Cissy..she is an honest jewel and she helped raised a beautiful gift. God bless her and she is so real and she also has a marvelous voice!

Dios mio , que fuerte ella como mamá, dicen que la perdida de una hija es más fuerte que la de un padre. Que fortaleza Cissy tienes...

Whitney said her brother got her on drugs.....way before she met Bobby

Whitney DID NOT use crack 🙄 As she stated herself! if you’re gonna name her drug, at least get it right.

This was 2013, right? Why does the quality of the video look like it is from the 90s?

to keep up appearances...appearances are deceiving...keep smiling...just an image

Forever, and ever Whitney. Rip

Whitney shared her gift with the world. The world treated her horribly in return. Yes a lot of people loved her and cherished her ..but majority was hurtful and cruel. Such a shame.

I love this lady..I hate that she's going through this🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Ms Cissy....thanks. you are right we as parents can be the best we can....but....when our children become grown....they make their choices...bless you in your journey

it gave nice insight in to her family, i think her drug addiction and her brothers wasn't a result of parenting but a result of fame. Sad truth but many great stars, aspiring stars too are subjected to people continually trying to ply them with drugs and alcohol . I think whitney was too good! and struggled to deal with all that came with fame, like her mother said 'all she wanted to do was sing'. Bobby was just hurting and we know the end result! she needed help. Very sad , but thank goodness they are together again and Whitney's music will live on forever.

There is no one else like ms Cissy, no one. Never will be another like her.

A parent can only do so much. When you become a young adult you know right from wrong. Whitney and her brothers were exposed to drugs in the 80's when it was acceptable to aloft of people and n the industry. Some people get more addicted than others. Also when you have fame clout and $$$. People just give it to you when you're famous and in the circle. A lot of artist were doing cocaine but we knew Whitney. We didn't know the others. If we had the responsibility she had a lot of us wouldn't be able to deal with what she dealt with. PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA OF THE WORK AND WHAT IT TAKES TO STAY IN THAT BUSINESS. RIP NIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cissy loved her sons more

I Know Him So Well is not a gospel song; it is from the musical Chess.

Ms CISSY THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR DAUGHTER AND HER VOICE WITH US THANKS

Your job doesn’t stop when you are a parent. Never. Once is unfortunate twice unacceptable three times someone needs to be having a different conversation. Whitney was a lost soul looking for love in all the wrong places.

Thank you Cissy

"You can't change people."

Well here we are one day away from being ten years later a whole decade and I admire her strength and courage

If you weren't so homophobe and cared more about what your church would say, whitney would still be alive. Robyn at the end of the day was the only one taking care of her, the rest of you just wanted the money coming in, you all lived your lives through Whitney`s success, they still do. I suppose at the end, no matter how much you loved her, it was painfull somehow to see your daughter have the career you never had and then some more, becoming the greatest singer ever!

I also would like to say, she made her own choses and she like who she like and it was bobby. Not Eddie Murphy at the time. And people we forget she was a young girl when they dated and got married. Not this mature gown wearing women the Clive Davis created. She may have been booed but she paved away for for the Rhihanna to sing what ever style of music they wanted to sing. Listen to the music today everyone is singing all styles of music. She will be forever loved for her contribution to music. Not just her personal life. She was bigger than that.

Cissy, I love you. Whitney is the greatest singer of all time. She is so beautiful and extremely talented. Such a wonderful soul. I know you are proud of her even in death. We all have demons. She was the greatest singer of the past generation. She is a Jersey girl. I am from New Jersey. I dont judge her for her faults as I certainly have my faults. Thank you Cissy for raising your beautiful girl into a woman and world wide superstar she is. I love her and i always will. Love you Cissy. RIP Whitney. You have an eternal fan in me. even after your death and in mine when i pass on.

You can see she still grieving and I just think that your choice of words, for Ms.Sherrie Shepard.We already know how Ms.Whitney Houston had passed but you didn't have to say it like that? Sometime that trigger for some people they might snap or breakdown! I applaud and have so much love for Ms.Cissy Houston strength & Blessings to her & for being classy & answered the questions the best of her ability without breaking down!!💜💫🙌🏻

Rest in ETERNAL peace and power Whitney! We miss u ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ you will never be forgotten!

The documentary Whitney: I Can Be Me? It is the best if you want to know more about Whitney.
