They look like a Disney version of Whitney and Bobby, and the article states that they're filming a movie about a woman who lived a incredibly tumultuous life in 21 days. A movie about Whitney Houston needs to be the real thing, to dig deep and go there, not some well lit condensed shit.
ETA: Soundalike recordings?? Nobody sounds like Whitney Houston! This is really, really going to suck.

Bobbi Kristina,Whitney's daughter, had voiced a desire to play Whitney. In a recent interview,Angela Bassett, who is directing the movie, said she had never considered Bobbi. Bobbi responded with a scathing twitter rant in which she called her a "bitch", a "bassketcase", and a biological male. Bobbi Kristina later apologized, saying she's just young and makes mistakes. Bobbi Kristina playing her mother? No. - Bobbi Kristina looks too much like her father Bobby Brown. That was obvious to me even in the Ebony cover that featured her and her parents when Bobbi Kris was still a baby.
- If one must have Bobbi Kristina due to stunt casting, maybe it'd be more appropriate to have her play her mother in the beginning of her career (like when Whitney's debut album came out and Whitney's modeling days).
- Isn't it too soon? Wouldn't it be weird?
Speaking of having famous children play their parents, I can see casting Mariska Hargitay to play her mother Jayne Mansfield than casting Bobbi Kristina playing her mother Whitney Houston, because Mariska looks more like her mother (add a blond wig). Yet, it'd be understandable if Mariska didn't want to do it. I don't understand why Bobbi Kristina wants to do this. When will celebrities (and children of celebrities) learn that Twitter rants are hardly a good idea? One can delete the tweets, but once someone takes a screen grab, the content may live on forever. Besides, was it really that serious, Bobbi Kris? ETA: Thanks for making another obvious point, Witchie. Do we even know whether Bobbi Kristina has any acting ability?

Ignorant child! Angela Bassett has more talent in her toe nail clippings than Bobbi Kristina possesses in her entire body. Have a stadium full of seats!

Lifetime is getting Deborah Cox to do soundalike recordings because they don't have authorization to use Whitney's real singing voice. I think Deborah sounds great in that clip.

Deborah Cox and Whitney did a duet, Same Script, Different Cast. I think she's a pretty good choice considering the circumstances.

Loved that song back in the day. While, duh, obviously no one would be able to rip out the vocals like Whitney did, Deborah's a great choice.

Bobbi Kristina needs to sit the hell down -- did she really think that a reputable film studio was going to bankroll a film about Whitney Houston starring someone who (a) has a history of erratic behavior, (b) looks nothing like the subject of the film, daughter or no, or (c) ISN'T A FUCKING ACTRESS?

puretrash I completely agree. "I made her what she was." Yes she did. Cissy set up Whitney to become a crackhead and a mean bitch. Thanks to her mother, Whitney was FUBAR long before she ever met Bobby Brown. Cissy can go fuck herself. Quoting myself from a year and a half ago because my opinion about Cissy hasn't changed. Oh, and she's happy to use gay people to make money but wouldn't want her kid to be one? She can go fuck herself with a rainbow chainsaw. She can keep her trap shut about gay kids because her own kids all turned out to be drug addicts and I firmly think this is a case of severe parenting fail. Meet my mom (and my dad). They're 77 and both pro-gay rights and always have been. Mom supports the local gay choir and she was thrilled to go to my friend's same-sex wedding. My parents would not have cared if I were gay or straight (I'm straight) and when I was younger they went out of their way to help my gay friends whose parents couldn't cope with their kids coming out. They were allies long before it became fashionable, so to speak.

Aww...I still miss Whitney. When she died I listened to her greatest hits all day. I adored her when I was in the 5th grade.
Bobbi Kristina gets basically a pass from me. I think she had the deck stacked against her with BB and WH for parents. I doubt she really knows how to handle her emotions good or bad. She may be an adult now, so I know she has more agency for her own life. Still, I feel bad for her and think she probably had no modeling for coping skills. Not saying what she says/does is okay, though. Maybe she just feels weird having the movie? It does seem kinda soon.

BK just burned a big old bridge if she wants to act professionally. She might get hired as stunt casting for bit parts, but nobody's going to want to take a chance on someone with no training who pitches temper tantrums online.
