In all honesty, the coughing is a non-factor. I believe that it was a result of her bronchitis being exacerbated during the season and her diagnosis of upper respiratory infection. Both illnesses causes a build up of mucous. Having a productive cough is encouraged and is a sign of getting better.
None of her US performances featured coughing or X Factor UK/Italy or the FRance performance. It was only when she went on tour and got ill.
i don't believe that she was coughing during the BET COG performance or Clive Davis pre-party. Now, the inconsistent vocals is a different story and i agree, she needs to be more consistent.
What i wouldlike to see her do is to go t BET whom has always supported her and record a pre-tape concert or pre-tape session for her next era. Pull a Mariah! using backing tracks and pre-tape it where she can have more control and can have do overs. No more live performances until consistent.

I know the upper respiratory infection played a big part in her coughing, but I think the coughing would've acted up regardless during a show because it's constant singing for 2 hours, and let's be honest her lungs aren't in the best shape and that's been noticeable for a few years.

No I don't know that at all, a cough or two or three or even six in a concert is normal ( for a singer who smokes) not coughing 5-8xs in one song. She did several songs at GMA and did not cough. She did 3 songs at CD PGP and did not have coughing.
She won't have mucous coating her throat, bronchioles and in her lungs every day. Yes, her breathing technique is not good but outside of seasonal allergies, bronchial flare ups, I don't expect her coughing the way she did on tour. That, imo, was soley due to her illness.
But your point is taken re her voice being inconsistent I'd say in transitioning from register to register or having her chest voice work in sync with her head voice. Most of the time one was off when the other was live or the hoarseness played a factor.
She would sound fine when her head voice wasn't working if she didn't go for notes that weren't there, lowered the key and just sung with what she had. MOst of the time it was the cracked voice, the breathing (from all that dancing and singing) and the coughing that was noted by the reviewers.
I'd say if she worked with a vocal coach and really practiced how to sing with the voice she has now, add more bells and whistles to the show and only sing with 3 days rest in between, she would be fine. I find that she has more power in her vocals in a way that she did several years ago. It's just getting all the elements to work together.
But yeah, bring on the movie, we'll definitely get more movies and promo than from a cd.

Whitney's child is tweeting B. Scott back and forth about doing an interview together. I'd LOOOVE for Whitney to show up for it too. That interview would reach 10 million views on youtube in 3 days.

Whitney will never! she's say 'B. Scott who!" lol
Whitney and Krissi's personality are very different. Whitney doesn't like the limelight at this point, prefers to be private and shuns/declines interviews. Krissi....that's another story, lol!
p.s I haven't see the tweets though

^ I'll get excited after it's officially announced. Oh Whitney, you're boring me lately. Why aren't you in LA with your daughter? I hope a man is an excuse...

MOVIE NEWS: ‘WAITING TO EXHALE’ SEQUEL IS ON ITS WAY! – BUT, IS THE ENTIRE CAST RETURNING? Is there talks about a ‘Waiting to Exhale 2’? Loretta Devine: There’s talk. Angela Bassett: There’s talk. We’re in the middle stages of talking. There’s a script in place, and they (the writers) are happy with it, but there needs to be some tweaking of it. Forest (Whitaker) is on board to direct it. It could go within a year. That’s about all I can tell you. We haven’t read the script because they are getting it together. We can read it now, but they are going to change it. We’ll read it in six weeks. Very recently, McMillian tweeted the follow, “We are working on the script for HAPPY. Will know in about a month or so when we’ll begin production. Probably on screens in 2012.” ------------------------------------------------- & Terry McMillan tweeted this Everybody seems to know more about the GETTING TO HAPPY film than me! You'll see familiar faces. That's all I can say for now.

I'm hoping she has a more throwback/neo soul r&b kind of sound for the next album with some collabs.

Getting to happy looks to be definitely happening. It's just a matter of getting confirmation if Whitney will be in it. I can't see her not being in it.
Hopefully with her in Cali now, more info will be had.
