Whitney Houston Lifetime Movie to Include Her Music, but Not Her Voice: Who Will Be Singing? Find Out Now! by Marc Malkin Tue., Jul. 15, 2014 5:09 PM PDT  Yaya DaCosta, Whitney Houston, Deborah Cox Jack Zeman/Lifetime 2014; Arista Records; Getty Images Lifetime's upcoming Whitney Houston movie can't come any sooner. And I'm more than happy to report that the production will feature some of the late singing legend's music. However, there is one hitch—we won't actually be hearing the voice of Houston or Yaya DaCosta, the former America's Next Top Model hopeful who is playing her in the Angela Bassett-directed film. I can exclusively reveal that Houston's songs will be sung by...R&B singer Deborah Cox! A Lifetime rep tells me that "music rights and clearances are still being worked out," but Cox will be providing the "vocal tracks." It was announced in May that Bassett, who co-starred with Houston in Waiting to Exhale, would make her directorial debut with the Lifetime original movie about the late singer. The movie is said to be focusing on Houston's relationship with Bobby Brown. Just yesterday, Lifetime released the first photo of DaCosta as Houston and Arlen Escarpeta as the former New Edition singer. Houston's family is not involved with the production. "I really just want to tell a story about a boy and a girl who fell in love," Bassett recently told CNN. "And these are the words and this is the place, and these are the people on the outside, you know? And I want to be as honest as I can about doing that." She also said that Houston's substance abuse will be addressed. "Well, we know that drugs were a part of their story and that's certainly an element of their story. We can't tell their story without that," Bassett said. "It's involved, and I hope we can unpack it gently." Rounding out the cast are Yolanda Ross as Houston's best friend Robyn Crawford, Suzzanne Douglas as her mom Cissy and Mark Rolston as Clive Davis, the music industry icon who discovered Houston in 1983. The movie, which is currently shooting in Los Angeles, is set to premiere on Lifetime next year.

Smh What a mess. Don't do it Debra! Why shouldn't she record the songs? She is one of only a handful of established singers who could actually hit all the notes and do the songs justice (other than Alexandra Burke, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis, Tamyra Gray, or Yolanda Adams). No one could ever replace Whitney Houston as she was truly a once in a lifetime vocalist. Perhaps the original studio recordings with Whitney's vocals were not going to be allowed to be used. |

Smh What a mess. Don't do it Debra! I'm with you on this. This is just as bad, if not worse, than their attempt to go behind the Haughton family's back to do an Aaliyah bio. I hope Cissy, her other children and her nieces and nephews have the legal means to derail this one, and leave the drama-hungry clowns bitter as hell. Deborah, get back to the EDM world. You don't need to appease the Wendy Williamses of the world to get back into the spotlight. |

Deborah and Janelle Monae are the only ones who can come close to matching Whitney's clear tone and amazing range.

I wouldn't be mad if she came out with some house covers of Whitney for the clubs.

Snippet of Deborah singing "I Will Always Love You". www.tmz.com/videos/0_or8j065tShe sounds great! Good choice for a vocalist if they were going to re-record Whitney's songs. |

So I finally got to see Deborah Cox live in concert for the first time (not counting the time I saw her on Broadway's "Jekyll & Hyde" musical), at this past weekend's San Diego Pride and wow. She really showed us what a dance diva ICON she was, performing a lot of her hits, and getting the crowd jumping on their feet. Not to mention her big finale of singing "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" in it's original version before singing it again in the classic dance remix!   Setlist from what I can remember: If It Wasn't For Love
Things Just Ain't the Same (Remix)
It's Over Now (Remix)
Sentimental (Acapella)
Higher
Beautiful U R
Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe (Kendrick Lamar cover)
Nobody's Supposed to Be Here
Nobody's Supposed to Be Here (Remix) |

Not if Wendy's on this project as well. :( UPDATE: Never mind. If Angela Bassett is directing this one, I don't think Lifetime (or whichever cable network is in charge) will let Wendy come within a light-year of it, as producer or exec.  |

She should get on R&B Divas. Naw. Yes, she'll get more exposure, but she does not need to be in that drama filled reality show world. |

Deborah Cox's Favorite Things By Charlie Carballo Multi-platinum R&B and dance music songbird Deborah Cox headed to San Diego Pride this past July and delivered a show that kept fans on their feet. With a career spanning more than 20 years and 12 number-one hits on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart under her belt, she revisited the songs that have made her a dance club staple, as well as new music from her upcoming sixth studio album. This is Deborah Cox. And these are a few of her favorite things... Favorite thing about gay pride: The energy, the vibe, all the people on one accord--just partying and being themselves. Favorite thing to do when you're in your hometown: I'm originally from Toronto. When I get there I love to eat and see family. Favorite way to spend a weekend: I live in Miami, so I love swimming and hanging out by the beach. Favorite thing about theater: The orchestra. Performing with a live orchestra is mesmerizing for me as a musician. Favorite singer who has inspired you: It would have to be a combination of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight. Favorite curse word: It would have to be M.F. You know I wouldn’t say it (out loud). Favorite comment from a celebrity: Oh my gosh. Oprah told me she works out to my music. Favorite guilty pleasure: Twizzlers. It's on my rider. I love Twizzlers. It's got to be strawberry. Favorite thing to binge eat: Grapes and popcorn. Favorite fan gift: A beautiful painting. I've gotten a lot of beautiful things, but I love handwritten notes. But art, I love art. When a fan hand-paints a portrait I think it's amazing. Favorite Canadian things you can't find in the U.S.: Glosette peanuts. It's, like, chocolate-covered candy peanuts that you can't find here; that and Harvey's hamburgers. Favorite song to sing when nobody's around: Every day that varies. Right now, at the moment, it would have to be Emeli Sande. I love her music. Favorite person to watch perform live: Tina Turner. Favorite duet: Whitney Houston, of course. "Same Script, Different Cast." Favorite piece of advice you've been given: I've been given a lot of precious nuggets from different people. I’d say Whitney, when she told me to keep balance in my life--make sure I have my family as well as my records. Keep the balance. Favorite thing your kids taught you: Patience. I'm still working on it though. Favorite movie: I love a good romantic comedy. The one that comes to mind is "The Notebook." Favorite adventurous thing you've done: When I walked a tightrope across… well, it wasn’t a tightrope. It was in Hong Kong--a zip line.

She should just release a dance-oriented album à la Donna Summer's Crayons.

I think the opposite. I think she should get back to her actually decent studio work.
