Whitney: Can I Be Me

THE GIST: The story of Whitney Houston, from singing backup vocals for the likes of Chaka Khan at 15, to signing her first recording contract, which propelled her to worldwide success and unparalleled heights. In the background, a fair share of drug use, love affairs, and scandals.

Whitney: Can I Be Me is both a love letter and a pretty heartwrenching look (knowing how she ended up) at one of the greatest vocalists the world has ever known.

Whitney Houston was gifted with a unique voice and great talent, but, like anyone else, she battled her demons throughout a life lived largely in the public eye -- unlike most.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Interesting for the casual viewer, I definitely recommend it for the fans of this wonderful artist who, unfortunately, left us too soon.
