In her early 20s, my mum’s reputation as a Whitney Houston fan – and an unstoppable dancer – preceded her. It was the mid-80s, and she was a newly qualified physiotherapist living in Acton. After work, her khaki-coloured Fiat 127 became a karaoke spot for her friends, hosting warbled singalongs, windows rolled down, to the vocalist’s early classics.
I remember her belting out Whitney (often with wildly incorrect lyrics) around our house growing up. Mum’s enthusiastic singing was a permanent fixture, like the kitchen table. Even now, when I return to the house I grew up in, I still hear her cackling away and butchering the high notes of I Will Always Love You.
The unbreakable mother-daughter bond
Multiple award-winning singer Whitney might have gone through a lot on the personal and the professional front but she made sure she kept her lovable daughter close to her. With such a busy schedule, Whitney even decided to bring Bobbi wherever she went and that’s how Kristina first got introduced to fame. From the time she was a little girl, Whitney would take her on tour, even pulling her up on stage to sing along with her.
Bobbi later became popular as a reality TV personality, thanks to her famous father s reality show, ‘Being Bobby Brown’, and she even accompanied her mom on the red carpet to events such as the premiere of ‘The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.’
