Kevney | [Kevin Costner ♥ Whitney Houston] | #22: He Loved Her No Matter What
Welcome to the #22nd Kevney Appreciation Thread Supporter List: AchrisL
~~~~~ Kevin & Whitney's Biodatas F u l l name: Kevin Michael Costner Kevin was born in Lynwood, California, on January 18, 1955, the third child of Bill Costner, a ditch digger and ultimately an electric line servicer for Southern California Edison, and Sharon Costner. He has 2 older brothers (middle brother died at birth) and was raised Baptist. Costner was not academically inclined. Rather, he enjoyed sports, took piano lessons, wrote poetry and sang in the First Baptist Choir. He has stated that a viewing of the film How the West Was Won at the age of seven had "formed" his childhood. At 18, he built his own canoe and paddled his way down the rivers that Lewis & Clark followed to the Pacific. Despite his present height, he was only 5'2" when he graduated high school. Nonetheless, he still managed to be a basketball, football and baseball star. In 1973, he enrolled at California State University at Fullerton, where he majored in business. (more info here) M o v i e s famous for: Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves, The Bodyguard F u l l name: Whitney Elizabeth Houston Whitney Houston was born into a musical family on 9 August 1963, in Newark, New Jersey, the daughter of gospel star Cissy Houston and ex-army serviceman John Houston. Her cousin is singing star Dionne Warwick. She has 2 older brothers. Whitney began singing in the choir at her church, The New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, as a young child and by the age of 15 was singing backing vocals professionally with her mother on Chaka Khan's 1978 hit, 'I'm Every Woman'. She went on to provide backing vocals for Lou Rawls, Jermaine Jackson and her own mother and worked briefly as a model, appearing on the cover of 'Seventeen' magazine in 1981. M o v i e s famous for: The Bodyguard, Waiting to Exhale, The Preacher's Wife ~~~~~ "I kissed her once for everybody in America and I kissed her once for myself..."

Nymph of my dream! Glorious moonbeam! My heart aches, each second, each minute, each hour, each day, Too soon, too soon, have you gone away! I should’ve held her aye, – forever, I should’ve held her close, closer. I should’ve kissed her today, tonight, tomorrow, I should’ve whispered in her ear, – “Say what they want; we don’t care.” I should’ve let my feelings flow, Like the river, gently travelling Into endless space and time, Freely, without thinking, just singing, and just glistening Under the sun, and with a passion undone, And with a love compared to none. Oh, how I wanted her; how my heart yearned for her, How she excited me, how she delighted me. She was so beautiful, utterly divine, Heavenly creature, perfect, sublime, Goddess of Song, you were mine, yes, you were mine! Why did I free her from my arms? Why did I let her walk away from my charms? Wish, Oh how I wish she were here today, I will suffer long and for always, aye. I think of her, my heart is bursting, My body is on fire, my brain is scorching, I want to touch her, taste her, now and forever, When will my soul stop its quiver…. This pain, I cannot bear any longer, I die each day as I remember The piercing image of her beauty and her smile, Come, stay with me, and rest awhile. No, stay with me, and rest forever, For I shall never ever be the same Without you, – Life – there is no gain. ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Kevney Songs

I agree %110 with you because in the bodyguard he looks at her so intense with love in his eyes and when I saw other movies he was in with other leading ladies he doesn't give that look its like to its just another white chick or something nothing special lol |

This is not the report that I saw on the network's NY channel last night. This was well done, unlike the sloppy, cynical editing job that was put together and broadcast in the NY market. That one had inaccuracies and did not convey the sense that he cared about Whitney, which we know he did. It downplayed their connection, and made it seem like the family dragged him onto that pulpit to do the tribute.
So Kala, maybe you saw a different version of the same footage that CBS shot and distributed to their affiliates. This is good! It just goes to show you that the New York market is: a.) tone deaf and tin-eared to the connection these two had, or b.) just plain mean. Overall, I liked the L.A. market's edit best. I especially loved what Kevin said about the tribute speech: "It's the story of us." Isn't that beautiful? It almost sounds like the title of a romance novel. Or a fanfic. Quote: Kevin has said in several interviews that as soon as Dione asked him to speak, he didn't hesitate, he said yes. To me he seems humble and grateful that her family thought highly of him, asking him to speak at whitney's funeral. He has never given the impression that WH's family begged him to speak at her funeral....All the wonderful things he had been saying about Whitney in public wasn't a request from her family. He did so because he loved her and her family never forgot how KIND & RESPECTFUL kevin has been to Whitney when she was alive. It was just right that they asked him to speak because they knew he had GENUINE LOVE for WH.[/[B] And this was my issue with the NY-market report, Aurielle. They specifically said Dionne made a final plea to Kevin, on behalf of the family, to speak. The NY-market took the footage and botched it. +++++++++ Thanks Gobsmacked. I hope the whole interview with Kevin came through. I would appreciate someone letting me know. How's all my wonderful friends? |
