I don't know if you have watched this video, but I came across it today on YouTube. It is very well done. Search The Bodyguard Hero and the video will appear.

I think what we see in Kevney is seen worldwide by at least some people. A UK paper that reported on Cissy's book and her disapproval drew a lot of comments. For the most part the posters weren't that knowledgeable but among the comments was this:
"Yeah-I wonder how her life would have been- had she married Kevin Costner- years later.' |

You know, I always thought it was weird when he said that they don't talk about music and she never inspired any of his music. The woman was a muse who had the best songwriters in the business working on her albums, even the ones that were the weaker performers in terms of sales. But I guess we have to (reluctantly) take his word for it! |

I remember reading somewhere that when Whitney lost her baby during the TBG filming, that her mother said that she shouldn't be too sad. If the baby would have been born, how would she explained the baby? I never understood this, maybe Cissy meant that the baby would come out looking too light? And how would Whitney explain a white baby?

However, one thing I do know that is a flat out lie on Kevin's part is when he says or implies that he and Whitney never talked about music or she never inspired his music. Of course, they talked about music together, as both of them have admitted to doing so on numerous occasions--going all the way back to when he first picked "IWALY" as the theme song for TBG. They've both expressed publicly how each had a say-so in the selection of that song and how she would sing it a capella. Also, in order for Whitney to write the lyrics to "Queen of the Night” for the movie, they both must have 'talked about’ how to compose the lyrics of that song and what kind of feelings needed to be conveyed through the words and the music. And when Kevin and Whitney shared their childhood experiences about church, they both must have ‘talked about’ music at some point. Remember Kevin saying that the atmosphere in New Hope Baptist Church felt “electric” at the funeral? "That feels right" was the way he put it so endearingly in his own words when he first got up to speak that day. He and Whitney must have ‘talked about’ at some point what “good gospel music” feels like - - whether it comes from the souls of black folks or the hearts of whites singing in the Baptist church choir. And of course, we've all seen where Whitney has admitted that both she and Kevin made the mutual agreement that she would "help him with his music" if he helped her with her acting. That means that they both MUST HAVE ‘talked about’ music in order for her to help him. BTW, how was she "helping him" with his music at that point? Was he writing music in 1991/1992? Did he perform with his band at that time? Was she his only audience; his private audience? Perhaps Whitney meant that she would somehow help Kevin with his music down the road, after TBG? And about Whitney not being an inspiration for his music? Puleeze, Kevin! Kevin has already admitted that quite a few of his songs were "lost" lyrics that were written many years ago—undiscovered until his second wife found them in a closet or somewhere and suggested he put them to music. Given that tidbit of information, what woman does Kevin think we might conclude he was talking about when he wrote many of those song lyrics so long ago? If they were written in the years after his divorce and before his remarriage, to whom was he writing? And as his songs seem to suggest--Why was it so hard for him to get with the one woman he really wanted and loved if he were then a free man? Moreover, why write so many songs that described a woman that fit Whitney’s description to a tee: “Yeah I remember your little girl smile…” “ I wanna pull you from the fire…” “Be the keeper of all your secrets that no one else should know…” Again I say, “Puleeze, Kevin!" And if Kevin is now trying to say that the “real” Kevin Costner is the man we see on the stage—singing and performing—and not the actor we see on the screen, then what are we to conclude about those songs he wrote and sang from so long ago? Come on, Kevin! There’s only one woman you could have been writing about in those early days—only one “real” woman for only one “real” man. The apple of your eye--Whitney Houston! Okay, my rant is over. Good night. |

Excellent points all around, and I agree w/ you. When I said Kevin's comments about not discussing music w/Whitney and not being inspired by her were 'weird,' I was putting it mildly. On discussing the music, I was talking about a morning TV interview in Vancouver that he gave post 'Bodyguard.' He said that whenever they 'bumped into each other' in those current times (his Freudian slips never get old ) they don't discuss music. I see a little bit of truth to that. I mean if, in Kevin's words, a man, "with a man's brain," has his beautiful girlish muse right in front of him, and time is precious before she slips away, is he necessarily thinking about chord progressions? I could think of a hundred "after dark" musical puns for not talking about music, but I'll keep it clean and say he left the songwriting to moments when he was not around her and made much more red-blooded use of their time. Thesr reporters are slick, b/c if those two didn't talk about music, then what else was discussed, huh? |
