It could have fleshed out the monologues inside the characters especially Whitney and Robyn.ĭon’t get me wrong. It could have been more slanted to social activism. Storyline is really good however, it seemed to be another story peppered with SORRY. Both are trending but, I hoped it could have been a level up. Why can Freddie Mercury and Elton John get away with brandishing their vibe? Why can’t Whitney do the same or something even better? Why not?įast forward to 2023… I Wanna Dance With Someboday biopic seems to be nowhere near how colorful Bohemian Rhapsody is. I keep shaking my head because for a world where queers rule, why the hell do women like Whitney and Robyn be taboo. Perhaps, one of the things I didn’t like is the angle where Robyn seemed an anti-hero, a distraction, a major fault. There’s something so painful when there reports said that the cause of her death is OD that led her to slip in her bath her last one. She had to carry her cross that she chose because stereotypes and archetypes sell. She deserves it, given that she shattered silos even when she had to bow down and bend over too many times to pay everyone’s bills. Whitney’s story seemed too flawed to the point that she was shrunken to a victim of race, of gender, of religion and the list goes on.Īs I was watching her 2021 documentary, I can’t help but see how her story can be made better. Both ended their lives but, Anthony’s stories are celebratory and poetic. The storytelling is not as biting as that of Anthony Bourdain. So, I’ve been a silent fan of her songs, too.Īs I love documentaries since my elem days (Nat Geo during Health and Science class is my go-to because we don’t have cable.), Whitney Houston: As I Am hit home… hard. Mother Dragon loved Whitney and Madonna, too. Yeah?īeen more intentional in my own Netflix time because 2023 has been filled with a good number of urgent life matters plus deadlines and pivots. YES?įrom Gary Vee to Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody real quick because when I rewatched his interview with Steven, he said that his feed looks like a fuckin’ sunshine. “Will you stay or will you run away?” Let’s tweak it a bit to something like: Choose to stay and make your own runway.
