**Storyline:**
In 1983, Whitney Houston, a young woman from New Jersey, sings in a church choir led by her mother, Cissy, a professional singer. Cissy pushes Whitney to excel, often being strict with her. Whitney finds comfort in her friendship with Robyn Crawford, which evolves into a romantic relationship, and they eventually move in together, much to the disapproval of her religious mother.
During one of Cissy’s performances, she spots record producer Clive Davis in the audience. Feigning illness, she encourages Whitney to take her place and perform “The Greatest Love of All.” Whitney’s performance impresses Davis, leading him to sign her to Arista Records. Her career takes off with her first major live performance on The Merv Griffin Show, where she sings “Home.”
As Whitney’s fame grows, she establishes her own production company, Nippy Inc., managed by her overbearing father, John. When Whitney tries to make Robyn her assistant, John objects due to their personal relationship and pressures them to date men, which Robyn refuses. Whitney’s recording of “If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful” with Jermaine Jackson leads to a brief romantic encounter, upsetting Robyn and cooling their relationship into a close friendship.
Whitney’s hit singles like “How Will I Know” and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)” propel her to international stardom, appealing to diverse audiences. However, she faces criticism for not sounding “black enough” and accusations of selling out.
At the 1988 Soul Train Music Awards, Whitney encounters protesters and is booed when nominated for Best Music Video. R&B singer Bobby Brown consoles her, and they begin dating. Despite Bobby’s revelation about fathering a child with an ex-girlfriend, Whitney reconciles with him after an emotional outburst.
In 1991, Whitney delivers a memorable performance of the National Anthem at the 25th Super Bowl, earning widespread acclaim.
