Hi Divas! This week, Allen chats with author and screenwriter Isaac Oliver (@mrisaacoliver) to discuss possibly the greatest singer of our time: Whitney Houston. We open the interview with Allen gushing about Isaac's time writing for HBO's High Maintenance and Netflix's GLOW. Then Isaac reminisces about making carpet angels in his childhood bedroom while listening to "I Will Alway Love You" on repeat. It's the perfect pop ballad. We then get right into the meat of it all by discussing Robyn Crawford erasure and Whitney's probably fluid sexuality. Isaac then shares Whitney's most divatastic performances: "Why Does It Hurt So Bad?" at the MTV Movie awards, "IWALY" at Divas Live, and her mash up of "I Loves You Porgy/ And I am Telling You/ I Have Nothing." Not to mention her iconic Star Spangled Banner. We also discuss the dichotomy of The Bodyguard: terrible movie, but incredible soundtrack... well, Side A, at least. We will never have another like her. The conversation then dives into her relationship with Bobby Brown, and her complicated monetary relationships with her family. She had everyone on payroll! Isaac believes she was a divine being who should have been protected, and let's face it, we all agree. Finally we close out the interview with Isaac professing his care and thanking Whitney for all she did. He'd also love to give her some Brené Brown books. Come worship with us!
