You tell really loved her, and admired her she was a beautiful singer and a beautiful women 😅

Its a pity that BOTH did not want to try sticking to it - would have been difficult but the heart would have helped

Cleaning nails

A man like him could love more than one woman. He respects women. He deeply knew and respected Whitney. It's very sad that we lost her so early. I loved the chemistry between Whitney and Kevin Costner. Beautiful movie. Beautiful people.

U ain't never ever lied, sisamd zi am t Here for it all. I aminy never dine white. But this white fi ess can get it all in dsy!

Christian

Definitely not underrated by any means. 80’s heartthrob just like Whitney. 🙂🙂❤️

He's my favorite actor of all time from "Dancing with Wolves" to the "Bodyguard with Ms Houston! Definitely a great actor.

Not underrated! He has always been a fantastic performer! Some of his movies have tanked! But many of them have been phenomenal!

He also did a good job for Vin Scully

He also did it with love 😊 Nice to meet you Where are you from?

Shame Costner sold his soul though

@@EJDD1233wdym?

There's gossip that actors are now selling their souls to the devil. Similar to the illuminati and like tales. @@gisels.5769 But the soul to the devil was pretty out there when I first heard it.

That's what I noted too😢

Shes a druggie n he's a cheater

It's honestly true

Wow that a beautiful speech Kevin Costner I miss you BOBBI KRIS and her mother Whitney

Yes Is Was A Lovely Speech He Gave I Also Love Kevin He Is Very Good Actor Whitney Could Act Also He Is Very Handsome They Played The He'll Out Of That Movie I Laugh & Cried Wished They Could Have Made More Togeather But We All Have A Number And Don't Know What It Is Her & Christina Number Was Up Just Thank God For The Time He Let's Us Spend Time With Them Amen

and I am sure it was love

Feeling for her is real Love

Yes....it was the perfect ending!

I'm crying from that part

As an atheist, I have to say that was a beautiful end to a heartfelt speech. Hugs to Costner and all of Whitney's family and.

@. the blinkers of ideology don't help anything

That kind of love is rare.!!!

It seems like his wife found out she came 2nd

​@@helderalmeida2790Don't kids always come first to Mothers So why when a Father puts a kid first it ruins the marriage

Amen brother ❤🙏

Ooops sister! Lol

@@danbruno5945No apparently Kevin Costner called Whitney his “1 true love”

👋

If he really loved her, he would be trying to find out who murdered her.

​@@detroitman8994Here's a hint his first name is Bobby!

He wanted to marry her remember that ❤

♥️😢🙏🏼💫✨

Made me cry

1 John 2:15-17 New Living Translation 15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. James 4:4 New Living Translation 4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God." Mark 8:36 New Living Translation 36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?

He got right to the heart of what cost her her life without coming right out and talking about her use of drugs, her self medicating. She never felt she was enough. She was.

Melted mine too, first time I heard it at the funeral. I saw her movie today.

I'm sure it was a comfort for him and everyone who loved her to know that she was at peace, and singing her heart out to the angels finally free of that fear she could never fully overcome in life. 🥲

@@queenesther09 Fear is in all life, and need to be its not a bad thing.

Yes it is such thing as Black, and White otherwise Space would be well not Black, and the sky would not have clouds that are White

The world is not only Whited n Blacks

The world is not only Whites n Blacks, it for all races that doesn't care other opinions or prejudice because of who God created them.

I feel so sorry that they did not TRY to live it in realy life - would have been difficult but good for both

Agree with you and I am convinced thus was not show

The last 30 seconds messed me up. 😢

I believe she did. Clearly they were close if she spoke to him about her childhood and church. He supported her in the role on the Bodyguard, he refused to let them choose anyone but her. He truly adored her.

I listened to his whole speech and he never called her his one true love. Where are you getting that?

@@gennamcgill4066 After she passed he released a statement as a tribute to her. What you seeing now is his 2nd tribute. Go to google and the statement will pop up. Let me know when you find it. In interviews he has said one of his big regrets was not protecting her when he needed him and that he will have to live with that forever.

​@gennamcgill4066 I've seen a bunch of references to it online over the years. He apparently released a statement after she died where he referred to her as his one true love. I think it's beautiful, but I also can imagine that his wife (soon to be ex-wife now) HAD to have felt some type of about a statement like that at the time. 😬

@@brandinicole80 Any partner would feel some type of way. At the same time I feel his statements was full of regrets and wish he ad done things different.

STILL! 😭

Me too, came back to watch on 4/5/23

@@pamelaeschenroeder8142 yess!!

Just stumbled on this. Through listening to one of her live performances. I'm choked. Never knew about their friendship. A beautiful eulogy

Me too. ❤

You mean as a friend? Yea that be nice

@@Pfirtzer wtf??? What does this comment have to do with anything? Show some respect, and keep your unhappiness to yourself

@@Pfirtzer Believe me, everyone wants that men and women alike, but people are damaged, like yourself. You are not speaking rationally, but as a damaged person, that has felt rejected. That's why you "gave up on women." Maybe you need to look at people with understanding, realizing that you're not perfect, nobody is. Also, as the above comment reminds you, this is a eulogy, maybe it's not the best place for self-pity.

@@evenstar4076 You are wrong, I healed myself and don't need someone to waste time on. I just care for no1: ME. Women are nagging too much and at the end not worth wasting your time and emotions on.

@@Pfirtzer Okay, that's fine. I won't try to convince you otherwise. There's nothing wrong with being single. Just don't go whining about it on UKposts because being bitter is a result of being emotional. I, for one, consider myself a logical person, you don't see me whining about how much I hate men on UKposts, do you? Some men are logical, but you certainly are not one of them.

What a lovely comment 😊 ❤️ and every word I would have said. You're right, I also thought their relationship would have turned into a real-life love story. They made a perfect couple in the film. I just wish they had made it real. This is the qst time I've come across this speech, and wow... That's what you call a speech, Kevin Costner, your speech about Whitney was so heartfelt, may she R.i.E.P. Godbless ❤

In an ideal world, I can see that... but since he said the game was rigged, I pretty much can understand why they choose not (if they choose).

Fully agree - unfortunately it might have been the wrong time - both on their way up. Even Kevin might have had many wifes - they seem just to have passed his way but not deeply enough

I fully agree that he could have oetgrctky coached her and brought her but think he did not fully realize his influence on her and was busy to proceed his own career

⁠​⁠@@sharonblack1470😮

Wasn't it!

@Wayne96819 right.. when they went to the wide pan at 16:00 and I see jesse jackson sitting to the left im like -_-

@Wayne96819 yea i.didn't get that, he was uninterested.. It was disappointing.

Are we really surprised? If it’s not about him he’s not that interested.

😞🥺

Same. It's the way it relates to me. These are my people in my heart, even though I never met them. I know they have hearts like mine- soft inside and caring.

I’m watching Yellowstone and fell in love with his acting and led me to watch the bodyguard 😭❤️

@@AlonayRodrigo Tin Cup would be a good one watch if you find the time, that's one of my favorite movies of his. The Bodyguard was one of those movies I watched over and over again as a kid and the soundtrack/album for the movie is something I still listen to today.

Not only a gentleman, but a true friend!

Me too ❤️

That says alot

Kevin was just doing a movie a beautiful movie he did not intentionally fall in love with her the heart is much deeper than anything else he did not leave his wife for her

I think they had not been experienced and old enough to realize what they had at this time

@@barbarasander2811how old was she when they did that movie??? I have to google it because everyone looked so mature back in the day

​@@riz-rq9wrКто-то говорил 28лет было ей

Platonic

SO VERY TRUE

A great emotional speech. I thin that Costner is an respectable person. I agree with you.

he was madly in love with Whitney

Agreed

Zehra aa yes! he spoke from his heart and meant every single word❤

Kevin Costner is someone I aspire to be like in regards to integrity

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

but does not help if the one part desperately needs it and just gets letters

"Off you go Whitney, off you go".

Thank you for your love and support

Yes he did we all loved her she was a beautiful women and best singer there ever was

I came here because of the Whitney Houston movie I watched with my wife. I've always liked Kevin Costner (even as Robin Hood!), but I though he did a really good job here.

Same

Same. I can't even watch The Bodyguard anymore 😢

what is the galaxy ball

I've watched it and cried many times

Amen!

Amen💝🙏🏻

Well-spoken. I never heard it put like this before.

🙏🏼❤️

Why some ppl always gotta bring race into everthing?!

Deep ? In what sense

@@lovehonestmen3445 They'd known each other since childhood. It was a true friendship where each loved the other.

@@therafonreport3847 They didn't know each other from childhood!! He said they had somethin in common: they grew up in Baptist Church.

He really did...

He loved her heart, body, and soul. I think they were soulmates, just not destined to be together, unfortunately.

@@Locktwiste72 God give us free Will to chose our destiny

@@Locktwiste72 she definitely chose the worst path in her life bonding with that monster. That wasn't true love.

I wish Whitney had never met Bobby Brown.

@@sharonjensen3016 sadly she was into bad boys... he isn't even handsome Dx

Hey man, you know if she had married a man of this calibre she would've been just fine..x

You said it brother.

Constantly complementing a woman?

Dudebro13454 Bro Adulterer? What are you saying? How do you know?

Dudebro13454 Bro You have no class whatsoever talking to a woman like that. Grow up.

...probably someone that is still grieving the loss of Whitney...no one could say the right words to comfort when I felt that way... I was mad at everyone ... everything...💜

when all else fails…Encourage Confide & never give up on yourself

Beautiful speech. Heartwarming.

Hi, I'm David by name and I'm sure we can be great friends if you give me a chance. Are you interested in having me as your friend? I live alone and sometimes feel lonely. I would love to have someone to talk to and get to know better. I apologize for jumping into your comment this way.

You are so right....

He dont need nots or paper the only notes he need is from the heart and thats it

I hada do a eulogy a few times. One of them I based a large part of it from this speech.

Me too. I remember watching this when it aired, I happened to turn on the tv at the same exact time he came on. What he said was so sweet, he helped us all with what he said. what he said was the perfect blend of friendship, love and humor. I have so much gratitude for his beautiful stories here!

I agree with that

That's awesome

+MetricButtload met him in San Antonio, Texas. He paid the tab for a bunch of my Army friends and I and talked to us for a little while. he was far more interested in what we did in the military than talking about himself. This was in 1997 and he was just a nice guy that you could picture yourself hanging out with from time to time.

so good to hear this as I have always liked him...from first film I saw Silverado..

MetricButtload ur lucky

I meet the guy who did the props and everything in dances with wolves he said Kevin was a total asshole and wanted his way but you know what it's his opinion Kevin is a wonderful actor and singer plus after this he is kind hearted and don't mention he helped build the oil thing for the oil spill that tells you something Kevin who cares what your so called not fans say it's there opinion we love you keep it up.

It is sad, knowing how she carried such a heavy burden of expectation that ultimately played a part in her leaving this world far too soon.

@@queenesther09 She did not carried a heavy burden, and it did not played a part of nothing. She did what she did as simple as that.

Where is that documentary available?

I’ve not watched Yellowstone. Must do that. This man’s tribute was beautiful and heart wrenching.

Is this the documentary that you are talking about? ukposts.info/have/v-deo/h3OigI-BgoWTq2g.html

#metoo

I'm still intrigued as to why Whitney's mum and aunt asked Kevin to speak. They must have known Whitney had a more then ordinary connection with Kevin, couldn't find anything on Cissy or Dionne talking about kevin in any interviews.

Welll said real friendship is price6

They asked him to speak because they wanted him to be her bodyguard in real life. But he really was fond of her

I've always felt that way about Kevin Costner (and the movie "The Bodyguard" reflects a special part of my life, also).

@@TheFailedmessiah He never had an type of security or military training for them to consider wanting him to be her "bodyguard" I think it had more to do with the fact that he himself vouched for her for the role when everyone was dead set against it when they had acclaimed actresses waiting to audition for the role. She had no actor training under her belt and The bodyguard was her breakout role that solidified her as an "actress". They asked him to speak because he did have some affections for her that grew over their time of filming but being a good man he was married and so was she so he respected those boundaries and never allowed anyone to take advantage of her.

This makes me cry

Being Pamela Musiimenta I can see that he loved Whitney! What a heartfelt tribute. I’ve watched it over and over. ❤️😪

Same here and i watch it everytime it comes on.

Their chemistry was definitely beyond acting. Even this speech proclaims his admiration and solid undiluted love for her.

At the end of the day... this makes me wonder, do people end up with their fairytales or they let go of people they love the most and move on with second best options?

@@musiimenta123456789 a few do, but a lot don't. And sometimes its just bad timing too and many other reasons, its sad but thats life, and a lot of people fail to see who was really there for them and who cared for them the most. in Kevin and Whitney's case I think it was just bad timing and if they had met say 5 years before and both were single, things would have been different. But youre right, i think these 2 were perfect together, and i think it would of been a match that whitney's family would truely embrace seeing as they were both quite religious and grew up in the same church.

As time goes on she shines brighter and brighter.

You are so right it still hurts .

I too thought I was done crying over Whitney 😭 Love her so much 💕🌈❤️☀️☀️🙏🎶🎶🎵🎶☀️🌅☀️☀️☀️☀️

Bobby Brown fueled her destruction.

If only Whitney had ALLOWED HERSELF to believe that she was…

exactly, he got her. that was the most honest speech of the whole funeral.

😢

I truly felt that he was totally inlove with her. Hes such a handsome man. Very genuine ,respectful,and a class act... I wish they got together they made a beautiful couple. If she got with kevin she would stll be alive.🤧🤧🤧🤧

My heart ❤😭

@@erasedfromgenepool.4845 Wasn't he married to his wife when he worked with Whitney?

Then how come he never impregnated her? He should have lifted her up & go to Vegas and marry her.

@@cozettem8226 yes he was!

Kevin saw something in Whitney that others didn't. The one person who believes in you is worth more than a dozen naysayers.

All very true what you say Neil

He adored her. He loved every bone in her xx

Yes he truly did!

Yeah😥

You cannot tell me that this man didn't love Whitney Houston on a deeper level. If only they had turned their Bodyguard love story into real life!

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

samoin ajattelen,I think that love was there always, rakastivathan he toisiaan,muutoin ei olis tää leffa niin kaunis rakkaustarina, lovestory,Kevin loves Whitney always :)

Logan Carter I think he was her true love as well....

Logan Carter " YES "

Logan Carte

I think so I think they had a thing going on or something but who cares Kevin gave a great speech

I did too. 😭

I cried so much I got the cold after.

Tragedy that she was already messed up on drugs. No matter how much he might have wanted to that was something no amount of love can fix. It saddened me that she endured such abuse in her personal relationship.

Wow!!! Such a touching, fitting powerful eulogy to Whitney!! Had me crying...

Tom Hibbert he was amazing here. She was amazing.

Costner had alan rickman scenes cut from robin hood because he was blown off the screen

+BRAD PITT he love him some Whitney Houston!! "😊😞😢

+Yvonne Robinson I heard that Brad Pitt had a crush on Whitney

Es Gee ❤❤❤

AMEN YOU SANG LIKE AN ANGEL NOW YOUR IN HEAVEN WITH JESUS AMEN !!!!!

Es Gee awe that's nice of you to say.

You just made me cry.....I totally agree.

👋

Thank you for your love and support

One of the greatest speeches I've ever heard... Whitney will always be remembered across the world...she was/and will always be the greatest singer of all time. I wonder some days with what songs she would've shock the world RIP WH you were the greatest

The Words Off You Go, WHITNEY, Escorted by a Army of Angels are SO BEAUTIFUL. ❤❤❤

I too Love Whitney Houston she was a ICON and a lengendary singer of all times. We're missing you so much.but I'll always love you. "Rest In Peace my dear Icon.'

10 months ago. … did you find the Bodyguard and watch it??? Was it a beautiful movie?? I have to find it now to watch it. 🙂

If this was the man she had...yup.

For sure... 😢

Nobody wanted to see Kevin, white man with his black leading costar and it was a huge thing even back then. The black community didn't support it and neither did whites. Kevin was afraid of not only hurting his own career but couldn't deal with a drug addict not even long enough to call it an affair.

Naw Whitney chose her own fate by not being herself in the public eye😢. If Whitney didn't have the wrong people in her ear,or better yet, had sought guidance from the up most, she possibly could have been here today... GOD bless your soul Whitney Houston 🙏 ❤️

In the Netflix movie out now, she went to a Catholic school

He called her true love and prettiest girl several times. Heard this with my ears. He was inlove

HE LOVED HER!!! PURITY

I’m sure she would still be with us if she chose Kevin

​@@wecandothiswarriorsNo doubt in my mind she would be.

When Kevin said Whitney was his true love & regrets for not saving her, he was married. I wonder how his wife felt at the time because no man can say that lightly, unless he meant it. Is it normal for movie studio to wait a year for actors to accept a role?

@@Leira6267 Honestly I've never heard of a movie set waiting that long so in my opinion no it's not normal.

​@@Leira6267 yes and disrespectful to his wife. 😔
