Whitney Houston: Belting Out the Best Viewing Options in the UK
Ah, Whitney Houston. The voice of a generation, the hair of a goddess, and a life story that's both powerful and heartbreaking. You, my friend, have a hankering to revisit her magic on the silver screen, but where do you even begin? Fear not, fellow Whitney fanatic, for I, your trusty internet oracle (with questionable fashion sense compared to Ms. Houston), am here to guide you through the glorious labyrinth of streaming services in the UK!
Hold Up, Isn't There Just One Whitney Houston Movie?
Actually, there are two contenders vying for your attention. First up, we have the documentary simply titled "Whitney," a warts-and-all look at the singer's life. If you're a die-hard fan, this is a must-watch, but be prepared for some emotional gut punches.
Then there's the brand new biopic, "Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody." This one promises a more celebratory tone, focusing on Whitney's rise to superstardom and those unforgettable hits.
Alright, Enough with the History Lesson, How Do I Watch These Things?
Glad you asked! Let's break it down service by service:
-
Amazon Prime Video: Buckle up, Prime members! You can actually rent both Whitney movies on Prime Video. "Whitney" is a rental only, but "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" also offers the option to buy it outright.
-
NOW TV: Calling all budget-conscious Whitney worshippers! NOW TV has you covered with "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" available through their Cinema Membership. Just remember, it's a subscription service, so make sure you belt out enough Whitney tunes to justify the cost.

Important Side Note: Always Double-Check Availability!
The streaming gods are fickle creatures, and what's available in one territory might vanish faster than Bobby Brown at a microphone stand. So, before you get your credit card ready, double-check that the movie you want is actually available on the platform you choose.
There You Have It, Folks!
Now you're armed with the knowledge to choose your Whitney Houston viewing adventure. So grab your snacks, settle in, and prepare to be dazzled by the voice, the music, and the enduring legacy of Whitney Houston. And remember, if you hear strange noises coming from your house, that's just me attempting a Whitney power ballad in the shower. You've been warned!
