Backtalk With Jordin Sparks
What was it like working with Whitney Houston? Amazing, because I grew up singing her songs. Then working with her as the executive producer and playing my mom, I was beside myself. We had a blast together. She was just fun to hang around, not a supernova diva. Of course she had that presence, but she was quick-witted and really funny. Then to watch her put on her producer hat, go behind [the camera] and make suggestions was [an experience]. Just seeing how she was always herself and how she had gone through things, but she was never afraid of what had happened in the past. She was always about [marching] forward and that was a great reminder to me.
