All that Sparkles is not Whitney ...



It has been almost two months since Whitney Houstons untimely passing and true to industry form the producers of Whitney's last motion picture "Sparkle"have just released the official trailer to the movie which is only set for US release in August.

The movie, if the trailer is anything to go by, seems boring.com! It will no doubt do amazingly at the box office world wide however, mostly due it being crazed fans last glimpse into the life of their ever iconic diva before she really and truly is gone. It also stars idol winner Jordin Sparks and Cee-Lo.

While she was still alive, many a music site and blog raved about Whitney's rendition of the classic gospel ballad "His eye is on the sparrow" but do not be mislead folks, her version is about as dry as they come. The undisputed best version of the song still remains Lauryn Hill's cover  and you would do well to give her version a listen instead.

Have a listen to Whitney's take:
