    There is no black and white when it comes to pure unadulterated love. Kevin Costner is a great man. This brought me to tears
  • @jojojojo-si6vw
    The way Kevin stood for her against the movie moguls. The way he treated her before, during, and after the film was done, speaks for itself, loud and clear. Whitney was his one true love!

    I watched it today 16-05-2024 and I still cry and what a great speech you have given for our Whitney ….you sing up in heaven like the angels do.

    This is what happens when a true storyteller expresses his love. What a beautiful tribute.

    "Escorted by an army of angels to your Heavenly father, when you sing before him, don't you worry coz you will be good enough " That melted my heart.

    It's been 30 yrs since "The Bodyguard" and this Man still loves you...as a matter of fact...He has never stopped loving you...and He will always be in love with you. Whitney you are greatly missed!!!
  • Probably the BEST Eulogy I've ever heard anywhere for anyone. That wasn't an actor, that was the REAL Kevin Costner.......
  • @brianvincent655
    He may be one of the most underrated actors of his time but his humanity shines like a beacon. What a beautiful speech.

    Whenever a man tries to hold back his tears you know its deep, when he said "when you stand before god and sing for him don't worry trust me you'll be good enough" the tears came hard and fast.
  • I am watching this 11 years later, and my heart breaks for Kevin. He’s just been going through an acrimonious divorce and child custody case and it breaks my heart to see such a good man, a really good man, tossed aside, because he’s no longer “good” enough. This tribute to Whitney tells us a great deal about him and the kind of man he is. I’m sending a prayer for him to lift him up so he could feel the love and succor him. 🙏

    An utterly sincere speech. He really did this with honour.
  • Get yourself someone who loves you as much as Kevin Costner loves Whitney Houston.

    I think she will always remain the example of the finest female vocalist. There's many great singers but her voice activates emotion like no other. She's one in 8 billion.

    This eulogy still gets to me, all these year's later. Rip Whitney.
  • 2023, and STILL this gets me in the feels. Kevin is an amazing actor, person and great friend of the Houston family. Amazing speech.

    700 people who disliked will never understand the beauty of friendship, love and companionship
  • @CRJR94
    I think he truly loved her.
  • In the age of hired speechwriters, u know this one was not. He wrote every line and delivered them with great love and tenderness. How fitting that he was asked and accepted he could feel that the whole world wanted to hear from him about his great friend and love. That no tribute from anyone else could be as moving. Two class acts.
