Internet commentary is a cruel mistress, which 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina has undoubtedly learned already in her young life.
So we won’t editorialize too much on the vocal stylings of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s sole offspring—who, like a thousand other anonymous teenagers with Adele crushes and iCameras in their bedrooms, probably didn’t mean this for mass music-critic consumption.
(Though she did post it to her Twitter account, which has a perhaps-slightly-above-anonymous-average 7,000+ followers). Anyhow, here she is, covering the current no. 1 song in the country, “Someone Like You”:
What do you think, readers — does she seem on the path to following in her parents’ musical footsteps, or is this just the after-school goof of any teenager?

Wouldnt even make it through the first set of auditions on Idol. And I cant understand how she can have that gap in her teeth…Wow…not being cruel…just shocked, but I guess if your parents smoke crack, why would they worry about what their kids’ teeth look like?
She got Bobby’s gap .
She really NEEDS TO CLOSE that tooth gap ASAP!!! It just really looks too awful and weird, and it really gives her a bad image considering the father she has. Lovin’ ur dad isn’t the thing, you need to NOT look nor act like him if he’s had a bad rap! The last thing I wanna look like is someone who’s been in jail all the time, especially if I desire to have a career ahead of my life, ya know whattamean? Please, bobbi, get braces and close that damn gap!!!! ASAP!!!!!!

I love her and Inter-RacialDating.com was amazing
Who cares you have got something ugly from your parents too anybody cares? Hate is really bad get a life!!!!
Stop lying she’s actually OK..but the gap that’s another story.
Who are you to judge? Look at yourself first I am sure you have no talent at all poor thing!!!!
You idiot to say things like that!!! Find yourself better job to do!!!!
Who I am to judge? Get real. Any parent wants whats best for their kids, and to do for them what they never had. Any responsible parent, that at one point in thei child’s life had money to spend woulda been smart and got this girl braces to fix that gap that she’ll now have for life. If you think I’m hateful for saying that, how irresponsible are Bobby & Whitney? OH WAIT, we have a reality series to proove that. Anyone that signs up for a reality tv series is also signing their life away and are entitled to ALL the accompanying inappropriate comments that come with it. What world do you live in?
There is nothing wrong with the Gap in her teeth that’s how God made her .In my opinion she can sing and so what if Whitney did Smoke Crack she is still a legend you people are always lookin for negativity.Lets focus on positive things and stop being so damn cruel I bet you also have flaws we just can’t see ya to point them out.
shes not that bad, in fact shes decent, not great, but has potential. Definitely not deserving of the harsh criticism. I hope this motivates her to work on her voice and she comes back and blows everyone away.
Lord hep. As much as I adore Houston’s voice, truly one of the great pop singers, I don’t know that I can handle more of this family’s nonsense.
She got her daddy’s teeth…
EW is a known Whitney hater so I expect this stupid post! She is 18 and she sounds pretty good. She is sining acapella with no studio equipment, music and through cheap computer speakers.
She was able to stay on the beat and in tune and put her own unique spin on it. Give her a few more years. There is definitely talent there.
She’s not bad. With a vocal coach & staying away from drugs, she can actually be very good.
Well, might be a too-later-er for the drug issue….she’s already in the bad mix of that stuff. She needs to not ever touch the damn stuff ever in her life, never touch alcohol and stay away from cigarettes. ALL of those things will screw up your voice!!! And all of those things will screw up your damn life!!!! I never once worried about copying other people, for I knew they could never give me eternal life, and they would never pay my bills; so why even bother with “friends”? Right!
I agree that she has talent. Stop making this kid a target because of her parents’ antics. You made it sound like it was horrible, but she has raw talent and sounded pretty good to me. Leave this young lady alone and let her find her way in life!
Ok I am with you on this one!!!!!!!
She was awful and was barely on key. The public has been so dumbed down to crap, that something horrible is now considered good.
EW what do you mean ‘sort of sings’. I have ears and that was singing to me. Quit being ridiculous and cruel which you are being.
She sounds fine. I don’t even think that she was giving it her all.
It aight! but with such big shoes 2 fill she should find anther field! acting …something else..don’t quit school !
She’s got a decent voice. If she worked on it I bet she would awesome.
Couldn’t her parents afford braces??? She is def bobby’s child
she sounds pretty good. Not bad.
Bobbi Kristina has potential, but honestly it takes a heavy shadow to step into her mom Whitney, a living legend, and her dad Bobby Brown from New Edition. Hopefully, with a bit of time, she can follow those heavy footseps.
Not bad. I can’t sing, so who am I to judge. But I agree with some of the comments above – with guidance she has potential. However, she is no Whitney. Hell! Whitney’s not even Whitney anymore.
I find it appalling that a bunch of adults at their computers at work are commenting on and making fun of a teenage girl’s appearance.
Is this your first day online Jalal???
A Nightmare! A shrill sounding bad dream. Seriously. Go to school and get a career not in singing.
I think she will be an awesome talent. People should not judge her by her parents misfortunes, She definitely needs braces. Where were her parents when she was growing up?
