Whitney Houston was excited to remake the movie ‘Sparkle’ that inspired her during her youth. Sadly, when the diva finally got her wish, the film became the final project of her career before her sudden passing.

Of course, given the shabby condition of her voice during the final years of her life, many of Houston’s fans wondered if she had the potential to bring the character of Emma to life.

Also starring Jordin Sparks, ‘Sparkle’ is set to debut in August. Watch the preview of the movie, in which Houston actually displayed husky yet impressive vocals, below:
