In the FINAL part of our Whitney Houston “My Love is Your Love” (1998) extravaganza, Angie and Steffi continue their deep dive into the era. We discuss all the promo Whitney & Mariah did for “When You Believe”, Whitney’s appearance at a Pride event, the iconic music videos, Super Tuesday and of course, the legacy of the “My Love is Your Love” album & era. Has Steffi’s feelings evolved since episode 1? We shall see.

This is the second part of our era breakdown and the final part of our “My Love is Your Love” discussion.

In our Era Breakdown episodes, we touch on so many topics like career context, controversies/scandals of the era, marketing, music videos, live performances, album stats, and the album & era’s ultimate impact and legacy. For this episode, we continue breaking down Whitney Houston’s “My Love is Your Love” era. We talk all about Whitney & Mariah’s “When You Believe” promo and ponder if they truly look like the lesbian couple Twitter wants them to be. We then get into our favorite music videos from the era and Whitney’s memorable live performances. Steffi manages to weave in Todd Haynes to discussion and we reflect on the legacy of this album & era in Whitney’s career and overall narrative.

Again, this is the final part of our 4-part conversation and part 2 of 2 of the era breakdown.
