Meet Yaya Dacosta. She is the lucky lady who was given the opportunity to play the legendary Whitney Houston in a new Lifetime movie. The trailer was released over the weekend and as most Lifetime biopic's go, there is already controversy....

For starter's Bobbi Kristina Brown put the movie's director, actress Angela Bassett on blast for not casting HER to play her mother Whitney. Also, they say Whitney's real voice is not used in the movie and many believe one of the best selling performers of all time, deserves more than just a tv movie. Whitney premieres on January 17th on Lifetime.
