A shockingly candid look into the private life of one of the world's most famous vocalists. Whitney: Mama's Little Baby takes one through the joy, the love, the music, the pain and the torment that all too often comes with fame.

Seen through the eyes of her child, Whitney's high-strung antics are fueled by a constant flow of liquor and crack, making the most common of every day events highly dramatic and hilariously uncomfortable.

Though Whitney loves her crack pipe, she almost equally loves her child who is always with her, if for no other reason than to provide Whitney with someone to talk to (especially if that person cannot yet talk back). Together they face the world, which never seems to understand them or adhere to their needs, which are vast and constant.

Motherhood is difficult enough, but with Whitney's psychological instability and her "need for speed," the everyday tasks of a motherhood become enormous, making her responsibilities seem like conflicts of global proportions.

Eventually, an intervention takes place with her famous relatives: Cissy, Dionne, Aretha and Natalie (all known by first names only; most of whom are famous and have substance abuse in their past).

Whitney may be prone to paranoid fits of rage and anguish, but she is always grounded by the presence of her child, whose unspoken words seem to remind Whitney (if only for a split second) that she is human and the world is not necessarily against her.

But with Whitney, it's always a roller coaster ride back and forth and as always, the real fun is in getting there, wherever that is.
