YaYa DaCosta is slowly transforming into the woman known as the voice.

Former America’s Next Top Model contestant YaYa DaCosta is playing the role of a lifetime as the one and only Whitney Houston. Just one month ago, news broke that DaCosta was chosen to play the role, which also caused controversy between Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina and Houston’s friend & director of the film Angela Bassett.

DaCosta is no stranger to film as she made her film debut in the dance movie, Take The Lead back in 2006. She took a trip down memory as she strike a pose similar to Houston’s album, Whitney. The movie is set to air on Lifetime in 2015. This movie seems like it’s going to be a success.
