In an upcoming movie about her life, late singer Whitney Houston's voice will not be heard. However, it will reportedly feature the singing legend's music.

The movie will also not feature songs by Yaya DaCosta, the former hopeful for "America's Next Top Model", who is playing Houston in the film.

"I can exclusively reveal that Houston's songs will be sung by ... R&B singer Deborah Cox! Music rights and clearances are still being worked out, but Cox will be providing the vocal tracks," eonline.com quoted a source as saying.

It was announced in May that Angela Bassett would make her directorial debut with the Lifetime original movie about the late singer. The movie is said to be focusing on Houston's relationship with Bobby Brown.
