I saw her at Wembley Arena London, I was right at the back and couldn't believe how powerful and clear her voice was. The only recording artist I saw live who delivered exactly what was on disc. We miss you Whitney.
I saw her in Tobago in jazz festival, and that was after all her trials, snd she still sounded wonderful, sk imagine if i had seen her in her prime, i felt like i was high on music, i miss her, but thank god her music lives on RIP WH
That's perhaps true. Nevertheless, she is very far from the caliber of Whitney and still falls short in the totality of the number of awards our Whitney had.
@@bonifaceonuh2499 Yes she is below Whitney's caliber but in reality she does indeed have way more awards than Whitney, Celine or even Adele for that matter which is why I said and I'll say again these award shows are bogus and full of crap.
@@taylorkendricks599 the awards include more variables than only a voice: popularity, show value, other competition at that time, timespan of a career. Whitney is just THE voice.
Ive gone on about her unrivaled live singing skills. This fact is unarguable, she is the greatest recording vocal ever committed to tape, digital you name it. The clarity and width of her tone will never be heard again in my lifetime and the way modern music going maybe never again. Her recording voice was one in a billion.
Since I'm not black I don't want to speak on how some black people felt about Whitney in the 80s. But since I am white I feel reasonably qualified discussing how the vast majority of young white people felt about her in the 80s. Most white kids in the 80s usually had a specific genre that they identified with. New wave kids only listened to new wave, country kids only listened to country, headbangers only listened to heavy metal and hard rock. Whitney was one of the few artists who we all listened to. She made me feel alive as a kid in the 80s, she still does. There's no words to describe what she means to me.
Bottom line if you liked this type of music which she sang with gusto than you absolutely loved Whitney Elizabeth Houston💖 Frankly a lot of people might say that it was the Black community that ruined her! Especially when she first stepped on the music scene. They said she “Wasn’t Black enough & that she was a sell out!” Her response which is just as iconic as she is was simply put.. “I don’t know how to sing Black or White! I just know how to sing” But maybe just maybe if she didn’t get so much of that dumb shit from the Black community and get booed at the Soul Train Awards.. She wouldn’t have felt the need to act out the way she did! Or marry the grittiest hood rat she could!! Maybe she might have ended up with Kevin Costner and she’d still be here?! Happy & still making hit after hit?! RIP Whitney Elizabeth Houston💟✝️
Whitney was for everybody, not this ethnicity clause; spirit does not know color and she was spiritual to the umph degree.. I know I witnessed as young one.
I’m a gypsy from Budapest, Hungary. My family introduced me to Whitney and she’s the greatest singer of all time. There’s no one who could hit those notes like Whitney!
Whitney Houston in the 80's was unreal. There was little to no effort behind that voice which made her extremely unique and better than the rest. I wish I could open my mouth and have THAT come out of it. Such a wide range and clear sound. Unlimited vocal capabilities. Only in my dreams. I like how she ended the song and played with it.

He doesn't have the same quality. Michael is a good singer and a great entertainer (although I prefer Whitney as an entertainer too, but I can understand why people prefer Michael given his spectacular shows). Michael had a longer career than Whitney but at the height of her popularity Whitney was very, very popular. Everybody knows Michael is not the best singer as in the number one ever. Of course he still is a good singer and his songs are very popular. He is a great entertainer and one of the most popular artist of all time.
in my opinion, Whitney & Michael have the best voices of all time. For Whitney, it's obvious why. for Michael, he had a very distinct voice, absolutely different from every other singer. it's hard to describe.
+metamorphosis743 he wasn't saying that Michael Jackson WASN'T a good singer... Clearly he had a legendary career. But as far as vocal prowess, Whitney far surpassed him. It was what she was famous for. Where MJ's shows were flashy and grand, with a lot of dance moves (and lip-syncing), Whitney's were more simple and intimate: just her on stage with a mic. They were two very different artist, both talented and icons in their own right.

@@Swahili14 I totally agree, i can talk about Whitney’s voice in the 80s all day. Arguable Whitneys voice was unmatched, no one was singing like her. especially, the songs from the Whitney Album, they were pop in nature, but a work of art vocally. She knew that which made it even better. cuz once Whitney’s voice touched it, it became a completely different song. IWALY can be difficult at times but i’ve seen it done beautifully by other artist through the years. But Her other singles are really difficult to sing. they are extremely vocally taxing and you have to at least have 3 octave range and sing comfortably at C#5. the only person who could do that was Michael Jackson, and that was when he was 11 😂. once he became a teen his vocal range became less and less. but yeah lol i love whitney
No singer is perfect in every corner...some might say that even Morissette with her amazing rich tone would surpass Whitney in that area...& lets also remember that apparently Whitney could not reach that whistle register that a good handful of todays top vocalists can?
The injustice has been corrected these days: Whitney entered The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I will always and only remember a girl with a wide smile, a divine voice and positive energy.
Whitney Houston is untouchable. despite her issues she graced us with an amazing presence, an unbelievable talent, and a beautiful face like no other. There is not a single artist living now or within the next 500 years that will ever compare to this woman say what you want about her she was the best ever.
@@cynthiadickerson5403Yeah- & she was demonized for it. She was demonized whenever she didn't fit into the exact mould made for her by yt America... "if only you loved yourself like we loved you" 🙄 they clearly have absolutely no self awareness at all
Little known fact: Mick Jagger (lead singer of the Rolling Stones) sat in the recording session for this song and said he was amazed by how perfect Whitney's vocals were on each take of the song.
Hadi Hatab yeah fashion styles just recycles itself. Like now the 40’s and 50’s style silouhette dresses are having a comeback.... anyways still can’t get over the fact that she died the way she did .... 🙏🏼❤️😔
Growing up in the 80's and the first half of the 90's makes you feel privileged. It was pure magic, everything looked new and original even the bad hairstyles and ridiculous clothes!
I saw her live on July 6, 1991 at Blockbuster Pavilion in Charlotte, NC. This was just six months after her national anthem performance at the Super Bowl, and just over a year before The Bodyguard was released. Anyone around at the time knows The Bodyguard put her into the stratosphere with the likes of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Prince. It firmly cemented her as a legend. Simply amazing. It's funny that at the time, you don't completely understand the greatness you are witnessing. You know they are great, but history has not yet unfolded to fully understand it.
There was only one Whitney. The early Whitney was the best. No one could touch her in vocal power range and notes, as well as beauty. She had it all. Clive Davis knew the players to put it all in one package. When I saw her for the first album tour I had one word... " Wow ". I saw her again during the Bobby Brown days, but the snap and pop was gone. She was great anyway. She was Whitney.
Those harmonies on the chorus. The vocal for this song just isn't talked about enough. It's insane. Imagine having to get up behind a mic and sing this.
Her power and tone was so crystal clear which almost feels like AI. When someone sings with that much power usually have some texture or rasp but Whitney’s voice literally paired clarity and power at the same time with soul and riffs and runs. NO ONE I heard can sing like this or close to it. the only person in history who could do this was michael jackson at the age of 11. once he turned into a teenager that stopped.
+metamorphosis743 I know and I respect the legacy left by MJ and I see and appreciate it, too. But we're talking about Whitney here because it's a Whitney video.
Needed to feel thirty-two again, ahhh those were days beyond belief. I find it hard to believe it was true. Living on top the world, feet never touched the ground, we flew like birds to her voice and soared into the heavens. You would've of agreed had you been there too. Blessed be you.
Wasn't crazy about pop music growing up but at 52, hearing Whitney's singing again is a sublime experience. The world has been robbed of an amazing artist and all of her would be vocal finery. The loss is great.
My mom loves Whitney - I grew up listening to her, and love her too. I miss Whitney’s beautiful, smiling face, her passionate voice, and warm personality. “The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.” RIP Whitney, gone too soon 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Who needs to grow old when their music "lives forever".........Whitney Houston's entitled songs gets people (from all walks of life) in the mood, every time we are emotional!!!!!
She hit the charts and stayed there, until the point came where we all wish she'd made a couple of different choices. I always point to her when someone talks about who they think can really sing. Miss you, Whitney.
Notice the people talking crap about Whitney don't know her, nor can they sing like her, nor do we even know their name. Whitney is THE VOICE. Period. I am devastated how she died, and what this life did to her...but one thing will always remain true...NO ONE can sing like Whitney. NO ONE.
Cooper27: "THE VOICE" was Frank Sinatra! Period! Almost his entire long career! If Whitney was "the voice" it was only for around 10 years. She was an incredible voice, singer, professional! YES, she was! The best female voice/artist ever, it's a bit stretchy, don't you think?!
I’m 41 and have been listening to this legend since I’m 5. Her style, class, and music is timeless. No one will ever compare or even come close to this magnificent master of a woman.
Compare that to the pop stars today who have to have all their body parts hanging out just to keep up with each other and to give us some good but not great songs. Here. Whitney Houston kept in classy. Kept her clothes on and gave us great music that will always be remembered
The energy, passion, energy, instrumentation & of course her beautiful voice........ thats why this tune is my all time favorite of all time by Queen Whitney.
She doesn't need to be alive to teach young singers and aspirants.... Whitney Houston is a worldwide legend and vocal standard. Nothing comes close to her league. She's far the best female voice in music history. Thank you God for giving us Whitney Houston. I guess you needed her more!
Drugs did not take over her life. They were a part of her life like many celebrities. Her legacy is Unmatched. She has 7 Consecutive #1 hits-No other artist in History has this. She is Forever The Queen of Pop
@@humbaba2762 : The cause of death was found to be drowning; Chronic cocaine abuse and heart disease are believed to have contributed to her death. Her death overshadowed the 2012 Grammy Awards ceremony, also in Beverly Hills, the following night.
The statement should’ve been not that drugs took over her life but that regardless of her talent fame success and beauty she still had a hole in her heart and used drugs to fill it. It’s never about the why always about the action. People don’t become addicted for no reason..
Let us be clear here on a couple of things. Both Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston are in my opinion, the 2 greatest performers the music industry has ever known, as they both were charismatic, electrifying and possessed a unique kind of mystique. If anything, Michael was probably a better dancer than Whitney. But even that is debatable, as Whitney over the years, developed her own unique dance moves and style. In addition, we have to remember that Michael's dancing was highly regimented, while Whitney's was more spontaneous. However, there is one indisputable fact which is that Whitney is the most talented, gifted and greatest singer that ever lived!! Why do I say that? Simple. No one can match( equal) her raw power, tremendous range and unbelievable control, all of which speak only to her vocal prowess. When we add to her God given vocals, other outstanding qualities she possessed such as grace, elegance, stunning natural beauty and the emotional( as distinct from physical) energy she packs into her songs, we really are talking about the entire package and perfection!! The fact that she has no equal when it comes to singing has been confirmed and substantiated not only by her fans, but equally by her peers, aspiring singers, music industry veterans and most significantly, the world's top music producers. Here is how some of the world's best producers have described her talent:)] L.A. Reid: Whitney was the gold standard. " Baby Face" : The greatest singer of all time. Michael Narada Walden: Says her has never experienced in any other singer, the raw power, tremendous range and self a confidence he observed in Whitney. He also said that when one combines Whitney's elegance, stunning beauty, control and her ability to transition effortlessly between chest and delicate head voice, with her tremendous range and raw power, results in a package in a singer that is very rare!! Hers was a rare and unparalled talent, and it is no surprise that she is known as "the voice!". She is indeed the greatest singer that ever lived, on the basis of objective criteria! Baulbeer Persaud
not only that...I was a teen during her time and I remember hearing her songs at that time as if it were yesterday, and I liked them. Today I can't get enough. We are/were lucky to hear her at her peak and be able to live in the times she existed and became the worlds top female singer of all time. We are so lucky to be alive when she came to prominence. Lucky. Lucky. Lucky. I know she'll be in Heaven.
Performances like these are what set this diva apart from all other aspirants to the prestigious title of the voice and the gold standard. Her belts, vibrato and seamless transitions between head and chest voices are incredible. In addition, as a live performer, few can test her appeal, charisma and intense electricity! This live performance is just one example of why this queen of the divas was, is and will always remain untouchable! I always loved quality music, but the vocal prowess, stunning beauty, magnetic appeal and unparalleled emotive ability, among other rare attributes have converted me to an addict to her amazing musical brand known as the " gold standard!" I also have to indicate how well this performance highlighted her unique lyrical phrasing for which she was well known. Love you Whitney and always will !! R.I.P
Talk about giving one' s all in a live performance- - it is always everything( all of her) , 120%. What more can one ask for. This legend truly loved not only what she did better than anyone else in her profession ( sing), but no one, even her worst enemy), can deny that she loved and valued her fans immensely! It showed and is there for all to see. Whitney, you are missed and will always be - you are that special !!
Great imaginative lyrics, music and beautiful harmonic mixing. Nothing artificial and she was stunningly beautiful without having to use her sex appeal to be so. If only music was still like this. So naturally talented and gifted. So sad what happened to her. Same for the likes of MJ too. And in the acting world Heath Ledger and Robin Williams. The most talented often seem to be the most troubled it's so sad. She was nothing short of iconic and a musical genius. Her amazing talent and music will never be forgotten.
God how I remember when she hit the scene back in the day. Soooo beautiful. The energy she gave was contagious. Loved dancing to this song in high school.
I dont much listen to others, i fell in love in back in 85, alot of water under the bridge since then. Been living a dream it seems, and that one moment in time is when her voice pierced thru my heart, i had found my soulmate in song, forever more.

IWALY can be difficult at times but i’ve seen it done beautifully by other artist through the years. But Her other singles are really difficult to sing. they are extremely vocally taxing and you have to at least have 3 octave range and sing comfortably at C#5. the only person who could do that was Michael Jackson, and that was when he was 11 😂. once he became a teen his vocal range became less and less. but yeah lol i love whitney
I will never get sick of her voice. Ever.
Rosie Smith I adore Whitney like I'm just literally obsessed with her!
ME EITHER ‼SHE STILL ROCKS MY HEART & SOUL 4 EVER‼💜💜💜
@@twintina17OMG😮SO AM I😮4 EVER WHITNEY ELIZABETH HOUSTON-AKA NIPPY ‼ 💜💜💜😊
Wish you could come back Whitney, love you.
Don't worry Glennis Grace is here...the real deal?
No singer is perfect in every corner...some might say that even Morissette with her amazing rich tone would surpass Whitney in that area...& lets also remember that apparently Whitney could not reach that whistle register that a good handful of todays top vocalists can?
Thomas McGillivray thats why she was beautiful all around :)
But at least the recorded voice will always be with us eh?
ويتني هوستن
The injustice has been corrected these days: Whitney entered The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I will always and only remember a girl with a wide smile, a divine voice and positive energy.
VICTIM OF YANK SOCIETY
Whitney Houston is untouchable. despite her issues she graced us with an amazing presence, an unbelievable talent, and a beautiful face like no other. There is not a single artist living now or within the next 500 years that will ever compare to this woman say what you want about her she was the best ever.
And she can't be copied...many tried many failed obviously...she was unique and original ❤❤
2024, still a classic!!
What a great talent, she is missed by many. Her music always makes you think about your own relationships.
Eric Smith
fuck wad
Eric Smith shut up jackass
Truth hurts.
Ummm . . .? Really, people?
Eric Smith Let me get this straight, you come on this legend' site to call someone a crackhead. Evil little shit you.
One of my favorite MTV videos of 1987. I was 37 at this time & I wore out this cassette! Rest In Peace Whitney & Kristina 💋♥️💫🎤🌟
Did you buy cassettes (or perhaps vinyl records, CDs, etc) at JAMESWAY back in the day?
Whitney, if only you loved yourself the way we all love you ❤️ you’ll never truly die, youre a legend and legends NEVER die!
She did love herself, she had a substance addiction. Unless you have been there, you will never understand it.
kkkkk
@@cynthiadickerson5403Yeah- & she was demonized for it. She was demonized whenever she didn't fit into the exact mould made for her by yt America... "if only you loved yourself like we loved you" 🙄 they clearly have absolutely no self awareness at all
Little known fact: Mick Jagger (lead singer of the Rolling Stones) sat in the recording session for this song and said he was amazed by how perfect Whitney's vocals were on each take of the song.
no way!
Marquis Crews this is a Rock Song
Well she's incapable of nailing the chorus live so I'd doubt the truth of his statement!
I believe it...
@@Evangelistjo118 Have a listen to every live version of this song, she can't or won't do it.
Best female vocalist ever. What a woman.
No doubt
Totally agreed !!!!!!
❤
Leather jacket, tank top, high waisted skinny jeans and ankle booties, everything she’s wearing is stylish now.
Hello 2020🎤🎶
Ben Smith Shoulder pads have made a comeback and high waisted skinny jeans have been in style since 2013/2014.
Hadi Hatab yeah fashion styles just recycles itself. Like now the 40’s and 50’s style silouhette dresses are having a comeback.... anyways still can’t get over the fact that she died the way she did .... 🙏🏼❤️😔
I think it was always stylish no? I mean I remember trendy girls and guys wearing this in the 90's, 2000's and on.
Actually because the outfit is like the little black dress it never really goes out of style. It just evolves with the time
Whitney, Micheal, Celine, Mariah , Elvis these guys are leaders in their own league non can compare.
I wish I could go back in time and experience a concert like that myself..
***** I was at that concert and I recall Whitney looking amazing and her voice pristine. This was around the time of, "I'm Your Baby Tonight."
that concert was in the 80's ....im your baby tonight was in 90/91
You can do it with a Beyoncé a Concert
ogkush1916 90/91 ? Dude. Society was still stuck in the 80s.
😠 yooooooooo get
This has probably the greatest chorus vocal harmony of all time.
this woman can sang anything
Tina Burton オリビアニユウトンジヨン
Growing up in the 80's and the first half of the 90's makes you feel privileged. It was pure magic, everything looked new and original even the bad hairstyles and ridiculous clothes!
I literally can’t listen to this song without remembering Sasha Velour 🥀🥀
I saw her live on July 6, 1991 at Blockbuster Pavilion in Charlotte, NC. This was just six months after her national anthem performance at the Super Bowl, and just over a year before The Bodyguard was released. Anyone around at the time knows The Bodyguard put her into the stratosphere with the likes of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Prince. It firmly cemented her as a legend. Simply amazing.
It's funny that at the time, you don't completely understand the greatness you are witnessing. You know they are great, but history has not yet unfolded to fully understand it.
That must have one great concert!
Well said👍
@@jtaylor9562 Her music reminds me of the late 80s.
NO ONE can recreate this song!
3:32 long live the queen 👑
Whitney will always be the voice.
Doesn’t matter how many times I hear this song, I still get goosebumps 💗
she was so GORGEOUS & that VOICEEEEEEEEE THO 🌹🌹🌹
There was only one Whitney.
The early Whitney was the best.
No one could touch her in vocal power range and notes, as well as beauty. She had it all. Clive Davis knew the players to put it all in one package.
When I saw her for the first album tour I had one word...
" Wow ".
I saw her again during the Bobby Brown days, but the snap and pop was gone. She was great anyway.
She was Whitney.
So Emotional is the soundtrack to one of the worst murders ever broadcasted
R.I.P Shea Coulee
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED
IM GOOPED
She was something wasnt she
This is my 🍷 🎶.
Jordan Herrera JAJA ☕️
It's so beautiful listening to her harmonize with herself in the vocals, sounds so effortless to reach that higher pitch.
I always noticed the higher part of the backing. Amazing by itself.
@@eiddiegreen3826 Sure is!
That chorus!!!!!
Those harmonies on the chorus. The vocal for this song just isn't talked about enough. It's insane. Imagine having to get up behind a mic and sing this.
Ikr
No wonder she's THE VOICE 👑
Her power and tone was so crystal clear which almost feels like AI. When someone sings with that much power usually have some texture or rasp but Whitney’s voice literally paired clarity and power at the same time with soul and riffs and runs. NO ONE I heard can sing like this or close to it. the only person in history who could do this was michael jackson at the age of 11. once he turned into a teenager that stopped.
Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin are the best voices. Period.
My 12yr old daughter said: I've never ever heard such an amazing voice... ❣️
Great girl 😊
She is truly amazing
Hello how are you doing Linda
Your daughter has great taste in music
Your daughter isn't lying 😃😁😊😅
So glad that she chose to sing and not just model! I miss you, Ms Whitney!
I get so emotional thinking that Whitney is gone forever, and there will never be another Whitney Houston that will ever be born in this planet.
+metamorphosis743 I know and I respect the legacy left by MJ and I see and appreciate it, too. But we're talking about Whitney here because it's a Whitney video.
Of course , every artist is unique in his own way. There will never be another Whitney, but there still will be an another great artist some day
What an unparalleled voice, such an entertainer, when you watched her you knew you were watching someone special
Whitney brought me here!
HAHAHAH
@@ronymarcos2779 me too
Needed to feel thirty-two again, ahhh those were days beyond belief. I find it hard to believe it was true. Living on top the world, feet never touched the ground, we flew like birds to her voice and soared into the heavens. You would've of agreed had you been there too. Blessed be you.
Me too.
I remember singing this and working of the note pitches.
Wasn't crazy about pop music growing up but at 52, hearing Whitney's singing again is a sublime experience. The world has been robbed of an amazing artist and all of her would be vocal finery. The loss is great.
I completely agree.... 52 turning 53 soon and there will never be another female talent on Earth comparable to Whitney Houston💕💕 We were robbed😭
My mom loves Whitney - I grew up listening to her, and love her too. I miss Whitney’s beautiful, smiling face, her passionate voice, and warm personality. “The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.” RIP Whitney, gone too soon 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Whitney didnt need to dress up . She just sings!!!!! We all miss her
Yes
I get so emotional when I hear whitney!!
Best EVER
Omg yes!! Same
Who needs to grow old when their music "lives forever".........Whitney Houston's entitled songs gets people (from all walks of life) in the mood, every time we are emotional!!!!!
That's very true
Say It Kwamee!!!
I'm blown away with her vocal performance, this was in an age before auto-tune. She actually could hit every note pitch-perfect!
She will always be Amazing!
She hit the charts and stayed there, until the point came where we all wish she'd made a couple of different choices. I always point to her when someone talks about who they think can really sing. Miss you, Whitney.
Before Bobby Brown
POWER HOUSE ❤❤❤
@@theneatlist407 ...except in her Bobby Brown years
Whitney was the most talented singer THE VOICE
"I don't know why I like you,
I just do...."
I felt that 😫🧡
Nkazimulo I have felt that too! Perhaps that's why this is my favourite song!
Whitney was beautiful inside and out. The fact that she is no longer with us breaks my heart.
I AGREE & IT BREAKS MY HEART‼💔😢 HER MUSIC STILL REMAINS IN MY HEART & SOUL ‼💜💜💜
Notice the people talking crap about Whitney don't know her, nor can they sing like her, nor do we even know their name. Whitney is THE VOICE. Period. I am devastated how she died, and what this life did to her...but one thing will always remain true...NO ONE can sing like Whitney. NO ONE.
Bravo!👏👏 so on point!
Oh yes... Amen all day long.
Well said who ever you are! A year ago! Still Whitney’s voice/music will live forever 👍
True
Cooper27: "THE VOICE" was Frank Sinatra! Period! Almost his entire long career! If Whitney was "the voice" it was only for around 10 years. She was an incredible voice, singer, professional! YES, she was! The best female voice/artist ever, it's a bit stretchy, don't you think?!
I’m 41 and have been listening to this legend since I’m 5. Her style, class, and music is timeless. No one will ever compare or even come close to this magnificent master of a woman.
Glennis grace can that the voice of Whitney Houston
Compare that to the pop stars today who have to have all their body parts hanging out just to keep up with each other and to give us some good but not great songs. Here. Whitney Houston kept in classy. Kept her clothes on and gave us great music that will always be remembered
Drug Addict.
The energy, passion, energy, instrumentation & of course her beautiful voice........ thats why this tune is my all time favorite of all time by Queen Whitney.
Massive hair. Massive voice. Massive drums. Oh I miss the 80s.
Massive hair 😂😂😂😂
she makes singing look so fun!!!
The voice is so pure and exceptional
When music had substance and it wasn't about the egos of today's singers . R.I.P Ms Houston .
She doesn't need to be alive to teach young singers and aspirants....
Whitney Houston is a worldwide legend and vocal standard.
Nothing comes close to her league. She's far the best female voice in music history.
Thank you God for giving us Whitney Houston. I guess you needed her more!
Undefeated92 my boyfriend just broke up with me cos I found out he's cheating i still love his lying ass but here i am loving Whitney more
I can't sing like her. I've tried since the 80's and do not come close.
@@Pllm30 bon jour 🙏elle est et restera pour toujours inimitable à jamais 🦁🤩🌍🎻❤😘🎼🎵🎶👏
I loved her style. Her natural beauty, her
energy, her everything. The best female voice ever 😍
Gosh I never get tired of hearing this classic song, even my toddlers love it 😍! Rip Whitney
What a pretty woman ,hello my Beauty ?
She had the whole world at her feet in the 80s. Such a shame that drugs took over her life. Such a talent
Je suis entièrement d'accord avec toi 👏paix à son âme 🕊🦁👑😘❣
Drugs did not take over her life. They were a part of her life like many celebrities.
Her legacy is Unmatched. She has 7 Consecutive #1 hits-No other artist in History has this.
She is Forever The Queen of Pop
@@deontebrewer2998 she is basically died from drug addiction.
@@humbaba2762 : The cause of death was found to be drowning; Chronic cocaine abuse and heart disease are believed to have contributed to her death. Her death overshadowed the 2012 Grammy Awards ceremony, also in Beverly Hills, the following night.
The statement should’ve been not that drugs took over her life but that regardless of her talent fame success and beauty she still had a hole in her heart and used drugs to fill it. It’s never about the why always about the action. People don’t become addicted for no reason..
Let us be clear here on a couple of things.
Both Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston are in my opinion, the 2 greatest performers the music industry has ever known, as they both were charismatic, electrifying and possessed a unique kind of mystique. If anything, Michael was probably a better dancer than Whitney. But even that is debatable, as Whitney over the years, developed her own unique dance moves and style. In addition, we have to remember that Michael's dancing was highly regimented, while Whitney's was more spontaneous. However, there is one indisputable fact which is that Whitney is the most talented, gifted and greatest singer that ever lived!! Why do I say that? Simple. No one can match( equal) her raw power, tremendous range and unbelievable control, all of which speak only to her vocal prowess.
When we add to her God given vocals, other outstanding qualities she possessed such as grace, elegance, stunning natural beauty and the emotional( as distinct from physical) energy she packs into her songs, we really are talking about the entire package and perfection!!
The fact that she has no equal when it comes to singing has been confirmed and substantiated not only by her fans, but equally by her peers, aspiring singers, music industry veterans and most significantly, the world's top music producers. Here is how some of the world's best producers have described her talent:)]
L.A. Reid: Whitney was the gold standard.
" Baby Face" : The greatest singer of all time.
Michael Narada Walden: Says her has never experienced in any other singer, the raw power, tremendous range and self a confidence he observed in Whitney. He also said that when one combines Whitney's elegance, stunning beauty, control and her ability to transition effortlessly between chest and delicate head voice, with her tremendous range and raw power, results in a package in a singer that is very rare!! Hers was a rare and unparalled talent, and it is no surprise that she is known as "the voice!". She is indeed the greatest singer that ever lived, on the basis of objective criteria!
Baulbeer Persaud
not only that...I was a teen during her time and I remember hearing her songs at that time as if it were yesterday, and I liked them. Today I can't get enough. We are/were lucky to hear her at her peak and be able to live in the times she existed and became the worlds top female singer of all time. We are so lucky to be alive when she came to prominence. Lucky. Lucky. Lucky. I know she'll be in Heaven.
Who the hell are you mr persaud? Love you . Never truer words spoken.. You feel music like deeply..I am a bassist I know the vibe Lolololol
Prince is up there too in my opinion
Both were pioneers not only for pop music, but for black musicians too!
An incredible waste of talent and human life, every time I think of either of them it makes me so sad...
what a beautiful woman.
She's the best 2 ever do it
JE SUIS ENTIÈREMENT D'ACCORD AVEC TOI ❤👑🦁🕊
I saw her live back in the 80's at Wembley Arena - I can honestly say her voice was better live - her recordings don't do her justice.
It's hard to believe it has been 10 years since we lost this beautiful and talented superstar. Rest in peace Whitney Houston
Performances like these are what set this diva apart from all other aspirants to the prestigious title of the voice and the gold standard. Her belts, vibrato and seamless transitions between head and chest voices are incredible. In addition, as a live performer, few can test her appeal, charisma and intense electricity!
This live performance is just one example of why this queen of the divas was, is and will always remain untouchable! I always loved quality music, but the vocal prowess, stunning beauty, magnetic appeal and unparalleled emotive ability, among other rare attributes have converted me to an addict to her amazing musical brand known as the " gold standard!"
I also have to indicate how well this performance highlighted her unique lyrical phrasing for which she was well known.
Love you Whitney and always will !! R.I.P
Talk about giving one' s all in a live performance- - it is always everything( all of her) , 120%. What more can one ask for. This legend truly loved not only what she did better than anyone else in her profession ( sing), but no one, even her worst enemy), can deny that she loved and valued her fans immensely! It showed and is there for all to see.
Whitney, you are missed and will always be - you are that special !!
This is her in her prime!
Great imaginative lyrics, music and beautiful harmonic mixing. Nothing artificial and she was stunningly beautiful without having to use her sex appeal to be so. If only music was still like this. So naturally talented and gifted. So sad what happened to her. Same for the likes of MJ too. And in the acting world Heath Ledger and Robin Williams. The most talented often seem to be the most troubled it's so sad. She was nothing short of iconic and a musical genius. Her amazing talent and music will never be forgotten.
+Sean Hayes Yes, I don't get it. Why the most talented are so troubled. It's frustrating.
Pllm30 The line between genius and insanity is a very thin one indeed :) same for fame and insanity I would hazard a guess.
I hope to see her and Bobby know 1 day in heaven lv u miss u so much xx xx xxxx, 💔💕💖💛💟👍💋
I still can't come to terms with Whitney Houston not with us anymore 😢🙏⭐️🌹🕊
I agreed
I get so emotional when I listen to Bodyguard I miss Whitney soooooooooo much 😭
I MISS HER TERRIBLY TOO ‼😢
God how I remember when she hit the scene back in the day. Soooo beautiful. The energy she gave was contagious. Loved dancing to this song in high school.
Right dont let Whitney Houston music die .
One of the Biggest Stars in the World 🌍
Whitney: I get so emotional, baby!
Me: Lifts wig with roses falling
