- I decided to do this since I haven't seen it done yet. There seems to be a more silent comparison between these two that no one openly says. Yes it's a reach lol, but still, Enjoy the video

Whitney Houston
queen of powerful
Whitney is forever the best!!!!
I love Jennifer but next to classic Whitney Jennifer is just loud. Whitney's technique is everything. The tone, power, clarity and agility of Whitney's voice remain unrivaled to this day. I'm just sayin.'
Agility noooo honey
@@cesarinamedinapimentel8085 because I have time... that’s all you got from my entire comment lol 😂??
Periodt
She's Queen
And that *vibrato*
@@cesarinamedinapimentel8085 WOW
One of Whitney's best unreal exceptional features of her insanely powerful voice is HER AGILITY
How on earth could JH be more agile than WH lol 😂
She couldn't even control her loudness
Facts!
Whitney's 'sound' (tonality and timbre) is just simply better than most other singers.
Sam Pottorff Thank You!!! .. Then You Add In All Her Other Skills And She Is EASILY The Greatest Vocalist Of All Time .. Its Just Facts
Whitney all day every day.
whitney's use of her range is just a miracle to pop music...
Jennifer is good.
Whitney is excellent.
Whitney >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Her freedom is amazing even with a chesty mix
The thing about Whitney's voice is that it has so many different colors to it. Her voice is one you don't hear 1000 times on the radio. It's very unique and her technique is nearly perfect. You really are taken on a journey when she sings and can't help but be mesmerized. Jennifer just has one sound which is very shouty. It's harsh a lot of times and sounds very thin when she gets to those higher belts. She has very little resonance and she's not consistent with her technique. Whitney takes this one all the way.
Kel0390 whits technique is FAR from perfect
@@drakecampbell6150 and your comment is FAR from smart. In fact, it's borderline retarded.
@@drakecampbell6150 Her technique is perfect
@drakecampbell6150 Whitney Houston’s technique in the 80’s up until maybe 1994 was spot on. However she did a LOT of performances and so occasionally she would strain through her vocal fatigue. But she did normally have very good technique when her voice was rested.
Whitney off couse. She is the best singer of all time
jennifer has the most unpleasant tone i’ve probably ever heard. yes, her voice is powerful but it’s not at all a voice i could listen to for long. she’s a star, but she doesn’t have the amount of star power that whitney had in her fingernail. they don’t call whitney “the voice” for nothing...she will never be touched in any way!
Hater
i mean i understand this an opinion but damn😭
Omg. I thought it was just me. I hate Her tone
Whitney is a REAL legend! She just has that mystical 'something' that most other singers (including Jennifer) don't have.
Jennifer has it
@@thebestcicinmage4485 no
Whitney's voice was clearly audible clear fluid just crystallic strong powerful, it is the best, she spent a incroayble speed and efficiency of an octave to another it pmouvait start in gospel to jazz and opera finish it is undoubtedly the best
*WHITNEY HOUSTON THE QUEEN OF VOICES*
Whitney Houston had the best voice for singing than anybody I've ever heard

@@VivianReedVocals Whitney takes it
Whitney Houston's headvoice alone can slay Jennifer Hudson's whole register haha
Whitney alway and alway the great singer and vocalist of all time❤❤❤
5:13 Whitney show who's The BOSS... 👏👏👏
No one can compare to Whitney Houston best Singer of all-time the Voice
So.... Both of these women are spinto sopranos. Many seem to believe Jennifer is a dramatic, but she doesn't have that output. I think it's the fact that her voice isn't as warm as people think it should be. Anyways, Jennifer had some resonance, but supported up to C5. Above that she ran into issues with throatiness, and eventually a high larynx. Vs. Whitney who was resonant throughout the whole video, and would've taken G5 without a sweat if that was included as well. So Whitney, by far.
*breaking a sweat
Captain Jeebis Juno not with her nonexistent lower register and natural ease in the fifth octave. she doesn't sound like a mezzo.
wtf lyric dramatic? Lyric and dramatic are two TOTALLY DIFFERENT, contradictory to each other
agreed
MrSkinnyJeanz3 Whitney was a spinto only at her first years, after 88-89 she turned to mezzosoprano, her tessitura was much lower than Jennifer's. Her D5 in One moment was almost on top of her comfortable belt range, while Jennifer hit an Eb5, like it would be an Eb4 for Whitney :D so Whitney was only soprano at her first recordings and album, people always mistake that, and I'm tired of it.
i love jennifer hudson but whitney houston has the most beautiful voice in the world and no one can change that she is a queen and no one will beat her. Jennifer has a beautiful voice but Whitney has the voice she left far too early but her voice will never be forgotten it is a legend and it will remain so. Jennifer has a voice similar to that of aretha franklin and it is already a lot but that of whitney is unique
Whitney was the greatest. Her beautiful clear sound rings in my ears. I'll always love her ❤
Whitney hit those E5s like it was nothing LOL.
Its just plain effortless for Whitney. No one can top Whitney!!
Whitney Houston in my opinion has a way better tone and i love her vocal stylings and the clarity of her voice.
of course Whitney is better of course , Whitney is an icon , legend , diva and shall be remembered as such for centuries , Jennifer has a fantastic voice but will never sound as good as Whitney or be remembered for as long as Whitney shall be
Whitney is more powerful blows his voice is much more stronger it is not limited pass more easily from high to low that Jennifer can do more things with his voice, Whitney is the best.
Whitney Houston is everything to me nobody can touch her voice Whitney's voice was angelic just like angel Whitney voice was like sweet as honey Jennifer Hudson scream too loud Whitney voice was just so angelic just beautiful
I love both of the singers but nobody sings better than Whitney Houston she was sent from heaven
Whitney hands down
6:05 Jennifer so loud and Whitney is loud with power and it’s stronger
Whitney Whitney and Whitney! No one else compares to that resonance and sound.
teacher and student legend and icon
Jennifer can sing and does well at it BUT even with the same notes being hit Whitney's voice is so much more MAJESTIC and captivating. IT seems to be more elegant and smoother even at higher pitches which some people define as control. This is what separated her from the pact past and present. Her ability to capture the secrets of the tonation of a song with both her chest and head voice without over singing. She was the queen of taking a song and squeezing every emotion from every word.
Whitney's power and lovely voice are occurring at the same time (always) that's why Whitney is always superior.
I love Jennifer's C5's! I love all of Whitney's belts! Especially her C#5's and D5's!
I love me some Jennifer Hudson. She's good but she's no where near a Whitney Houston. It's not many that can hang with prime Whitney Houston. Give Jennifer a little time. Let her get a hold of some really good songs.
THANK YOU I AGREE !! PEOPLE ACT AS IF JENNIFER HAS NO TALENT
MrStyle23 I disagree .Jennifer is there
I love listening to Whitney. Jennifer can reach these notes but her tone quality does not come close to Whitney, that said, God bless both of these singers who God has certainly blessed them for sure..Whitney, God needed you for the heavenly choir..rip beautiful and one rip your beautiful child, BKB :(
Jennifer Hudson could NEVER EVER match Whitney's Vocal Prowess. She's just not in "THE VOICE" league and NEVER will be!
Starr Hines I disagree .Come on just look at her range,strength ,high ,low notes. .Jennifer has to be given credit
tarny11 i disagree with you. Yes Jennifer is good, and have a great voice, powerful and with extensive belting (the most impressive part of her voice). But the comment is not denying these things, the thing is that jennifer could never match Whitney as a singer, cause whitney is far better in every sense of the word; here is the proof, Whitney sing every note with far more quality, from a A4 to a F#5, with better resonance, clarity, control, vibrato. And that is a FACT! Jennifer is awesome, it's just that Whitney has a better instrument, and she was a genius using it, maybe like almost no other singer in history, only comparable with mariah, aretha and barbra.
Ignacio medina I disagree with you. She doesn’t have a “better instrument.” You could argue she has a better tonal quality. Jennifer can do things Whitney couldn’t have. For example, Jennifer can belt up to a B5.
@@zacktronelectrify Yeah, unsupported and strained. Jennifer can barely hit a supported D5 without strain nvm a B5 without strain.
@@ignaciomedina9816 mariahs not a real singer(flawed voice) abs aretha and barbra just dont compare
vocal battle??? lmao...i love jennifer but this is unfair
Anytime you against Whitney's A4 when she Belts Loooooovvvvvveeeee.....you are going to lose that note.....period.
Same here and I think it's because her lack of control. The notes spew out with no beauty, purpose or sense of pitch, but when she does sing with awareness it sounds really good. Not on Whitney's level, but still really good.
it is the coordination she is uses , she starts with belt voice and holds out her notes with a mixed voiced, you can hear the clear shift in her tonal timbre on some of the belts, the first bb4, the C#5 all the upper belts from Eb5
I think whitney is singing but Jennifer is just screaming. That's the difference between a legend and a person who screams.
You are dumb
I like Jennifer Hudson but sometimes her voice doesn't match the songs she sings......and then she goes into the screaming and I can't take it any longer
😂🤣😂🤣🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣😂🥲🥲🤣🤣🥲
Forget J HUD!!! HELL NO ONE was in Whitney”s League!!!!
simple put ,Jennifer knows how to scream but Whitney how to sing.
Look .. we have our favourites ...... I LOVE WHITNEY ... but I WILL NEVER DISS Jenn. RESPECT!!!
Whitney’s voice has power and emotions in all ranges, her tone is special. There’s many gospel singers with a voice like Jennifer.
Whitney absolutely wins.
jennifer sounds throaty while whitney perfect breath control releases pressure off of the chords/throat making her production clean open and beautiful
How does Jennifer have a stronger voice? Just curious. Her voice may be loud but that doesn't equate to the sheer natural power Whitey has, esp at 5:10

F5: whitney?? not completely sure. her pitch was the most stable but jennifer’s approach to the note seemed much less forced and allowed her to hit note with ease and a slightly better tonal quality. even though whitney’s timbre is just unmatched naturally
F#5: whitney (but those A5’s?? jennifer’s range is insane)
😂😂😂😂
Kkkkkkkkk
this wasn’t shade i love jennifer sm sksksksjs
i’m rewatching this and i feel like there were a few notes that went to jennifer. however whitney still wins by far and large. i love both whitney and jennifer very much and jennifer is AMAZING but damn… that whitney
Whitney : Yes
Jenny: no
I just don't like Jennifer's singing. Her natural loudness doesn't bother me. It's just that her singing is screamy and thin. It's an ugly sound.
Whitney may not be able to belt as high, but she has a far more solid voice.
TheMaleAvenger
TheMaleAvenger Jennifer has an amazing voice .Yes abit loud but her vocal range is the best and better them Whitney's. Whitney's good as in her voice level stays the same.
tarny11 Jennifer has zero resonance when she belts. Whitney does not.
TheMaleAvenger I think she belts them out good. She has more range then Whitney.
tarny11 Quality > quantity.
I remember Jennifer on American idol when she sang Whitney’s I have nothing. Quinton Tarantino said “Hudson takes on Houston and wins”. I was like are you for real. Hudson is suitable in certain songs but can sound a little rough when belting. Whereas Houston’s voice at her best is Majestic and so versatile. Her belting is effortlessly delivered and comes at you like a freight train.
great notes selection for Whitney
eh not really especially that F5 and the second Eb5 she has way better notes than those and I'm sure they're going to be better than Jhud's notes since she is already getting tensed on those notes.
@@VivianReedVocals I am sure you can find some better notes, but compared to other selections this one is great. Most of her notes here are amazing.
@@LuLu-nw6bi I agree😊🥰
@@VivianReedVocals A4, second B5, C5, C#5... just wow! Jennifer is an amazing singer, but Whitney is one level above. IMO Houston's voice is the only one that is in the league of Aretha and Streisand, who sort of set the bar back in the 60s.
@@LuLu-nw6bi whitney is above aretha and barbra.
Whitney!!!!
singer vs screamer, funny how they tried to make JH the next WH and failed badly. she is nowhere near her league
shellbsd23 I think you're talking about Xtina when you say "screamer." Jhud is NOWHERE near Whitney, but she does know how to control her voice, and can actually use her voice.
Frogie Plays Christina does scream tho, she’s a great singer but has screamed many times. Have u not seen her rendition of Star Spangled Banner?
shellbsd23 JH doesn’t scream anymore than Whitney when trying to reach E5’s+ in chest voice. It’s chest voice, not head voice, there’s a difference
Malolis Roberts Whitney doesn't scream in the least... Whitney in her prime was consistent and very very resonance. Whitney could sing without a mic because of her resonance, Jennifer on the other hand can't support a note above C5. There is a difference between supporting the note and hitting it... Whitney could support all her range while Jennifer could not and still can't which explains her lack of resonance.
JHud is just naturally loud. And who tried to make her the next Whitney?
Jennifer Hudson is good, but she sounds like she is screaming. Whitney Houston has that crystal clear voice, it doesn't matter how high she sings, it sounds really silky smooth!
We need an updated battle with Jennifer’s current voice! WH forever 💕
That’s what I’m saying! Jen is better than ever right now and it would be a closer battle. I think whitney would still win though but Jen would make her work for it
@@princeldarion Jen singing a man's world on the voice was close to angelic. Whitney is an Angel she'll be on heavens choir when ever she wants to attend.
Because these are also Whitney's older clips
Hudson. Not the same class.
Whitney tore this girl up LOL!!
I'm a huge Whitney fan and don't care much for Ms. Hudson (I find her a bit overrated), but I think some of ya'll are doing a bit much here, just because Whitney is a legend and she "safer" pick. Jen has a bigger/heavier voice, and definitely has more ease in the upper belting register. Whitney has much better control of everything else in her voice (low notes, mid and mid-upper notes, in addition to head voice), so she is my pick, but i think it's just fair to mention Jen has SOME attributes in her favor.
That being said, overall I just find Jen to be such a one-trick pony, partially through no fault of her own (her voice is just very "belt-y" and not well suited to lyric passages). But also, she does have some blame in it; I find her mid-belts (A4-C#5ish) to be passionless and... boring, it seems like she just sleepwalks through her performances until she finds that moment she can wail some E5s and above... Not to mention a largely unused and undeveloped head voice. That's probably why she hasn't been able to find much success after Dreamgirls, if it ain't "And I Am Telling You" no one wants to hear it.
Whitney, on the other hand, is known as "The Voice" for a reason. There are plenty of chicks who can wail high belts louder and higher than her, but she's the most exquisite all-round vocalist pop music has probably ever seen. She has power for sure, but a top quality head voice, well supported notes from the lower register all the way to her top (while Jen sometimes falls into going shrill and thin even on her trademark high belts), she can blaze through dramatic passages like "I'm Every Woman" and melt into lyric ones like the first verse of "I Will Always Love You".
Christopher Santos Jennifer's voice is abit loud but her range in all aspects is really good .Have YOU heard her song WHERE YOU AT. That just shows her talent . I'm not a Whitney fan .She has good control and strength. Maybe people think Whitney's is the best cause that's what they have heard all there lives. J. Hudson should get the appreciation she deserves .A good singer can sing anything. Celine ,Christina, Jennifer,Alexander Burke

Whitney by miles no competition at all....
"The Voice''
no comparison, one just screams
A voz das duas são maravilhosas !
Mais ninguém chega perto de Whitney Houston
Vdd mais a Jennifer tem musicas que reaçaram a voz dela
@@jonasriquelme9303 well no
Jennifer Hudson is a very talented singer, but Whitney wins! Whitney's resonance, vibrato, tone, and agility is amazing! Jennifer has a beautiful voice too!
I love how some people think they know about singing and can't hit one note on this video..LOL
I love Jennifer's voice. She is incredible. But Whitney will always be Whitney.
Jennifer - Louder
Whitney - Stronger and more chest dominant.
As s professional singer my self i loved it! and loved them both!!!!
Jennifer's vibrato is atrocious.
Luis Gabriel yes .. horrible !!!!
I wouldn’t say it’s atrocious, I just don’t like the way she utilizes her vibrato. It could be much more pleasantly sounding if she used it after carrying out a note for like 5-7 seconds opposed to oscillating for the duration of the entire note. IMO, She overused it and it gets unpleasant quickly, but I don’t think it’s borderline atrocious. I think it’s just become so natural to her to point where it’s hard for her to turn off that “vibrato switch” in singers.
@@whitneyhoustonstan2472 she starts the note well with proper coordination then she adds twang to push the note forward and that dirties up her tone! AND SHE REALLY I SNOT BELTING SHE IS MIXING
Wasn't aware there was a comparison- spoken or unspoken- being made between these two. Whitney slayed, of course.
Whitney is legend .she only can compare with Mariah
You mean Mariah can only compare to her? Lol
Yes
Whitney. I love Jennifer but Whitney.
What I love about this video is you have the Influencer (Whitney) vs the Influenced ( Jennifer Hudson) . Jennifer tone is thick and full while Whitney is light. I always saw Jennifer as a hybrid of Aretha, Patti, Chaka and Whitney. I think Jennifer is heavily influenced by the way Whitney finessed notes while using her head voice.
whitney !!!!
Jennifer is just soooo loud! but that's definitely not superiority! Whitney hands down
The RESONANCE @ 7:39 WOW Whitney. The intonation was off a little at first but the sheer volume and power O__O
I love both of them !
Whitney is better❤
I love both, buy I think that it's a bit silly to compare any person - no matter how good the person is - to Whitney. If it were or record, someone else, like Mariah, could even take a shot or two, but she is the ultimate live performer. If someone is capable of making you cry on youtube, I am scared of what the person (Whitney) would do in a live performance when at her best.
Whitney effortlessly slayed Jennifer. But I do love Jenn's C#5 from "Where You At" (those were so effortless to me). And her D5 from "Where You At" where some of my FAVES!
I must say Jenn came through on those D5's. Eb5's were like a tie. Love Whitney's F5 @ 5:56. Whitney's mic @ 7:20 was so small, lol. 7"38, Whitney let it all out!
Whitney: E5, F5, F#5
Nobody yet can touch Whitney💕
Ever.
@ Angelfully, I meant that J. Hud's voice is stronger meaning louder most of the time. That isn't always needed. Whitney understood that & knew the right time to use dynamics in a song.
Big sister and young sister. No one replace Whitney no one Replace Jennifer
gurl...whitneysus all the way! i still love me some jennifer godsend tho
Jennifer does have the stronger voice, but Whitney could execute songs w/softness, flair & vocal acrobatics (runs) as well as those strong notes... I can't say that so much about Jennifer
Whitney Houston vs Jennifer Hudson that's like trying to compare apples to oranges... you just can't do it!! Nothing against Jennifer but Whitney Houston all day everyday... beginning to end!!!
I just feel like J HUD has a powerful voice but Whitney my goodness Whitney is and will always be the Voice hands down!
Jennifer is one ifnmy favourite singers right now. But when you hear her side by side with Whitney it shows her voice up. Jen never really changes the dynamics of her voice at all. It seems to have the same tone all the time which can get a bit monotonous
why do people try to compare they are both fabulous vocalist
right and also they seem to be too different lol.
Teacher Vs student
Whitney wins oooo
Well Whitney's got the range of course but let's be real. The reason she's the voice is not that she's got the highest range (she doesn't, even in When You Believe she took the lower notes and still gave half the soul of the song) anyway but rather her ability to go from very powerful tone to strong head voice or falsetto over and over again. Like in I Will Always Love You, a perfect example for this, that no matter there are other singers that can outdo her *range*, they will never sing it like she does. On top of that, her agility and choice of riffs and runs are one of a kind that she only knows how to make a line so soulful. Also for those reasons, without being too rangey and all, her Star Spangled Banner remains the best rendition.
I'm also a fan of Jhud because her range and power are just insane, out of this world. She is a beast and her voice fits big songs perfectly. I mean, comparisons on note per note are not telling you a lot. You could hear both doing Bridge Over Troubled Water and would prefer one and hear another song and would prefer the other. As for Jhud's case, nobody has ever sung I'm Telling You I'm Not Going as amazingly good as she does, not even Whitney. This is the one song "made" for Jhud.
So, there's that. Specialty. Just be grateful they are all different in many amazing ways.
LOL, sit down bitch.
@@lord123571 looool
Whitney can just flat out sang whitney can just sing a song straight without doing runs or nothing she also was a good story teller she sung with feeling she knew how to bring the emotions out in the song her tone in her voice is unmatched that's why you can't compare her to other singers cause she is different from the rest her voice is just different the way she sing a song is just different compare to other singers.
In When you believe Whitney and mariah did both the low and high parts…..
whitney es la mejor por lejos !!!!!
0:52 Is Just Fucking Beautiful!!! .. Its Gritty/Growly, POWERFUL Asffff, And Controlled! This Is NOT Even Near Her Prime!
Jennifer is an amazing singer, but whitney has so much control and delivery, it's like she just couldn't help but be flawless in every song she ever song, not too pitchy, she never sound like she was screaming the song, it just like it just flod out of her like pouring syrup on a hot pancake
I think Whitney is the best singer I've ever heard but Jennifer is not terrible like some of you are making her out to be. Hudson is one of the very best singers today she's fantastic in my opinion.
