She deserved so much better than she got in life. I wish she would’ve had her big comeback and been able to live her life free from her controlling family
Concordo totalmente , alla fine l’hanno fatta apparire come una che ha sempre e solo Usato droghe a tutto spiano e invece la Sua voce si è deteriorata per il Superlavoro e perché il pubblico si aspettava da lei che cantasse sempre come quando aveva 20 anni… povera creatura , ha pagato , lei e la sua bambina , il Prezzo più alto mentre tutti gli altri sono Vivi e fanno ancora tanti tanti Tanti soldi col suo nome e con la sua bellissima Voce Riposa in pace whitney , ora sei al sicuro con la tua bimba ❤🌹
I went to the end of this documentary and found what I was looking for. I grew up so mesmerized by Whitney’s voice. It really broke my heart to see Whitney’s decline musically and physically. And I can’t even begin to describe my emotions when I heard she died. But her legacy is still strong, and she remains a tremendously aspirational singer. Thank you for this documentary.
Look, I’ve even watched some parts over and over!!! And the fact that Milik said that he is never doing a trilogy like this for no other artist or singer ever again says a lot!!! She is the greatest singer of all time!!!
I love how respectful you were to Whitney's legacy. It just explains alot of what she was going through and why she was so troubled. Yet and still such a beautiful beautiful soul. I do not understand how she was surrounded by so many seasoned people in the industry, and signed such a terrible contract/deal. Just sonmuch that even explains why some would have wanted her outta here. This is such a great series. As a gospel singer, I learned so much.💗💗
You made mention of Sara Vaughan in this. Can you PLEASE do a video of her? Her voice changed during her career but got richer and deeper but she could still go high and to me, her voice was just about perfect. Watching her sing live is an otherworldly experience. Just effortless. Also Stephanie Mills too please.
That Queen of The Night performance in Rio gets played DAILY over here because of the various reasons you pointed out here. Whitney's confidence was on 1000! Everyone from the band to Kirk to the backup singers ate that performance UP!
I've always loved Whitney. Her beautiful voice and the strength and the emotion it produced reached everyone's hearts. It's sad to know that her voice could've lasted far longer if she wasn't touring so much and so intensely. Being a record-breaking artist, and still being broke, because your family is funding everyone in that there is. Greed is such ugly sin. I guess, it just reminds everyone to be financially literate. Even the ones at the top will have nothing. Thank you so much for your work! The amount of labour that went into this is massive! Just like her voice! ❤
Milik you are the GOAT for this & everything you do! I’ve never found such a thorough breakdown & analysis of a voice like the way you explain things. I want you to know I’m grateful and will donate❤ keep up the good work 💪🏾
@@BlackMusicArchiveIt is the attention to detail that I most admire. I was a suburban teenager in the 80's. Whitney never interested me. She was a big voice that wasn't saying anything. (Grown up a bit since then) But this video made it interesting. Thanks.
Thank you for spending such a long time researching, interviewing, and editing to create this masterpiece. I’m a diehard Whitney Houston fan (in fact TH-cam said replay said I listen to her 3x as much as the average listener😂) and I still learned a great deal about just how monumental a singer she was from your documentary. Keep up the great work!
I saw Whitney live in concert in 1988 (my first concert, to say I was spoiled doesn’t even cover it) and again in 2010 in Australia (Sydney), and being a fan of Billie Holiday (who’s Lady in Satin remains one of my all time favourite records despite the loss of her younger voice and range) knowing all that Whitney had endured I had no expectation of her reproducing the sound that I’d heard back in the late eighties to mid nineties. Audiences that expected the Bodyguard voice were just being obtuse. I will say that watching her close with ‘I Will Always Love You’ as she walked back from the microphone a couple of times in order to deliver the key change and when delivered sent shivers through the audience is still one of the great live performances I’ve had the privilege & honour to watch. I consumed all three hours in one sitting, in it’s entirety and as a lifelong Whitney fan this has to be one of the best documentaries that covers her life and career exclusively through her work and technique and this is its own achievement. Thank you. I cannot put into words all the emotions it brought up for me. A touching and respectful testament to a once in a lifetime talent. 🙏🏼❤️🕊️
This documentary is so well thought-out! I can't imagine the man-hours spent in making this! Thank you BMA! Whitney Houston's life is indeed a great case study to the future pop stars of the world. I still regard her as the most influential vocalist who ever graced the earth.
I'm just an amateur singer, and I put the effort to see all of that lecture even though it's very long, and I want to thank you so much, your videos are seem so professional, going deep and to much detail, and it's so much better to learn and understand all of this using examples from our idols and role models, and not just from dry theory. Thank you so much for the effort, I think you did a big favor for singing enthusiasts, and also to our all time legendary divas (and I say it as a "white person", who adore black music, no bias here), and in this case to the great and dear Whitney, which maybe due to her naiveness she didn't have the best of luck and unfortunately was taken advantage of by others (and I'm sure they got the punishment they deserve from the universe), but at the same time, the same person with this same character changed people's across all nations lifes forever, and that means more than all the money in the world (what are we living for if not for leaving our good internal mark in people's souls). and if there is a heaven she must be seeing that this way from there ❤
Thank you so much for this. You focused on the artistry and musicality of a legend. I enjoyed seeing the evolution of Whitney's singing. I appreciate you so much for this because you have done justice to her legacy
If that was the case then the rest of the singers should sound better than they actually do live. Whitney voice was God's gift. What her mother did was enhance her.
Such respect and care, nothing less than what Aunty Whitney and her team earned. Her Christmas album was a staple of my childhood, and I look forward to playing it for my own little ones, when the time comes. Thank you for the excellent work! I hope that any future biopics or documentaries on her incorporate this documentary. #WhitneyHouston #BlackMusicArchive #BlackGirlGenius
I begin to watch this a few weeks back because I am such a Whitney Houston fan I had to stop I couldn't not get emotional I just finished and everything you said was so spot on Whitney Houston sing she had gone through been through so much she wasn't that same teenage girl she once was she was a woman of so many different characters I suppose the biggest hurdle would be life itself job well done Whitney we love you we miss you most of all we thank you forgiving to us the best you had I'm so grateful and honored and as I almost tear up writing this I know she's in a better place no more pain no more suffering no more wanting to be enough
Excellent documentary! Kudos to you and your team on such an extensive and well-researched breakdown of Whitney’s vocal journey. Regarding her performances in 1997, while we do see a noticeable change in her vocal quality/stamina during the Classic Whitney concerts (end of her 1997 Pacific Rim Tour) as well as her Grammy performance at the beginning of 1997, it’s worth mentioning that she was in WAY better condition during her concerts at the beginning of the Pacific Rim Tour (Japan, Bangkok, Taipei). She sang all of her material in the same key and her money notes (C#5/D5) were still intact, so I think the shift you’re referencing must have taken place after those initial concerts dates.
Like mother like daughter. Cece and Whitney had some of the most incredible, phenomenal, and powerful voices ever. Whitney took what her mother taught her and just elevated it to an even higher level. ❤❤❤
I love your channel so much. ❤❤Too much information that I am learning. I would love if you could explain Kim Burrell's voice. An analysis of it would be interesting. God bless your channel.❤❤
Thank you for this video and covering all details, I truly enjoyed watching this. I feel major contribution to Whitney's mental and voice decline after 1999. was Robyn Crawford leaving her. Robyn was her possibly only true friend who really loved Whitney for what she was. Whitney's family and team were there for the money. Deep inside Whitney knew that and that was causing major suffering.
It got harder & harder to watch this as it went on. Whitney had the wrong ppl round her & it's even sadder that those folks were her family. She was just used up as a cash cow. You continue to rest well Nippy!
Love this documentary, I’m happy you mentioned pregnancy and it’s effect on the voice and she did become pregnant again around the time of the “preachers wife” but unfortunately miscarried. Then of course because of the constant stress on her voice, her voice changed.
Thanks for the clarification of Whitney’s voice post Bodyguard Tour. I do think while the vocal injury healed..it did seem to have a permanent scarring in the upper register that gave her that husky tone. After the 96 miscarriage it seemed to not only darken but it definitely got sharper.
1:09 it's funny how in this one picture of her in her youth I can totally see how she resembles Whitney. But from then on it's hard to believe it was her mother.
Man, you are simply the best at it. A Master. I don't have any money but I would love to volunteer to help you if you need it. If you ever get tired of talking lol I'm a great narrator lol seriously tho, best narrator since Morgan Freeman lol
I know we generally avoid more specific fachs for pop singers, but I wonder... I fully agree Whitney was a mezzo. Would you say she was (or would've been, if operatically trained) a dramatic mezzo? I think Holliday's voice sounds a bit larger, but they sound about the same "weight class", where I'd say they both have a much larger sound than most other pop mezzos/altos.
You explained how a lay person as myself was never impressed with Cissy’s sound but understood her brilliance when it came to coach her daughter and carrying a whole choir as a director
Now seeing again the documentary I remembered that on the last previous Whitney episode you mentioned something about her having breath support issues and that we could see them on the jaw and neck consistently throughout her career Maybe it’s due to her use of substances or just a young voice who still has to mature

This Whitney Houston documentary going to create a superstar.

I can rewatch this over and over and I know that I will learn something new each time.
Thank you ❤
I feel like this documentary was necessary for the universe to keep expanding. So thank you so much
Thank you ❤
Yessss! 🌌🪐
You expressed exactly what I was thinking
Whitney Houston is once in a lifetime artist. Her voice, personality, presence, intelligence, charisma, impact, shades and resilience
Starlight Glimmer from MLP FiM now has her voice and she can sing better than Whitney Houston.
She deserved so much better than she got in life. I wish she would’ve had her big comeback and been able to live her life free from her controlling family

She wanted to leave Clive and we know how that ended.
Whitney is the tragic goat
Thanks for loving her so much
You made mention of Sara Vaughan in this. Can you PLEASE do a video of her?

Just effortless. Also Stephanie Mills too please.
I second this
Thank you all at BMA for this 🙏. As a Whitney stan.. this is the BEST most detailed documentary I've ever seen. EVER!

Three months since this 3-hour video was put up, and I still cry. Everytime.

The best reason for TH-cam, this channel right here. Teach on brotha
Mama Cissy raised and taught the best❤❤❤
This was beautifully done.
You worked so hard at this and it shows well done bro❤
This was INCREDIBLE. I loved her voice at every single stage and I was so lucky to be at her penultimate full-length concert before she passed.
As a singer, music lover, and Whitney's number one fan...I absolutely LOVE this, THANK YOU!!!

She's actually a trained singer.
If that was the case then the rest of the singers should sound better than they actually do live. Whitney voice was God's gift. What her mother did was enhance her.
