Boy this girl was something else. I wish there were live videos of her performances like this. She was bringing the house down. A lot of people who only focus on her 90's voice try to group her with other females but Whitney was pure soul. Arista records had a rare diamond in their hands and they fumbled it.There wouldn't have been a discussion on who is a better vocalist or singer than Whitney if her earlier shows were highlighted.
Yes. Instead of documentaries of salacious details about her private life, these concerts sitting in the vault are what they should be releasing. Her team should take note of what Mariah has been doing. Restoring the best performances and putting them on youtube.
THIS goes out to the ones that always said she cant sing about E5. Listen to that GB5, held with vibrato. No one uses the notes from her concerts from 1985-1988 because they know they will all loose.. The ring on that note. I never heard anywhere else.
@odumosuolusegun2781 now that u mention it ,anyone who covers Whitney makes sure to only cover studio version cos they know they can't do a cover of Live whitney.Studio stuff is difficult but it's much easier compared to what she does on a live setting
She could twist , turn, the song, bring it up and down, back and forth and all around, she could sing. Even Pavarotti loved her voice. Are you kiddin me!,
Gorgeousness and evenness of tone throughout the enitre range! Nippy's massive volume control to the service of music. The dynamic changes incorporated into the song flow so naturally. Phenomenal singing.She can't be matched.
It's not that the other GREAT singers could not sing great, its just that they couldn't do what Whiteny could do with her voice....and with such clarity. A messenger from the gods.
Whitney sounds as sweet as an Angel right here!!! So hard to believe that she was only twenty-two years old at the time, she sounds so much like a teenager!! But in my own personal opinion, Whitney Houston has always sounded great but especially at her best when she was young in the mid '80s!! Love her, miss her, and will always treasure her!! Peace 2 All!!
You are correct! She was definitely a soprano here and nodules definitely affected the natural tone of her voice making her later become a mezzo soprano.
@@kylesummers2462 Well, that, and the fact that she was a baby here. Youth is responsible for the buoyancy of alot of vocalists. By the time a woman turns 30 her voice is bound to mature. In this performance you can hear Whitney is still a child. But by the time she released The Bodyguard soundtrack she was a grown woman, and sounded like it.
@@muzimthembu453 I think her voice stopped maturing by 1985, she was a natural soprano. It definitely doesn't take 30 years for the vocal cords to stop changing. Generally, the human voice stabilizes between the ages of 18-21. Mariah Carey (for example) had the same exact tonal quality from 1990 and on. In 1990 she was around 21, her voice had fully matured by that age. Same thing goes for Celine Dion, Ariana Grande, Aretha Franklin, etc. None of their voices took 30 years to mature. If Whitney didn't smoke or have a child, her voice wouldn't have changed so dramatically. She would've still had her light soprano tone throughout the late 80s and 90s.
@@maxpotential-4074 A woman's voice is unlike a man's voice in that it actually matures in her 30s. By then it naturally drops by 1 or 2 notes, unlike a man, whose voice drops by considerably more by the time he's 25. Secondly, Whitney Houston was never a soprano. She was always, till the end, a mezzo. Being a soprano isn't about the notes that you can hit- it's about what the voice does in certain places. Patti Labelle is a soprano, and you can hear it in the caliber of sound of the notes she sings in. She may have lost a few of her tops notes as she's aged, but that quality of sound remains. Whitney, Mariah, Aretha and Celine are mezzos- the most common voice type for a female singer.
@@muzimthembu453 Actually sopranos the most common type and Whitneys a soprano these performances definitely proved it…. and its about tessitura…. And Whitney clearly has a super high tessitura…. its just she was smoking alot lolzzzz…. and Whitneys a higher soprano than patti is
The poor artist who followed her would have to add Explosions, and thick clouds of smoke to their stages,, as well as take their clothes off, and run rampant with auto tune, and lip syncing techniques... Because No One would be able to Keep up with A live Voice Of This measure,,,,, She stood Alone Point Blank...
absolutely beautiful... clear /angelic voice that I will always remember..... Still remember the IMPACT i received the first time I heard this voice..... It was like a big shock .... running through my body/ heart and soul. The memories imprinted in my heart n soul...forever!
I love you, Whitney Houston!! my #1 female singer of all time!! I remember when I was a little girl back in the mid '80s watching Whitney Houston in her music videos on MTV and VH1 with my mom and now I'm saddened that Nippy is no longer with us. I miss her so much!! Love and peace to you, Whitney, sing and shine on in heaven!!
people never talk about her voice pre 93. Th elies started with Mariah fans, who said whitney could not sing above Eb5 that she strains, but the same Mariah has never held an F#5. sHE HITS, BUT NEVER HOLDS IT.
@@cyrusjbeast Mariah actually sustained G#5 briefly on her debut album. Whitney did have her beat though with sustaining live. Although there's nothing wrong with Mariah touching those notes as they are resonant, in time and in key as well. No need to take away from Mariah.
Whitney is the queen of squillo. For some reason I prefer Whitney’s dark resonance to Mariah’s light resonance. Both are technically brilliant though, but there’s something about the way Whitney could sustain notes above e5 that makes me like Whitney’s more power belter style
@@cyrusjbeast it is the chest in the note and the open throat and ofcourse her voice had more development. Any voice with such core in them will have more squillo. Squillo is from the chest...most singers nowadys would not dare sing with that level of guts!
she KILLED this. absolutely SLAYED it and made it sound so easy too. would also love to see footage of this gem. hearing all the laughter at the beginning makes me wonder what happened 😌✨
All i can say it may never b another like her in our lifetime ask yourself all of the female singers past and present hit notes like she did noone can compare im sorry
The Celine fans are crazy. I like Celine. I like the fact that even Ms. Celine also acknowledges Whitney's majesty. Even Celine is a big Whit fan. Mariah will never humble herself to admit that.lol
Whitney voice was sweet as honey you can feel what she sannnnng deep down soulful voice you not going to find a voice like that these days whitney was very special person god give whitney a beautiful gift of voice may whitney your soul rest in peace e i love you e
A heavenly sent instrument is Whitney's voice, and yes she is a Soprano that is one thing for sure certain! Thank you KaCi for the video hun. : ) I love this video and particular version of Whitney's "You Give Good Love!!!"
if I ever questioned whether or not there's a God I know there definitely is whenever I hear Whitney sing😭😭💯we'll NEVER EVERRRR have anyone else with this vocal ability, vocal agility, vibrato, tone, overall vocal POWER... ever!!!👌🏽❤
As a matter of fact, Whitney Houston's Greatest Love World Tour, which was her first concert, actually started one month before her 23 birthday, because her birthday is August 9th, 1963.
Why would even one person dislike this song? Everything about it is SEXXXXXXXY... 3:07-3:43 What the fuck is Whitney doing at 4.02??? I fell in love all over again at 4:04... the ab lib to the end... Beautiful, as always. Thanks Whit, waiting your return.
you have a point, sir...sometimes, the website lies..but her voice got deeper around 1994-1995, b/c her voice was shot in 1994 according to her mom..the docs told her to rest it before she do permanent damage...she rested it..but not enough and then she was smoking cigarettes and doing cocaine/marijuana, so that didn't make it any better i guess
@GeorgiaPeach87 It is Whitney! There are many other videos where sounds like this on youtube - This is how she sounded betwee 1985 - 1987. Then again, I was at this concert, well one of them. September 86. Whitney's voice changed and then she did drugs which worstened it! : )
@oprahIV reallly? keep in mind she was very very young... 21 during concert.. she was 19 when she recorded the album and younger than that when signed to Arista
I've been in a Whitney tunnel on TH-cam for a long time. It's not at all been healthy. So I just tried listening to other really talented singers- you can name them. They all sound like amateurs in comparison.
Whitney showcasing evenness of sound throughout the entire range of the song (Mariah is not capable of such a feat because her instrument is just underdeveloped LOL) and also huge volume control in chest as well head voice. She executes a "Subito piano" at 4:02, she floats a pianissimo in head voice, and she unleashes the chest on that F#5 (fortissimo) at 3:52. Mariah just can't do that! Mariah can copy paste each and every note she sings in studio a billion times and make a song, but she can't sing it live. LOL Maria lipped sync "Fly like a bird" at the Grammys. LOL

2:51-3:41 and 3:51-4:07 Is Just Spectacular!! Vocals Unmatched!!
#THEVOICE
3:31 she held that!! That right there is talent!
That head voice was a F#5 and the belt after that was a F#5. It's so clear at that time F#5 was one of her many golden notes.❤
She was the absolute best.
Her voice is so pure it almost hurts my ears.... Perfection at it's best. Thanks Whit.

This is the voice that I will always remember. Such a worldwide treasure. R.I.P. Whitney! (1963-2012)
She's like almost impossibly good, it sounds hyperbolic but I feel like there's miles between her and every single other pop singer 🤦🏻♂️ what a loss
