  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.พ. 2023
  • Live from TVW 7 in Perth, Australia (a City that, at the time, had a population of just 1.1 million). Whitney Houston performs for a small studio audience. This was taken from a VHS tape I bought off Marketplace destined for the tip. Quality looks second generation - "better than nothing" they say. Recorded off a late 90's Tv Special.
    This is all I have from Whitney's Telethon appearance.

      Yeah I remember her first music director (I forgot his name) said that the people who attended her concert were coming from different country and they had different age (from old to young people). I’m glad that she (like Michael Jackson) did music that embrace everyone and cross the barriers 😊😊

    This was the cutest full choreographed performance of this song I’ve ever seen her do. I’m assuming this was what was done on the tour. She sort of replicated it on the 88 Grammy’s but it was a bit more disjointed. She’s so relaxed and cute here. Love it!

    Love this! The way I always viewed Whitney and choreo was that she always knew all the steps and moves, she would just step in and out of the choreo when it suited her. My mental image is that she was always the 'cool girl' that didnt try too hard to dance and show out, needing to prove anything. Only do just enough to remind you that she can, all while singing better than anyone else. She was more of a groover...with simple, smooth choreo that allowed her to decide what she wanted to get into.

      The background singers she used during her Spain concert in 91 were more suitable for her sound during this era. I think she just employed those she felt she could trust and made her comfortable verses those who would’ve complimented her sound more
