This performance is sooo special. She sang many times HIM in repleace of YOU ("I won't forget him"). She responded to the back up singers, her face is full of memories. She started right on the begging saying "no, he couldn't come back 'cause I said sooo". I'm crying, I'm literally crying and that's not the first time because of Whitney ❤😥 You've gone 8 years ago to God but you're still with us. We're all crying because you were in a deep pain and just a few saw that, now we all see how you felt.
and then: Back up singer: wishing you come back to me Whitney: No moore (probably thought about Bobby) Me: How people could do this to this angel? :((((((((
0:40 -2:00 .... Let me point out: Whitney's vocals were indeed damaged at this time... BUT she never lost her God given musical gift...her EAR. Just watch and listen to how she harmonizes with her background singers. The same background she likely arranged herself to sound like she wanted it to. People often say Whitney was the 'VOICE'... but I really think her deeper gift was her 'ear', her musical instincts. At the end of the day, singers can have big voices and not understand how to masterfully bend or sway it. Whitney had that til the very end. 👍
I notice it as well as a profesional musician and singer myself, that is whh she use to make the choral arrangement of the background vocals herself many times. Here she knows she is not going to hit the not so she harmonize perfectly like an instrument, things that people usually don't notice
@@EdmundSookermany Exactly... Whitney's understanding of vocal melody and order is for me her greater skill...she definitely inherited this from her mother. Certain artists can "hear" the groove even outside of their own voices. In Whitney's case, I think it was a combination of very early training and that natural "ear".
@@EdmundSookermany yes no doubt Whitney had a vocal gift... I don't think anyone can take that away from her... But I think it helps to add the other gifts Whitney had to her list. Because there are (and will be) other HUGE voices.... It won't hurt to name the ways Whitney was different
@@dtrn254 totally agree 👍 but those skills are usually noticed by people tha knows about music singers musicians not the regular audience that is why they are more focus on the great voice more than anything
she deserves the best.but the world will always be mean and hateful.i am not surprised at all.no matter what,she will always be the voice.she is the diva that ends all the divas.
I’ve said this too, just imagine losing your voice especially one like Whitney’s voice. It definitely pain her when the realization hit her. It’s so sad to see it.
This is a mere shell of her former brilliant self. At the height of her power none could come close to her strength. Lay down your burdens and rest in peace.

I always love Whitney not just only because her amazing voice, but also because her charisma and persistence as a performance. The worlds has a huge number women who can sing very well. But this lady, she came and changed our lives forever with her talent. Amazing gift that God has given to us as a music lover. Dear Whitney, we all love you. And your amazing voice and music will be listened not only at present, but until the future time. RIP the greatest voice of all..you'll be missed..
Come on Whitney sounds fantastic (too all those who disagree) her voice has deepened with maturity more than anything else. She is so amazing after taking such a long break. Her musicality is seemless. It's an amazing gift to sing a song differently the way she does each time : D
I prefer to remember the Whitney of How will I know. This here is just a hiccup in the path of life. She will always be the greatest vocalist of all time.
I just couldn't watch it it very painful. Although she was sick and lost her voice, I admire her so much for singing this at her weakest. I think its Clive that wanted her to get back into the music industry. He doesn't care about her voice or her wellbeing, he just cared about her money. That's what I dont like about him.
It was exactly the opposite...Clive Davis did NOT want her to go back on tour...nor record another album till she got her voice back. She did the tour cause she needed the money,...simple as that..
I Feel sorry for Whitney wow. GOD BLESS HER maybe he will heal her voice see this is why you can't make bad choices n be with bad people when u have a gift like shes has or should i say had. and i love her but let come to realize the truth.
people are dreaming. this was terrible. this woman, whom I love, did so much damage to herself, her body, and her spirit. there is nothing great about this. this is fucking sad.
@MASCOTT100 No it wasnt, it just further proves that the "old" whitney is still in there. Her voice is a bit inconsistent right now, so u will hear those pitch perfect moments along with the roughness.
I have said it once and i will again Whitney Houston seriously didnt have to struggle so on stage !!!!. In many performaces promoting i look to you she sounded great. We knew who this great women was and what gift she had when she opened her mouth she should have pre- recorded her voice then sung maybetwo or 3 songs live it would have be easier.
@Melancholist74 All that coughing and not being able to take the deep breaths to support the the big and long notes makes me wonder if she isn't experiencing some sort of respiratory issue or infection and/or its aftermath.
nothing wrong with taking drugs? err right... some people never learn. mijcael jackson, river phoenix, anna nicole smith etc. do i need to go on or do you think that taking drugs is MOST IRRESPONSIBLE?
@TheNomadMC Actually, singing will harm the voice far more than talking in most cases where there is damage to the vocal chords. The vocal chords are not muscles- they are membranes. To speak or sing, we force air through the membranes. Speaking is akin to rubbing silk against silk. Singing on damaged vocal chords is more like rubbing sand paper against silk. Whit needs to stop singing for a good two months or more and let her magnificent instrument heal.
i might being complete delusional but if feels like she somehow talking/remebering abt her past relationship with bobby? idk anyway she sounds good but i feel sad everytime i watch this :( love you honey rip.
Whitney, you have given your best and it's proven.It's time to take a rest now. Don't try to destroy your good records from the past by making bad presentations today. Let the new music generations of today follow your excellent samples of yesterday.Your talent is not yours, you just had borrowed it from God. Don't be sad baby, everyone will expire at the right time.We care for you. We love you. Take a rest now and contemplate. Talk to God who is Allah the One...the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
i absolutely love whitney, she is my favourite singer, but the thing is here she went a little overboard. If you take out the music-back up vocals what she is singing has actually nothing to do with all at once, which was and is a soft and sweet song with proper power applied when needed, at least that's how whitney originally did it and it was amazing. Knowing how whitney sang live i get that some times she tends to mix the songs up a little, put a little more soul than in the studio version, going maybe a little bit down the gospel music path. But the thing is she almost always did that amazingly, alwaysgiving something different, a different feeling, but here it's really what i said before, if you leave it to just what she sings, the melody of her voice and tone it has nothing to do with all at once. It kind of reminds me of when she sang Amazing grace back in 1994 in south africa i think. It's not that i disliked these 2 performances, but they are the only ones i actually feel weird about (and i have watched countless whitney videos). She wasn't awesome for sure, nor terrible though, i just would have prefered it if she stayed more to the song. But anyway, that's why we love whitney, i hate singers trying to sound the same in live as they do in studio, if fans want to just hear the singer sing they can put a cd on, lives should have something more. whitney made every live a unique experience.
i understand she never did sing her songs the same way again and again, she always did put a different feeling to them and through the years they've changed. I'm also aware of some versions after this time but this is the only one that sounds "off" to me. The thing with Whitney is that she couldn't or maybe didn't have the time to think how she could change the way she sings to how her voice had become. It's clear in many videos of NBL tour that she tried to do songs the way she did them 15-20 years ago, but whether we like it or not her voice changed in these years, meaning she couldn't do these things any longer. Don't get me wrong, i really loved her voice of that time too, but not when she tried to force her voice to do things her younger voice did.
+RamajX She's been performing this version since 1990, actually. She composed it into what she would call her "Love melody" which consisted of All at Once, Where do broken hearts go, All the man I need, Saving all my love and Didn't we almost have it all (not in order but you get it.)
I'm familiar with her "Love Medley". She recorded All at Once for her first album, so she'd be singing this song for years. In the 80's and early 90's, she sang this song as a lush ballad with a bigger production. In the mid 90's, she started singing a dramatically more simplistic rendition in which she crooned over the backup singers, usually seated the whole time. Can you tell me a performance from 1990 where she sat and crooned while the backup singers did most of the singing? (I'm not trying to sound like a smart-ass, I'd actually like to know)
RamajX For starters, her Brunei tour in 1996. Another would be her 10-date tour of Taipei, Japan in 1997, in support of her then new movie album/soundtrack "The Preacher's Wife". She would do this as well in Germany 1998 (before her My love is your Love tour). She stopped singing the Love medley after her 1997-1998 tour and just used "Saving all my love" and "Until you come back" as two of her "classics".
poor poor whitney. she shouldn't be doing a tour. her voice could probably do special venues...one or two songs here and there....but to go on tour with her voice in this condition is HORRIBLE. she destroyed the greatest vocal cords ever to have existed, in my opinion....and thats ok. we all make mistakes. she needs to accept for what it is, though. another few years of sobriety and MAYBE her voice will be ready. here's to hoping...
^but for some sane people, drugs are NEVER a choice. no matter how depressed they are or crazy their lives are. whitney houston should be glad that she survived drugs. but her voice didnt.
No matter how big a fan you are of Whitney, it was a tragic mistake by her or her management team (or both) to send her out on the road sounding and singing like this. This is absolute garbage and the fans should've demanded their money back. Vocally and artistically, she was in top form up until 2000. After that, the cracks became more widespread and visible.
+Maurice Rivers Her voice started to go away for me in 1992. The apparent vocal registration problems were becoming a huge issue (something her contemporary Natalie Cole expressed in her book and later would show when she would perform a tribute for Ms. Houston during her BG era). She had developed a nasal tone in her middle lower registers and she would do more "melismas" to hide the fact she couldn't sustain higher pitches (E5 to G5) without straining or losing her breath.
+deadwalke You are dead right. It was during the "Bodyguard" years that Arista started working her harder than ever, with tours and concerts back-to-back. She had no chance to rest, because promoting the movie became a full-time job within itself. I read somewhere that this was time period in which she developed nodules on her throat, which you referenced above. Apparently, she told Chaka Khan than she was scared to have them removed, in case the surgery took away her singing voice permanently. For me, 80% of anything she sung after her role in "Cinderella" with Brandy was not worth listening to.
Maurice Rivers I'm going to be honest with you while the voice may not have had it's youthfulness (1983-1988) nor the consistency but it had a much improved lower range, her chest voice was much fuller and consistent (despite apparent vocal problems in her top register.) She learned how to better appropriate her lack of vocal stability for more emotion. Her 10-date tour in Taipei, Japan shows her voice in GREAT shape (better than her 1998-2000 YLIML era or even better than her IYBT-BG era.) 1997 was a magical year with only ONE bad performance (the Second day in Washginton, DC which was taped for a live special on HBO.) Cinderella's "Music in You" is just so magical in so many ways. The nuances of her voice came together so beautifully in that one project.
Management didn’t care about Whitney. They only cared about money and sent her out like a lamb to the slaughter. 😞 This performance doesn’t definitely Whitney. She had given the world more than enough of herself and god given talent. Miss you Nippy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my God, you're COUGHING while singing. STOP singing song like this until your voice is well recovered. they used to be easy songs for you but now if you push yourself to sing them, your voice will never sound good again. Let it rest. We can wait. We will always support you.
its almost as if she FORGOT how to sing!?!?...when you are vocally gifted as she IS / WAS...you should know what key to sing in...its as if she STILL believes she has the Voice of her prime and is contiuning to sing the songs as they were arranged back then when her voice was a phenomenon.....is her music director and background singers scared to tell her the truth??...i love whitney houston...and i care for her so where i wouldnt want her to embarrass herself..
Wow. She is struggling here, older, overweight, and voice shot. She was trooper however and the show went on. Sad that she lost her life and voice to drugs.
@Spinprovisation If you love her, you should let her rest. Don't you see what happened. I always love Whitney but her voice is too weak now. It MUST be rested. Whitney don't have to push her voice just because of foolish one like you. I will never be angry at her if she sound too bad, I'm just worry about her and her health.
Stop talking through the songs and SING THEM.. THE MORE SHE USES THE MUSCLE THE BETTER IT WILL GET.. I feel bad for her..though.. those drugs did a number on her.. I do pray she will get better.. but it angers me when she talks through a song..
I am a big Whitney fan - but that is just embarrassing to watch. The songs sound nothing like the originals - the only singing done is by her backing singers!! She should never have toured and we should have just remembered her the way she WAS. Her voice is deep and croaky - because of the drug abuse. no doubt. I've got tickets to see her in London in April - I just know it's going to be a let down - shame, coz I really love her - but I think she's had her day
people praising the addict in this video should have their ears checked. she was talksinging, cracking, and dodging all the high belts. she has PERMANENTLY ruined her legacy with this tour and inferior, inferior vocals.

i miss her and im crying right now 😢😢😢
This hurts me. I can’t imagine losing my voice much less the voice. It must have pained her
Loosing one's voice is a trauma. People dont realise that. They think it's nothing. It is very painful.
She knew the risks of taking cocaine and smoking cigarettes for decades. Unfortunately, her own choices did this to her.
@@TTUploads When you’ve been taking them since you were a teen, you typically get used to it. So you are less likely to stop
I’ve said this too, just imagine losing your voice especially one like Whitney’s voice. It definitely pain her when the realization hit her. It’s so sad to see it.
Maybe she thought her wonderful singing voice was indestructible. Sad. 😔
She was a great and true Performer. I commend her. Singing was her Life. Forever Whitney Houston. Love her.
This is a mere shell of her former brilliant self. At the height of her power none could come close to her strength. Lay down your burdens and rest in peace.

+deadwalke You are dead right. It was during the "Bodyguard" years that Arista started working her harder than ever, with tours and concerts back-to-back. She had no chance to rest, because promoting the movie became a full-time job within itself. I read somewhere that this was time period in which she developed nodules on her throat, which you referenced above. Apparently, she told Chaka Khan than she was scared to have them removed, in case the surgery took away her singing voice permanently. For me, 80% of anything she sung after her role in "Cinderella" with Brandy was not worth listening to.
Maurice Rivers I'm going to be honest with you while the voice may not have had it's youthfulness (1983-1988) nor the consistency but it had a much improved lower range, her chest voice was much fuller and consistent (despite apparent vocal problems in her top register.) She learned how to better appropriate her lack of vocal stability for more emotion. Her 10-date tour in Taipei, Japan shows her voice in GREAT shape (better than her 1998-2000 YLIML era or even better than her IYBT-BG era.) 1997 was a magical year with only ONE bad performance (the Second day in Washginton, DC which was taped for a live special on HBO.) Cinderella's "Music in You" is just so magical in so many ways. The nuances of her voice came together so beautifully in that one project.
Management didn’t care about Whitney. They only cared about money and sent her out like a lamb to the slaughter. 😞 This performance doesn’t definitely Whitney. She had given the world more than enough of herself and god given talent. Miss you Nippy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
she was awsome and u need to get a life more than a doctor
what was so awesome? she was screaming notes while constantly cracking and losing her voice.
This is painful to watch.
check your ears too, wash them, maybe they are dirty
Sad, her voice had gone but not her musical habilities to harmonize
Thats just it, SHE CANT OUT SING HERSELF >>>>>>> YET
Oh my God, you're COUGHING while singing. STOP singing song like this until your voice is well recovered. they used to be easy songs for you but now if you push yourself to sing them, your voice will never sound good again. Let it rest. We can wait. We will always support you.
I said so? Hahaha
She struggled to get thru this
its almost as if she FORGOT how to sing!?!?...when you are vocally gifted as she IS / WAS...you should know what key to sing in...its as if she STILL believes she has the Voice of her prime and is contiuning to sing the songs as they were arranged back then when her voice was a phenomenon.....is her music director and background singers scared to tell her the truth??...i love whitney houston...and i care for her so where i wouldnt want her to embarrass herself..
Yes they were scared of her. She could be out of control.
Wow. She is struggling here, older, overweight, and voice shot. She was trooper however and the show went on. Sad that she lost her life and voice to drugs.
she's on drugs????
It's worse than the last days of Judy Garland - tragic on so many levels - mostly musical. She should really just stop.
Why she lost her golden voice?
@Spinprovisation If you love her, you should let her rest. Don't you see what happened. I always love Whitney but her voice is too weak now. It MUST be rested. Whitney don't have to push her voice just because of foolish one like you. I will never be angry at her if she sound too bad, I'm just worry about her and her health.
Stop talking through the songs and SING THEM.. THE MORE SHE USES THE MUSCLE THE BETTER IT WILL GET.. I feel bad for her..though.. those drugs did a number on her.. I do pray she will get better.. but it angers me when she talks through a song..
Who cares about the young singers.... She can't compare the Barbara, Donna, Aretha, Linda... you kids are so sickening...
This is horrible!!!!!!! Omg. I feel so bad for her.
STOP MAN ... PLEASE
I am a big Whitney fan - but that is just embarrassing to watch. The songs sound nothing like the originals - the only singing done is by her backing singers!! She should never have toured and we should have just remembered her the way she WAS. Her voice is deep and croaky - because of the drug abuse. no doubt. I've got tickets to see her in London in April - I just know it's going to be a let down - shame, coz I really love her - but I think she's had her day
she is just sickening !
Jesus Christ , how bad has she got???
people praising the addict in this video should have their ears checked. she was talksinging, cracking, and dodging all the high belts.
she has PERMANENTLY ruined her legacy with this tour and inferior, inferior vocals.
A legacy like her can never be ruined as she still breaking records in 2020
You gotta be kiddn'. She sounds awful.
