Whitney's hit song charting success gave both Babyface and LA Reid their first US number one pop song. Both wrote and produced Im Your Baby Tonight together as duo producers!
Her technique at it's finest, the preciseness, the quickness, the high Gs in her chesty mix, Goodness I can't handle so much greatness, noone did what she did with her voice..
Her vocal performance is amazing but what’s even more impressive is how tight the rest of the band is and how she is one with them. So many people working together seamlessly is a joy to watch.
Yes! Notice they followed her lead! Notice that she knows her vocals and the background singers and the band followed Whitney! This is rare that happens with a singer letting the band and background singers do their thing, but it is still togetherness throughout the entire song! That is singing power from GOD! That is what he gave Whitney!
As a little black girl who grew up in the 80s, besides my mom there was Whitney to look up to. That was enough for me. So when I hear fools like Lizzo and others talk about not having examples, child boo. This is everything
first off, you dont have to tear down one black woman to praise another. second, im almost positive that Lizzo meant BIGGER plus sized singers/pop singers that could serve as an example for her to look up to. open your mind and be thoughtful
No. She destroyed herself. She took all the amazing gifts God gave her and threw them in a six foot hole in the ground like they were dog shit. That is tragic We love her but sadly it wasn't enough for her to love and cherish herself.
That choreography is on point. This song is like a Motown girl group bop, emphasized by the girls dancing with their gloves . Reminds me of Dreamgirls.

Reid.[39] "I'm Your Baby Tonight" also reached the top spot of Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it remained for two weeks.

....Oh, SNAP!! ...I REMEMBER THIS PERFORMANCE!!! Feb., 1991' Alec Baldwin was the Host (One of MANY Guest Host shots, for him...) ...Whitney was VERY spirited vocally in this performance, fiery, strong, & attitudinal....In SHORTS, no less!!...ha-HAA!! (3:22)
I love how at the end of the 2nd verse...she cut the word/note short.... Not sure.If it was intentional, but it definitely shows Nippy was sanging live in FULL EFFECT! LOVE HER SO MUCH!
She might have been a little sick here - she's not pushing her voice to the max.. she did that when she was sick (cold) and wasn't really supposed to sing and strain her vocal cords - coz she didn't like to cancel...
Yes I Alwys remember miss wthitney Houston legacy she is the best ever none like wthitney Houston the one and only wthitney Houston love somuch miss wthitney Houston Alwys fore ever period
LIKE I SAID SHE WAS THE FIRST BLACK YOUNG LADY TO GRACE THE COVER OF 17teen SHE JUST COULDN'T HELP BEING ALL THAT AND DROP DEAD GOOD LOOKS GONE AND KNOW WE WILL NEVER FORGET U THAT VOICE AND LIFE , BOBBYK'S WITH THE PERSON WHO LOVED HER HANDS DOWN YOU TWO CAN REST PEACEFULLY AMEN❤❤❤❤
I MISS WHITNEY!!! And fun fact: yes Baby Face got his first #1 pop song with this hit… also, this song was used as a Blue print for the Themesong of the awesome 90s X-Men cartoon. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Just everything about this song is gold! The background singers are killing it! She KILLED it! And she looks too cute doing it in her cow print shorts! 2:06...yes ma'am! And at 2:15...she's having soo much fun! This performance is super lively! She tore it up! Ms. One-Take wonder!
you know she hit 2 G5s here....and sang the bridge and fast parts easily except the last G#5 BUT THE BUILD UP TO IT I will be your baby ....she touches an F#5/ g5 THERE...the big note. WHAT! g5
I’m out of breath just listening to this. It’s like a first sniff of cocaine…the energy behind this performance. Phenomenal Whitney Houston. Forever our Nippy-Love.
@@chriscooks5437 well…come to think of it…I’ve never done cocaine either but from what they tell me…it’s an upper that gives you life, just like listening to Whitney in this song’s performance. You can relate to the metophor in my original post more now, I’m sure, with this explanation.
Dang , she was amazing that night! I was out of breath just watching her. That bridge didn’t matter she sung that song.( I actually thought she was letting the background singers take that)
Bro.. This song is very difficult to sing, even for sopranos. She doesn't have to hit the high notes every time she sings it. She has nothing to prove.
Such talent! It’s a dirty rotten shame that Clive Davis had her murdered. Like my mother used to say: “Every dog will have their day.”, and his day is coming that’s for sure.
This was such an iconic song. It actually gave Babyface his first number one pop song as a composer! ☺️ Few people know that. 😎
I'm one of those ppl who didn't know that - thanks for sharing!!!
@@cathyreed6723 me too added to the list
Wow good to know i had no idea… i could imagine. The Voice!

@@dedee7288 I know that duh lol
Seriously one of her most difficult songs
Absolutely! It's a masterpiece.
And she delivers . Red hot !
Her technique at it's finest, the preciseness, the quickness, the high Gs in her chesty mix, Goodness I can't handle so much greatness, noone did what she did with her voice..
Exactly. Freaking unreachable
The recorded version of this song, as we came to know it was done in one take, so she could get to the mall and shop.
Legend!
Yup most of songs she did in exactly One Take!
She was truly gifted and really wanted to go shopping 😆😆😆 because "I'm your baby tonight" is very difficult to sing. 👏👏👏
Whitney knew her priorities
That's why they called her "One Take Whitney" :D
A true diva.
The fact that Babyface wrote this song (not maliciously) thinking Whitney wouldn’t be able to technically handle it. She said chile please.
But that was Whitney at her peak. In the early 90's there is nothing the Trinity couldn't sing!
And she did it all in one take, which is crazy!
She never sang the rap live during performances. And shes not singing complete lines either. This almost feels like a rehearsal.
@@chriscooks5437 Rap???
@@Hi.Shadow Right!? The clueless runs deep.
She sang the fuck out of that song... DAYUUUMMMM 💜
lol She sure did!
lol FACTS
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
IN ONE TAKE.
Comment committee please give this person a fuqq'g METAL 🎉😂❤❤
Wow!!!! Musicans gave her a big applause!!! Such an honor for a singer! Genius singer!
Whitney Houston was no less than a genius of a vocalist!
I love how she makes it look easy, but it’s not! #goat #thevoice
Baby she was at the top of her range through this whole song, so effortlessly
Even the musicians are clapping she is soooo full of energy in this one
I’m a big fan of all her songs
Thanks
I miss her voice and dancing
The beautiful and gorgeous Miss Whitney Houston.
2:30 Kirk Whalum breaking his saxophone neck 😂 and then proceeds to be playing the sax. True professional.

It’s sang live what are you? Studio
She burned so bright. My favorite vocal performance of all time. I'll never forget that night!

with rnb and a touch of rap/hip hop

@@odumosuolusegun2781 that was insane!
@@odumosuolusegun2781 A5 she did made easy! Super soprano and its in full chest no mix at all.
The European version was far far better. Of course Whitney could make anything sound gloriously beautiful.
Dead. On. Pitch.
Michael Jackson should’ve been on this song with her
Nobody like her to this day.
😃
Aretha, Whitney and Mariah are the blue print
Yuh. Put simply, you can perhaps sing as well.
But you can’t sing better.
Sorry. You can’t.
Disappointed she had to take the lower options in the melody and lipsync the bridge
that doesn't mean that she couldn't do it!
saw that too but I'm not disappointed...
She always lipsynched the bridge. I noticed her phrasing was completely improvised, and she seemed to have a cold.
Dang , she was amazing that night! I was out of breath just watching her. That bridge didn’t matter she sung that song.( I actually thought she was letting the background singers take that)
She's human.
this performance was a fail vocally she didnt hit the high points
Are you serious? Wth was she hitting supported G5 and decent F#5, plus sustained Eb5!
Let’s hear you sing it! Please sit down
@@ZaleThomas-op4ekAmen
