Funky Monkey she never had to write her own songs. Any song that Whitney song, don’t matter who’s it was. Became Whitney’s. She was the greatest vocalist, not the greatest writer, producer. VOCALIST
I agree. I am a spiritual person and I believe that nothing is by accident and that these souls (Whitney, Mariah, Celine and the like) came here with their chosen (God-given) talent to change the world/make the world a better place. This was their mission in the spiritual realm and they actualized themselves, giving joy to billions around the world.
Part of it. But a lot of it was also learned. Seriously, though--singing is the only art and discipline I know whose practitioners are very often described to simply "have it or not," as if it wasn't a skill that can be learned through technical guidance and enhanced through influences and life experiences. Tell that to gymnasts or dancers, and they'll laugh at you.
Beverly Waits You are right, a person must have the building materials for a mansion before it can be built. If Whitney's mother hadn't taught her how to develop and harness that raw power it would have been wasted and not used properly and would NOT have been as soul piercing as Miss Whitney Houston was and still IS! The teaching and development IS needed. "Do yo thang Mr. Henny!" You are on course Mr. Henny but you already know that Sir! 😉
She also probably inherited it...her close relatives were Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin and her mum was an amazing successful singer too. Nature and nurture all rolled up in one. She was the best.
@@funkymonkey299 Funky you are incorrect, like Aretha, she played the piano. Do your research before you make such inaccurate pronouncements! I have seen and heard her play.
All great vocalist are musician's. Their voice is their instrument. That why people like Frank Sinatra, Billie Holliday, Aretha Franklin and Barbara Streisand will never be forgotten.
Alycia Cooper Makes me cry, as did Karen Carpenter, sad emotional, but so incredibly beautiful. Tears when I listen to such beauty, no one can come close to her. Never, ever. Jennifer Hudson has my respect, but Whitney was the best ever.
No one can touch Whitney's voice. There are great singers, and there is Whitney Houston. She is called the voice for a reason. Such a gift! It's beyond impressive. It's a complete experience.
Does anyone else agree that Whitney was an absolutely gorgeous woman? I think when she did The Bodyguard she looked and sounded fantastic. I do miss her live singing and putting out new songs. Simply amazing.
She was tall, thin and had a beautiful face. Her smile was infectious. I always wondered why Clive aged her on purpose with the hair and gowns yet he didnt sex her up to compete with Janet, Madonna, Paula and them.
There are so many from Whitney. This is not even among my favorites at all. She´s that legendary. There are things that make someone special and she had it.
Honestly I think her performance of I Loves You, Porgy/And I am Telling You/ I Have Nothing Medley is probably her best of all time, and I have watched A LOT of her performances. It is a TRUE master class on vocals and performance. If there is any performance that should be studied it is surely that one. It is 10 minutes of mind blowing musical magic!
@@dedreandixon4620 I liked that performance too, but I think her performance of One Moment In Time at the Grammy's is her best, and probably the best in Grammy's history.
I was playing metal guitar while she was in her prime...but now as an older man, I can see what all the hype was and is about. She may very well be the best singer ever! She has something that there isn't a word for...i imagine God Himself gets chills while she sings
I don't think God gets chills but I am sure he is pleased at his creation. Jehovah is infinitely beyond the BEYOND!!! Great respect you show for the Great Miss Whitney Houston though!
I didn't think I could enjoy Whitney Houston's great voice more, but hearing *why* she's so great from a vocal professional adds a richness to my enjoyment of her incredible talent.
This was most the most informative reaction I’ve ever watched on TH-cam. I learned new terminology and now know how to identify things on my own singing that i already do. Thank you for this. Whitney was a true talent.
This man is "Real about Voice" he loves it. What's even better is the fact that he cannot hide it when he encounters true blessing and greatness! We all need someone like this in our lives. No guesswork, no danger...Just TRUTH!!! We applaud you Mr. Henny!
John I had the privilege of seeing her twice in the 80's and 90's. You summed it up. She had Every single person in the audience in the palm of her hand. Her voice in person does not compare to video. Miss her so...
E Prince Please do do more John and Sarah. Mahalia . And some that don t have her vocal control such abbey Lincoln,Chris Connor ,Honey Gordon.,Betty Roche ,Jeanne Lee And from other style j Norman ,L Price Giovanna Daffini
Greatest singer of all time. Some people like to say that Mariah Carey is better but I think Whitney's voice sounds more natural and has a rich sound that Mariah just doesn't have. Maybe Whitney just does a better job of conveying emotion in her voice than what Mariah does IDK.
It just depends on personal preference. Where Mariah excelled, Whitney didn’t. Where Whitney excelled, Mariah wasn’t as proficient. Their voices are like night and day. Mariah has stage fright, Whitney didn’t. Whitney gave her all on stage, Mariah was much more experimental snd exploratory in the studio.
She was taught how to sing by her mother Cissy Houston and her family were gospel singers. Her cousin was Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin was a close friend to the family since she was born. That’s why she sang the way she did, she was taught by the greats.
Go to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website and vote daily for Whitney to be in the Hall of Fame. She should have been voted in before now. It is a mockery that she and Chaka are not in the Hall of Fame.
Your reaction to her performance was just as commanding as her performance. Without the technical how and why, there wouldn’t be a wow in the delivery of sound. You certainly did her justice.
One of her best performances, she is undoubtedly the greatest female vocalist❤️ I’d love to see your reaction to her Love Medley in 1991 Welcome Home Heroes. God bless
John your reaction to Queen Whitney's performance was excellent the way you broke down each part.Whitney was truly a master class in Vocals there will never be another Talent like Ms.Houston please react to more of her performances.
This wasn't a video. This was an experience! I learned so much. I didn't know there were like names for the things she did. Also, you pointed out the way everyone was working in concert with each other. It's easy (especially with Miss Whitney) to only focus on the vocalist so thanks for that. Yes, she wasn't just a singer, she was a musician. A master. To me she will always be the best ever. Thanks for letting me share in your joy! You really are very skilled and knowledgeable at what you do.
We were blessed to have heard her voice. Many will come behind her and will sound like Whitney, but will be missing something. There will NEVER be another Whitney Houston. #RIPWHITNEYHOUSTON⚘🕊⚘
Brian Gosik We forgive you. We have all made mistakes in our lives with regard to bad choices but unlike Whitney Houston we went through our missteps in near absolute privacy...Nearly the entire world watched her go through hers and judged her then threw her away. You can't deny the talent though she was thee BEST!!! Many other famous singers will and have said so.
Marcus Ward your comment. 👌🏻 So eloquent. She certainly had her demons, yes, so very sad. But we must remember what’s important Her voice was incredible. And her talent is undeniable. I choose to focus on that.
This was one of my favourite performances from her. To learn from your insight that she was controlling the band rather than the conductor makes it that little bit more awe inspiring. I’ve often watched & thought they must have rehearsed this hundreds of times to anticipate what she was about to do next. When really she was listening to the audience & taking it at her own free will, in order to give them exactly what they wanted & the band came along for the ride. I’m thrilled that a professional coach like yourself displayed some respect & decorum by choosing a performance from when she was at the top of her game rather than one where you could tear her vocals apart. We all know the ending by now & true fans & inspiring singers aren’t interested to see that again. When I think of Whitney I always think she was loved by millions yet she was one of the most lost & lonely individuals on the planet. That’s the showbiz world, plenty of yes men securing their 25% but no one of real substance. If you’re thinking of entering this world keep your wits about you & make the decisions that feel right in your gut.
There can be no argument that Whitney is nothing less than the Voice of my lifetime. What an incredible privilege to have watched her live. Her unsurpassable brilliance has no peer.
This has been one of my favorite reaction videos of Whitney. You broke everything down while teaching. You brought up things that shows her musicality and her ability to lead the band effortlessly. Thank you
This was so informative and the best vocal coach breakdown I have heard on the Tube. Whitney was truly something. It's a gift to have lived to witness her live on tv.
I have always adored Whitney. All her concerts were wonderful ; but this performance is divine. Her music lives on forever and forever. I'm so glad. I lived in her lifetime. She is missed greatly.
I really enjoyed watching your coaching on Whitney Houston's voice. As a singer myself she is the Ultimate Voice, and there will never be another. Her voice after all these years still bring tears to my eyes.
This performance always brings tears to my eyes. Her soulful control in the song is unmatched. You are so right how she was able to vocally dance within the measures. Whitney’s long time musical director back then was Ricky Minor. He knew how to conduct the band to give Whitney what dynamics she needed musically. Total study guide here.
I just was suggested this video...probably because Whitney is MY FAVORITE SINGER EVERRRRR and I've watching her performances all day..I love the way YOU broke it down and explained the vocal simplistic....I INSTANTLY subscribed....anyone who loves Whitney is good by me.. 😊
I love Whitney so so much. She was such a masterful storyteller. Everything worked - her looks, voice, smile. You could tell she loved her audience as much as she loved the music. She was incredible. This was a beautiful reaction. Thank you so much.
John you are hands down the best vocal coach on here. When other worry about outfits and movement, you focus on the actual voice which is what we pay attention to the most. Who critique with explanation, you go back and correct what it should've been & you don't stop the video every 5 seconds. Great job, I was happy to subscribe to your channel !
Whitney was simply one of the greatest pop singers of all time and her phrasing was what made her special. My first job out of school was as a radio announcer way back in the 80s. I did midnight to dawn on a station that no one listened to. The very first song I ever introduced was Whitneys I will always love you. I was about 18 years old, alone in a studio, in the middle of the night, for the very first time and nervous as hell. I'd never heard the song before but I introduced it and played her loud in my headphones. I have been a fan ever since!
Yep I feel like was one of the luckiest people on earth to have seen her live right in the beginning of her career at a concert here in the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid 80s. Whew what a voice she had. My soul is rattled into and ripped out of heaven every time I hear her sing.
Whitney could belt it out, but rarely oversng, she could generate enormous volume yet also had an agile voice and her live renditions were often superior to her studio recordings. In an industry saturated with gimmicks, she was the real deal. An icon that combined both a a voice of a generation with an intelligent musical interpretive wit. There are many fantastic singers who can say when at their best they are wonderful performers, however when Whitney was at her best she was one the all time best vocalists, a gold standard in music and a benchmark by which vocals are judged. RIP The Voice
I actually love his analysis because he is basically telling us all just how great that she is/was as a singer and that the majority of singers do not have those gymnastics in their voices.....Whitney's voice is simply SOUL TOUCHING!
I was 16 when this aired and I had never SEEN a singer sing a hit record like this with the changes in the arrangement ---it really blew my mind. I recorded the performance on VHS and cherished it for years...I'm so pleased to hear a teacher's notes on what Whitney accomplished that night.
I get goosebumps when I hear this!!!! A good song deserves so many likes!!!!! Especially Whitney Houston!!! She’s remarkable and everything about her is just wow 🤩
@@JohnHennyVocalStudio How could you breakdown her voice so professionally good and yet even I who's dull in music analysis could easily understand 😭 Asante sana baba🙏❤️🇹🇿
She was actually very sick while singing this performance, and had lost her voice in the week prior too it. You can actually see her spit out her cough drop towards the end of the performance (12:15 min of this video)
It was a hair from her wig people! Whitney knew how to breathe deep and well and a cough drop would most assuredly fly down her throat and choke her. No educated singer would do that. Certainly not Whitney Houston!
I think she was the greatest singer of all time!! The most beautiful voice ever. Period. It’s so sad how she died and the things that happened in her life, but we serve an awesome God who loved her. I hope to see her in heaven singing with the angels....
gmcconcord Truly, I had no idea how much went into singing until your explanation. I am amazed. Whitney was amazing! A beautiful voice, Indeed a great musician. There’s no one like Whitney!
There will never be another woman with the talent and absolute beauty of Whitney Houston. Now she is most beautiful angel singing for our Lord and savior!!!

Whitney Houston, the greatest female vocalist of all time in my humble opinion
C.L Cox totally agree
One of the greatest voices to ever walk the planet.
Breaks my heart how she abused her body and her voice. She was an amazing artist until drugs became more important than anything else.
No doubt about that😍😍😍
Absolutely agree with you! Gives me chills EVERY TIME.
And that is why Whitney deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Please vote daily for her to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. She deserves to be there. Go to their website and vote.

I am not a religious person by nature .. but Whitney's voice makes me believe in some higher power! That is just phenomenal talent!
I am a religious person and this is one reason why I believe in a higher power. This was a GOD given talent no doubt.❤

Agreed. I’ve always thought the same thing.
It's called "the anointing"...cannot be analyzed. A gift from GOD.
What Whitney had could never be taught, that was pure God given talent.

She sure did!

She was gifted beyond belief
i don't think she learned it..it just came natural for her born singer's don't need to be taught they dont need lessons
I miss Whitney so much.....
That's the truth, i loved it when she did her own echoes❤❤❤❤
I’m in a puddle of tears. The loss. I was in middle school when her first album hit. She was the soundtrack to my life.

Makes me cry, as did Karen Carpenter, sad emotional, but so incredibly beautiful.

I have always adored Whitney. All her concerts were wonderful ; but this performance is divine. Her music lives on forever and forever. I'm so glad. I lived in her lifetime. She is missed greatly.
I agree with many of you. She is “The Voice” , the greatest of all time
I really enjoyed watching your coaching on Whitney Houston's voice. As a singer myself she is the Ultimate Voice, and there will never be another. Her voice after all these years still bring tears to my eyes.
Thank you, Latashia!
Whitney is one of the most talented songstress we will ever have, personal life aside. She was truly a gifted entertainer.
Whitney put that stank on it!!! Man, I miss her!!!! ❤❤
Quinshun Carswell ugh... I am pained here on Earth, every time I think about her being gone. She was a force!!
Your a true teacher. The explanation is beyond superb.
Makes me want to watch The Bodyguard so I can hear the whole AWESOME soundtrack!
She gives me goosebumps every time 😭😩🙌🏾🙌🏾
Whenever a musician hears a real musical performance, he gets the stankface!!!😝😝😝
🤣
That's because it's so good it hurts
This performance always brings tears to my eyes. Her soulful control in the song is unmatched. You are so right how she was able to vocally dance within the measures. Whitney’s long time musical director back then was Ricky Minor. He knew how to conduct the band to give Whitney what dynamics she needed musically. Total study guide here.
I just was suggested this video...probably because Whitney is MY FAVORITE SINGER EVERRRRR and I've watching her performances all day..I love the way YOU broke it down and explained the vocal simplistic....I INSTANTLY subscribed....anyone who loves Whitney is good by me.. 😊
Like this comment if you grew up listening to Miss Whitney Houston!!! RIP Whitney!!!!❤️
Missing Whitney !
I love Whitney so so much. She was such a masterful storyteller. Everything worked - her looks, voice, smile. You could tell she loved her audience as much as she loved the music. She was incredible. This was a beautiful reaction. Thank you so much.
She was a Proffessional singer, we lost a gifted soul way too early . Still missing her
When Whitney was on stage she was always in charge what a master
she was the best. love how she can switch to falsetto. smooth.
John you are hands down the best vocal coach on here.
When other worry about outfits and movement, you focus on the actual voice which is what we pay attention to the most.
Who critique with explanation, you go back and correct what it should've been & you don't stop the video every 5 seconds.
Great job, I was happy to subscribe to your channel !
Whitney was simply one of the greatest pop singers of all time and her phrasing was what made her special. My first job out of school was as a radio announcer way back in the 80s. I did midnight to dawn on a station that no one listened to. The very first song I ever introduced was Whitneys I will always love you. I was about 18 years old, alone in a studio, in the middle of the night, for the very first time and nervous as hell. I'd never heard the song before but I introduced it and played her loud in my headphones. I have been a fan ever since!
She is simply wonderful :) luv u Whitney !
Yep I feel like was one of the luckiest people on earth to have seen her live right in the beginning of her career at a concert here in the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid 80s. Whew what a voice she had. My soul is rattled into and ripped out of heaven every time I hear her sing.
Superb !
There will never be another one like her.

Yes there will.. dont say that
Kavin Williams no there won’t be
Thanks John. Really fun hearing how you broke that down. What a master she was!
Whitney could belt it out, but rarely oversng, she could generate enormous volume yet also had an agile voice and her live renditions were often superior to her studio recordings. In an industry saturated with gimmicks, she was the real deal. An icon that combined both a a voice of a generation with an intelligent musical interpretive wit. There are many fantastic singers who can say when at their best they are wonderful performers, however when Whitney was at her best she was one the all time best vocalists, a gold standard in music and a benchmark by which vocals are judged. RIP The Voice
Whitney was the best to ever do it. I love your breakdown of this beautiful song.
Whitney Houston voice was flawless, and her singing control was amazing
I miss her so much
That voice
Forever the queen ♥️
Ain’t nobody better than nippy☺️
I actually love his analysis because he is basically telling us all just how great that she is/was as a singer and that the majority of singers do not have those gymnastics in their voices.....Whitney's voice is simply SOUL TOUCHING!
Thank you Nate, glad you enjoyed the analysis.
@@JohnHennyVocalStudio unmatched resonance. We are unlikely to hear a voice like that again in our lifetime.
I was 16 when this aired and I had never SEEN a singer sing a hit record like this with the changes in the arrangement ---it really blew my mind. I recorded the performance on VHS and cherished it for years...I'm so pleased to hear a teacher's notes on what Whitney accomplished that night.
I get goosebumps when I hear this!!!! A good song deserves so many likes!!!!! Especially Whitney Houston!!! She’s remarkable and everything about her is just wow 🤩
We all knew She was a great vocalist because we get chills, but you gave us insight into the magnitude of her Brilliance. Thanks.
Thank you, Ken. Glad you enjoyed.
@@JohnHennyVocalStudio
How could you breakdown her voice so professionally good and yet even I who's dull in music analysis could easily understand 😭
Asante sana baba🙏❤️🇹🇿
She was actually very sick while singing this performance, and had lost her voice in the week prior too it. You can actually see her spit out her cough drop towards the end of the performance (12:15 min of this video)
Joshua Micah no wonder,I thought she was a little off during this performance.
Yes. I recall she was sick during this. A true pro that was able to still deliver the goods even when sick.
Joshua Micah I could tell because Whitney usually had a great high Soprano and she’s not presenting it here.
How she singing with cough drops?
It was a hair from her wig people! Whitney knew how to breathe deep and well and a cough drop would most assuredly fly down her throat and choke her. No educated singer would do that. Certainly not Whitney Houston!
Whitney was truly a Professional vocalist!!
Just simply beautiful!! A real singer!!!
THE VOICE!!!
Please react to whitney Houston a quiet place 1987 please would like to know your view on it.
Crimismyname Butter yessssssss
That song will stop time
Yes!
I think she was the greatest singer of all time!! The most beautiful voice ever. Period. It’s so sad how she died and the things that happened in her life, but we serve an awesome God who loved her. I hope to see her in heaven singing with the angels....
Whitney’s voice does something to your body and your soul. I don’t know what it is.
Hard not to cry listening to her sing. What a loss ! 🙏💜
Thank you sir....fascinating.
Whitney's voice can literally hypnotize you.... I loved this analyze
gmcconcord
Truly, I had no idea how much went into singing until your explanation. I am amazed. Whitney was amazing! A beautiful voice, Indeed a great musician. There’s no one like Whitney!
Whitney is truly a natural she never struggled one moment with any note ! Sung with such ease and control ! Beautiful incredible Voice ! ❤️
Singer in charge: Whitney Houston's Super Bowl performance of The Star Spangled Banner!
No one will ever sing it better
The best, ever
Whitney looked at me and said hello while she was carrying Bobbi Kristina. I shutdown, like a broken computer.
SyriusStar Multimedia I would probably have done the same thing!
I’m shutting down right now !
There will never be another woman with the talent and absolute beauty of Whitney Houston. Now she is most beautiful angel singing for our Lord and savior!!!
Michell Garrison
Amen

Ms.1111 R He (Mr. John Henny) definitely has my vote! I would love to take lessons from him directly. I have so many
Miracle voice indeed!
