CatsWithout Claws how so? She was on key throughout and hit literally every high note she went for! Try again sis! Let’s pretend you didn’t just comment some bs!!!
@@raymond.portraits Her breath support was unstable, her voice was cracking and raspy and the poor woman seemed confused at times. I watched this performance live and I was devastated to see the decline of Whitney. Her performance on the Italian Xfactor was a far better delivery of this song
I love her voice on the last album she released. It sounds like she's "lived it". No, not perfect as she used to but hey....life deals us cards and we gotta deal with that.
"I Didn't Know My Own Strength" is one of my favorite songs, if not amongst the best songs she has done in her whole career, even if it's vocally not her best.
Please do a greatest vocals reaction for Whitney. She was her best vocally from 84’ to 94’. She had one of the greatest head voices in mainstream music and also the best mid belt. Her runs were clean and precise and she could interpret a song like no other!
How this vocal coach last can rate singers like Ariana Grande and Madonna (ESPECIALLY!) more highly over the likes of Whitney Houston is incomprehensible to me. Whitney is one of the greatest singer's who ever lived, irrespective of whether a person is into her kind of music, or not. Madonna is just woeful.
I saw Donna Summer on her last tour. She was 62 years old and battling lung cancer. She sang with the same strong and powerful voice that she had her whole life. No smoking drinking or drugs. She died the same year Whitney did .
I still remember loving this. I didn't think she was high or anything. I just felt she was embarrassed because of the dress situation. You're on tv with millions of people watching with you broken dress strap. She was sober and clean on Oprah. The album also has some fantastic tracks. Salute is a real stand out to me.
Oh Whitney. Drugs destroyed this beautiful creature. Her voice was sooo clean back in the day. This was still a decent performance considering how badly she lost her voice towards the end. Regardless, the world will always love Whitney.
Indeed we will ALWAYS love her ! My God, whenever I listen to her voice as a song of hers come on, it feels like it's coming from heaven, somewhere higher. Such a gift to the world she was :)
Georgina, “Million Dollar Bill” was the first track off of the “I Look To You” album. It was written for Whitney by Alicia Keys. The dress worn in this performance was featured in the music video for this song. You can catch a few glimpses from it from the introductory X-Factor montage, which features clips from the music video. I’m still uncertain as to weather or not the dress actually broke or just came loose. If you pay attention you’ll also notice that she fumbles over the lyrics towards the beginning of the song 2nd line). It should be “They played our song. We hit the floor. He held me strong then we danced the night away.”I still love the energy of this performance and the light in Whitney’s eyes as she sings.
Love Whitney. Miss her. Such a beautiful voice, one of my favorites. This performance obviously doesn’t do justice to her heavenly voice at her peak. Still it was better live than so many others who’ve gotten famous as singers.😂
Whitney is the Vocal Standard: Tone, Power, Clarity, Emotion, Connection, Phrasing, Timing, Vibratto,, Transitioning voice through out her body, Confidence. THE VOCAL STANDARD. P.E.R.I.O.D!
That's what I was thinking. Like really? She obvi don't like "The Voice" it's fine, but the reaction is of the vocals so why u talking about her dress etc.
Walking downstairs in those shoes, no wonder she tottered!! I noticed the breath, too. I thought she dealt with the dress issue very professionally - and then you said it, haha. So glad the dress didn’t come off, and she looked like she was really enjoying herself in spite of it all 🙂
Im a fan of Mariah but I can’t Hate this women .To me it doesn’t matter if people think she was better than Mariah because IMO they were both as talented and it is a honor that both are being considered at the same level. Whitney had a voice to move Obstacles and rocks throughout the way (strong and powerful ) while Mariah has the voice to heal and give faith( angelic and beautiful ). Both will go down as the best Vocalist of all time
Commenting and doing the real thing are two different things . Her courage performing Infront of live audience in spite of her voice deteriration was the one that we really appreciate the most.
@@mikeyjohn9903It's the one thing that annoys me about her channel as well. She always favors Mariah and never has watched any fantastic Whitney performances. One of Mariah's many onstage mishaps should be in this video series, so it'll be interesting to see if she includes one.
who really cares about her dress? Yes it was a shame her voice was gone, but Whitney was already a legend way back in the 90's, she had nothing to prove.
Around this time she's suffering "emphysema" , a lung disorder... that's why most of her clips during the "I look to You" promo and the nothing but love Tour ( which I prayed was never Done) she's out of breath...
I think the issue is that she was trying to sing the way that she used to, and her voice was capable of doing that. I recommend watching her "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" performance from the American Music Awards, because she did fantastic!
Despite all of the factors at play here, she is still vocally superior than anybody performing today. It’s a depressing tragedy what happened to her voice through the years, she was on a trajectory for destruction and couldn’t find her way off of it, and it’s a stark reminder that addiction does not care if you are a mega-superstar with millions and millions of dollars or just a random person on the street. It’s an equal-opportunity life destroyer. The sad part is that all it really ensures is that if you do fall down that rabbit hole, the world will be watching while it happens. My heart breaks for Whitney. She was a tormented soul from the beginning...it’s just that nobody knew. I wonder if she was ever truly happy.
I think the performance was great: she belted all the way up to Eb5 (4:54) with enough support, she’s doing classic Whitney runs and riffs, resonant C5/C#5s throughout, the only real problem was the dress, which I barely noticed 💁🏾♀️ Even the rasp fits in with the groove of the song. If you wanna react to the best Million Dollar Bill, it’s the MDB from the Italian X-Factor. Her best performance from this era overall is definitely the I Didn’t Know My Own Strength from the ‘09 AMAs if you wanna continue reacting to this era. She definitely still had it. Also, her pregrammy performance in ‘09 is phenomenal.
Yeah, but Whitney's vocal decline wasn't naturally coming with age! She was a chain smoker. And smoking for as long as she did made her voice deeper/raspier.
I hate when people don't research but speak on someone. The industry is full of cocaine users. The only thing that damaged her voice was cigarettes and maybe over use in her prime. The REAL vocal coaches told us that
I don't see why people are so critical of this performance...the vocals weren't even that bad...the biggest problems were the dress obviously and the fact that they made her move around so much...I would be out of breath too lol
Whitney was the greatest voice ever to be heard. She sang more in fifteen years than most artists sing in double that time, the demand for her live vocals was just that overwhelming.
It's so easy for us to sit here and judge Whitney but we have no idea what was going on in her life and I HATE HATE HATE how people judge her on her voice no way you don't get to do that this performance wasn't her best but she carried on after that's dress came open bar that she was amazing enerjectic and great as always
My friend was at a Whitney show here in Newcastle and it was so bad that when she showed me footage on her phone I was nearly in tears - other people have posted theirs all you need to search for is ‘Whitney Newcastle I will always love you ‘ heartbreaker
@Ad Lockhorst Whitney Houston at her prime was amazing, she ha done of the richest and the most velvet voices . here is logically that her voice is ruined because of cigarettes, cocaine and alcohol. But she is a legend and is not overrated at all.
@Ad Lockhorst This case is different, it doesn't make her overrated. Whitney at her prime was amazing , her voice was rich, velvet and powerful and obviously after cigarettes, drugs and alcohol her voice declined. She will be remembered as a great singer at her peak.
So you completely missed the biggest issues with this performance: that she came in too early at the start, then fluffed the lyrics in the first verse. Would have expected a vocal coach to notice
joshmarsters yeah, I agree. It’s obvious her dress bust open, didn’t need an 11 minute video about it when there were a lot more thing wrong with this performance
Everyone was so damn hard on Whitney. I can't blame her for crashing with all that intense scrutiny and pressure to maintain that wild level of success.
Of all performances Whitney Houston did, you looked for one of the worst to judge. Sry, but that's pretty strange, because you usually avoid doing reviews of Whitney Houston.
Whitney returning working with Clive Davis on her last album made that one of her best in 15 years... unfortunately her voice was too much damaged and was not ready for the big tour in 2010. Legend no matter what
You should react to her performance during her prime like 1993 Or 1994, when she sang I Will Always Love You on Grammys or more. Tbh, im not really sastified with this vid bc she don't deserve to be in wtf series. Nice reaction still
The Honest Vocal Coach then why did you make comments on her voice if it was just about the wardrobe malfunction? This is really disrespectful towards Whitney since she has passed. Put her in your tribute series instead. Very disappointed. And I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Be honest georgina, you just don't like her and want to ignore her when she was at her best. It's fine, I'd rather you just ignore her rather than reacting to videos when she was still very addicted to drugs.
have you done a video on how to get a nice vocal growl? if not please could you do one? im really into performing jazz and blues and would love to learn how to do a slight vocal growl from time to time, but in the right way. i have to agree with the comments about her voice (though it wasn't what it once was) is 1000% better than the rubbish we have now.
I remember my premier in USA a decade ago. A listener brought me the most beautiful dress with my logo embroidered, I felt compelled to wear it on stage and it was a very tight and short corset. Halfway through I felt my boobs might pop up. I made the best to assess but I was so distressed. Pucs from that concert were like "almost" It was so evident the lady gifted me an underchemise for the dress next performances and an extension to sew on. People did not notice much vocally but I felt wardrobe malfunction distracted me a lot
Wow... this was very disrespectful to make this into a “WTF” video. Whitney is not even here to defend herself! I have seen this exact performance, and yeah there were a lot of things that went wrong. But ultimately, it’s how she carried on that was true professionalism. I think it is very unfair that this video was made on Whitney. Especially knowing that her lifestyle completely changed her voice. Also, Whitney had Emphysema which is a respiratory disease, this was in her autopsy report. So, of course she was out of breath. I really think this was made out of poor taste and for views. It would have been okay if you gave her more props, but you didn’t. And I know that your whole branding is “Honest Vocal Coach” but there are just some things you just shouldn’t touch, and “bad” performances of people who have passed should not EVER be touched. I suggest you do the Mariah Carey New Year’s Eve performance if you haven’t already for a WTF video. I mean if your bias towards Mariah hasn’t steered you away from making that video.
There was still a good voice in there and technique, but unfortunately her lifestyle took the toll on her beautiful voice. Still a queen and legend. We lost her too soon and her daughter RIP to the queens
Why do you always react to Whitney's worst performances, when she was past her prime. You always do this. You react to Whitney once in a blue moon and you choose this!? Yet, you react to Mariah and Celine all the time and react to their best, most iconic performances. That's not fair! And you call yourself "the honest vocal coach". You obviously have a bias.
What iconic performances of Mariah's had she reacted to? She's only reacted to current 2018/2019 Mariah which is basically the same age as Whitney before she passed.( And they were not all her best, at all) I'm unsure about Celines performances
M W your so right she is not honest vocal coach she is very biased towards mariah and celine and Does Not give the Praise The Voice,Legend&Icon deserves
I agree it's a shame really. But it is what it is, there are other vocal coaches on TH-cam who react to whitney in her prime. This lady is entitled to her bias/feelings.
This was one of those “what went wrong” type of videos and everything was wrong in this performance, it was a disaster. However I’m still expecting her to make a video about Mariah’s infamous New Year Eve performance for the sake of fairness, also because that was as bad as this if not worse.
This definitely wasn’t the best showing for her. I honestly think these big performances were very stressful for her at this point. I can only imagine the pressure she felt with the inconsistencies in her voice. (Side Note: her voice changed but it never left. The biggest problem she seemed to have with it is its consistency. There were moments it would literally soar and be crystal clear.) For a better showing of her voice on this particular song, watch this one: th-cam.com/video/di5_w2NdGFs/w-d-xo.html. Her voice was very clear for that time in her life. But whoever chose that dress for this performance should have been fired. She’s used to moving around in long dresses but this was too long. And then the strap. Smh. And they definitely should have had someone walk her down those huge steps at the beginning. There was a lot going on that seemed to distract her in this moment. Kinda sucks being that she was sadly in a “prove herself” place at this point. She handled it well.
She shouldn't do a tour to promote her album. Because of her personality and her knowledge she would have be a perfect judge. That last tour killed her in my opinion. It must have been a nightmare to be on a stage in front of 10.000 people every night, and be not able to sing properly. That made her doing drugs again. I'm still feeling sad about her passing.
I agree'times change & ppl still exspected the exspectations that she brought to the industry' she broke barriers' and wit whats playin on airwaves now is not talent so her true geniustry talent wouldnt have mattered wit all the crap we got now
Her deteriorated voice still better than half of what we have today in music industry. I miss her so much.
100 % true, I'd rather hear her whisper than hear half of the music out these days
CatsWithout Claws honey when fergie performed that is considered a disaster, Whitney literally sounds good so shut up
CatsWithout Claws how so? She was on key throughout and hit literally every high note she went for! Try again sis! Let’s pretend you didn’t just comment some bs!!!

Whitney was decent here. She’s a legend.
I read on her autopsy her vocal cords were fine but her lunges had been damaged by her lifestyle drugs etc. She will always remain a legend regardless
Señor Loco I saw that too . Vocals are all about breath control . She was so blessed
Everyone knows this....
Anthony Mccully I didn’t know it.
Clive said her cigarette smoking did more damage, by this time she was chain smoking and battling emphysema
@@anthonymccully4002 like someone else said, I didn't either.
Even though her voice wasn't at its best, I loved the way she sang "I look to you" so emotional
I love her voice on the last album she released. It sounds like she's "lived it". No, not perfect as she used to but hey....life deals us cards and we gotta deal with that.
dancelover020 yeah, great album and I like her vocals throughout.
Would you say it was *so emotional baby?*
"I Didn't Know My Own Strength" is one of my favorite songs, if not amongst the best songs she has done in her whole career, even if it's vocally not her best.
Her last album is autotuned tho
She does not lip sync all her performances! she's a QUEEN!
Please do a greatest vocals reaction for Whitney. She was her best vocally from 84’ to 94’. She had one of the greatest head voices in mainstream music and also the best mid belt. Her runs were clean and precise and she could interpret a song like no other!
Your comment will go unnoticed. This lady doesnt really rate whitney, she would rather give props to rihanna and madonna for "singing"
How this vocal coach last can rate singers like Ariana Grande and Madonna (ESPECIALLY!) more highly over the likes of Whitney Houston is incomprehensible to me. Whitney is one of the greatest singer's who ever lived, irrespective of whether a person is into her kind of music, or not. Madonna is just woeful.
84' to 97'
Even her voice wasn’t in its best moment, she did her best as always.
I love how she said "lippy" in her accent, it's such a British word lol.
Who said lippy? I'm confused lol
While This performance might not be that good, She Will always be known as a Legend😇
Please Do her as a Tribute!
HERE FOR QUEEN WHITNEY!!!
She did wayyyy better during her Italy performance of this song
In her time, she was absolutely one of the greatest vocalists ever. So sad how drugs and poor mental health can tarnish something so beautiful.
I saw Donna Summer on her last tour. She was 62 years old and battling lung cancer. She sang with the same strong and powerful voice that she had her whole life. No smoking drinking or drugs. She died the same year Whitney did .
I was so heartbroken when I found out she died. Because I thought she was alive until recently.
I still remember loving this. I didn't think she was high or anything. I just felt she was embarrassed because of the dress situation. You're on tv with millions of people watching with you broken dress strap. She was sober and clean on Oprah. The album also has some fantastic tracks. Salute is a real stand out to me.
no matter her voice problems at that time she still had the best stage presence of all of her rival divas....
Oh Whitney. Drugs destroyed this beautiful creature. Her voice was sooo clean back in the day. This was still a decent performance considering how badly she lost her voice towards the end. Regardless, the world will always love Whitney.
she NEVER NEVER los her voice.
WHAT??????@@JoseCarlos-cm4xi
it was cigarettes not drugs, that ravaged the voice...cigarettes cause calluses on the vocal chords....
Indeed we will ALWAYS love her !
My God, whenever I listen to her voice as a song of hers come on, it feels like it's coming from heaven, somewhere higher. Such a gift to the world she was :)
Whitney will always be the QUEEN OF ALL TIME There will NEVER BE ANOTHER WHITNEY RIP QUEEN

Good tip on the wardrobe choice! Sadly her vocals went downhill but I think she still sounds good. She’s definitely loved and missed.
Please react to “Didn’t know my own strength” by Whitney on Oprah. That was a pretty good performance especially with all that she’s been through.
I totally forgot about this song. But now I hear it, it brings back memories. Flashback.
Whitney is the Vocal Standard: Tone, Power, Clarity, Emotion, Connection, Phrasing, Timing, Vibratto,, Transitioning voice through out her body, Confidence. THE VOCAL STANDARD. P.E.R.I.O.D!
her performance on the Italian X Factor was way better, she had a very clear tone and she was able to hit high notes for her period, that was stunning
Really? The only time you react to Whitney is a wtf? Noooooo!
She’s reacted to Whitney before.(as part of the Vocal Trinity: Runs., Riffs, Inflections).
Wtf was because of that wardrobe malfunction, not vocal wise or performance wise ✌💪🐆✨
At least its the dress thats Wtf, not Whitney. lol
The girl has clearly something against Whitney
That's what I was thinking. Like really? She obvi don't like "The Voice" it's fine, but the reaction is of the vocals so why u talking about her dress etc.

Mc fan robin hood why would liking Mariah make you hate her
Eddie Fortune thats how it goes most of the time
Liking Mariah over Whitney doesn't mean you're being hateful. It's a preference really. Both were immeasurably talented vocally.
@@mcfanrobinhood I like both, they are different, it will be so boring if i like only one singer.
@@Cheeseredcake9 I like both equally.

Please keep doing videos about Whitney, would love to see you reacting to her live performances from the golden era (85-92). Thank you! :)
Far too hard on her. Everyone’s voice changes and for someone who did a hell of a lot of stuff in her personal life, she was fabulous

omfg I was just thinking this. I'd love to see that. I found the cd single on ebay in 2012 just to get that live in lossless quality lol #SorryEndRant
Her background singers are doing the most of the singing.

Whitney Houston was a professional she gets over all problems that she had when she performed. ❤️🙋🏿
She's always so classy. Stunning.

LMFAO this is her WTF series: she specifically looks for these performances for the format. Keep up.
@@Nocturne22 I would say that are the only series she would do with Whitney Houston. I gave up watching this channel...it's mostly about Mariah Carey.
You hardly ever react to whitney and out of all the amazing performances she has delivered throughout her career you picked this one 🤔🤦🏾♂️
MrSoulshock44 she picked this one because it goes with her wtf moments, such as the dress malfunction
Please please read the title series. I won't say much more because someone already did, and I don't believe in beating a dead horse.
That's the point. It's a series about bad performances.
She is so amazing I love her !!!
Whitney returning working with Clive Davis on her last album made that one of her best in 15 years... unfortunately her voice was too much damaged and was not ready for the big tour in 2010. Legend no matter what
Could we have a video where you explain all the terminology you use with examples from your or other singers please, that would be great!
Her voice had started coming back!!!! damn.... ILY Whitney 😍
The SHADE😂😂 “How do I say this correctly.... they’re young, they have a lot of room to grow..” LOL
Yep. Pure honest Whitney! 🤣
You should react to her performance during her prime like 1993 Or 1994, when she sang I Will Always Love You on Grammys or more.

she still sounded good though, and carried on regardless
Make this woman the new X Factor judge.
Love love love
At least she was very brave to perform live no matter what, whatever it takes and regardless of anything. In short, she did not lipped!

i'm having a whitney binge day and here i am two years later, somebody definitely got fired that day hahaha
This is still good vocally
The dress is failing her but she gives her best! She was unstoppable and untouchable! Still untouchable!
MARIAH and WHITNEY? Always count me in!
May she rest in peace, she will forever be in our hearts
I remember my premier in USA a decade ago. A listener brought me the most beautiful dress with my logo embroidered, I felt compelled to wear it on stage and it was a very tight and short corset.

Her worst is probably still better than most of what’s on the radio tho these days to be fair.
Finally a solo Whitney video even tho you could do some from her prime. #shade
Coz this woman is a mariah fan
Hi how's it going with you how about this floor janson Vocal evolution 1997 - 2016
Her style team really f’d her over making her wear a dress that long for an up beat song, and then not properly securing the strap 🥺 poor Whitney ❤️
Wow... this was very disrespectful to make this into a “WTF” video. Whitney is not even here to defend herself! I have seen this exact performance, and yeah there were a lot of things that went wrong. But ultimately, it’s how she carried on that was true professionalism. I think it is very unfair that this video was made on Whitney. Especially knowing that her lifestyle completely changed her voice. Also, Whitney had Emphysema which is a respiratory disease, this was in her autopsy report. So, of course she was out of breath. I really think this was made out of poor taste and for views. It would have been okay if you gave her more props, but you didn’t. And I know that your whole branding is “Honest Vocal Coach” but there are just some things you just shouldn’t touch, and “bad” performances of people who have passed should not EVER be touched. I suggest you do the Mariah Carey New Year’s Eve performance if you haven’t already for a WTF video. I mean if your bias towards Mariah hasn’t steered you away from making that video.
5:16 how we all felt watching live on TV. This used to be such a funny performance. Now it’s just so tragic 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I like the roughness in her voice at the high notes.
I really miss her, despite her drug abuse she was a true icon.
There was still a good voice in there and technique, but unfortunately her lifestyle took the toll on her beautiful voice. Still a queen and legend. We lost her too soon and her daughter RIP to the queens
I always said that during this time, she could've went to Rock & Roll. She would've been great in that genre
So sad she was such an amazing singer and charismatic women 🤧😭
I knew you'd do this video
She sang another song live at oprah and seemed to be improved a bit. Voice got clearer and more controlled
this is hard to watch Her voice was deteriorating from all the abuse it took. But she had such a lovely voice oh so sad
I’d love to see you react to her performance of I didn’t know my own strength on the Oprah Winfrey show
Why do you always react to Whitney's worst performances, when she was past her prime. You always do this. You react to Whitney once in a blue moon and you choose this!? Yet, you react to Mariah and Celine all the time and react to their best, most iconic performances. That's not fair! And you call yourself "the honest vocal coach". You obviously have a bias.
What iconic performances of Mariah's had she reacted to? She's only reacted to current 2018/2019 Mariah which is basically the same age as Whitney before she passed.( And they were not all her best, at all) I'm unsure about Celines performances
M W your so right she is not honest vocal coach she is very biased towards mariah and celine and Does Not give the Praise The Voice,Legend&Icon deserves
I agree it's a shame really. But it is what it is, there are other vocal coaches on TH-cam who react to whitney in her prime. This lady is entitled to her bias/feelings.
She's not much nicer with Celine. Mariah's the only one she tends to go easy on when she messes up a note.
This was one of those “what went wrong” type of videos and everything was wrong in this performance, it was a disaster. However I’m still expecting her to make a video about Mariah’s infamous New Year Eve performance for the sake of fairness, also because that was as bad as this if not worse.
I hear "what the fur" ✌😉
This definitely wasn’t the best showing for her. I honestly think these big performances were very stressful for her at this point. I can only imagine the pressure she felt with the inconsistencies in her voice. (Side Note: her voice changed but it never left. The biggest problem she seemed to have with it is its consistency. There were moments it would literally soar and be crystal clear.) For a better showing of her voice on this particular song, watch this one: th-cam.com/video/di5_w2NdGFs/w-d-xo.html. Her voice was very clear for that time in her life.
But whoever chose that dress for this performance should have been fired. She’s used to moving around in long dresses but this was too long. And then the strap. Smh. And they definitely should have had someone walk her down those huge steps at the beginning. There was a lot going on that seemed to distract her in this moment. Kinda sucks being that she was sadly in a “prove herself” place at this point. She handled it well.
Queeeeennnn
She shouldn't do a tour to promote her album.
Because of her personality and her knowledge she would have be a perfect judge.
That last tour killed her in my opinion. It must have been a nightmare to be on a stage in front of 10.000 people every night, and be not able to sing properly.
That made her doing drugs again.
I'm still feeling sad about her passing.
I agree'times change & ppl still exspected the exspectations that she brought to the industry' she broke barriers' and wit whats playin on airwaves now is not talent so her true geniustry talent wouldnt have mattered wit all the crap we got now
