Lyrics:
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all?
The night we hold on 'til the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all?

Fun Fact: Whitney Houston is the best, and don't argue with me, because I'm right.
No arguments from me 🙏🏽😊
It's fact
Helllyaaaa!!!...😎❤👍👍😘
No objections here bud
You got that right! No argument from me.
I still don't understand how this performance didn't end up on the live album. This is one of her best vocals ever.
This and her Greatest Love Of All for Muhummad Ali!
Just watched. Blew me away. Made me sad at the same time.
No... This is her best vocals everrrr!
YOUZ'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

Wow. No one will EVER sing like her.
Whitney Houston doesn't look up to anyone!
Never

Her 1984 AMA performance is a tie
My Whitney story. I am in my seventies and I was at that concert 3rd row with my friend Gina. This was one of the eight concerts that I saw Whitney in the mid eighties, all in NY state. I met and talked to her on two occasions, once in Lake Placid and also Saratoga. We were obsessed with her and new we were seeing musical history in the making. At Lake Placid, we went to the Holiday Inn where they were staying around noon (the day of her concert) and saw Ricky Miner and some of her band in the lobby. Everyone was nice and told us Whitney would be coming to the restaurant at some point. Gina and I waited in the narrow hallway. About 30 minutes went by and we looked up and there was Whitney, Robyn Crawford and a bodyguard face to face 3 feet away from us. It was probably the most exciting, surreal feeling I have ever had. Having seen all her videos numerous times she was so beautiful like a Barbie doll come to life right before our eyes. It was just the 5 of us. We told her how much we loved her and couldn't wait to see her that night. We talked to her for about 5 minutes and she signed my vinyl album. A little later she came out of the restaurant and signed some autographs. Gina and I talked to Robyn off to the side during that time and she was really cool. We were in the first row that night. We had seats in row 16 already so we gave two girls $100 to change seats with us. Of the 8 times I saw her, 5 of those were 1st or 2nd row from stage. Too see Whitney live was so incredible and there is no doubt in my mind she is the greatest singer of all time (I have seen many of the best during my life). This video at Saratoga Maybe the best of all of her live videos and I feel so blessed to have been there to see it. I remember her telling the audience they were doing the video and everyone was so excited about it. I also met her brother Gary at Saratoga Radisson hotel in the afternoon of her concert and he gave me 2 3rd row seats after I showed him my 300 page album I had made to honor her. She looked thru my album and jokingly asked if I was giving it to her and I said I don't think so, she autographed my album which I still have. I also gave her roses each of the two years she performed at the NY state fair when she did her first song, one being "How will I Know".
seabslew... Lucky!! I can only imagine 💘
Can you tell me if this concert can be got on dvd.
seabslew wow.. you were so bless and lucky to not only attend her concerts but to meet her in the flesh 😲 that is a memory of a lifetime 👌
Robin was her lover, not her bodyguard
alabaster58 she said Whitney, Robin, AND a bodyguard 🤦🏾♀️
I was fortunate enough to see her in concert. My God. There was no one better, in my opinion.
Awesome! I wish I had the opportunity to have seen her live🥺
Lucky you
i wish i could too .. but its too late .. lucky you
Saw her in concert in 1988 and 1993 - best live singer I've ever heard!
I was lucky too to see her live concert in Brunei in 1996...the best years of Whitney...No one compares to her...
Whitney was a gift from God to Mankind ❤
YES she was!
A message to the future generations:
"Don't let Whitney Houston's songs die"
As long as many will remember Whitney Houston, her music will never die.
So true
Yes, I'm 27 years and I wasn't born when she recorded most of her success, but I love her voice and her music. I think her legacy will last forever.
👍🏾
Please don't forget about her
Who else don’t get tired listening/watching Whitney’s videos? Me, everytime I click one of her videos, it takes me 4-5 hours watching her perform.
Same here
Me too! I'm addicted to her videos 😅😅😅
Same. I really miss her 😢
hahaha that's so me
SAME !!!
I am sitting here crying.....my husband of 31 years died 3 and half years ago (it still feels like the day he died). Stephen didn't we almost have it all!!! Love you forever.
Sorry for your lost hun😞 Hugs from Florida🤗
Much love for you from Suriname God loves you😘😘
💔💔
May the Love of The Lord Almighty continue to carry you thru the lost of your Husband. He will beat in your heart forever. 🌷. Love from Camden Nj to you
So sorry for your loss. Wishing you all the best from NL. 🌹
Probably the best live performance ever by any artist. The voice, The feeling, the passion, the clarity, the phrasing, the stage presense, the pure beauty..unmatched!!!
absoloutely
You're perfectly right!
I simply love her!
Amazing voice.
Yes!!
ever? 👀
Why do people ask, "who is listening to this in 2020?" Just say, "I'll be listening to this for the rest of my natural life"
Truth.
Amen
🤗👌👌
That's todays generation. Not mine, and probably not yours too; Thankfully!! ✌
@@ekstertjj I can thankfully say, I am not in this present generation. 😉
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN......The mastery of the human voice.
We should thsnk God - he allowed us to hear Whitney voice
Teresa Doss Amen . Thank you Lord
True that. I am so blessed to have lived this life and listening to this precious gem
thank*
Amen🙏
Thank you Lord.. A wonderful gift ❤
The quality of the microphone can't keep up with the Whitney's angel voice.
I still can’t believe someone like this existed. The voice😢👸🏾
kp5959 I agree conplety
yes :)
Unbelievable
kp5959 And then gets murdered ! :(
@Paolo A. No no my friend.. there will NEVER be another Whitney Houston. It would be EXTREMLEY difficult to have that perfect sound that could literally do anything. Only ones I see come SLIGHTLY and key word here is SLIGHTLY similar/close would be Cissy(in youth), Dionne(in youth), Cece, Glennis, Tarralyn. The difference is there are many talented singers but Whitney was GIFTED! Hands down no questions asked. 💯❤
Not only was her voice majestic she was naturally beautiful
ABSOLUTELY‼️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥‼️
Indeed💫
👌🙏❤️❤️
Agreed. What a fantastic voice and performance. I loved her
Absolutely amazing 👏😍
it's not just the voice. it's the power. it's the control. it's the perfect pitch. this woman is outdoors with a live band and stays in the pocket on every syllable like she's alone in her bathroom.
Basically, I agree. I loved her, but there was flatting in at least 2-3 places in this video.
I couldnt agree more, other artists bring one or two of the quality's you've mentioned here but, whitney brought them all together, outdoors with a live band and gave us total perfection! She has set a bar that will probably never be reached. Truly, the greatest vocalist of all time
@@craigcollins6904 and immediately she goes back on key. What's your point?
@@mariahyohannes the origin comment she is perfect pitch throughout the video. Also you can go flat or sharp and still stay on key.
@@mariahyohannes right… people say the dumbest things.
No smoke no mirrors or backup dancers or lasers just a microphone and live talent
She sang this live even better than she did in the original recording.💚
that what make Whitney so great!. Whitney can sing anyone song, and sing it better than that artist! she was badddd!
LOL XD... so true... :D
like many songs!! i prefer going in the bus listening to live versions of her songs, not because i dislike the original version, just because she gives it all on stage live
Yes!! same here!!
Her live versions are far better than her studios versions!!!
Just pure emotion!
The original pales in comparison.
That "Didn't We, Didn't We, Didn't We" just shot through my soul! Simply amazing. Rest in peace, Queen Nippy.
So truee! I was like "Oh my gosh!!!" the moment she did that. It was truly amazing!!
That’s my favorite part of the performance as well ❤️
YES YES YES I LOVE THE PURE EMOTION AS SHE SINGS THAT PART!
Right there with you! When I even see a thumbnail of this performance, that part comes straight to mind!
My favorite part.
No one will ever beat this
That's a fact! 👍
Maddison Wright no one . not ever . the perfect vocals EVER !
Maddison Wright The BEST!
+Maddison Wright ...awww
no one
Not only was she singing it, she was living it! RIP Nippy, we love and miss you.
Take a good look, guys. We'll not going to see another artist like this in a long time.
Not ever I’m afraid to say....
Ever!!!!!!!!!!!
And we will never because it’s a new generation. No one can entertain the Gen z with just a mic. New artists always have to be a sex symbol now.
Unfortunately so!!!
Facts!!😩😞💔🌹
This video should have over 1 billion views. This is live without studio enhancement. She just stood flat footed and delivered from her soul to the listener's soul. You won't find that in today's singers.
Or ANYONE else EVER, TRULY THE VOICE OF VOICES Whitney is definitely in a class ALL BY HER SELF. What a privilege to have lived in this era to witness Such a mind boggling BEAUTY that was Whitney Elizabeth Houston and a voice that is Truly TRULY THE VOICE OF EVERY LIFETIME throughout History.
It's the anointing of God that makes the difference...but the world doesn't understand that..and yet they still appreciate it. But God!
That Part!!!!!
No people don't know talent these days all the kiddies listen to shit
She proved the world why she was called the "voice". No competition can outsing her after such a performance.
She defines the 80’s era
Caution. Not only
This is better than the studio version by a long mile! Way more soulful, and emotional.
That's why she's the greatest singer of all time: her live performances are at times better than her studio recordings. I love the studio recordings but the live performances, she takes them up to the umpteenth power. :D
I hear you. I always loosely said that true Whitney fans aren't the ones that blasted The Bodyguard soundtrack the week she died. The true fans are the ones that were playing her FIRST TWO albums every day BEFORE she died
Power. Simply amazing.
Live music is always better than in studio.
I can't listen to the studio version anymore. This is insanely beautiful.
She threw it down. Effortlessly. In a leather jacket. That Voice. By far the best of all time. R.I.P. Whitney
Don't forget the gloves, and the perfect hairstyle that complimented her unmatched beauty. Whithney was perfection!
Sure 😊
I love how she goes from slowly easing into the song ... to just killing it. She took her time, and displayed her talent sparingly , and at the right moment. That’s how you sing.
That's one of her weapon. Whitney was crafted
I love this performance for the same reason. She did that with ease. Flawless.
its her dynamics was well crafted.
@@elliemonderondo6891 Yes! Despite having such a huge voice she knew when to pull it all the way back! She also knew when to riff and when NOT to riff.
It was because it was arranged to be that way at that time. Her musical arranger was brilliant just as Whitney putting so much emotion and meaning to the song.
The greatest female artist that has ever lived Whitney houston
True
10 years, 20 years or even 30 years later no one could ever sing like her.
Thank you!
Never!
your right my dear
Xian Yang no one
Hands down, the best singer there ever was or will be.
Incompletely agree.
@Ary: They were trying to say " I completely agree" you idiot.
For a pop singer
@@theoneandonlyhorst Best ever, for any kind of singer.
@@danzig159 You aint seen nothin yet
DIDN'T WE!!!!!!! DIDN'T WE!!!!!!!! DIDN'T WE!!!!!!!
Yeah, we did.
Girl, I cheered for you, I prayed for you, I cried for you.
I wanted you to live. Your voice will never be matched. In fact, to this day, it's still the unmatched champ. 🏆
This is my favorite performance of yours. Rest well, beautiful soul. 🌈 💖
❤❤❤
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
God bless your beautiful soul 😢yes rest easy 👸🏽Whitney
Mine too.
❤❤❤❤
Her voice was pure at this time, no over singing ,straining, or hoarse sound . Just effortless. I choose to remember her this way!!!
Erica Sheppard
You said it all the way right!!
that goes for everyone in their prime no one sounds the same old
I gotta say she does oversing but she does it in a very right and necessary way.
Me too ....I chose.to.remember her this way..thanks
I see
The best vocalist who's ever been on Earth. She reached perfection and it was only her!
Luiz Filhozzi ...amen baby!
Facts
@@jtyler1547 .The Love we. shared. Thanks WEH . We almost had it all .
I agree 100%
There is talent and than there is GIFTED and Whitney was clearly GIFTED 💯
SHE SANG THE HECK OUT OF THIS SONG...
The total heck!!!! There is no heck left for anyone else. None.
Nobody else can even attemp my friend, didnt she almost have it all 😎👍
Yeees she did!👋🏽
Whitney and Karen Carpenter most beautiful voices ever. So clear, makes a grown man cry
DON'T FORGET STREISAND
Whitney Houston and Karen Carpenter very different singers but yes both incredible. Ladies who want you to listen so I always include Nancy Wilson ❤
Their tone was so beautiful
If you didn't know how great a singer she was, you missed an entire era in music, this lady could sing from the bottom of her soul.
Rhett Millsaps True
amen ....... out of this world
The most intelligent live performer ever, this version can only be done by her. Better than the studio version. Her band understood her very well.
Ur absolutely right.. I need these millieums to understand that...
Yes I believe Rickey Minor was her music arranger....simply brilliant
Her musicians were brilliant as well. A perfect combination for that night in New York.
@@sammbabazi2849 Whitney is my all time favorite singer. THIS is my all time favorite by her. It was simply perfection
Yes. There is something about the way she makes new vocal melodies to her songs. I don't know what its called.
the day i hear a better singer than whitney is never gonna happen in my lifetime. THE END!
+Lee Watson
You're so right, It will never happen!
Feel the same Way. It's never gonna happen
+Lee Watson You're 1000% right!
you said that right.
Amen🙏🙏😇🙏❤😭
Who’s here in august 2024❤
We here! The power in her voice
01:24 am 1st September ❤ Still here ❤
No one, absolutely NO ONE, can sing this way LIVE nowadays like Whitney did then! This is absolutely stunning!! 👏💞
Fact 👍😊❤️
Glenn Grace is pretty awesome
glennis grace
Glenis Grace is good but Whitney is GOAT🥰🥰🥰
@@darrenbroughton2665 😘💋💯👌👌
That's why she's named as THE VOICE
No one can take it away.
Whose still loving Whitney in 2019?
Me
ALL DAY!!
Forever...
who has talent like whitneys in 2019?.......NOBODY
Me
Still untouchable and cannot be matched. Whitney we miss you down here.
Yes Whitney at her peak no one will ever come close Rip Whitney
I keep coming back to this performance. This was Whitney at HER BEST!!!
Totally agree she was at her absolute peak with this performance......just incredible
Me too 😍😍😍
She always in peak. You just dont understand that. She is peak now and she is always been. Stfu.
I keep coming back to it too...her performance is just breathtaking.
She had many great performances throughout her wonderful career but, this tops them all for me!
I agree...THE BEST LIVE VERSION...feel it...listen to it..FEEL IT♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I love how in the beginning, it's like she is telling the audience a story, taking them down memory lane etc. However, by the end of it, she was completely immersed in her reminiscing, to the point where you are brought to tears by what she must've been feeling and reliving at the time. It's so rare to see such an honest and vulnerable performance, underpinned by unspeakable talent... Miss you Ms Whitney!!
I love that description
Really? Wow. You can’t tell from here. The emotion poured into this performance is unreal.
Spot on, she never had to fake it, God blessed her and blesses her still, I pray one day I get to meet her in spirit and communicate how deep her music meant in my life and does. Only her.
Vivian..You have said so well what millions of us have tried...Thank you....
The audience was mesmerized
A voice like this comes once in a lifetime
ONCE!
Sharon Anderson .
...once ! 💕💕
Sharon Anderson .....please check our Glennis Grace on UTube! She’s pretty close to Whitney .
Sharon Anderson yes I agree and we’re so blessed we had it, the next generation will have no idea
Glennis Grace
when she sings 'once you know what love is, you will never let it end' I just drop down on the floor sobbing
🤗🤗💔💔💕💜😪😪🌹💙💙
Me too ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
Her emotions expressed during this tune are so believable.
I believe every word she sang
Unbelievable but true 💚
That’s because she was singing it to 1 person sitting in the audience. I was on that tour with them.
@@PerfectlyIimperfect1 Who is that person??
@@PerfectlyIimperfect1 Robyn
After 3:20 she sang out of this world.. In singing perfection! Let us all bow.
+michael mottlau
U R so Right!
+michael mottle At 3:20 you can see her motion to the band: C'mon boys, bring it!
She was out of this world!
+freedomm lol nah she was making sure the mic was cool enough to handle the fire she was about to bring lol
+jezzbcawz 😍
And that ladies and gentlemen is how it's done. Pay close attention cause you'll probably never see it again. The greatest voice of all time. I love how she's controlling the band at 3:22 she's telling them "bring it up, cause I'm about to go off". And again at 5:19 where she tells them "take it down". I can remember sitting up half the night watching VH1 waiting for this video to come on.
I notice also she control her band
I never noticed that till you pointed it out! I thought her hand gestures were just part of her “feeling the music.” Even though it was probably both, she did an excellent job at controlling the band and telling them to quiet down at moments she knew her voice needed to be in the spotlight.
I totally agree!!!
Thank you so much cause you wrote the Truth, indisputable truth! God bless you!🥰
All night watching until my get baggy she is the best ever
She had a voice directly sent down from heaven. At her peak the greatest voice ever known to mankind. Untouchable and that's a fact.
Yes. Am from Kenya and love this woman with all my heart may she rest well 🕊️
Джаз энд фанк энд соул!!
Then she met Bobby Brown. That piece of garbage destroyed her life.
@@allfacts19thats not true at all..... she hid everything much better before him....
@@tonydeez8948 he didn't introduce Whitney to coke. But he induced the stress on her where she became an addict. Bobby was not good for her at all.
Not only was she a phenomenal talent - she also had class - not like Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce. Six days ago was the fourth anniversary of her death. May this angel of song always be remembered.
Teach ESL, Yes Whitney Houston was ONE of the Greatest Vocalist! I hope we can Honor her Legacy without comparison by insulting others? I agree that I prefer WH over the 2 you mentioned but, degradation isn't the best way for us to celebrate the life or talent of Whitney Houston
Amen, i miss my angel so so much
That wasn't a song....that was a Journey.
"And the ride with you, my friend..." 🫂
Well said
When she did motion with her hands she made you feel like you were on a rollercoaster!
😉
I know this haunts Bobby all the time.
This is the Whitney Houston I will remember and treasure until my last breath.
This is Whitney. Nothing else matters 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love whitney forever.
Absolutely agree
i prefer this version way better than the original recording
I mean honestly, how can a voice get any better than this??? This woman is just spectacular.
D
I mean really!!!!
"DIDN'T WE? DIDN'T WE? DIDN'T WE..." 😭
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yep i heard it too ... I aint ever heard her growl like that before ... she is the best there ever was and ever will be
It literaly made cry
When I saw your comment... I thought... "wait for it, wait for it. " well, it did not disappoint.
yasssss
The voice, the soul, the power.... no one can sing better than Whitney.
Karen Carpenter was in same level as Whitney.God Bless them both.
Gerald Ahlstrom: No she wasn't, Karen had a beautiful voice no doubt about that.....but she didn't have nowhere near WH vocal range and power.
Right!! And even if she did, she never showed it. Whitney's voice has so much power!
And she didn’t need to dub it like another supposedly great singer.
@@achosenvessel6563 try ella fitzgerald...judy garland...barbra streisand...and of course aretha franklin...withney is among them...not above!!!
Who's watching in 2024
I'm right here ❤
Here.... 💖💖💖💖💜💜😔😔
Me. Whenever I break up with my boo this is my go to song .. we r good again now
I always visit and never forget ❤
Unforgettable!
One of the most gifted women in all of history. such a shame we live in a world that literally broke her down. I absolutely believe that her voice was sent to heal people.
Sadly true
Completely true, my friend
ChrissyCrow Healed me a time or two. Like now!
Amen. :)
No word has ever been invented to describe a performance such as this
Sincere Thought.
I saw her sing this live in 1987 and it was even more remarkable in person. This performance makes me tear up every time I watch this, and I watch it pretty regularly. Stunning.
I cant imagine!😍
You’re lucky!❤️
I watch it quite a bit myself I love Whitney R.I.P. NIP we miss you
I saw her live at the Greek Theater in CA in '86(it was my Freshman year of HS), you're absolutely right...it was life changing as a teenager. This and her singing "One Moment In Time" live at the Grammy's in a white dress are 2 of the best live performances I've ever seen in my life.
Amen
Best live performance of this song. Whitney's high notes are untouchable. I miss her so much.
Who's watching with me in 2023?
Me too.... 👍👍👍👍💜💕💖💖
I miss her too she was amazing
I'm watching in 2024. Greatness at its best. I love you, queen. ❤
@@debrasimmon2908 My Queen again and again and again.... 💜💜💜💜💖💖🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏
*ugh you click one Whitney Houston video then 5 hours later you’re still watching videos 😩😭*
LMAO! Hell yeah that's how it goes!
Very very true!!!
So true
So true........ 😄
It's hard to get a hold once you started! :O)
The fact she had no idea how good she was is a tragedy in itself... The millions of people's lives she touched and just with her voice. A VOICE!
God bless you for this golden statement........
She indeed had the once in a lifetime golden voice. By the time she started moving toward being able to handle such a gift with wisdom and maturity, sadly, she was gone.
Very true...
Oh she damn well how good she was. No One better. I guarantee you that. Have you not ever heard her talk?? Putting it mildly... she was well aware of talents and gifts and that performance is proof.
Look up one of her interviews sometimes you’ll see she talks about the heaviness of fame. That’s actually one the reasons she stopped performing as much in later years. She wanted to enjoy her life and that’s what she did.
When she hollers "Didn't We" you gotta holler back at her "YES WE DID!!!"
Lol I love it
+Kat She sung the FOOL outta this. One of her best performances ever!
The audience were all silent in awe!!! Whitney is unbeatable up to this day!❤
Show of hands if you could rewind time and be at this concert front row.......
I was there. third row
Me
I would wind bc, time to have her still with us ....
I was 9th row.
@@michellebrown5145 Guys you saw an Apocalypse hahaha. You're really blessed to have witnessed God's Greatest Miracle to Music.
This live version is better than the record version.
Sooooo true S McNeal. I love this version more. I keep on coming back it over and over!
True perfection🤞🏾, truly talented🤞🏾
Yes .is so perfect
Yeeeeeess
For me the record is better but this one is badass good for me
I agree 💯
No pyro not half naked no army of dancers not even backup singers. Just Whitney a band and a microphone.. Completely mesmerized by this woman’s pure talent.. It’s 2022 and no one in todays musical arena can come anywhere near this.. NO ONE !!!!!
No army of dancers LMAO 💀😭
🥂😂
Yep that’s kinda how it was back then..
For me this is the most emotional - and at the same time powerful - performance of Whitney Houston of all times . It's a demonstration of her tremendous vocal abilities and it's my favourite song and performance.
Nothing beats Whitney Houston when it comes to vocal production she had incorporated in every song of hers that requires vocal agility. That was her trademark which made her special.
❤❤❤❤❤
Same, out of all her amazing songs, this is my favorite. For some reason it reminds me of her--a shining star who came so close to having it all in life (happiness and peace) but couldn't get there
Yeeeees
best singer of all time....
damn right
The time when Lord is the center of withneys life.....
No drugs...
No drama.
Just pure talent
Not true. She started doing drugs when she was a teen.
He never forsaken her she forsaken God & learned
I just wanna cry she is gone and no one is singing like this now!! NO ONE!!!
she is in Heaven and if she didn't no one • -•●
The world had it all because of Whitney
Whitney, Whitney, Whitney....... God must have abandoned everything else and concentrate on your voice notes!!!! This is unbelievable....
zandile Purity Middleton ,I agree complety
Yes
Whitney has many versions of performing this song live; but this version is definitely the best.
although this is top 3.. there are some on her 80s tours that surpasses this. But there all audios
they need to SERIOUSLY remaster this whole live moment in history.
I agree with you
I agree. Love all the versions but this one is my favorite.
Yep it was the one used on her Greatest Hits DVD
This is the best vocal performance of all time
Her voice was an instrument of the most bombastic yet most delicate beauty
The best female singer of all time.
Gabriel F
I so want to challenge that and say it was the digital twisting music era that helped her but I can't...I just can't prove it.
There's some damn good other female singers. These songs ,paired with her voice are truly something special and very unique
Jesus IsLord there is good singers, but Whitney’s one of the greats. She can sing almost any genre from classical to opera to R&B . She almost didn’t have a limit. THE VOICE.
That depends on style not just voice. I saw her live . She was not that great.
None!!!!!! Will never born again another Whitney Elizabeth Houston!!! Forever Nippy! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
B Whitney is unachievable! The Greatest Voice of All Time! The Voice of God! Stop!
Whitney is praised for her Superbowl performance on the national anthem. I have always felt that this was Whitney’s best performance ever. There is something so pure about it. She is clearly singing to someone she is in love with. I believe this performance is about her love for Robyn her true love. I hope Whitney is at peace now. 🕊❤️
Most definitely!! I’ve listened to this songs numerous times, and it’s definitely for Robyn. ❤

@@malindatodd8423 Whitney's performance of One Moment in Time is good too. I love Didn't We Almost Have It All because it is so raw and pure. Whitney was unpolished and authentic, I always felt that she was saying goodbye to the love of her life. Didn't We Almost Have It All was from Whitney's second album. She was not a superstar yet but she was on her way up. I have always felt Whitney was in the process of making a heartbreaking choice of choosing her career over love. To me it seems that every bit of her heartbreak was laid bare on the stage the night she did this performance. I am so glad it was recorded and used as a video for the song. I never could have imagined when I used to play in on my VCR over and over again that Whitney would pass away young.
Who's Robyn by the way?, forgive my ignorance 🙏
@@angelsublime Robyn Crawford was Whitney Houston’s best friend and assistant. Robyn is a woman and there were always rumors that she and Whitney were lovers. Since Whitney’s death, Robyn revealed that the rumors were true. Bobby Brown has confirmed that Whitney was in a relationship with Robyn before he married Whitney. He said he did not know Robyn and Whitney were more than friends until after he married Whitney. Whitney could not come out as gay or bisexual because the music industry was not having it. Also, Whitney’s mother Cissy was not accepting of any notion of Whitney being gay. I saw Cissy in an interview she was asked would she have a problem if it was revealed that Whitney was gay? Cissy said Yes! Cissy was asked the question again she said Yes! I believe Whitney could not truly be herself. She was in a tough spot. Whitney could have happiness with Robyn or phenomenal singing career. Part of having that career was no longer being with Robyn romantically. hI believe this performance was her goodbye to her true love.
This song describes Whitney Houston perfectly. 😢
2024 still rocking with Whitney Houston! The Voice 💃🏾🎤💜🔥💥💯
I love how she starts out softly effortlessly building up to those big money notes she has. I have goosebumps. She knew how to interpret and tell the story of a song. 😭🙏🏽
YES she did!!! Chills every part of me to the bone!!!
I absolutely understand Whitney 💔 😢 im n my car now 💔😭💔😭💔😭
My love for her songs is super natural
Ur story at the same 🕙......
My LOVE 💕😘
The unexpected bridge 4:59 when she growled "didn’t we ?” thrice broke my heart
it always brings a tear everytime when I listen to it
That part particularly hits home at heart for everyone. Those lyrics... she communicates lost and sorrow. The way she growls on them too adds even more depth to the part.
She was a gift from the highest power
Amen
I AGREE 👍
So are YOU Love. LJDIDIT
We Are all That way
I beg to differ.. her gift is from God Almighty Jesus!
I love the gradual build up in this version
This live version is better than the original
@David Plush The way ballads were recorded in the 1970's-1980's..sometimes it made it difficult for the vocalist to sing it the way it was recorded in the studio.. She had such a """"BIG """..voice and she did have her struggle's like Judy Garland did. A recording can be edited and little tricks in a verse to lesson the range... Then again Whitney was a great vocalist...Mezzo-Soprano..and she could soar....and dive to control her instrument..
Way better
@@gigigiseleworld Everything you say is true here. Recordings do offer the most "engineered" (and frankly impossible to replicate) versions of songs for any artist. They selectively parse the best attempts from the best takes and compile them all together to create the version of the song the producer wants. But in many cases, this version of the song is not "sustainable" in terms of being able to sing in a concert tour day in and day out. The second thing is, it's not necessarily the vocalists preferred interpretation of the song either. Even though the study version of this song is vocally more challenging, it doesn't deliver the same emotional impact as the live version. Whitney's unique interpretation of the song when singing it live gives it not only an authenticity lacking from the study version, but really enables you to feel the emotion and passion that she bring to the lyrics. She is able to "perform" the song and emote the way that she wants to with her phrasing and delivery. This is an interpretation of the song that's very different from the study version. In the study version you're like, wow that was vocally impressive. In the live version, you almost want to cry at the end of this because you can see and hear the pain and regret in her voice at lost love. It's almost as though she is acting in a play; she makes it into a completely different song.
@@captainbryce1 I have never seen anyone call it a "study" version. Now, studio version, yes.
@@gigigiseleworld she was spinto soprano
One of the best vocals of all time.The Agility(runs and riffs) and melisima,resonant upper belt,phrasing F5s,growls,phrased growls,perfect vibrato,falsettos and connected headvoice,emotions and more!
No wonder she was nicknamed The Voice!
This is what makes me happy ! When people like you can describe a voice.. it’s more than just holding a note. When you have the techniques as you mentioned, THATS when I will listen to these current singers. Whitney and others from her time had talent, and they had some of the techniques you mentioned! But by all means, Whitney had the whole formula from resonance, pitch, accuracy, melismas, agility, falsetto, dynamics, breath control, connected registers, interpretation, musicality, I could go ON! She wasn’t human 😭✨
don’t forget her stamina and singing mannerism that she learned from Dionne Warwick.
@@ronjon5962 e tinha habilidades muito volume dinâmica sustentação de notas longas ,interpretação impecável e fora suavização perfeita e tem muita cor
Está música no meu ponto de vista e muito deficil de cantar pq tem muitos ornamentos e passagens bens dramáticas
@@ronjon5962 Yes to ALL of this and she was completely comfortable on stage! No jitters or nervousness. She stood on that stage, had fun and delivered! I saw her twice: in 87 and 92 and she blew me away ❤
