Mariah's version is technically more complex and harder to sing than Whitney's version. Whitney is the classic version. Mariah's version is Mariah and only Mariah can deliver!
@@joshd8342 Obviously the music industry didn’t care anything about who was singing it anymore complex than the next singer. This is why Mariah or the others who covered this weren’t labeled as the standard. Certainly you and anyone else is more than entitled to your personal preference. However, there’s a reason why only Whitney’s delivery was turned into a nationwide hit single. She’s unmatched when it came to overall tone and vocal control
@@tanyagary8494 Whitney is one of the greatest vocalist in the world, I am a massive fan of her. However, she is no match to the vocal skills of Mariah. I don;t even like Mariah as a person as she is obnoxious and deluded. However, biases aside, there is no denying that Mariah is the greatest vocalist in the world. She can do so many things with her voice. Whatever Whitney can do, mariah can do as well and this is evident in mariah's first 2 albums. However, what Mariah can do, Whitney cannot follow. Mariah can alter the texture and timbre of her voice that's why she can sound different in almost every album. Mariah is also one of teh very few artist that has a perfect pitch and also has a rare gift of being polyphonic. Mariah can sing in any parts of her register, she can sing an entire song on the lower chest voice, she can sing an entire song belting, she can sing an entire sone in head voice, and she can sing an entire song in her whistle register. Mariah can cascade up and down her register in one breath and she can do it over and over with ease because of her unmatched agility and control. Mariah is actually more resonant than Whitney..all of that plus her unmatched musicianship makes her way ahead of Whitney. And let';s not forget - Whitney has a massive flaw as a vocalist - Whitney is unable to convey a range of emotions from Sadness to regress to pain, that whole spectrum of emotion. Just listen to her delivery of Where do broken hears go, or Didn;t we almost have it all, or even I will always love you...when you hear her sing those songs, it makes you jump for joy in jubilation because her the message of the song is lost/masked by the beauty of her voice. Sometimes, her delivery is not even connected to the emotions of the lyrics, those 3 songs i mentioned are classic examples. The only time Whitney showed vulnerability in her singing was during her last years when her voice is already gone....Again, I am a massive fan ever since Saving all my love was released to radio. Whitney has the most beautiful middle chest and upper chest voice. But let';s be real here, compared to Mariah, Whitney does not even comes close.
@@joshd8342Mariah was a great vocalist for sure but she didn‘t have Whitney‘s power and tone. That‘s why she didn‘t even try to sing the National Anthem the way Whitney did. The only Mariah Carey song I really like is „Visions of Love“ But her overload with whistle tones in Emotions - hell no.
@@joshd8342 Sorry but you’ll have to push this ridiculous narrative with someone who doesn’t know any better. Like maybe to someone who wasn’t born before the 70’s. Whitney was already a vocal pro before Mariah existed in the music industry. Whitney didn’t deem herself “ The Voice” her live performances will remind you in case you forgot. From the start of seeing Mariah’s live performances through over the years. Too many vocal inconsistencies then to top it off having to find out the ones she seems to have impressive vocal delivery in people are saying lipped then compilation video of her lipping. Whitney had everything to offer in live vocals we never had to wonder is it live, is she really singing. Mariah is no comparison to Whitney Houston on stage with a mic in any era. Why do you think she was pushed to sound like Whitney out of all those other singers who had been successful in their own rights? Her label wanted the best as they viewed Whitney. Take this Star Spangled debate up with the music industry Lol they’re the ones who felt Mariah’s among the rest didn’t cut it to be made into a hit single. As I said Whitney is just the best. By the way, if they had put a Mariah song in front of Whitney, dear she would’ve easily slayed any of them turning it into her spectacular own and would’ve done so without needing an unpredictable whistle to do it with
Her voice was anointed. Period. That's why you feel something "special" from listening to her. React to her rendition of "I love The Lord" from The Preacher's wife. Another stunning vocal performance
You get a Whitney Houston once in 4 or 5 generations - about once every century. She was a national treasure and this was her at her absolute height. Incredible.
Shes #1 all the way. No top 3 lol shes THE VOICE. She makes it look effortless and nobody can come close to her range when they try their hardest. Shes on a god level bro. Shes untouchable so after her comes the top ten lists lol. Shes above any list. Fucking voice of an angel no joke. Literal sense…
Don't care what anyone says! This is THEE BEST rendition EVER!! She also changed the tempo/time signature. It was written in 3/4 but she wanted to do it in 4/4. She said they didn't want her to change it so her Father who managed her at the time told them "Then you don't want Whitney Houston. She set a new standard for the Anthem. Also she was the first to do the higher ascension on "Free" after that other artist started doing it. A true legend!
Whitney donated her royalties to the Red Cross for the families and military affected by the Gulf War and when 9/11 happened the song was re-released as a single and she donated her royalties to the NY Firefighters 9/11 Fund. Her version is also certified platinum.
How lucky are we to have existed in a world where we got to witness her voice?! She was pure class, one of the few singers that could truly make me speechless. She was as good as it gets, and the world became a little darker when she died.
The moment I heard Whitney for the first time, as a teen girl in rural Germany, it just blew me away and I wanted to sing like her and look as beautiful as her. She was and still is THE VOICE 😍🤩
Funny you mention Opera. I remember the day after this aired all the morning shows were talking about it and someone brought up that she could have been an Opera singer if she wanted. Her Mom's cousin, Leontyne Price, was an Opera singer. She is still alive and 96!
Whitney's performance of this great song will never be topped. She set that bar so high it will forever be out of reach. No one will ever come close to that. Every time I hear someone else sing it, I feel like they're mutilating it. I'm like.. "just shut up." 🙄 😂🤣
MAJ her voice was anointed.... this was an EPIC performance on the highest level.... NO ONE will touch this rendition EVERRRRRR.....RIP to a true LEGEND
The most amazing singing voice in my opinion. and I have many favorites...including Ms. Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, Aretha Franklin, Pat Benatar , and Ann Wilson..
The best SSB then, now and forever. With all the nonsense of so many singers saying they want to make it their own, Whitney made it about the song and not herself. And she sang her butt off. One of the greatest performances on any song I've ever seen.
It's like they called her up last minute and she just threw on a tracksuit, flawed everybody in that giant stadium, jumped off the stage and went back home in time to watch Dynasty. I don't think Whitney truly knew how her singing touched people.
Those of us old enough to have watched this live that day knew we were watching something that was once in lifetime performance. It was the gold standard afterwards. She was just music. It was amazing!
She did rehearse, Also she sang it live into a dead mic. This is standard NFL protocol in those days because the technology wouldn't allow for her to sound as amazing as she did. The audience would have been picked up in the mic she had. When she did sing it live, you can see how the audience almost drowns her out at the end. Her live performance is identical to this. Absolutely beautiful!!! 💯
We have all heard the National Anthem sung by many artists, and many of them have done an excellent job. However, I don't think anyone will ever top Whitney. So far she is the GOAT in singing the National Anthem.
I cannot believe I have to say this: You never pause the National Anthem. You never speak during the National Anthem. You respectfully listen and "react" when the Anthem is over. Of course, the only thing your generation respects is the sound of your own voices....and clicks.
Our national anthem is one of the most difficult songs to sing. There is so much audio and video evidence of this because we've seen some of our best recording artists struggle to get through it. Whitney had a very special gift and this will live on as such a shining moment🙏
Some people do too much with this song IMHO to the point it can be unrecognizable. This is why it's considered the standard. Give her rendition of America The Beautiful...AMAZING!
MAJ, you mentioned in one of your posts that Whitney Houston could probably sing opera. You were right. She proves it here - improvising with opera legend Pavarotti, before she slays I Will Always Love You! th-cam.com/video/syUsJPq9oe4/w-d-xo.html
She's the only one who made it a top 5 pop hit! Next war it's going to number 1, she's the Queen! Listen to the b side of this single it's america the beautiful, it's even prettier!
Definitely the greatest rendition! And she only added a few little things to it, but made it work and stuck to the melody. There's nothing more annoying when singers go way off it to create it as their own. It's like - don't DO that! Yep, they didn't call her The Voice for nothing!
What is shocking is the network executives disapproved of her rendition (implying it was not traditional) and told 'her people' to change it. Her people told them to F-off! We live in a sad world where 'some people' have to always stir division.
we dont' have queens and kings because this country fought a war against england and we won the right to be a democratic republic....the first then, and the only one today to be such a country.
The 2nd best national anthem performance. Top 20 hot 100 twice. Sold 3 mill worldwide. Yall favs could and will never😘 I think imho her 1988 nba performance is better.

The greatest rendition ever, the performance is the greatest ever, bar none !!!
No auto tune required! She was the greatest vocalist ever.
We All Loved Whitney RIP Americus Treasure
The best part of the video is the pure joy on her face as she sings this.
The definitive version of this song. No one will ever be able to top this. She had such a regal presence even in a track suit haha 😂

That’s why she’s the only singer whose voice hasn’t been able to be recreated by AI. Her voice is divine
Absolutely!!!
Yes😊
You get a Whitney Houston once in 4 or 5 generations - about once every century. She was a national treasure and this was her at her absolute height. Incredible.
The smiles at home of the brave........❤
Whitney was a gift to us

Shes untouchable so after her comes the top ten lists lol. Shes above any list. Fucking voice of an angel no joke. Literal sense…
Spectacular! The only version with the perfection to be turned into an individual single and close out the tv stations for the night back then
The way she carries “wave” is my favorite part of the song too. That smile she does ❤
No one has yet, or will EVER top Whitney's rendition of our National Anthem. She was simply perfection. ❤
No one ever will
Very rare to see something literally as good as it will EVER get. But this is it. Won't be topped. Pure magic.
Her version was triumphant! It makes me patriotic and I'm not even american!
Hope you vote right next time too in that terrible US!!!!😢😮
Don't care what anyone says! This is THEE BEST rendition EVER!! She also changed the tempo/time signature. It was written in 3/4 but she wanted to do it in 4/4.

The voice was so grand and full from top to bottom
She was a gift from GOD no doubt about it !! We miss you 😢RIP Whitney Elizabeth Houston
Whitney donated her royalties to the Red Cross for the families and military affected by the Gulf War and when 9/11 happened the song was re-released as a single and she donated her royalties to the NY Firefighters 9/11 Fund. Her version is also certified platinum.
Oh wow never forget ❤
It’s not diamond yet?

Majestic.
Love love love love ❤️ ❤❤❤!
Could you imagine getting recognized this way by singing the star spangled banner
This was so Great, they put it on record and sold it. High School Days.

Never be a better version. I hear the joy too. She sang it like she loved her country. You can't beat that. Rest in peace beautiful lady.
Best ever period!!!! Lol
❤❤❤❤WHITNEY WAS AND IS STILL THE BEST..
You gotta react to the second one shes done to shes sang it three times she had on a blue tracksuit she had me in tears again 😭✨😌🤍
MAJ her voice was anointed.... this was an EPIC performance on the highest level.... NO ONE will touch this rendition EVERRRRRR.....RIP to a true LEGEND
No matter how many times I hear her sing this... It always brings me to tears!💜
The most amazing singing voice in my opinion. and I have many favorites...including Ms. Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, Aretha Franklin, Pat Benatar , and Ann Wilson..
React to the performance of "Whitney Houston -God Bless America" in 2000! Please, it's amazing!
Her version is the standard
The best SSB then, now and forever. With all the nonsense of so many singers saying they want to make it their own, Whitney made it about the song and not herself. And she sang her butt off. One of the greatest performances on any song I've ever seen.
The best rendition of the national anthem. No competition
Not one little crack in her voice Absolutely smooth and flawless ,such control, she's the best
To hear Whitney knowing it was 1991 and how innocent we were back then bring tears to my eyes😢❤
Whitney!!! That’s why she is preciously known as THE VOICE!! ❤🎤🎼🎵 Like ya reactions!!
It's as if you are giving words to how my soul feels when I hear our beloved lady sing this incredibly hard to sing classic. Masterpiece🙏.
the bulls poster in the back really pulls the entire atmosphere together for the time period
I can listen to her rendition of the national anthem over and over again
The whole world cried the day she died bro. The whole world….
It's like they called her up last minute and she just threw on a tracksuit, flawed everybody in that giant stadium, jumped off the stage and went back home in time to watch Dynasty. I don't think Whitney truly knew how her singing touched people.

ALL HAIL THE VOICE! 👑👑👑👑👑👑
Those of us old enough to have watched this live that day knew we were watching something that was once in lifetime performance. It was the gold standard afterwards. She was just music. It was amazing!
Love your reaction, you smiled as much as Whitney
She didn’t rehearse. She listened to the composition a few minutes before she came out
She was forced to lipsync
She did rehearse, Also she sang it live into a dead mic. This is standard NFL protocol in those days because the technology wouldn't allow for her to sound as amazing as she did.

If starspanglled banner sung right and with heart it'll bring tears to your eyes 😢
The voice
It hits the soul!!
THE GREATEST EVER, IS CORRECT!!
Your smile at the end says it all.

The country was at war during this time. People were just proud to be American. This is her version. The voice😢❤ Great reaction
Her version of our anthem will live on as long as our nation does.
Some people do too much with this song IMHO to the point it can be unrecognizable. This is why it's considered the standard. Give her rendition of America The Beautiful...AMAZING!
Such a REGAL performance 👑
She was No.1....no doubt.... her version was the best I've ever heard......but check out Beyonce's version....Super Bowl 2004. No. 2 for sure.
This song is already difficult to sing but her rendition made it a million times harder

OMG. Don’t stop.
Review Whitney Houston on the Soul Train awards singing you give good love.
Pure artistry. Highest level. Her face her body, the woman elevated a not very good tune up, up and into high art
we dont' have queens and kings because this country fought a war against england and we won the right to be a democratic republic....the first then, and the only one today to be such a country.
I’m gona go ahead and say Marvin Gaye’s is second best rendition! 😎
React to Mariah Carey - Music box and also the Acapella version
The 2nd best national anthem performance. Top 20 hot 100 twice. Sold 3 mill worldwide. Yall favs could and will never😘 I think imho her 1988 nba performance is better.
It's The BEST national anthem performance! Every other version pales in comparison 🤷🏾♂️
@@Realviews603 idk I like her 88 and welcome home heroes one better but yeah its one of the best
@@Realviews603 Exactly! The industry didn’t think the other versions are worthy enough to be turned into individual singles only Whitney
This almost didn't happen. Whitney DID NOT want to lipsync but in the end she went along with it. So yeah....
Do Boyz II Men’s version next!
there are NO copyright issues.... It is most disrespectful to Stop the song...... let it play
