People who say Whitney only belted need to really listen to her live. How softly she started off this song, Whitney was the perfect vocalist, she gave a song exactly what it needed. That's why so many of them only want to be sung by her :D
Yep. Especially in her early days. She'd sing the song so lightly, but full, that you thought you were walking on clouds with her voice. Then she would hit you with her voice, booming like thunder. Put you in some kind of shock.
Alex Chen I agree she didn't need to belt her head voice was enough. She could have made an entire album without belting out a note and I would definitely still buy it.
Ugh, the F5 belts, the dynamics, and those signature chest to head transitions are otherworldly. Not to mention that crystal clear tone. Whitney truly was unparalleled.
It would never be her song because she didn't write it (Chaka Khan did), but I agree that she would've made it her own...although I still love Chaka Khan's original version!...
millie morales Prince didn't write this song...don't say lies to yourself and don't spread misinformation...this song was written by Chaka herself in 1975, when she was still the vocalist member of the soul/funk band RUFUS!...Just Google it and properly educate yourself...plus...I know Chaka's, Whitney's and Prince's complete discographies back and forth...and nothing that you say is true!...Plus...Whitney and Prince (RIP) are at this very moment in heaven laughing at your stupidity and bullshit!...Just get a grip!!!...
It's as if she's holding back from owning this song out of respect for Chaka but yet still made it her own, unintentionally and effortlessly. Whitney was just so amazingly talented.
@Narly waves Probably it wouldn't be that phenomenal because Mr. Clive Davis would've stepped in and mess everything up with some bubble gum crappy version aimed at the masses...
@@JaySmith-wo3di I meant to say I prefer Mary J. Blige's version more than Whitney's, however, both of their versions are better than Chaka's studio version. I think Chaka performs it better live. Mary added more soul to it 🤷🏽♂️
Whitney was the best Vocalist ever. There will never,ever be another voice like hers. That was her gift from God. Her voice was very Angelic. Just beautiful.
Notice how even the background singers were surprised and amazed at what she was doing with the song. Look at some of their reactions being similar to my own as a non-singer. Even other vocalists can really appreciate this level of talent.
@@mariahyohannes Yep Whitney rarely practice and she changed up how she sings the songs on tbe spot a lot her entire band knew her like the back of their hand and how to align with her but still were shook.
this was a rehearsal? a warm up? right. she nailed it. and they were all having fun just singing...and singing LIVE. who does this today? NO ONE. sheesh. she is so so missed.
My Mother sang Gospel music. She was in a trio who opened for some big acts. The Blackwood Brothers, The Happy Goodman Family, The Statesman. She taught me what a real voice should sound like. She LOVED Cissy Houston. A TRUE SOPRANO! When Whitney showed up... I had no doubt. NO ONE could top Whitney when she was on her game. NO ONE. I don't care if you write your own music or what! Whitney IS THE VOICE!
@@anthonyyoutubefan7567 I don't think so, but as a mega Chaka Khan fan I would love that...specially if the production on it is as good as on this live rehearsal...unfortunately we all know that Whitney's live versions of cover songs were far better than the studio ones...
this woman was so cool and smooth and down-to-earth. she did this song without any effort at all and she nailed it wow what a true artist she was I miss you Miss Whitney Houston
Anyone who says she only belted didn't listen to Whitney, and they sound ignorant! She had one of the softest prettiest voices with so much brightness and power when needed.
Actually she did all of those techniques in IWALY Her most popular and probably world's best selling and greatest ballad of all time 😂😂 Even though she been showcasing otherworldly agility and dynamics in most of her songs
Tip, most people don't know that r&b singer Angela Winbush wrote, arranged and produced this song in the mid 1970s. Which later, Chaka was given then recorded the song when she was known with Rufus feat. Chaka Khan. Angela didnt received writing credits on Rufus/Chaka album when it was released. The song list Tony Maiden and Chaka Khan and not Angela Winbush as well regarding writing credits on it.
The loss is deep. She was a diamond and more. I'm not equipped to define her otherworldly talent, but that's the point. Haters, seek weaker pastures. You're so far out of your league. Whitney, thank you.
So Whitney singing in her upper register and it sounds amazing I love her upper register because it's the same as her middle it don't have a switch in sound like other singers do.
Ms. Houston, you left a hole in my heart when you passed, as I'm sure plenty other people as well, when you died a part of me died too, born in the mid 70's all I listened to was you, through heart ache, or just wanting to feel anything, you did that for me, I will forever miss you, love you nippy, may yo rest in peace Queen.
Latarsa Buckner Giddins you have just put into words everything that I have been feeling for the last few days thinking about Whitney I miss her, she was our gift and I wish the people of this world had not taken advantage of the gift that she had I don't believe in this lifetime I will ever hear a voice that speaks to my heart as much is she has. Thank you Whitney thank you. C i was one of those people that bought her albums even when people said she couldn't sing anymore because I can still hear the voice. The gift
Whitney sings Chaka Khans songs so beautiful. She brings that soft melody to them. Chaka sings them with that Funk sound. They both sounds good. Everybody has their own method of singing.
Momma Cissy and Dionne was right when they said Nippy at 10 or 11 was downstairs in her basement Sangin Chaka, Natalie, or Aretha lol.... Lord she studied the hell out of Chaka, 1:24, 1:57, 2:10-2:17, its Chaka's twin lol.
YOOOOO I Seriously scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else caught the Background, yo the lady in Purple was HIGHHHHH AS A KITEEEEE LMAO hahahahaha
Oh how I would've loooooooved for her to have recorded this song. It's probably my fav Chaka song of all time - and nobody could do the incredible vocal wailing that Ms Khan does on that track (well, except maybe Patti), but hearing it with the sweetness and beauty of Whitney's tone? Just stunning.
I remember this entire rehearsal!!!! Whitney didn't herself remember the words. I think it started after another song for the show. T e keyboardist (think) that just made a run in warming up and Whitney liked it so she started singing it knowing It was a Chaka khan if I'm not mistaken Whitney sang backup in one or more of Chaka khans releases Or could have been 'every woman' but Nippy's ear heard what she heard and just starting to enjoy the moment. that's why the backup singers are surprised Lol, they knew the song but did not expect this! Its obvious this was never rehearsed I love this I'm sure this entire rehearsal is available somewhere.
Oh boy.......oh boy. Ya gotta love the delicious sounds of Whitney Houston. She's truly one of the most remarkable artists ever. Not only was she a superb singer, overflowing with musicality, but she was also drop dead gorgeous. It's only relevant because she burst onto the scene when looks played such an important part of an artist's success, making her ideal for the MTV audience. I still & will always miss her like crazy : (
was that her rehearsing? dang. sheesh. that is why folks like me think she is the best live singer ever. THE VOICE. if that is how she rehearsed and warmed up...and sang an amazing song...good Lord...we lost the best singer ever. what a talent. God certainly blessed her...and us with her music and talent. MISS YOU sweet whitney.
Wow! I am telling you those were the days, I feel very blessed to have lived for 47 years and experienced the best of life so far. Whitney's gift has given me comfort and happiness, just listening to her, makes me miss her even more everyday. I love you Whitney, forever missed in my heart. Peace
This girl is just an incredible singer. The versatility in her voice. Is there anything she can't sing? I don't think so. She is blessed and so are we.
NO, she wounld not have approved. She did not her doing a cover of I'm every woman. She said why can't people get their own songs or wtite their on songs, she said I did.
The best! and yeah, this isnt a performance, its rehearsal, a veritable soundcheck, a run through, and dam if it isnt fantastic, and my fav. version- 💜whitney
I can remember when Whitney was everywhere; radio, movies, TV award shows, etc. It was almost too much Whitney for me BUT... every time she would sing I would just be in awe of her voice and how effortlessly she would sing the highest notes and beautifully bring it back down. Definitely one of the greatest female singers to walk the earth and now, heaven. I will miss you.
i wish Whitney came out with cover albums, singing classic congs by other artists, not just soul, but other genres too... it's a guaranteed hit. the comeback she needed. aw, coulda, shoulda, woulda.... i still can't shake off my sadness over her passing.
Sooooo....this only a rehearsal, how much more the final of this performance right..!!! this lady is truly a once in a life time experience and talent...
Whitney was a amazing singer no one I mean no one could be like her she was a extraordinary person and singer It would of been a honor to have met her one day.
OMG! This girl is simply, AWESOME. Talented is putting it mildly. Talent hidden. this is why I love her so much. My little sister is like Dionne said, BAD!" Just look what we had. Thanks to you, she lives on through these videos. I am so grateful, and sadddd that she is not still here with us, visibly.....
I'm absolutely speechless!!! Thank you KaCi!! Her collective contribution to this artistry is irrevocably tranformative and satiating!! She's a perpetual icon, in spite of. :-)
Totally agreed oku2, That was raw, pure talent, I love her, I could listen to her music, non stop, she was born with a gift , not many people have, she is definitely missed , GONE way to soon,
Whitney was dangerous! She could take somebody else's song and turn it into hers in a heartbeat!
The proof was in the pudding with the Star Spangled banner.. No song was safe.
The coloratura opera note at the end, she changed the whole arrangement and made it better lol.
She stole Chaka Khan's I'm Every Woman, George Benson's The Greatest Love of All, and Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You.
ctfu!! You aint neva lied, she made the banner sound like a fkn hit didn't she lol lawdddddddddddd

Damn her voice makes instruments sound like interfering noise😥
It's like the most beautiful imaginary color ✨❣️

Ok , I'm loving Whitney's version!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whitney was the best Vocalist ever. There will never,ever be another voice like hers. That was her gift from God. Her voice was very Angelic. Just beautiful.
She's right behind Aretha Franklin and perhaps on par with Stephanie Mills.

She was so much better live than in the studio. She even told in an interview she likes to sing live because she can be more creative.
this was a rehearsal? a warm up? right. she nailed it. and they were all having fun just singing...and singing LIVE. who does this today? NO ONE. sheesh. she is so so missed.

She would have stole this song too had she recorded it... lol She was Amazingly accurate at every song interpretation...
I'm hoping she did a studio version of it, but, just didn't release it. This way, it can go on the new posthumous album later this year.

Yes absolutely!! She took all the great hits and made them dynamic!!!
this woman was so cool and smooth and down-to-earth. she did this song without any effort at all and she nailed it wow what a true artist she was I miss you Miss Whitney Houston

🚨NERD ALERT🚨 unfortunately
No fair! Whitney wasn't even trying. Nippy was just playin'.
Exactly the reason why she never needed dubbing her vocals.

Whitney always respected other artists when she covered their songs that's why I'm guessing this was never released... love this tune ❤
When they get the tech for it, this should be re-mastered and released as a single. It is simply gorgeous. [I suspect even CK would approve.]
NO, she wounld not have approved. She did not her doing a cover of I'm every woman. She said why can't people get their own songs or wtite their on songs, she said I did.

Go 'head, Auntie. Oooh, I just love the way you sing.
1:24, she sound just like Chaka she did that on purpose. She learned Chaka singing backup for her.
Imagine being a supporting vocalist and doing this on the spot. They seemed to hold it down and be so present at the same time. So cool.
