So many Black women sound like queens to me. Voice is powerful but held back and it has a tone all of its own. I looked for this quality in the voices of women of other races, but it is just not there. It sounds like silk and grace. I dont have it. Maybe i could take voice lessons. I want to.
Only the best voices in the world don’t have to try to sound good. They don’t need to belt to prove they are good. They could sing something as simple as twinkle twinkle little star and blow us away.
I don't want to see any bad pictures or videos of her, I don't want to hear any more negative things about her. We all know she had her demons, as we all do. I want to remember her as she was in her finest times and the sparkle in her eyes..
Whitney’s voice was so beautiful singing that song! She was such a true vocalist. I’ve never seen anyone be so comfortable singing impromptu live. And sounding amazing while doing it. I miss her so.
She set the bar up higher that still no one does even dare dream of competing. She was simply the Greatest Female of all time! It requires centuries for Ms Nature to fabricate such an amazing angel like WHITNEY! She'll be missed and loved here for an eternity! R.I.P beautiful angel 😇! God bless
i will never understand how someone gifted with looks, talent, charisma, and presence can just throw it all away for drugs. whitney had that one thing many singers couldn't beat: her live performances were as good, if not better than her recorded versions. why'd you ruin it, whitney, WHY?!
Oh My Gosh!! I remember watching this episode of Friday Night Videos as a kid and being so overjoyed!! I was totally obsessed with Whitney as a child. Aww The Memories.............
you are everything and everything is you ...that was a nice little duet ...she's so geunine and warm in her earlier interviews...Fly home Free Nippy....:( your music will forever be remembered...
R.I.P Whitney. I remember when this aired in the fall of 1986, and I watched it. I love Whitney, how I wish she remained on the same path that she was on during that time, great voice and talent, my girl !
Damn! For the better part of 15 years I've been talking about Friday Night videos here on TH-cam but nobody knew what I was talking about. I can't believe I finally found a video of it. Friday Night videos was awesome when we were kids. That's how we got our musical news
I know Arista forced her to get these extensions....but I loooooooooooove her hair like this. A gorgeous mane around her like a lioness, she was a Leo after all. 80’s Whitney will always be MY Whitney.
The reason why Paul Shaffer is so successful, and so respected, is because he is a true fan of the music and the artists. He is an incredible talent, and worthy of hanging with Whitney for kitschy little gigs like this. This is an outstanding little bit of fun memories.
Whitney singing You Are Everything makes me wish she had covered more classic soul songs, even if they were just album tracks and not necessarily singles.
This was a very enjoyable video. I greatly remembered first watching Paul Shaffer and Whitney Houston host this episode back in March 1986. It was nice to see it again.
This was uploaded on my birthday...what a gift!! This video is a significantly happy childhood memory for me!!! Whitney truly was my childhood hero. Thanks so much for posting it.
She behaved so adult already just being 22. Such a professional young girl. But I guess the early professionalism and career focus came at a very high price. Somewhat scary to watch now....
That was back when record labels made it mandatory to go through interviewing and public speaking grooming and training as ways of shaping their artist especially the younger artist
Whtiney was groomed by her Mom growing up, and once she got her record deal,, groomed by Arista and Clyde Davis; so she was going to be groomed regardless.. They still develop artists in the industry now,, the title is called A & R, artists and repertoire. There also is the option to be independent or go with boutique labels, so there are more options for distribution deals and more independence for artists today.
Paul comes off instantly creepy. He must have had a huge crush on Whitney because I've never gotten that vibe from him before. Here he glows with creepiness throughout this video.
I don’t know why white people feel as if they have the right to treat Black people any type of way…and feel like they are a privilege to us Blacks. Clearly, he was being inappropriate and even more clearly, I could sense that Whitney felt VERY UNCOMFORTABLE with a white man kissing her in the mouth! Throughout this entire video, you could see him being a pervert and very suggestive towards Whitney. Watch the way she jumps EVERYTIME she has to look at him or he moves near to her! It’s disgusting!
Funny but true! Whitney's first album was only one year old and Paul said Whitney's greatest hits. She already had that much of hits of just one album.
but he is so nice and so respectable. I loved when he started playing and it was beautiful the way Whitney just started signing "You are everything and everything is you" she seems like she appreciated his sweetness and kindness...she deserved that....
This is actually a rerun from a 1986 segment with Paul Shaffer and Whitney Houston, with clips from 1988 added like the music video for New Edition's "If It Isn't Love."
I remember watching this in '86. I thought it was a gross interview then and it took me about 30 years to come around. I do like him now. I wonder what he would think of this interview today.
I thought the same weird vibe in 2022 Paul was like a creepy uncle - how old are you body of a 23 year old - yikes except he was caught on camera - the stuff that women had to endure
This is awesome. Yea shaffer is awkwardly creepy but with all the talent he has and all the talent he's interacted with, he knows he's amongst royality. Yet Whitney is so humble and sweet, just doing what she does.
oh my god, I remember watching friday night videos as a kid, because we didn't have MTV,VH1,BET,and all the other music video stations. Shit I don't think we had cable period. LOL
😍This is such a sweet and fun interview❣ The interaction between the 2 of them is so good. As always Whitney looked very beautiful and enchanting, but also super adorable. Whitney's smile always brightens up the darkest times and is so heart warming.🥰 5:42 The most beautiful and soul soothing sound often came out of Whitney's mouth❣
He was probably one of the men in Hollywood involved in sexual harassment; Whitney Houston had to fight off a lot of men during her time. Watch the video when she was on Merv Griffin. Just listen to Paul talk to her about her dress and taking it in some more.
LMFAOOOO!!!! I think it was supposed to be a side cheek kiss💀 when they got closer you can see sh kinda tilted her head. Dude just went in for the kill💀💀💀😂
To Whitney it seems all through your life you wondered were you good enough....from your fans of today on many post We always did think you were better than good enough...you had nothing to prove you did your thing... RIP WHITNEY E. HOUSTON...your legacy still continues..
Her voice was like fine silk. So beautiful.
She was indeed a rare, once in a lifetime breed. We miss you Nippy. RIP
100%

Not later, destroyed by poison!
When she sang subtle like that! you can tell why she was called THE VOICE! That tone was everything!
Abbe the best voice I've ever heard.
Only the best voices in the world don’t have to try to sound good. They don’t need to belt to prove they are good. They could sing something as simple as twinkle twinkle little star and blow us away.
Whitney is not only the voice ..but she was so Beautiful ..Rip
“He walks like you do, I thought it was you”- sent chills down my spine!!!❤
I don't want to see any bad pictures or videos of her, I don't want to hear any more negative things about her. We all know she had her demons, as we all do. I want to remember her as she was in her finest times and the sparkle in her eyes..
You and I both.
Well said I don’t need to see no negativeness
Precisely
Yup well said. I appreciate her more than ever now (Jun 2023).
I wish Whitney had written a book about her life.
I do too. So we could have heard the truth from her herself
antij1 She might've done so if she was still around.
Michael & Whitney Fan
Seriously ?
Exactly!!!!
there is one book " the anauthorise autobiograpghy of Whitney Houston 1992. check that book in AMAZON
Greatest vocalist of ALL times. I miss you, Nippy. RIP.
Whitney, you were everything and everything was you... Incredibly missed. Rest easy.
I absolutley live this woman. True gift from God and that is not opinion that is a fact!
Whitney could make any song her own so effortlessly and beautifully. A true gem!! RIP WH ❤️
Wow! Whitney truly sings like an angel. An undisputed legend!
Whitney’s voice was so beautiful singing that song! She was such a true vocalist. I’ve never seen anyone be so comfortable singing impromptu live. And sounding amazing while doing it. I miss her so.
How gifted was this beautiful woman! Miss you Whitney!
Creepy dude. Whitney looked beautiful & sounded exquisite 💖💖💖
She set the bar up higher that still no one does even dare dream of competing. She was simply the Greatest Female of all time!
It requires centuries for Ms Nature to fabricate such an amazing angel like WHITNEY!
She'll be missed and loved here for an eternity! R.I.P beautiful angel 😇! God bless
Wow. Every single new song that they played on the show became a hit.
The 80s were amazing.
She was #1 after her debut Whitney Houston.
The #1 diva of all.
Her voice is just so beautiful!
So gorgeous, so poised and that voice! I wish she had as much love for herself as the fans did. Her talent is unmatched and sorely missed.
She did have love for herself.....She knew who she was and whose she was. Anyone without sin cast the first stone.
i will never understand how someone gifted with looks, talent, charisma, and presence can just throw it all away for drugs.
whitney had that one thing many singers couldn't beat: her live performances were as good, if not better than her recorded versions.
why'd you ruin it, whitney, WHY?!
The pressure of being in the music industry and the media making stuff up.
Oh My Gosh!! I remember watching this episode of Friday Night Videos as a kid and being so overjoyed!! I was totally obsessed with Whitney as a child. Aww The Memories.............
Most beautiful voice on Earth...PERIOD!!!
I love her singing and talking voice so much elegance. Lovely 😊
you are everything and everything is you ...that was a nice little duet ...she's so geunine and warm in her earlier interviews...Fly home Free Nippy....:( your music will forever be remembered...
She rips the heart out of my chest every time she sings. She is so young here. Before the hard times. Miss her every day.
She sounds so good!!!
WTF THIS IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE
What a voice. What a beauty. Rare. What a tragic loss. She had it all it seemed. R.I.P💖
R.I.P Whitney. I remember when this aired in the fall of 1986, and I watched it. I love Whitney, how I wish she remained on the same path that she was on during that time, great voice and talent, my girl !
Damn! For the better part of 15 years I've been talking about Friday Night videos here on TH-cam but nobody knew what I was talking about. I can't believe I finally found a video of it. Friday Night videos was awesome when we were kids. That's how we got our musical news
Just makes me tear up..So beautiful
"What's your nickname?" What a sweet soul.............forever loved and missed.
She was very beautiful back then
I know Arista forced her to get these extensions....but I loooooooooooove her hair like this. A gorgeous mane around her like a lioness, she was a Leo after all. 80’s Whitney will always be MY Whitney.
Wow Whitney sounds angelic! The VOICE
The reason why Paul Shaffer is so successful, and so respected, is because he is a true fan of the music and the artists. He is an incredible talent, and worthy of hanging with Whitney for kitschy little gigs like this. This is an outstanding little bit of fun memories.
he is creepy here
Such a beautiful and talented young woman. It's hard to believe she's lost to us.
WOW, Whitney and New Edition on Friday Night Videos. Interesting.
Whitney singing You Are Everything makes me wish she had covered more classic soul songs, even if they were just album tracks and not necessarily singles.
:( oh so so beautiful, young and healthy.. such a flower waiting to blossom
Timeless beauty and ultimate voice. Gosh I miss this legend.
great to see this clip of a more enchanted Whitney. lovely diva.
I didn't know Kashif produced "You give good love" I love Kashif.
I miss you Whitney sooo much!
This was a very enjoyable video. I greatly remembered first watching Paul Shaffer and Whitney Houston host this episode back in March 1986. It was nice to see it again.
Great memories!

Thomas Farmer-I agree. I like this Whitney.
@cesar garces so true.
It's disgusting. And stupid interviews with Kimmel and such, so stupid and vulgar.
That was back when record labels made it mandatory to go through interviewing and public speaking grooming and training as ways of shaping their artist especially the younger artist
Whtiney was groomed by her Mom growing up, and once she got her record deal,, groomed by Arista and Clyde Davis; so she was going to be groomed regardless..

22 years old and already had an album debuted with many #1s.
Whitney Houston, we must keep her legacy alive.
Whitney is so pretty here.
Paul comes off instantly creepy. He must have had a huge crush on Whitney because I've never gotten that vibe from him before. Here he glows with creepiness throughout this video.
Yup, and can't finish watching this
I don’t know why white people feel as if they have the right to treat Black people any type of way…and feel like they are a privilege to us Blacks. Clearly, he was being inappropriate and even more clearly, I could sense that Whitney felt VERY UNCOMFORTABLE with a white man kissing her in the mouth! Throughout this entire video, you could see him being a pervert and very suggestive towards Whitney. Watch the way she jumps EVERYTIME she has to look at him or he moves near to her! It’s disgusting!
Ugh! Paul was already dreaming of locking Whitney in his van.
Why did she kiss him?🤮
He does seem creepy. Making me cringe lol
Funny but true! Whitney's first album was only one year old and Paul said Whitney's greatest hits. She already had that much of hits of just one album.
Not just the hits but the impact.. Imagine Paul saying she’s his favourite singer… that’s the highest level of impact
You are everything,
and everything is you....
I will never forget her genius in this moment when I watched it!
but he is so nice and so respectable. I loved when he started playing and it was beautiful the way Whitney just started signing "You are everything and everything is you" she seems like she appreciated his sweetness and kindness...she deserved that....
It is great seeing this video again. I greatly remember first watching this episode back on March 14, 1986.
Dam I’m watching this on March 14th 2020. Paul Sucks...!! Lol
He’s the most awkward interviewer ever!!! Whitney was trying so hard to bring life to it hahah
Beautiful Whirney had a divine gift of song. So sweet and you can see Bobbi Kris in Whitney's mannerisms. RIP Whitney and Bobbi Kris.
✨✨Whitney , one of a kind ,,, forever !!!✨✨🌹✨😎
beautiful here and she was like a big star way back then
I think Paul's sexual comments were inappropriate and disrespectful.
Exactly! Full on predator-like!
Yup
The Voice....great interview...
Sad were this beautifully talented young woman ended up, so sad
She looks stunning here
This is actually a rerun from a 1986 segment with Paul Shaffer and Whitney Houston, with clips from 1988 added like the music video for New Edition's "If It Isn't Love."
Sang, sang, such a beautiful voice
Damn she was so fine and sang like an angel!!!
I remember watching this in '86. I thought it was a gross interview then and it took me about 30 years to come around. I do like him now. I wonder what he would think of this interview today.
I thought the same weird vibe in 2022 Paul was like a creepy uncle - how old are you body of a 23 year old - yikes except he was caught on camera - the stuff that women had to endure
I love this women
Me too
This is awesome. Yea shaffer is awkwardly creepy but with all the talent he has and all the talent he's interacted with, he knows he's amongst royality. Yet Whitney is so humble and sweet, just doing what she does.

So sad but thanks Whitney for sharing your gift
Whitney here is So clear eyed and bright....
poor Paul. he didn't have a snowballs chance in hell
😂
Nope😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She looked creeped out by him
Miss. Houston was the bomb.
6:50 she was so generous to kiss him like that.. if it was me I would've died right there, with a smile larger than the universe
Was she acting or she actually gave him a French kiss ?
missing u whitney 😍😘😍😘😍
he is so friggin creepy.
So is your face.
Hahaha
Corbin Reid surely looks creepy, does are the kind of guys, who are predators behind closed doors. HE MAKES ME CRINGE.
dublinvids go to hell!
Soo creepy!
He's so creepy when he looks at her.....
✨✨btw, if you weren't there ,,, Whitney hit the scene , like a ton of bricks !!!🙏🏼✨😀#Bamm !
💖👌😍🙌✌😂👀
In just one year, Whitney didn’t just have hits but had impact.. Imagine Paul saying she’s his favourite singer… that’s the highest level of impact
Did y’all see that look he gave after he kissed her on the lips, like he had scored something...the cringe.
Dreamgirl.
When is his "me too" allegation coming out?
i remember this so well...especially the singing of "you are everything"...
😍This is such a sweet and fun interview❣ The interaction between the 2 of them is so good. As always Whitney looked very beautiful and enchanting, but also super adorable.
Whitney's smile always brightens up the darkest times and is so heart warming.🥰 5:42 The most beautiful and soul soothing sound often came out of Whitney's mouth❣
Linda,linda,linda
I can feel that Paul isso inlove with her, who else is not. 💙💞💚
I get weird vibes from paul .. Lol
Me too....something off about him.
DaOrigTruthSeeker Riiiiight. Just weird.. As young as she was here, I wouldn't be surprised if he hunted for younger ones..
ajbreezy11 Shut up you fools.
dublinvids lol. You mad bruh?
rlly....he was like u have a body of a 23 yr old, that was so unnessecary...
Paul Shaffer was a little creepy here I think but Whitney... all class, even at 22! She could sing a court summons and make it beautiful, lol
Eww such a creepy old guy. he continued to flirt and grope her. yuck I can only imagine what was going through Whitney Houston's mind. :-) :-)
He was probably one of the men in Hollywood involved in sexual harassment; Whitney Houston had to fight off a lot of men during her time. Watch the video when she was on Merv Griffin. Just listen to Paul talk to her about her dress and taking it in some more.
LMFAOOOO!!!! I think it was supposed to be a side cheek kiss💀 when they got closer you can see sh kinda tilted her head. Dude just went in for the kill💀💀💀😂
Nigga said YOLO!!🤣🤣🤣
this is really good !! dam Paul been lucky ,what an awsome woman everything in her was beautifull !! singing with so mush soul !!! loved her...
He was so starstruck.
To Whitney it seems all through your life you wondered were you good enough....from your fans of today on many post We always did think you were better than good enough...you had nothing to prove you did your thing...
RIP WHITNEY E. HOUSTON...your legacy still continues..
0:23 nippy looks so uncomfortable
Whitney ♥️ 🎤 🦋 ♥️
ewww he's a weirdo. feel sorry she had to endure is creepiness that whole session.
Right and how he guided her to kiss him on the lips ..it look like she intended to get one on the cheek and he changed up at the last second
How amazing to see this graphic again! I used to record the show every Friday on VHS, go out to the club and watch it when I got home. Good times!
Great episode too!
