Thank you! Kim Burrell who, Kim Burrell what! Whatever!! Tbh, I don't know where Kim Burrell fit in at as it relates to Whitney Houston. She's not on my radar as far as great singer's!!
It’s like God was standing next to her with his hands on her shoulders. I remember my granny screaming and crying saying “Yes yes yes she did”…. I was truly a wonder
I'm old and I remember this I was 26.. I truly thought no one would ever compare to Whitney.. and no one has with her way of singing it.. but Chris Stapleton last year did it so differently .. it was amazing also.. Totally different versions but both show stopping. they both give me chills
you got it right girl, she doesn't do too much, she keeps it simple, no unnecessary elevated notes like a mariah, u know music and singing techiniques. she is simply the best ive ever heard and no one comes close. its a unique gift
I remember the 1991 nfl Super Bowl 25 buffalo bills vs New York giants but I was born in 7/16/1986 and 1991 I was 5 years old but now I’m 38 years old in 2024 but I grew up. Listen to Whitney Houston was a music 🎶🎼🎤📀 legend and truly will be missed 🕊️🕊️🌹 in the music industry
I have seen the best Female singers while growing up in the 80s and 90s until today, there have been some amazing talents. From Celine Dion, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey and even recently I have to say Rihanna. Yet with Whitney, she is up there on a level by herself, I have never heard anybody sing like her in my life. I remember as a child I would just lay there listening to her sing, she just touch me like nobody else. She was born to sing and was born to be a superstar, it was so tragic how she lost her life. At least we all get to still listen to this remarkable woman sing, my favourite singer of all time.
I really like the dynamic range, especially. She also used vibrato very intentionally--lots of straight tones giving way to vibrato at the end of phrases. You can't leave out the joy, though--her delighting in the situation, and appreciating her own gifts--it is palpable in those moments where you see her face. This also came at a time of particular national unity following the attack on the Towers and American troops in harm's way, so it was a very friendly context for performing the National Anthem, and that had something to do with why people upvote this performance as well. It's always been one of my faves. I'm not gonna lie though--this a cappella performance by quintet of young teenagers is right up there. Give it a listen and thank me later.😃 th-cam.com/video/QKCVS57j284/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8fZD1lrf8Gt2sB4v
Kim Burrell was absolutely Not Whitney's mentor. She was a friend. But I can't put anyone against Whitney Houston at this point, as far as a great singer goes. Whitney was in her own league. RIP, she left us some amazing music ❤👍🏼
You need to check out Lucy Thomas and the duet she does with her younger sister singing "The Prayer". Prepare to have your mind blown. Great channel btw. th-cam.com/video/kzyi0W2gymA/w-d-xo.html Also another mind blower is Dan Vasc, a heavy metal singer doing "Amazing Grace" th-cam.com/video/89g9yMGFGlM/w-d-xo.html
NO one today can come close to Whitney's vocal abilities and talent - she was TRULY a gift from heaven to the world. IMO Adele has great vocals but she ain't no Whitney lol
Would love for you to checkout a singer Glennis Grace from the Netherlands. She does Whitney Houston covers. The closest I’ve heard. Please react to Ladies of Soul video Glennis Grace RUN TO YOU. The video has almost 10 million views.
New subscriber! How can we pay for reaction requests? Can you two react to whitney houston doing saving all my love for you live in japan 1991? I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Bro, stop... ain't NO BLACK PERSON in America that didn't hear Whitney's Star Spangled Banner. And i know you ain't tellin the truth bc you just said "back to her prime". How you know that if you haven't heard? Hmmm... if you REALLY didn't, for someone who says is a vocal coach, that says a lot abt you. Or you're not a fan after all. Just sayin' 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing another great video. Great job.❤❤😊😊Whitney is awesome.However please check out Chris Stapleton singing his version of the National Anthem.His version is spectacular and on another level.He could definately give Whintney a run for her money and give her a great challenge.❤❤❤
His version is incredible, but sorry not on this level of pitch perfectness and bombast and dynamics and control. Not taking anything away from his because he is probably a diustant second. You do not understand the magnitude of Whitneys version. This a 1991 version and for 33 years it has stood separate, You can find every year dozens of articles about this version for 33 straight years. It is the only version to sell over a million physical copies and land on Number 6 on billboard pop chart! When Chris's version can stand the test of time and have over a 1000 articles about it over 33 years post singing then you can talk about it giving Whitneys version a run for its money. Until then, what you typed is recency bias. There is no metric to support your assertion.
@@Kenyon712 Yep, Mama Cissy Houston TAUGHT Whitney how to sing - if anyone could give Whitney a run it would be Cissy IMO - go back and watch Cissy when she WAS young - WOW !!!
@@SpydaMikeHD kim burrel was not Whitneys mentor. You are very misinformed it is sad. Kim Burell was born 1973!! Whitney in 1963! Whitney had a no 1 album which was the biggest debut album of all time when Kim Burrel was not even yet a teenager! You have your messed up facts wrong. Check your facts, you are embarrassing yourself. Whitney loved Gospel singers and she was always kind to them and gave them a lot of space, fame and recognition. Go and check the preachers wife album from 1996. Filled with gospel greats like Shirley Ceasar and Cece winans who is her friend. Kim Burrel was younger friend not a mentor. she like the rest of her friends were leaches... Whitney was one of the only reason the grammies ev er started featuring a gospel segment and that was in 1996! Cece winans has a whole interview on how they applied for a gospel segment and the grammies refused and she had to get Whitney to force them to devot a whole 20 minute segment to the preachers wife album in 1996 and also 1997! A lot of you kids have no clue the magnitude iof Whitney and how she pushed gospel mainstream. That her album remains the biggest gospel album of all times!
I understand that this is a reaction channel,but it is really disrespectful to talk over our National Anthem. Better to have listened through to the end,then commented.If you had to pause it once,perhaps...😣
Did you remove the last video that you reacted to on Diana singing Last dance? If yes, why?I tried locating the video but i am unable to find it.(SpydaMike) i await your reply.😢😢
She jumps down at the end and waves like "thanks, y'all" like she just didn't do what she just did.
“This woman is something else” indeed!
❤
Thanks for your reactions!
The greatest singer ever in my opinion. No one can unseat this version of the national anthem. She was the best of the best!
Mariah Carey in her prime????
Twelve years on and she is still the unbeatable golden standard as far as female singers are concerned.Whitney Houston
Whitney will always be the queen, always!
Facts.
The amazement in baby girl's eyes is the perfect example of what a God-given talent projects!
Best voice of all time idgaf what anyone says. NOBODY will ever be on her level. Shes the Queen.
I agree. The best singer the world has ever known.
Better than Celine?@@polyprinz
@@ShelbyFarrowAre you serious? Lol...Celine has a beautiful voice, but she could never compare to Whitney.
Still THE best of all time. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. And makes me cry.
I've never heard anyone sing the Star Spangled Banner better than Whitney Houston.

You said it ALL, right there
Kim Burrell was absolutely not Whitney’s vocal mentor. Her mentor was Cissy Houston, but she was also inspired vocally by Dionne, Barbara and Aretha.
Thank you! Kim Burrell who, Kim Burrell what! Whatever!! Tbh, I don't know where Kim Burrell fit in at as it relates to Whitney Houston. She's not on my radar as far as great singer's!!

She sang it so powerfully and with so much heart. Not to mention her skill. Unbelievable!
We were/are blessed by her voice. It just hits. In your soul. Thank you Whitney. ❤
I fall in love with her all over again when I see this. Beautiful.
Whitney Houston had a once in a lifetime voice. Her range, power, and how absolutely effortless she made it seem, truly truly amazing.
Listening to her leaves me speechless and in tears. Wonderful.
Everyone that followed doing the National Anthem is judged by 1-Whitney...She is the best ever. She did it flawlessly, without effort and with heart.
Whitney " The Voice " Houston was a beast long before the term became a thing. Rest easy queen. Still sorely missed. Gone but never forgotten. ❤💐💯🪦
you got it right girl, she doesn't do too much, she keeps it simple, no unnecessary elevated notes like a mariah, u know music and singing techiniques. she is simply the best ive ever heard and no one comes close. its a unique gift
What amazes me is that she didn’t rehearse this. She listed to the orchestras composition on a Walkman right before the performance
Listened*
She is the best❤
During that time and the Bodyguard era No one could touch Whitney. She was just different…

React more to more Whitney
I can watch it 10 times and every time I have tears.
I’ve said this before .. that wasn’t a performance .. that was an experience 🩵
TAKE NOTES YOUNG LADY FOR THIS IS HOW YOU SANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! MIC DROPPED...

ALL HAIL THE VOICE! WHITNEY! 👑👑👑👑👑
Glad to see young people witnessing what real talent is, not like the fake crap today
God has bless a lot of singers but it’s like he left his hands on Whitney 3 seconds longer.
@@terrellbryant6471 seriously!’
La vos mejor del mundo
Listen to the champion and know she sang from her ❤️
Our country needs to come together in bad times. Whitney show me this
Lisa Fisher is the GOAT. Check out the live video of her in Japan singing "How Can I Ease The Pain"
Kim Burrell was absolutely Not Whitney's mentor. She was a friend. But I can't put anyone against Whitney Houston at this point, as far as a great singer goes. Whitney was in her own league. RIP, she left us some amazing music ❤👍🏼
Whitney Houston is as good of a match for a diva voice as Annie Lennox, both can sing over instruments and backup vocalists and still be heard clearly
No one today but Aretha in the past!
I KNOW THE NAME OF THE PERSON THAT CAN COMPETE WITH WHITNEY'S SINGING.. THE NAME IS .... N O B O D Y !!!!
RIP LEGEND you were and are ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whitney could also sing Opera

As I was reading this comment Adele came to mind so we are thinking alike!
She arbitrarily changed it from the 3/4 time it was written in to 4/4 for some reason.
To make it harder which makes it easier for her lol
They wanted her to change it and her father told them to ef off LOL
@@toriboy25 ya the NFL bozos DIDN'T LIKE IT !!! can you believe it ??? It charted twice, in 1991 (top 20) and again in 2001 (top 10) !!!
Not arbitrary. She was a genius at voice.
Could you do Mariah Carey Vision of Love live GMA 1990? ❤
Morisette Amon is the only person living today that can really compare with Whitney
