@kmaur21 You think she could had became an opera singer? I do, because her voice is virtuosic and she has so much vocal flexibilty to do mezzo coloratura works that opera singers do.
@ThePianoguy89 Yep I believe Nippy could sing opera full time in her prime with ease, and if she went that direction she would have still had her voice to the fullest today.
@kmaur21 She would definitely still have her voice today if she sang opera. Not including the fact that she abused drugs, but her not having any formal training is another factor in the decline of her voice.
@ThePianoguy89 Actually Whitney did have formal training believe it or not at some point in her career. Her control over her head, superhead, and coloratura abilties is just unreal. Really there is no excuse for her vocals today besides touring so much in prime, substances, and just lately not practicing. We have to remember Whitney has not toured in the capacity in 2010 since 2000. From 2001-2009 she has been lazy vocally not performing and doing substances.
@kmaur21 I also Pianoguy89 Whitney's mixed voice is still crystal clear too. Like when she sung HWIK on AI contestant mentor that was all mixed voice. She can mix her notes super high thats why she will always be a soprano in tessiura. She sings in chest way too much being past 40 years old. She is not in her 20's anymore her chest voice is naturally more raspy.
@kmaur21 You are right. Her belts are strong because she uses her diaphragm as a source of her power. She belts in the mask, giving it that resonant sound. In sound live performances you can tell that it is pure chest voice and not mixed. You noticed that the Greatest Love of All studio version is always different from the live version. When she hit the D5 in the live of that song version it did not sound mixed at all, but it was still resonant and powerful.
@ThePianoguy89 Yep most her belts are in the mask, like all them for the most part live. There times she does mixed but her mixed tones are very high normally. Her belts in mask are extremely high even now. Like when she sung MLIYL NBL tour those belts at the end are all in mask. She should mix more now she older.
@ThePianoguy89 I also notice for the most part Whitney starts from head voice, and then goes into whistle, its her signature when she does it. It shows her vocal flexibility and honestly I think her voice in her prime was the most flexible able to do anything any given moment. Mariah starts a note at whistle forgeting head, but Whitney usually builds into whistle and predominates it with head voice like a opera singer. Only a few times Whitney hits a whistle note not that way.
@kmaur21 Yes I heard that she had vocal training during her career. What about before she was a famous singer? Someone said that she was not mixing her belts properly allowing her to strain her voice. Her coloratura abilities is magnificent indeed, and her ability to transition from chest voice to head voice is amazing!
@ThePianoguy89 Well I think Whitney not mixing is her choosing cause back in early 80's her mixed tones were very apparent. In I Am Changing NYC where she hits D6 Eb6 Now I can see thats a mixed note, but most think it was head. She also mixes alot in NYC 1986 Jones NY concert. Her mix is very very high the Arsenal Hall performance of All the Man I Need He............. part is full mixed voice and she went higher during the rehearsal. Her chest voice is just extremely high powerful too.
@ThePianoguy89 Also Whitney really does not have to rely on mixed voice alot in her prime cause her chest alone was extremely high. Patti, and many other sopranos have to rely on mixed voice past D5 or E5, Whitney has belted way up in fifth octave to about A5 in chest alone comfortably. She can mixed even higher when she chooses. Now that she is older she should mix her notes much more. Women's chest voice get raspier when they age due to hormones. Thats why Whitney needs to mix the belts.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM is all i can say she sung the fuck out of this song even though it seems that she was stopped up much love for you Whitney
2:59-3:07 no singer could do that complex run in that upper key besides Whitney. Don't sleep Whitney is the greatest female singer ever and will ever be probably!
@trilla4eva2:59-3:07 the guy in the background is mesmerized by it..and im sure he's heard her sing it thousands of times..she just does different stuff each performance...but his reaction is priceless!
She was sick @ the show and still killed it! Nobody will ever have that voice. She is the greatest mf's get it straight and take your hate some where else...................
We all know her past, but even at her worst moment this woman sounds a trillion times better than any singer in her era up till now. Incredible performance by the voice.
you know what performancs like this is why she is and will always be my favorite singer, vocalist, and entertainer of all time. SHE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE GREATEST VOCALIST EVER. Did you hear when she hit that note when she says "THATS JUST AN OLD FANTASEEEEEEE EEE EEE E E E EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEE OH MY LAWD THAT NOTE WAS INSANE
She never failed to serenade me every time I watch her. She's taking her songs to the next level when she has to perform them live. Voice of the generation she is, I must say!
Whitney don't need to do another run in head or superhead voice again after that one at 2:59 and beyond with fantasy. Damn I never heard anything that incredible. I want to fall out of my chair! Girlfriend was too bad for her own good!
How high did Nippy go the begginning when she does whoo.... That note is in whistle/superhead voice, plus the bird note she does at the end when she goes for you.. who who who ha who.....
Cinqoctaves your nothing but MC fan so please!!!!!!!! I sing myself and and sing in whistle register as well. I know what whistle and superhead sounds like.
You do tend to exaggerate over every video about how high she goes.
Besides, it's so silly how you go on and on about notes. Who gives a shit... it's all about it SOUNDS in the end... not how high she technically went. So fucking annoying.
Whaou! comme toujours Whitney a une maitrise excellente des notes!!!! que Dieu te vienne en aide my Nippy honey!

For you who wa ha who........... a part of that note was in superhead voice.
kmaur21 3 years ago
No that was not in super head voice, that was pure head vocie.
Her vocie seems very high cause her head tone is very airy,so you have the impression the note is very high but actually this is a G5.
May I ask you a question?Did you know music?Did you have singing loessons or any instrument?
Cause all you said since the beginning(and not only on this video) is like 99% crappy and fake.

Seriously are you deaf? Whistle or superhead start after E6,you know what is E6!!!!!
Here she is in HEAD VOICE.
And as a Mariah fan,I think I know better than you what is whistle.(Mariah can actually whistle,remember?)
The only thing you have to say against me is that I'm just a MC fan to defend yourself? I'm also a Whitney fan.
You're nothing but...you're just annoying and nothing and most of all don't know what the fuck is a note and whistle voice.
