  • Wow this song is sooo me!!!! Had some tough times these last couple of years getting out a marriage with an emotional abuser that made me feel like I'm worth nothing every day of my life but I made it through and I'm better than ever now!!!

    I guess what they say is true the darker the night the closer the dawn!!!!!!!!!!!

  • :-)

  • when i listened to the songs i cried ,, amazing song <3

  • I am just ending an addiction of self injury and a girl on our dance team had a solo to thi song. And everytime i watch her, i cry. also, because i think of me and how i truely didnt know my own strength.

  • That picture of Whitney at the ery beginning, is the best she has ever lookied. Yes, when a beautiful woman is young, there is total heat. BUT, a woman doesn't really step into her true beauty until she is older. At nearly 50, Mrs. Brown, looks phenominal. Be gentle on your voice. It will come back in the exact form that it is to be. Train slowly. It doesn't need to sound like it did 30 yrs ago. It will now sound as it should. Sing from the inside!

  • @MrTopgearguy1 Her surname is Houston not brown that bastard almost ruined her career.

  • AS CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH WE GO THROUGH SOME VERY DEVASTATING THINGS IN LIFE, LOOK AT JOB, WOW I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE, BUT SOMETIMES I FEEL JUST LIKE JOB, 1 THING FOR SURE IS THAT WE DO HAVE THE STRENGTH, WE HAVE 2 CONTINUE 2 BELIEVE JESUS 4 WHO HE IS. @11dejana HONEY I HAVE BEEN THER SEVERAL TIMES AND GOD SAID NOT SO, HONEY WE WERENT BUILT 2 BRAKE, SO AT THOSE TRYING TIMES, PRAY SCREAM, CRY, SHOUT, JUST IN THE END STAND BECUZ HE HAS HIS HANDS ON U.

  • Whitney Jesus is your strength, your hope, and I know He was your way out. While you were successful the world received your songs with gladness but they abandoned you during your tough times and now many judge you because of what you went through. But I know that Jesus never stop loving you and I loved you during your great tough moments because true love does not add conditions. God bless you and continue to strengthen you until He brings you back to his mercy seat to sing for him instead.

  • Needed to hear this today.

  • I love this song! Speaks of a women who got through a lot and survived! We all go through so much in life. I think it speaks highly of her to try and get through it all. Some end up dead or completely lost. But she survived!

  • Always love you Withney!! Greeting from Indonesia...

  • thank you whitney for this song....

  • Whitney, keep going strong love u to bits.Great lady, u wouldn't be human if u don't make mistakes, we all should learn to get strength from our mishaps, what does not kill u makes u stronger. The school of life is full of mishaps, I wish everyone will believe that they are stronger than they think, don;t let people get u down turn around the negativity and bring out the best in u.It is possible when we believe.

  • Missed you so very much Whitney,its soooo good to hear you again! One Great Lady !! Wonderful song ! Sung  Beautifully X

  • We can't choose which stage to sing, but we can search and find the best repertoire to be sung... That was what she did and it was wonderful.

    Whitney to life *

  • One of the most inspiring ballads ever

  • my anthem!

    

  • I THINK THIS SONG IS WONDERFUL, SO TRUE AND SO APT FOR SO MANY OF US IN THE WORLD......

    NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN BREAK US IF WE DO NOT ALLOW IT........ IS TRUE WE NEVER KNOW OUR INNER STRENGTH UNTIL WE HAVE TO FIND IT....

    NEVER LOSE HOPE! ALWAYS STAY TRUE TO YOUR SOUL.

    THANKS WHITNEY WE LOVE YOU YOUR SONGS ARE AMAZING ALWAYS. <3

  • I commend her for at least expressing what she went through in SONG rather than ignoring it and breaking down again. Britney wasn't able to do this because she's still holding onto that past, that's my personal opinion. Those who use music as therapy and do songs like this, they prevail and Whitney has. I'm waiting for Britney to put a song out like this.

  • Whitney I love you from singing the greatest love of all. You have annointed voice like all of us we think that we can do things they way we want. But God's will reign so whatever you went through and experienced was written it was supposed to happen. Because greater things are upon you what does not kills us makes us stronger. God has forgiven forget what the world thinks. God giveth and taketh it away when we abuse or use it. The world praise you cause God praise you...I love u

  • whitney houston godlove you

  • whitney God is with you and i know he will see you true

  • OMG... THIS SONG IS SOOOOO ME......

  • I see she has come along way keep up the good work.....!

  • Its really sad that so many people are putting whitney down! Its almost as if there happy she lost her once beautiful voice! well to all those haters FUCK YOU! Whitney probably goes threw more struggles and hardship in one day! than you go threw in your entire life! To me whitney is a hero! who has overcome many obstacles in her life where others would have failed! whitney ive glad youve found the strength to make a comeback ignore wat jealous haters say! youre the VOICE! & always will be!

  • I love Whitney cos she knows that on this planet, we r human, shit happens and then u pull urself 2gther and move on....no need to waste precious time hating, it's not productive, just live your life cos it's short! We aint here 4ever so enjoy it now while u can, no negative energy needed here, this is Whitney's page!

  • Her new album is good like all of her others. Artist like Whitney, mariah and celine are legends. Her voice sounds great better than all of these autotune no talenated so called musicians.

  • I love Whitney. :3 <3

  • This song summed up my life for the past 7 years..It makes me cry everyvtime Iisten to it, not in a sad way though. Finding out who I am and my strength is the greatest gift and I am so thankful. Thank U Whitney for this song..I thought I was the only one...

  • IF EVERYONE WOULD STOP JUDGING HER VOICE "NOW" AND LOOK AT WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE HAS DONE AND THE TRUE STORY BEHIND BEHIND WHY SHE IS SINGING THIS SONG ~ IT WOULD BE GIVING HER THE JUSTICE AND THE RIGHT TO SING THIS BEAUTIFUL POWERFUL SONG HOWEVER IT IS. COME ON PEOPLE WHAT HAPPEN TO OUR HUMAN COMPASSION??? GEEZ

  • @mariewilder ........"Cowardly??" Hey, SHE'S the one that didn't have respect for HERSELF OR HER FANS and TOOK crack and DESTROYED her career and looks. Don't blame ME for stating the OBVIOUS.

  • @generic53 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

  • This song goes out to everyone whos been through life.... Even if your poor...don't let anyone make fun of you because of who you are..or what you do..nor how you look. Just try..and if you fall...just get back up and try it again. You'll make it through anything if you try your best. That is the only thing that counts. Life is not worth living if theirs no pain in between...but end the...end...its always happiness you'll find..

    "At the darkest hour, my faith kept me alive." Whitney sings.

    "As ye have faith so shall your powers and blessings be. This is the balance, this is the balance, this is the balance..."

    BAHA'I FAITH

  • IM NOT BUILT TO BREAK

  • My Queen <3

  • OUTSTANDING -TELLS A POWERFUL STORY

  • loved danyls version of this :) <3

  • 2:30 Epic! Nuff said...

  • It is amazing how negative people are. Whitney did no more than anyone else; she just got caught. I commend her for surviving it all. For all the haters out there, I wonder if she looked in your closets, what skeletons would she find? Keep fighting Whitney-you're human. You're allowed to make mistakes, hit rock bottom and come up fighting with everything you have. You're beautiful. Your voice is still beautiful. I love your latest album. It has heart, soul and honesty. I'm so proud of you. SING!

  • @rejenells Thank you for such a positive message. If the world were full of people with such a positive, loving and caring attitude, that would truly be a world to live in!

    In life we should focus on each other's good points and encourage one another - always. Thank you for showing the way!

  • @sisterelena My Mom used to tell me that some of us get caught, some don't. By that I think she meant that we all have skeletons in our closets and sometimes they're found out . Who we are, what we become and how we respond to life is determined by so many factors. We are all just humans beings with imperfections. Whitney made mistakes; show me anyone, anywhere on this planet who hasn't. Life is about choices. We've all made bad choices. The key is to learn from those choices and then we grow.

  • @rejenells Wow! What wise words. Thank you so much for sharing!

  • @rejenells that is so true... people are so quick 2 judge. and i like her album myself

  • @rejenells How did she get "caught"?

  • @Knaakak Please don't pick a fight, if that is what your question is about. Caught was simply a choice of words with no hidden agenda. Read all of my posts; they are all above this one. I am behind Whitney 100%.

  • her music/voice still makes me cry.. just wonderful.<3

  • She have the voice , She is a powerfull women!(L)

  • They played this at my graduation :)

  • LOL 0:51
