- don't say WHITNEY is STILL untouchable , becausee even she admitted tht her voice comes and goes ; alot of ppl can TOUCH thee " VOICE " now , but bCk in her prime day she was unstoppable ! a real fan would understand tht instead of berating every great singer after whitney ! #JUSTsayin
beyoncé is my girl but she sounds a hot ass mess when put next to whitney. you are embarassing her with this video. actually this song should have been left untouched after whitney did it. both christina & beyoncé made complete fools out of themselves TRYING to sing this song. i guess they thought that their 12 year old fans would never find whitney's version smh...
I think Beyoncé is the next best contender to Whitney Houston. Whilst I don't like comparing talented singers, Whitney is unreachable and this is common knowledge really. Beyoncé nontheless is in her own league, considering her young age and her genre. Love them both.
It's Whitney who first sung this song with soul, totally different from the Carpenters. If Whitney hadn't done this song, there would be no Bey or Chris' versions.
LMAO!! Who put this video 2gether Beyonce is using an echo Machine and Whitney is singing live and Vocally Whitney Houston remains undisputed by all of the 00' men and women, Whitney Houston is a Queen and living legend beyonce is just a pop star from the best girl group destinys child which she should of called Kelly and Michelle cause she needed help singing this song Christina Aguilers version was better then b's as well
I honestly didn't like Whitney's version. I think Donny Hathaway with Aaliyah following did it best. I'm about to listen to Christina Aguilera's, but I like Beyonce's after Aaliyah.
I think Whitney in her 90s prime could have done the definitive version of this song. So many artists have done their take and in my opinion there really isn't the the definitive version yet. Many are very good, but not "it." Maybe Jason Mraz can do it justice.
pppffff There's no doubd Whitney is simply the best,, It's so stupid tto compare both ov them! Beyonce is a very good singer but, Whitney's talent is just ireplaceble! lol
Beyonce's One Dimensional voice should never be mentioned in the same breath as Whitney Houston. Period. Beyonce's voice consists of soft and loud modes and that is it, no variation in color, no pitch or tone changes. Whitney caressed songs, Whitney worked them out in her own special way.
I am a huge beyonce fan. I actually like her voice and tone better than whitney`s. But of course there is no doubt that Whitney can sing her ass off! She Has amazing techniques. And Beyonce is doing great with her voice and career. One day she will be up there with all of the other big and amazing names. But not yet... Oh and whitneys headvoice is unique! i love it!
I did my homework & yes B can sing but WHIT SANG. Don't be a fool 2 believe B can b compared 2 Whit Wash your mouth out with soap 2 even acknowledge B being call The VOICE LISTEN TO WHIT SO POWERFUL. Whitmay NEVER be able 2 capture her past talent but u CAN'T take away what she created as being #1 singer since Minnie Ripperton & B isn't the next unfortunately she will never b able 2 claim the fame of Whit not because she can't sing but talent like like WHIT only come once every blue moon.
Whitney Houston; shes ten times better, but B does what Whit doesn't, like B can dance circles around whit, and Whit can sing circles, mountains, worlds, over B;
pffft, Beyonce can totally hold the notes if she wanted to, it's just she has a different style. I doubt Whitney could do the technical vocal acrobatics as good as beyonce so it evens out.
Well I will say this......Whitney's voice was absolutely amazing....period....However, i am also a fan of Beyonce's voice....I feel that if Beyonce would have sung this song in a higher key, she would have done it so much better. Whitney's voice was rich and she could sing any range hi or lo. Beyonce can as well, just not with this song. It just seems she should have sung it in a higher key.
Love her, but Beyonce cannot mess with Whitney. Watch the whole version of Whitney singing this song... she held this note that Beyonce will NEVER be able to hold EVER.
I love both of them of course but WHITNEY ate her up and digested her on this song live!!! and they were about the same age here too whitney is the queen people talking about her voice now but think about her voice is great for her age now but the artist out today whitney at their age was killing them!!! and this is fact!!!! MY WHITNEY also known as NIPPY
Obviously we know Whitney is amazing... but Beyonce is really amazing as well, and its an unfair comparison. People really do not give Bey the credit she deserves because of her beauty and her image, but she is CRAZY talented
when people of good heart think of whitney, they think of VOICE. when people of good heart think of beyonce, they think of booty shaking and body slamming. not to mention whitney again.
these two artists are in different categories all together...one...being whitney is a seasoned performer...no comparison at all...the other...being beyonce is more of a showmanship...is making her mark on the scene...but in my opinion, don't have that natural gift as whitney...there are some who were born to sing...and those who are taught to sing...
No dissing Beyonce she is a very great entertainer but her voice.......is OK, nothing amazing.Something in her voice sound very unatural,forced and her timbre is kinda irritating.
And yes Beyonce is Faaaaaaaarrr behind Whitney vocally (To RhapsodicAddiction).
she isnt as far behind as you all are making her out to be....Beyonces voice is continuously .....meanwhile everyone elses seems to be diminishing....unnatural? forced? hmmmm thats far fetched
if beyonce came out at the same time whitney came out no one would have paid her voice any attention at all! good singer but even if she came out as the group En vogue still had better singers than destiny's child!
Some of us are to young and immature to acknowledge REAL talent as Whitney Houston being the greatest the VOICE #1 due ti the fact of her past drug addiction. Sorry Beyonce can sing but Whitney in her prime THE VOICE!
one..i am not young nor immature.please do not speak condescendingly to me or about me in hopes to stregthen your argument.simply put whitney has a ver strong voice.ok we get it but beyonce has a very strong voice as well...not only that she has very unique technique, matched with range, and she can dance very well while doin that.yes whitney is the voice but Beyonce is the TOTAL PACKAGE! what a true performer should be. Maybe you yourself sir are to immature or set in your ways to realize that
I admot that andrewpuffy addressed you in a very patronising manne rin an attempt t oimprove his stance in your debate, but to imply that beyonce is a better performer is simply a musical crime. dancing might be interesting, but when yo using as well as the voice whitney houston, ou dont need to dance to keep the audience's attention. and beyonce herself acknowledges whitney to be the best. so your defense if flawed and your arguement invalid. long live WHITNEY THE VOICE HOUSTON!
yeah right! Whitney can still sing circles around her! She doesn't have her range, vocal clarity, and she doesn't have as beautiful of a voice as Whitney. Beyonce has artificial talent; the kind you practice on; Whitney's is all natural.
Beyonce career title is not Performer, there classified as SINGERS, and Whitney is the BETTER singer... Whitney captivates, her hand movements and gestures, does the same as Beyonce's dancing, When Whitney sings its called a PERFORMANCE, people don't give her standing ovations after she PERFORMS because shes a bad PERFORMER, her and Beyonce have different type of performance styles. Whitneys accolades alon show she is the TOTAL package, from singing to acting, Beyonce is dances better thats all
No one on earth can live with Whitney Houston in her prime. She is the Greatest. Beyonce is a good singer but she isnt a great one. She doesnt have the amazing technical abilities that are not matched in Whitneys voice. To be a great you need to be able to do something no one else can, and Beyonce' voice can be matched, Whitneys cant.
Beyonce, the new Whitney ??? What have you got in your ears ?! Yes, she's a very good singer. I really like her voice and her sense of music. But she's not and never will be at the same level of THE VOICE. Whitney is still unmached ! No one can sing like her.
I do appreciate this video. But to say that Beyonce is the new Whitney Houston is wrong. But to say that Beyonce isn't up to Whitney's level is wrong as well. They're are two different singers. People went to Whitney's concerts to hear her sing. People go to Beyonce's concerts to watch her perform.
Whitney version is soulful the way the original is performed...the echo is not appropriated for this song sorry. Sing is straight out no chasers. Listen to Donny Hathway and then you will know how the song should be song.
Absolutely right. Beyoncé just sing well. I mean her tehcnique, her voice, got nothing special, nothing new. Just another girlie, with a girlish voice. Whitney is a woman and her voice and technique were mature at a young age (compare her first album with the actual albums of your B and HEAR the difference)
regardless her career has not reached the peak Whitneys did.. Drugged up and ruined, Beyonce in her prime is Light years below Whitney in her prime vocally...
okkay see this is where you are wrong..whitneyss prime has come and gone...beyonce is still coming into her own....she is still growing so to assume that she is in her prime is closed minded that why you lack the ability to see her talent...you assume that because she is ontop that she has reached her prime...she is only beggining to discover her individual self and already at legendary status in the eyes of sooooo many...shes 27 whitney 40+ come one...you do the math
You have a point, my only rebuttal being that Whitney was 28 when she sang at this performance.......Beyonce better start producing if she wants to be considered a vocalist, let alone on the same level as WH
i will give you that...i spoke out of anger.....but my opinion will not change...whitney has a very good voice but people for some reason like to try and down play beyonces vocal talent to defend there favorites......Beyonce is a way better performer than whitney hands down and as far as vocals....ok she may not be at whitneys level but she is not far behind....she is up there with her..im not saying that she is dethrowning your queen..he has gained her own title up there with the other legends.
Whitney OWNS this performance! :)
