  • r.i.p

  • She was miming here though...

  • yeah she was lip syncing, so what? Some of those shows policies made the performers lip sync. Too bad, her live version probably would have been even better. Peters pop show was a German tv show from 85 to 89. LOL, even the Germans loved Whitney.

  • @breezemichael "even"? everyone loved whitney she cut accross those darn american race barriers like a hot knife thru butter and i do remember when i first heard her perform live accapella here in london in 87? i think it was a "free nelson mandela " concert .. amazing vocals .. amazing.

  • Semplicemente fantasticaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

    Withney...I saving all my love for you!!!

    Ti voglio bene.

  • awesome!! 

  • Listening to her....makes you wonder what the heck we've been considering a 'great artist' for the past 20 years...Her voice is so far superior to ANYTHING out there today...It's a God damn shame...Addiction is no joke...Peace to you, Ms. Houston and all those that love you...

  • She may not be lip syncing, they quite often annoyingly have the video slightly out of sync with the music track. Whitney never sings anything the same way twice, so I would have to go back to the CD to doublecheck. She could be singing live, to the bed tracks from the CD.

  • R.I.P Whitney. We miss you. People please check out our respectful tribute to Whitney Houston on our page

  • She was 22 years of age here right?

  • @NEELAELISABET yeah she was the same age me and her daughter is the same age as my daughter

  • What can i say Ms.Whitney! You got my true love. Rest in peace my Darling.

  • I wonder why they had her lip sync her own song here?Pantomime basically.Whitney DID NOT ever need to do that,she was perfectly capable of singing live and it would be outstanding.Spiritual.Especial­ly here where she was so so young,she could nail any note so I wonder why they had her do that?Maybe its because they felt that the mainstream audience would want to hear it EXACTLY like the radio edit since that is what they were used to?They didnt want her to go to "church" & put some "stank" on it!

  • playback

    

  • WOW rare to see the queen lip syncing

  • how can a live performance be so flawless, so perfect? RIP

  • @minty121991 Well thats the thing, she wasnt singing live. She was lip syncing her own song.Whitney didnt need to but I imagine they had her do it like that because the mainstream audience was only familiar with the radio edit and they probably didnt want her to put some stank on it and "blacken" it up. You got to remember where Whitney originated from.Alot of people for yrs thought Whitney was just some "pop queen" when in fact, Whitney is a sista from Jersey str8 out the church.

  • Even though this performance was lips sung.. she sang mostly all of her performances.. & shows like this & soul train always made the artists lip sing

  • @BoutaMakeBitchesMad *lip sync not lip sing :)

  • she sang so EFFORTLESSLY RIP

  • No use for fine-tuning, it was done in heaven when she was created. Lovely, easy to watch, no drama, innocent-ish performance laced with adult lyrics. Poor girl. Our love for her made her cry sometimes coz she couldn't convey adequately how much she cared. Let her rest for God's sake. I think its best for her, while we now cry. I'll always remember your words of encouragement to me W. RIP.

  • Thanks for posting. Good quality 1985 brings back good memories Luv u Whitney

  • she is so beautiful :') so is her voice

  • oh my gosh whitney your melting me by the look of your eyes......gosh..... you got the most magnetic beauty and most amazing,incredible voice i ever heared......

  • I love you Whitney! I wash I had the power to bring you back, but I can't. All I can do is just mourn. :.0(

  • The world has lost an amazingly talented artist and the greatest voice ever!! Whitney could move me and many many others to tears,,the soul in her voice was just magic...RIP Whitney ;-(

  • Was there a more beautiful woman that has graced the stage before-during, or even after Whitney?

    NO!

  • She truly had a gift from God. May she rest in peace :).

  • I was so young when that song came out it was so beautiful when I first heard it I didnt know she was the one who sang it but it didnt surprise me its hard to believe she was only 22 when she sang that what an angel RIP Whitney Houston

  • Her hair is hotttt. i want mine like that..tooo beautiful

  • you can tell she was singing along with it too though, just look at her neck. her mic was just off. makes the lip syncing look more realistic. and yes most of the 80s and late 70s shows were lip synced

  • I must say it Whitney era el putas!

  • Whitney Houston looks beautiful and i love this performance

  • Look @ her! She was a baby. Soo beautiful... I desperately wish her life had taken a different turn but I know she tried her best to conquer her demons. There's nothing we can do now but remember her talent and pray for her family. RIP dearest Nippy.

  • IF YOUR ADDICTED TOO SOMETHING , YOU DONT REALLY WANNA DO IT , YOU CAN HELP IT YOUR ADDICTED !! , SOO THERFORE YOU CANT SAY SHE CHOSE DRUGS OVER ANYTHING , LET HER RIP .

  • She didn't need to take drugs.

  • @SuzLa1 and u know this how? she was a drug addict so she NEEDED to take drugs. i love whitney and will always treasure her music but facts are facts. she chose DRUGS over everything and everyone else!

  • @reg12269,it was her choice 2 expiriement ,but not her choice to become addicted. addiction overides choices. i don't think a person wakes up and just decide to become a drug addict and to tell themselves to hell wih my family and friends.

  • sherwynphilip- this is so beautifully put! I love it. Your words are beautiful :)

  • One word: WaW!

  • i wish it was me and not you

  • Everything Was BEAUTIFUL About Her !

  • A beautiful human being inside and out! No other will ever be! There is ONLY one Whitney!

  • STUNNING the tears are still flowing here in the UK What a Star 

  • that's the fresh voice of Whitney I longed to hear but still love her forever!

  • beautyfull

  • Love the hair the voice love it RIP Whitney Houston

  • She had the most angelic voice I ever heard and the prettiest person I ever seen.!!! Rest in peace whitney!!! God will take care of you up there.

  • shes the pretiest women i ever saw. i wish i could have seen her inperson

  • I was 17years old in 1985, having my first crush when this song was played everywhere. Thanks so much for the memories Whitney and may you rest in eternal peace. Love from Singapore.

  • shes an angel and always be remember

  • @rabdad13yes she was able to create a sensorial euphony that was poignant to pop coulture and a hallmark in American Iconography. She was the first to grace MTV back in the early 80s.

  • @rabdad13indeed a hallmark in American Iconograp

  • One of my favorites songs, indeed. I grew up with her music and her amazing voice. She will be always remembered for that. R.I.P Whitney...until you hear the call again.

  • @vivianmoore7 I've been following all the tributes, write-ups, and commentary following whitneys unfortunate death. There has been no negativity, only honor and due-full respect. All the negative comments are directed at scum bag brown. It's not a racist thing, lets not make it that way..all people loved Whitney, she was the best singer ( and most beautiful),easily tops madonna , Celine, Mariah,etc in any category.

  • As she was singing "we'll be making love the whole night through" and "for youuu" tears rose up out of my eyes. Such a beautiful, beautiful, beeeauuuuuutiful voice!

    She controlled her voice, she let it flow out beautifully! So angelic!

    She was gorgeous too!! Of course!

  • This was my favorite song from that soundtrack. I listened to her over and over again my Senior year of high school! The voice!

  • i love u Whitney may your soul rest in peace, could not believe u left us that soon she had so much to offer,

    TARIQ SHAIKH

    Malta.

  • Incredible perfection! <3

  • I am honoured to have read the comments by "rabdad"! i adopt that as posted as views of my own and add further that i couls not have said it any better! thanks for posting this video! just awsum!

  • SO PURE, INNOCENT N SWEET, MY BEAUTIFUL WHITNEY. NOT JUST YET EXPOSED TO ALL THE TOXIC THINGS IN "HOLLYWOOD LIFE" YET. MY SHE REST IN PEACE. <3... 48 DOVES OF LOVE....<3 I LOVE U WHITNEY HOUSTON .........MUAHHHHH

  • If she's singing before August 9th, she's still only 21 years old here, such a babe.

  • @8mycrab YayYAH!!

  • With you from Saving all my love for you to Kelly Price's party song Jesus Love me.....waaaaaaaaay too soon Whitney. My heart aches.

    Irreplaceable. RIP

  • what a voice, it's a shame that drugs destroyed that gift.

  • nope, it is but we don't care. She can sing it for real ;-)

  • Am I the only one who noticed this is lip sync?

  • So I'll shave my hairy balls, yes I'll shave my hairy balls, yes I'll shave my hairy balls for yooooouuuuuuuuuuuu!!! For yooooooouuuuuuuuuu!!! For yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu!!!

  • Rush Limbaugh once said the difference between Whitney Houston and the Costa Concordia was that the Costa Concordia could not be sunk by rock damage.

  • wow she looks pretty and confidence.. R.I.P Whitney.

  • something tells me she still smoked crack back then

  • THOSE ERA GRAEAT MUSIC WILL NEVER COME BACK SHE WAS THE VOICE AND QUEEN

  • I'm gonna be really really good in hopes that when my time is over here on this earth I will be able to one day meet this wonderful spirit in heaven....I am gonna try very hard........

  • Whitney will be forever in our hearths but we shall miss her and her wonderful sing a longs . R.I.P Whitney Houston

  • so maervelously beautiful. Falling in love all over again. God Bless Youtube:X

  • God she was beautiful, so talented I miss her so much feels like i known her all my life

  • I CAME HERE TO WATCH WITNEY SING THIS SONG BUT . I JUST COULDNT DO IT !!!

    I LOVED HER SOOO MUCH AM SOOO DEVASTATED!!!!!

    HOPE TO MEET U UP IN HEAVEN MISS WHITNEY AND HEAR U SING FOR OUR LORD

  • PERFECT!

  • I cant believe shes not singing live here!

  • I missed Whitney's voice before she passed....thinking it would be so very nice if she put out another hit.......

  • The angels in heaven are praising her sweet beautiful voice now!

  • It is heart wrenching to watch this. Such young beautiful extraordinarily talented girl. At the end she was a shadow of her formal self but she is free now. Sing your heart out in Heaven Whitney.

  • Even I ask myself: how can we grieve the passing of someone we knew but only through her music? And the answer to that is testament to the quality of the music that Whitney Houston set for all other singers that came after her, and testament to the intimacy created by her incomparably amazing voice in the hearts of those who grew up listening to her music. No other female voice was greater than hers; even the legends that came before her acknowledged that.

  • It's a shame though that they only loved her for this and not for who she was, I mean people who don't speak good of her now. We need to look at her as a human being and as a person. She was just like us all, human, and beautifull inside as outside. Now I learn that more and more.

  • i did not realize that she was sooooo young when she sang this song;too young for such adult lyrics.Great voice,though

  • @sherwynphilip Some voices touch you more than others. Something with the personality of the voice that connects people, I guess.

  • @MertonHayford u r so correct. i made a similar comment ealier.her singing touches my heart.whatcomes from the heart goes to he heart.

  • こんなにチャーミングでパワフルな彼女の歌をもっと聞きたかった­。最高に可愛くて、直ぐ夢中になったよ。

  • thank you ...Whitney for the memories !!!

  • Wow just Wow, beautiful, pure talent, originality, class, adorable, powerfull, the best and the greatest female singer ever second to none and once in a lifetime gift from above. Whatever happen to her personal life show's that she is a human being just like all of us but a very very especial one of a kind............thank you Whitney you surely are going to be miss by millions upon millions of fans all over the world, Forever Whitney.............R.I.P.

  • BEAUTIFUL. WE'LL MISS YOU...

  • 永遠懷念妳

  • i LOVE you Whitney :'( Rest in eternal peace!

  • if i didn't know any better, i would think she was lip singing, this is so effortless....i know better! the greatest voice on earth is now singing with the angels...love you whitney!!

  • Gosh she went from classy black woman to ghetto black woman. how is that possible?

    I guess Drugs and Bobby Brown.

    Still i loved her music and talent. R.I.P

  • She was 22. I know, because at the time, I was 21.

  • My Lord she looked so young and as if that song was too 'grown up' for her... Never judge a book by its cover. If that was live that wud have been anoda story... She wud have thrown add libs all over lol..

  • R.I.P

    You  R the best

  • That was my favourite song...

  • My little tribute to Whitney, who tragically died yesterday:

    Whitney Houston - Saving All My Love For You (LaRCS, by DcsabaS, 1986)

    watch?v=YRlyV0tEL0A

  • truely a legend. notice in the beginning it was still a little rowdy in the crowd but after a few seconds everyone got quiet. who is this girl... Whitney Huston. rip

  • Poor Whitney

  • Man I forgot she had one of daym best silky female vocals in music ..always hitting the right notes, the kind we could close our eyes & just let it take us away! Well thank God we still have Mariah

  • Such a beautiful, well-poised woman with the most beautiful God-given talent... RIP Whitney...

  • Стуканье пальцямы по микрофону началось как раз с этой желудочной кричалки

  • [*]

  • endless voice!

  • 22 year old and singing her heart out.

  • All the good die

  • In the era when those of us fortunate enough to first hear Whitney's voice and the world began to pay attention, this video is how she sounded in the very beginning, and yet she sang even better in the years to come, her highs and lows strengthened, her control over sound was hard to understand, and in general she was the most impressive singer around. I used to just sit there, stunned as she sang a song, and when she'd rise in fierce revelry towards the end, I'd say to myself, "Unbelievable."

  • @rabdad13 I just LOVE your comment. It aint nunthing but the truth. It upset me when some puerto rican girl said "WTF is a whitney houston? Everybody act like they listened the the B before she died....." And i really got PISSED cuz obviously you could tell she was a YOUNG dumb clueless person. How dare you mock one if not the best female singer in history. She had that one of a kind voice from heaven. TRUELY a God given talent. There will be only one whitney houston. For real.

  • A big lost...R.I.P. Whitney..thank you for the good musics..

  • meu deus quanto vc e linda e talentosa... q deus t leve para um lugar espesial....vc merece..........

  • Such talent.  And so sad the entertainment business ruins so many of our heroes. So lovely here. rip sweetie.

  • R.I.P. THE QUEEN. May finally you rest now :(( we love you Whitney. my prayers go to your family, may God bless them and help them go through this hard time. and thanks to you, for sharing your amazing talent and for making us feel happiness and in love with your music. we'll miss you lots.

  • Clear as a bell...absolutely beautiful!!!

  • RIP WHITNEY, thanks for your music...

  • THE baddest mamma-jamma to ever grace a microphone. She sang the soundtrack of my generation and we had the very best, EVER !!!

    No more tears, pain or loneliness. His grace is sufficient . . . .

    Her new stage: Saaaang'n in the Throne Room. Get it girl . . .

  • Awesome

  • " Shaving off my muff for you "? What does this mean?

  • @spenser330 im saving all my love for you

  • All her albums have been milestones in my life. I will miss you Whitney!

  • wow i love this song.

  • She was my idol growing up.  RIP Whitney!

  • @1tsdrew she was every girl's singing idol growing up. every concert someone tried to do a whitney houston song and usually didn't make it....her voice will never happen again.

  • R.I.P. Whitney. You'll be missed..

  • I WILL MISS U DEEPLY.. U TOUCHED MY LYFE IN SOO MANY WAYS!!!

  • Her voice IS love. Music has suffered a great loss. Rest in Paradise Ms. Houston!!

  • stay away from drugs kids!

  • everything was  pure beautiful !

  • Dog 1985**I was 20 Years Old**Those were the BEST YEARS!!

  • She is a cute diva forever!

  • Definitely a lip sync.

  • Comment removed

  • she may not be lip singing maybe something is wrong with the video-which gives the appearance that she is lip singing-just my opinion

  • damn she skinny!!! sexy though back in her prime. But yes she is an amazing singer...but here she is lip singing...but it makes since for this performance. Artist lip sing all the time to save their voice for big events or up close and personal events. Most artists lip sing concerts or large shows...to save on their voice power. it normal! lol duh! Even MICHAEL JACKSON lip sung!

  • this is so lip synced

  • although she is lip syncing, she is still one of the greatest voices world has ever heard

  • @citizenlen are you sure, all these peter popshow performances sound awfully close to the recorded ones. Even if a performer does it live as good as the recorded ones, you still hear it isn't exactly the same. I don't hear any sign of a live performance. She isn't in the recordingstudio, so there ought to be a difference in sound, timing, phrasing, techniques, effects ... The only difference I hear is the output of the source, because it's not coming directly out of my radio.

  • she's beautiful!

  • This is not lip sync.

  • This was before i was born but She was amazingly beautiful. Such a fresh face and voice ! Simply Beautiful voice. Not tooo much, Never too little ! :)

  • oh - boo to miming! I love to see Whitney singing live - that's when she's best!

  • What a babe! I can't believe she was that good, that young. I't s amazing.

  • i miss this Whitney

  • @32975wetwet

    Hi I'm French, and I agree with you she was at her best. But now she's not the same singer unfortunately

    We miss her....

  • a legend was born

  • my baby no matter what..The Best

  • I never knew she lipsynch'd.

  • @hawkesbayboy1 This is a stadium FILLED up with people. This isn't some small shabby tv studio. So, why would she lip synch when she can sing? Do you have proof that she isn't singing LIVE? She has her mouth directly over the mic as people do when they're actually singing. Usually when people are lip synching they hold the mics any old kind of way. So, are you sure about your lip synch claim or is her singing so effortless you can't believe she's really singing?

  • @CheckMate657879 Nothing wrong with doing the L thing but this is clearly the studio version of the song. Check out 2:17 She obviously thinks something is up with the mic (probably wondering if the mic is still off) and she does something weird with her tongue at 2:19 yet the music comes thru perfectly. Dont get me wrong, she was and i say WAS a singer perfectado!!!!
