  • whitney is already taking drugs or not in 2009 ?! :/

  • @stevensenjaya8 nobody knows

  • @litalover19 Gone

  • What Whitney should have done was change the style of how she did this song. For example Aretha changes the style of her song to fit her voice since its not nearly as good as it once was. That's what Whitney should have done. Sucks that she is goe

  • This is just PATHETIC... a mere shell of what Whitney used to be. This shows you the damage the drugs and partying did. Her voice isn't in the same Zip Code as she used to be. She clips her notes where she used to hold them, and relies on the musicians to fill in the gaps. And to those of you who think otherwise, try comparing this to videos of her earlier performances. She couldn't even make it through the song with out awkward breaks. Just pathetic, riding on her past greatness, nothing left.

  • @BigChiefLtd1 she always performed the song with breaks like this! look up her past live performances of i will always love you!

  • It acually isnt that bad ! I was expecting horrible !!!!!!!

  • awww her vibrato... it all went away.. So sad RIP

  • @RageousHumor she still has some! the high notes are sung with vibrato

  • Dolly Pardon can take her song back now, since she's always bragging about it being her song as if we never knew that.

  • i love how people are assuming drugs killed her

    SHE WAS FOUND IN A BATHTUB DEAD OKAY they don' tknow what killed her yet

    look at amy winehouse everyone was like OOOO DRUGS but it was alcohol!

  • @rustydevilll alcohol is basically a drug

  • @rustydevilll Nobody was even talking about her dying on this video until you did.

  • @rustydevilll You know whats weird? They say it was xanax...well supposedly. But she didn't literally mix the drugs and alcohol, the alcohol was in her system from the previous day. I just find that kinda strange, i've never heard of that before. It seems to me that she would've peed it out or puked it out by than.

  • Damn! This sounds good for being in 2009!

  • Okay i tell a difference okay her white microphone didnt have the air ways shut off like this one did so this ine you cant really hear her weezing like the mic did. So yeah she should of uses this mic the whole tour

  • whitney, you have, so beautiful , amazing, killed voice, AND i absolutely love you,but the drugs not helps for you:)

  • imma huge whitney fan ! iREALLY am but iLove this video cuz she's just playing and being silly lol but the "i hope" @2:15 with that laugh!! lol gets me every time

  • she sounds pritty good on this clip hope she keeps on imprving

  • Actually she sounds great here, the voice is actually clear and not that raspy.... I like this performance alot, :)

  • She's struggling, but I got a kick out of her throwing her head back and laughing She knew what they wanted. She had to cough and take way too many pauses, but she delivered, God love her. She can get it back, but it'll take work. The venue is not doing her justice, I think a smaller, more intimate theatre. She is swallowed up in that cavernous coliseum. The sound could be more controlled, and she'd be able to really get the crowd in her hand. I hope she gets her mojo back. Amen

  • Sorry but how can you say she can't sing? She hit the big note and sounded great. I call that a good singer. Not in her prime, but you'd have to be an idiot to expect her to sound the same for 15 - 20 odd years!

    Celine dion would probably be going through all this bad publicity if she sang her notes live. I love Celine, but i think it's unfair to say that it's just Whitney who has fallen - all good singers fall because your age ruins your voice, not just taking drugs.

  • @pathetic321 you're so right

  • 4:50 4:51 operatic coloratura at its best!

  • @kmaur21 what's that mean

  • 4:50 operatic sing girl!

  • She sung for alot years hardcore it would take her a while to get used to singing like that again!

  • She is the only singer who sing LIVE IN TOUR!!!

    Celine USES PLAYBACK for her big notes

  • @chesleycareystar Sure does, Whitney sings live hits all those high coloratura notes high for years, give that lady her props!

  • @chesleycareystar But the drugs killed his pretty voice

  • @chesleycareystar That`s not true. Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Sissel Kyrkjebø and Josh Groban is someone that sings live in conserts and for the big notes to.

  • fell into the crack, the lost beautiful voice she had

  • 3:14

    You can not say she sounds crap and this is amazing.

  • And still I'm saying she has the most powerfull voice in the world..

  • She is good here!!

  • I wish people would stop effing saying sad and sorry and all these stupid unhappy faces - GO AWAY!!! Whitney doesn't need people like you being negative. She hit the "and i" and you people still get at her. LEAVE HER ALONE!!! She's doing amazingly now lets give her a break! The head voice notes at the end were nothing short of Amazing and if you didn't hear that then you are most definately deaf! What gives people like you the right to comment in such a harsh and critical way? Exactly!!!!

  • sad

  • This is really sad.

  • I'm so sorry her voice has gone so fast. Sooner or later it would have happened, but this way it's just painful.

    It's nice to know that drugs can't take all the records we all have of her uncomparable voice of some years ago.

  • this is tragic, she's trying to sing a register lower its so painful. but atleast she looked great.

  • @akuapiata i never saw a performance where she sang the same key as the original, maybe 1.

  • @iiAmitx3 I have, actually during the early 90's she'd sometimes sing a key higher. If u neva saw it but did maybe 1, I don't get it? Did u see it or not?

  • @akuapiata i thought i never saw one but then i remember that when i saw the movie "the bodyguard" in the end it shows her in a performance when she is doing the same key as the original, but can you tell me what performances she sang a key higher?

  • @iiAmitx3 Sure her grammy performance in 1994 and another on tour in Miami, I was there. She was awesome & will neva be rivalled.

  • @akuapiata This performance is only half a step down. She used to sing it live with the AND IIII note being a b flat but now its an A :)

  • that crack will kill yhu...tha Lord took it from her

  • did whitney have 2 tours

  • :((

  • She was beautiful, but now she is only a part of time.

  • She is not a singer anymore. Her time passed.

    That's from Slovenia (Europe).

  • she is on her way

  • whitney, I wish you joy and happiness, but above all this, i wish you love!

  • She´s still got the power.... in a different way of singing, but she´s still a Diva

  • People really need to realize Whitney sounded great at the beginning of this tour. For realz. About 2 or 3 months into the tour, she started getting sick, allergies, weight gain, possibly menopause, and a lot of strain on her voice from singing a lot! For example 3:12 she sung that with such power and didn't take a 15 minute break just to towel herself down or get water. She went right into it! I think it's when she sings for a long period of time "The Voice" starts getting VER VERY hoarse...

  • @ 3:19 y did she stop singing and look away r at the band she looked pissed lol

  • @Ericloveswhitney lol, no she's not. that's her signal to the backup singer sharlotte gibson to sing the high note in the crescendo. she doesnt sing that, smh.

  • Not bad !!!

  • lmfao nooooo

  • When i saw her she physically could not do those notes at 3:43. Nothing came out.

  • This performance is amazing! For sure the best performance of this song since 1999, I LOVE IT!

  • He messed her up Whitney had the voice here but the tempo was too slow for her. Her soprano friend was there that day.

  • Whitney Houston gave that look!!! lol she was like if you don't speed up this tempo.. She gave him the you getting fired look lol

  • she was amazing on the second Chorus, Really amazing,

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOW

    3:12 you can't say 'she can't sing'

    that is solid proof that she is still 'the voice'

    Obviously not as good as before, but hey age ruins your voice plus you must bare in mind she went through an abusive relationship, drugs and alcohol problems -- this is just out standing.

    Before we would be shocked by her voice. Now not only are be shocked by her voice, but we are shocked that after all shes gone through she still can put on a better performance than any artist today.

  • Wow she sounds totally different. I'll have to stick to buying the oldies she recorded and hope she gets the royalties. Maybe she should try songwriting or arranging. I love whitney.  Hopefully it improves.

  • What makes this woman such a legend is that after all she's gone through she can still put on a better perfomance than all these artists around today and she doesn't need to do something outragous or have a load of fire works in the back ground - unlike lady gaga - to have a gpod performance :)

  • Her voice was good in Russia!

  • epic fail

  • O tempo passa mais a Voz dela ,continua surpreendente ,the best Voice Whitney Houston

  • Qualche incertezza all'inizio ma poi è come un fiume in piena....spazza tutto ciò che trova di fronte a sè...semplicemente divina!!!!

  • she has kind of lost her artistry

  • she just has problems with transition between head voice and chest voice.... and she has to correct a lil bit her way of hittn those high notes... she can do it ! she wasn't terrible in there! i enjoyed it even if shes not at her 80's or 90's level

  • this is terrible...ouch that hurt to hear

  • OMg this is terrable !! sounds like some old bird on karaoke down the local !!

  • Fuck charic she can't sing lame

  • i think her voice will come back :)

  • If you want to hear young Whitneys voice you should try Charices version. She is one of the closest to Whitneys voice and she can hit those high notes in live too. She can even sing original songs in live.

  • SAD SAD SAD... She took her talent (voice) for granted..what god gives he can take away....she should not be on tour..

  • Give her chances and times, shw will get back her voice wnd we will call beck THE VOICE.....Go Whitney.....I will always love you......

  • She sounds better here then in alot of her 2010 tour performances..proves she is not ready for a tour at all..it came 1 or 2 years to early..she just should make performances on shows like oprah or at the wma's...her voice isn't ready for singing as much as in a tour!

  • @CountygeneralER exactly my opinion!

  • @CountygeneralER You know. she need money

  • @juanzk1; lol..Whitney does not need money..she made many many millions. She does not ever have to work again.

  • As far Mariah please she has been MIA for the last 5 years lip synching her way thru performances please she is giving us shit too.

  • Whitney needs to stop smoking cigarettes and do do cardio to get her lungs in shape also work with a vocal coach. I am sick of these shitty performances. As far as Mariah pl

  • mal mal mal mal mal mal mal mal mal mal mal que mal canta esta mina ahora la cago no pagaria nica por verla jajjajjaja

  • Lets Pray for her

  • Has she been smokin pack after pack or what's goin on here?!!!!! Someone pleeease tell mee!

  • She losts her voice years ago. :) This is not Whitney Houston. This is devil. :D It sounds funny and horrible.

  • every artist is a human beeing...not a machine.

    everybody should appreciate the work "icons" like her or michael jackson

    have done. a body gets older and her age is visible now...

    but that women did more in her live...than everybody who has time to post something in this forum...

  • Ooo....My......God......

  • what happened to her voice?..but she's not bad at all..

  • I thought this was really good lol :D I still like her - I know her voice isnt what it was -but i must admit I do kinda like the way she sings it now- Its deeper and more growly :) I know thats not how its meant to be done, but i still think shes great!

  • oh my gosh!

    shes not bad, but her beautiful voice is gone :(

  • baaaaaaad!!!!!

  • O M G !!! she was veryyyyyyyyyy bad

  • she needs to start from the drawing board. Needs to get a voice coach and train her voice again. Unfortunately she will never do that because she is too full of herself. This is an absolute tragedy.

  • shes not too bad...just a lil scratchy and flat...but i think she is still good...do we ever hear mariah hit her whole 7 octave range anymore at 40 yrs old??? i think not..

  • @luckyc120 but Mariah's tour had just great reviews and her vocals were praised, whats not happening on whitney's latest tour, which is sad, but its the reality and she shouldnt be doing concerts, saving her voice for tv appearances

  • v good

  • Why does she stop singing at parts? Whitney, you can't expect the audience to sing the song for you.  I hate the way she sings now. She stops singing in the middle of the song. She gives the microphone off to the audience. She doesn't hit all the notes right. She sounds good (she still has the potential) but it's like she's not even trying. Like she thinks she still THAT good. But she's not. But she's not horrible. She still got it but she needs to realize she has to work for it.

  • i am happy that whitney came back, and she is not with her old voice, she had drugs troubles.....and now she is singging again ...........im really happy for her ......

  • watcha all talking about? she sounds great

  • Testament to the physiological horrors of drug abuse.

  • oh my god what happened to her voice... it's almost like this is satire.

  • was hat diese Frau nur ihrer unglaublichen Stimme angetan ??

  • I wish nothing but the best for her, this really saddens me. Im praying for you Whitney. Im only sad because she knows whats shes capible of, but something holding her back. I know that has to be the worst feeling. Knowing you can do something, but something else is blocking it. But she's still one of thee best that has ever done it!

  • She exited like a diva...

  • ça a beaucoup changer ...

  • you get over yourself and come off your high horse

  • Only God can restore her voice.

  • I pray he will, and with his power anything is possible. After all he conquered death didnt he? Well done Whitney

  • @nimpha1971 , Thats right and he can lol..

  • @nimpha1971

    Only Whitney can restore her voice.

  • @nimpha1971 no god can do nothing, sometimes it's just to late

  • i love whitney, but i would not pay to see her live now! i dont know what this is, sounds like she talking and sings a little! just a hot ass mess!

  • she is still way better than any of her contemporaries, and most other singers out there... and she's gorgeous.

  • You're so right

  • this isnt half bad. she is just not as good as she was 20 yrs ago. she still has great tone...and commands the stage

  • second thought donno about the "youu" part i guess someone else did it but still dont get why she was mad

  • She is doing her best but i have to say that was pretty bad i love her voice but she needs to get off that stuff and she will do and awesome come back

  • This is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! And i dont mean that in a good way. Her heart does even seem in it now. It just seems she thinks she can get away with a performance like that just because she is Whitney Houston. Its quite sad actually.

  • lmao at u how wrong u are

  • You're quite sad actually wasting your time putting someone down just to make yourself feel better.

  • SHE IS COMING ALONG WELL

  • QUIT SMOKING MAN.......you will see a huge difference. she coughed 4 times throughout this song....why is she doing this to herself? whitney whitney whitney...QUIT NOW

  • she's still high, isn't she lol...sounds very strange and out of tune

  • this was only 3 months ago, she sounds ok but what the hell happened here in australia she sounds dreadful!

  • @troykm she just had a bad day.Shes not god.she wasnt good in brisbane but shell get better you might just have to catch on tv when it happens

  • That's my point..from any objective point she doesn't have a better voice!

  • To 'floydmatt987' - Let me put it this way. My favorite singer of all time is james Brown, but if i was comparing his voice to Pavarotti, I couldn't say james Brown had a better voice because technically pavarotti does. Same with Whitney and Dolly. Whitney could hit more notes than Dolly, had a much wider range.

  • Well if that is you opinion..it can be ;-) I'm super people agree with you. I don't.

    And generally seen Whitney is considered to have the greatest voice of all time..ofcourse people disagree..but I think Whitney is unmatched..

  • love whitney....

    and so also with this new talent called charice....

    she's like little whitney.

    charice idolizes this icon

    from the very start of her life

    singing her songs....

  • she has got it back, and the more haters talk about it, the more money she gets so....Yeah :)

  • To 'cantbelieveitsnotemo ' - I love Whitney but the fact is she wasn't very good here. She didn't hit any big notes well.

  • Nice Song =)

  • I don't have a link to it, but I will look for and post it on here as soon as I find it. Why are you still saying that Dolly wrote the song? We KNOW she wrote the song. What are you trying to prove by saying that? Once again, no one ever said that Whitney came up with this song, only that she sang it better than the original. And Whitney also sang this song with just as much emotion as Dolly did.

  • @skip0318 Because Dolly never said Whitney sang it better. She did say that she sang it differently, and earned her a lot of money, but never said she sang it better. SOME people think Whitney wrote the song. And I stand by what I said, to me, Dolly sang the song with much more emotion.

  • No one's saying that Dolly can't sing, but I really don't think you people are being fair about this. I mean, come on. It's like saying that Miley Cyrus is better than Micheal Jackson. XD

  • Talk about not respecting other's opinions. I respect that you think Whitney's version is better, if you respect my opinion that Dolly's is better. I think Dolly has much more emotion and tenderness than Whitney does.

  • And Miley is nowhere near Michael or Dolly.

  • It's proven fact that she sang it better because, first of all, not a lot of people even knew about the song until Whitney Houston sang it. Second, if you call yourself a true Dolly fan then you should know that Dolly applauded Whitney for singing this song the way she did, and in fact, said that Whitney's version is better.

  • Again, HOW is it a proven fact?! When did Dolly say Whitney's version is better? I would like a link please.

  • Omg! give me a break you people. We all KNOW that this song is originally Dolly Parton's. No one ever said that Whitney wrote it, came up with the music, or anything! I get so sick and tired of people always bringing up Dolly everytime Whitney performs this song. Once again, we know this is Dolly's song, but it's a proven fact that Whitney sang this song a lot better than she did and even put it on map.

  • 1. Some people do think Whitney wrote it.

    2. How is it a "proven fact" that Whitney sang it better? That will only ever be an opinion.

  • Hehe..wow I actually think she sounds great when she has to sing the parts when she sings very hard! Oh and btw..it's not to say Dolly isn't good but I really hope people are kidding when they say she is better then Whitney..because Whitney is the best ever! And please don't watch at this performance but for example one of 1994...

  • Why do you hope we are kidding when we say we think Dolly is better? Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and a lot of us think Dolly sings it better.

  • Omg, I am a Whitney fan, but she sounds horrible.

  • @DivaMCFan

    O.O oh god what are you listenint to?!

    this is amazing!

  • What? Are you kidding me? She started laughing because she knows she sounds awful, I love Whitney, God knows I do, but she lost, "The VOICE"

  • yes she lost voice, but she isn't horrible! oh camon!!!!

  • I didn't say she's horrible, this performance is.

  • @kOkkaMJ

    she lost her voice bcoz of the removal of the nodules.

  • not bad at all - not the same whitney of yesterdays but at least she is singing live unlike so many these days - who charge a fortune and lip sync. i will be glad to pay to listen to whitney knowing she will be giving her all even though it may not be perfect

  • not quite what she used to be able to do but denfenly the best performce of that song for a long time. Lets hope her voice keeps on improveing.

  • Bollox to the haters, this is fantastic. FULL STOP.

  • Whitney was amazing this night!

  • NO this was amazing and i wont shut up for you or anyone else you hearing me? HATERS JUST GO AWAY

  • Thank you Whitney its Dollys song and Dolly sings it better..Dollys going to the bank and Whitney going to get 2 crack pipes..with Dollys singing and song writting shes worth over $950 million somes Whitney dont write songs like Dolly!!! u might run Dolly down but shes richer!

  • @BLUEOHIO HOW DARE u WHITNEY IS WORTH 1 MILLION TIMES SOME CRAPPY BOG STANDARD COUNTRY N WESTERN SINGER... IF u think dollys better go watch her version and stop badmouthing this tribute to the music industry....how sad are u ... dolly this doll that really who cares about Dolly.... Whitney made this song famous and sings it like an angel

  • I think Whitney is very good at this song, but for me Dolly is incomparable.

  • Who is Incomparable sorry?? hahaha! The song wouldnt even be know outside the USA if not FOr Whitney! It's her song!

  • @jonbob1 Oh sorry, you can't read? Okay, I'll say it again, Dolly is incomparable.

    It's Dolly's song and it will always be. She even said on American Idol that it's her song.
