  • OMG Both the fossil and Whitney sing AWFULLY but he ALWAYS sang horribly bad... What makes me sad is how bad she sang then!!

  • ODDIO sentir "parlare" italiano da Whitney è una cosa ECCEZIONALE *___*

  • -.-'' che figura di merda morandi..... ma va a pija il latte dalla mamma....

  • haters gonna hate always trying to find a flaw in this flawless voice of whitney houstons, not gonna happen so get over it, stop haten so much on her dam get a life go whitney

  • 0:56 - 1:12, that's not even belting. No other female singer has or will ever come close to that power.

  • I can tell her voice was giving her problems here...she cuts all the notes short, and takes them all down, instead of her usual "up" belting. Smart singing, although, it was way too choppy for me. I miss my old Whitney and love when she belted this song live!!!

  • @stevie586 and no she didnt have problems here why would u expect her to sing the song the same everytime thats so boring to me, and she sounds amazing here just cause she dosent sing it in the exact way from the album when she was 20 years old shes 36 here besides whitneys voice improved alot on her 99 eurepean tour it came back. she sings well when she really wants to, just like there is music in you live on rosie 98 even better then the record version

  • @NippyFan100 But, how would you know that? I'm making my comments as a singer with a well-trained ear, and lots of knowledge. Whitney starts off off-key briefly, chops, goes sharp, she gets off tempo, and keeps taking it down. She sang smart, yes, but, her voice is off this day. It has nothing to do with her singing different, or me expecting to hear an album version. Just because she controls her voice well (a good thing) doen't mean it's not acting up this day.

  • @NippyFan100 BTW, her voice did not improve. It was acting up tons in the late 90's, but, that's because of all the nodules she suffered from after Bodyguard. It was still pretty strong and clear up to the mid-2000's though. Sadly, she really didn't have a chance after all the vocal damage, and the surgeries were supposed to have helped, but, seem to have messed her voice up more. Trust, I love & respect Whitney, so, no hate. But, I know what my ear hears...

  • @stevie586 yes her voice did improve her swizerland 99 concert and germany and poland her voice sounded way better then any 98 performances, i have all her world tour from 99 i no what i hear sweety get your facts right and you can go online and read the reviews from that tour they even say the smae thing the writers not gonna lie you know how honest they be thanks go nippy

  • He was not the first one to look embarrassed after trying to play with the fire Whitney is! Mariah did it in the Oscars performance!! xD

  • @karan33774 please! mariah had a bad day. or there was something wrong with that mic. look at the oprah performance.. totally out performed. so stop it.

  • @LILRuthlessplaya88 Please! Stop blaming it on the poor mic!!

  • @karan33774 well explain how she shut whitney down on oprah? hummmmmm exactly.

  • @LILRuthlessplaya88 whitney shut mariah down at the oscars get over it

  • @NippyFan100 but did she on oprah? get over it.....

  • @LILRuthlessplaya88; well if you listen to the performance of When You Believe you hear Whitney's voice the most, everybody thinks they hear Mariah. I have the performance in high quality on my Ipod and Whitney is better. Mariah is great but not as good as Whitney. The only one who comes close to her power is Celine Dion.

  • @LILRuthlessplaya88 yeah she did, and besides whitney tours all the time in the 90s, whitney had a eurepean tour in 98 and recored my love is your love to so please, and mariah never has a long tour in the 90s her longest tour was what 15 shows look it up

  • @NippyFan100 lol she had the charmbraclet world tour with 69 shows?!! so ughh yea get it together. and she has more with more then 15. and no she didnt.

  • @LILRuthlessplaya88 um i said of the 90s and charbracelet was 2003 get it together and you can google mariah tours and it will state who has perfrormed more live shows, celine whitney, mariah in her prime never toured more then 15 20 shows, mostly in japan

  • @LILRuthlessplaya88 she had the charmbracelet tour where she was lipsinching her way through the shows. whitney's first tour she did over 60 dates, the 2nd she did over 150 dates, in 1991 she did a tour with 101 dates, in 1991 she did over 100 dates. the bodyguard tour had like 120 dates, the my love is your love tour was supposed to have 50 dates, they extended it to over 60 dates. the number of mariah's live concerts is not even half of whitney's

  • @karan33774; Oprah too ;-) If you listen very good you can hear that Whitney wins..although it is not a competition but yeah, Whitney won!

  • @DutchHPfan1992 lol wrong again.. majority over rules ur fantisized input. the comments clearly speak for them selves. OVERRULED! mariah WON! i have watched the hd performance. and u can hear mariah. if the video looks that way! how would just audio improve it?! exactly.

  • @LILRuthlessplaya88 mariah didn't win shit. at oprah, mariah's voice was raspy as hell she managed to hit ONE clear note, nothing more! when they both hit that belting note in the bridge, whitney did a 11seconds run in ONE breath. mariah started to belt half way through whitney's run so that's why she was louder, and she didn't even hold that note for more than 3 seconds. mariah is a great singer, but she could never outsing whitney live on stage

  • @MrSoulshock44 god u have such bitterness towards the legendary miss carey. in that performance whit's voice faultered and it sounded raspy? where were ur ears? they both had vocal damage by that time. and at least mariah hit a clear tone note. where was whit's? she was hoping around like a damn crack head, while mariah remained gracious. and when mariah performed she didn't stand. how sad. i love whit, but even the other people knew mariah stole the show!

  • @MrSoulshock44; Glad somebody has ears! You're damn right!

  • gianni morandi, che figura di m.... che hai fatto

  • i feel bad for him. he did have a good voice but when whitney came on he was working with fire. didn't go so well with him. There is nobody like Whitney, especially when it is Whitney's song!!

  • lmao!!! That dude got murdered hahahaha

  • Whitney still sounded beautiful in the late 90's. She had some ups and downs. I know, she'll get this voice back.

  • When whitney sang the first part (0:46 - 1:12) of the song..no one ever had and no one ever will have a powerfull voice like that..that wasn't even belting..it's just unbelievable.

  • No he did not stay quiet till the end, then try and outsing her at the end! Hilarious

  • Whitney: Graduated!

    This host dude: FAIL RECESS!!

  • Hahahaha... he tried.. oh how he tried...

  • what a match haha

  • That host was silly to sign with her as if he could, NOT!

  • @Violative911 lol!

  • that guy's ass was whipped all at once when whitney started to sing! lol

  • I am sorry to anyone who is a fan of his but those days Whitney could have given him such a beating with her voice. He is crazy to sing with such a voice and just did not seem to be prepared.

  • he knows how dumb he looks.

    she was gracious and toned it down so she didn't wipe him out.

  • don't you dare sing duet with whitney if you're no one

    otherwise she'll make you look so ridiculous

  • @king379733 LOL!

  • Lei è schifatissima, sulla chiusura della canzone (2:46) lo guarda come a dire... poretto questo, ma che ce sto a fa' qui, ahhaha...

  • See the duet of pavaroti with gianni morandi. I've never seen WH there. And with drugs everything is possible for WH. The jerks don't understand the diference of performances...

    But look here at youtube for the duet and you'll have another perspective of giannis voice

  • very good!!!!!!!!!

  • This guy stinks big time!!!!! He doesn't belong on the same satge with a talent like Whitney Houston..............What a JOKE he is........

  • bwahahahahaha poor guy

  • Someone should turn his mike off.

  • -.-'' povera whitney ahahahahah :) MORANDIIIIII figura di..... :D fatti mandare dalla...Whitney a prendere lezioni di canto ahahahahahahaha :D

  • She showed that dude how to sing her song! A music lesson.

  • Come umiliare un cantante : Fatelo cantare al fianco della Houston...

  • è terrificante pensare che su youtube questo video viene visto da persone di tutto il mondo.. che imbarazzo....

  • @marckomarckomarcko oddio hai ragione

  • You have to give it to him, his singing Whitney's song and he's a guy.

  • wtf is this guy? He humiliated himself. poor guy.

  • i love how at 1:43 he tries to belt and you can't even hear it

  • @agood09 That actually came out pretty good..

  • Comment removed

  • he a hot mess

    

  • Message from this video you can never out sing the voice loooool

  • 2;25 he just look like oh dear , My mama please for give me, i can not handle it, ;)

  • First she completely destroys him until 1:25 and then she hugs him "no hard feelings".

  • I don't Think whitney Should have went easy on him . He knew what he was getting his self into.

  • wow!, on this presentation you can see the diference between whitney and whatever person who sing on a shower or a karaoke! XD... the voice of whitney was very well this night, even do.. singing because speaking you can see the deep of the voice was getting... whitney houston.. one of the best, really best singers ever.. we hope she could at least reach this level now..! i admire you whitney.. good luck

  • Gianni....ma tutto apposto  ??? o___O

  • oh poor guy!! i feel for him.

  • HAHA You Can't Sing On Stage With The Queen Lmao!!!

  • @whitwhit1fan haha that goes for everyone whitney is at the very very top

  • che figura da c... per gianni morandi!!! non poteva prendere qualcuno che non fosse infinitamente più bravo di lui...?!?!

  • That god-awful wig (from the Heartbreak Hotel video) actually looked GREAT here, after Ellen (I guess) chopped it up a little. It was a precursor to the black bob she wore for the tour. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Whitney w/the lighter colored hair. It makes her look younger than black hair does.

  • mamma gianni che pessima performance ... poi in inglese proprio no !

  • Mz. Whitney was giving some "punches" of notes! I loved it! I like Gianni Morandi's voice. It's quite soulful!

  • OMG, how embarrasing for him. Whitney sang him off the stage. He is a brave man......LOL

  • duetto.... ?ha cantato solo whitney....gianni neanche sa cosa fare... forse non ricorda le parole? non ricorda quando intervenire?... ciò che è certo guardando questo video è che ... non ricorda!!! :-)... ma va bene cosi :-)

  • Povero Gianni Morandi. Già di per se, è uno dei piu grossi pakki ke la musica italiana abbia mai avuto. Un pò lo metti al confronto di un mito...ne esci veramente male ahaha.

  • COITADINHO PEDALA KKKKKKKKKK NAO SERVE PRA CHEGAR NOS PèS DE WHITNEY HOUSTON O INGLES DELE è HORRIVEL KKKKKKKKKKK 10 PRA WHITNEY, 0 PRO MORANDI.

  • I like how she skipped a lot of the belts.

  • ..poor man..he's nothing next to Whitney..She destroys him..I love her..

  • I dont care what anyone says. I love her voice. I wish she would come back to us.

  • e' impazzito  Morandi?????????

  • this man is lame...

    bit i love Whitney

  • Olasz? Simán!!!! Ági Gátiné

  • isteni

  • Tök jóóóóóóóóó ez a szám, 1000 éve imádom, a csaj számait!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This guy looks so pathetic next to x diva Whitney

  • i know.. i feel the sorrow and pain too.. trust me .. but the pain goes away and joy cometh in the morning thus saith the Lord

  • she is the most idolize female singer in the history of music by male and female so people dont ever freakin forget that ever. and she can still out sing any of these so called singer and she had a drug problem for years but you would have never known the way she sing.

  • Whitney destroyed him!!! ;)

  • Listen, unfortunately I have to agree with most of the comments here, Gianni Morandi was not in his finest form here which is sad because if anyone actually listens to his early songs when he started his voice and singing range could not be matched. I guess this it's a true test of old age kicking in, I'm still glad Gianni is performing these days though, it's great to still have a legend like him around.

  • only the best voices in the world should be on stage with her!

  • ........Now you know he needs an ass whippen! Getting on stage with that woman and just tipping his head from side to side.... seriously...

    WTF was he thinking!

  • All he sings is "All at once....."

  • jajja pobre chico!! Whitney se lo come facilmente. Hasta ya ni quiere cantar el otro,, qué pena. Se siente chiquitito frente a Whit,, oops jijiji

  • He is shit? Who is is?

  • Gianni Morandi  Dalban élek

  • Lol, Whitney is a lot taller than him (of course with heels but every female celeb wears them), her voice here is unmatchable (though it doesn't have breathtaking falsetto like the 80s anymore) compare to another performance that she did after 1999.

  • way past her prime here .she couldn't sustain anymore - her bell like tone was gone - and the she tended now to speak some of the notes. You notice the abundance of runs there It's a way of compensating for the inability to hold a phrase or sing and sustain each note [usualy those notes at the top end of the voice] But enjoy her memory

  • yeah but her voice sounds deeper and stronger than when she was younger. i like both though

  • I agree..her voice changed here..but it's because she got older! I know exactly what you mean! I love both too..it's normal her voice changed over the years and believe me..she still was the voice here! Now..she needs to recover but she will get there!

  • She destroyed him! Haha, sorry man!

  • her voice here was really good, i mean this was the period when her voice was on its downfall!

    i wish she could still sing like this...she's still good but not even close to this...

  • LMAO did she forget she was doin a duet . . . i mean damn

  • she blew that nigga out the fukkin waterrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....lol

  • Haha ofcourse Whitney overpowers him but she would overpower anyone..the host actually can sing very good in my opinion.

    Whitney..great performance!!

    Which year was this?

  • It was like throwing the Zebra in the lions den!! It was over before it started!

  • mamma Morandi....

  • terribile gianni morandi...

  • morandi presentava o cantava? senza togliere nulla a morandi e a quel che rappresenta ma davanti a lei, nel palco, non esiste.

  • What year was this?

  • @daviddowntown77 maybe 1999.

  • He never had a chance.

  • i wish he would of tried a bit more, he has a nice voice... but geez Whitney! she takes no prisoners!

  • can youtell me the date of this video or program ??

  • That prick ruined the performance.

  • poor him !!! I don't have any idea who he is, but : lol !!!

  • ok è morandi...però...SCOMPARE davanti a whitney houston...c'è era meglio se la faceva cantare a lei e basta...

  • a huge difference between them.

  • Leave it to whitney. Ditto.

  • omfg how baddd was that guy haha im glad whitney so dang over him with some power n control unlike him lol

  • What is going on in this video....?!

    She sounds great here though!

  • whitney! diva! :D

  • LMAO she sang over him the entire time!

  • lol at him trying to get a yell iin

  • Is that guy ok?

    He acts strange..........wierd, I mean......but his voice is really powerful.

  • Whitney has an AMAZING voice!

  • Con tutto il rispetto x Morandi,ma soccombe di fronte ad un colosso come la Houston.Avrebbe fatto meglio a presentarla facendola subito dopo cantare da sola,xchè il nosto concittadino non dispone di voce all'altezza di quella della regina delle voci.Certo adesso, dopo le droghe, è cambiata,ma a quei tempi lei deteneva lo "scettro" di regina delle belle ed iper-estese voci

  • i always liked her voice even if i didnt like the song.the sheer dynamic range brings a tear to the eye.

  • Spettacolo

  • anche io voglio cantare con la houston!!!

  • whitney owned it from the second she walked out...he should have just sat down on the end of the stage or something

    and she looks radiantly beautiful

  • she was absolutely beautiful...and from the moment she walked out on stage

    ..it was all hers

  • ma che c entra gianni morandi?!?! che brutta figura ci ha fatto fare cn MISS HOUSTON!!! MAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

  • He voice sounds so healthy & effortless here. What's up with the dude, though?

  • Whitney's voice was still great up until the late 90's. Take this performance for instance. The bass and power of Whitney's voice was too tough for even a baritone male singer to handle. And she was taking it easy on him. WOW!

  • her voice is still great...she's just out of practice..and even at her worst she tops anyone else out there

  • WOW!! when she walked out...you can see Dionne Warwick all over again...U can tell there cousins...

  • gianni ce sfigura parecchio è ! grande comunque

  • Whitney THE BEST :-)

  • her voice is SO powerful here!

  • ahahha ma lui ke muove la bocca a caso?? ahah

  • Compare this to the 1987-performance with Diana Ross presenting..its so sad to see

  • sad? her voice was still great in 1998/1999, i think it's not sad AT ALL

  • What 1987 performance? American Music Awards? Did Diana introduce her?

  • bellissima interpretazione di whitney, mentre morandi non si poteva sentire! avrei pagato per farlo stare zitto! divina whitney! di che anno è questa esibizione?

  • CTFU @ PrettyWings00

  • I think Whitney can still sing like this! She can do it!!!

  • Hearing her sing this song 15 years after she first released it - and in the original key no less - almost sounds as though time stood still. I don't love all her ad libs here but the power in her voice is undeniable and so beautiful to hear. Oh yes, and the host added a cute dynamic to the performance.

  • He's a famous 60s-70s italian singer, Gianni Morandi. He was hosting that show...what a shame, I'm italian!!! I'm sorry with everybody for this product of italian music factory!

  • Please don't put him down he is doing the best he can. Why just say noithing before you hurt people? You reap what you sow perhaps somebody is gonna hurt your feelings.

  • he should have sat the hell down

  • whitney literally killed the host LOL

  • this really is just a performance by whitney fantastic one at that, but that is not a duet per say!

  • what a shame, that man does not have the range for the song... maybe tevin campbell, or Jesse Powell should have sung it with Whitney Houston.

  • please...stop saying bad things about gianni morandi!

    surely he doesn't have a great voice, but he's a great artist, he wrote such beautiful songs and he deserves respect.

    and i also admire his humility...he perfectly knows he's not good like her...it seems like he's thinking: "well...i have to sing it because it's written on the script, but i'm just covering the beautiful sound of her voice!"

  • I agree..........

  • Ma che schifo Gianni! Whitney grandissima!

  • Is this supposed to be serious? He has such a weak voice!

  • its the spanish ...theyre a bit behind!

  • que mal canta el presentador

  • Funny that we all know this video is from the late 90s, but it LOOKS like it was filmed in the 1970s!

  • its just for fun....hes not meant to be good .

  • diciamo anche che Whitney Houston non è molto gentile con gli artisti con cui duetta... tende sempre un pò a prevaricare e ad annullare gli altri

  • When is this from? She sings him off the stage - he appears to give up about halfway through!

  • Praticamente ha cantato solo la regina delle voci,vale a dire Whitney

  • he is so badddd

  • Whitney's the queen of duets. The poor man. LOL

  • GIanni Morandi umiliato :hoho

    Alla fine persino rinuncia a cantare :hoho

    Non ho mai visto niente di piu mortificante nella mia vita nella storia dei duetti :hoho

    Morandi Morandi...grande rispetto per te e per le tue canzoni ma non è cazzo tuo cantare con lei :hohoh

  • At 1:20, after Whitney belted, he knew that he didn't stand the chance

  • Omg. The guy never had a chance and he knew it.

  • I know right!! Crack just burnt her throat up..That girl had a voice from God..she just burnt it up like firewood..

  • I'm glad that's all behind her and she is moving on.

  • that guy has issues!

  • You can tell her and Dionne Warwick are cousins..she came out looking just like her..

  • That's probably where she got her crack habit from too.

  • OMG, He knew he was being completely oversung by Whitney and what else he could do but smile and let her sing. What he expected. Whitney is the VOICE and needed somebody at her level.

  • I agree with you. He's pretty bold thought. He got on the same stage with "The Voice".
