Whitney Houston - Tomorrow (Live 1983)

[2singitlive]

isn't this 1985

[fiveinslide6]

Today at her funeral, the Winans tried to sell their own song called "Tomorrow" as the song Whitney was singing in 1983. tsk tsk tsk. This video proves that it was this popular "Annie" song instead. How slimy! They should know better. It's just way too easy to look stuff up like this. Spread the word! Expose liars!! Whitney wasn't a liar. She was the real deal.

[MzRoulette91]

@fiveinslide6 Annie's "Tomorrow" song and the song "Tomorrow" by the Winans brothers are two different songs lol..

[fiveinslide6]

@MzRoulette91 I know. One of the Winans told a story at the funeral saying that Whitney was singing THEIR song. Then they sang their song at the funeral, but this video shows he was probably lying to sell his own song. Whitney was singing Annie's song; not the Winan's song.

[MzRoulette91]

@fiveinslide6 Ahh i see what u mean.. koolio. =]

[remixedv]

First time hearing this song. Beautiful.

[moaynay]

:( Singing in the choir with the angels now

[36tookie]

This is the clip where Clive Davis discovered her RIParadise Whitney we will always love u

[furzkram]

Too sad - she'll never come back, as we learned from todays news.

R.I.P., Whitney.

[ForeverComplaining]

*wow*

and wth? she doesn't sound like Aretha, she sounds waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

Whitney is number one singer of all time.

[ERIC60686]

oh whitney so so very nice i love you

[MrDTJones1]

thanks for sharing. and it is good...pitchy but good...she is so young here. and God bless Cissy Houston...a mother and mentor how taught her lovely daughter...and stood by her through it all. i am grateful to God for both of these women...and he voices they were given.

[rashad1977]

WHITNEY IS AND FOREVER WILL BE IN A CLASS OF HER ON! JUST WHITNEY

[MrTre5670]

@lasbeaver amen

[adelgado75]

Her mother Cissy did a better version of this song. I have it on 45 vinyl. This version sucks.

[theoneandonly2503]

If I'm not mistaken this was filmed in 1984 at Arista Anniversary, the same day she sang I Am Changing.

[Neno8403]

@theoneandonly2503 You're correct. This was from Arista's 10 year Anniversary celebration in 1984.

[Edhinio]

didn't she sing 'I Wanna Be Where You Are' from the Jacksons Five at this event?

[TheLanard]

@Edhinio Yse, she did. I wish they'd put this whole night on DVD!!!

[nia39]

love whitney

[rmbb10]

She betta sang.

[PreciousMariah22]

how old is she here?

[ICANDIGUOUT]

20...born in '63

[stuyone]

This performance was "pitchy" as Randy Jackson would say.

[mcpsp12]

LOL,she was oversinging...if only she could oversing today!!!!!!!

[kmaur21]

@stuyone  She sounds like Chrystal Rucker with those head notes, only she can do that besides Whitney!

[dagll]

@stuyone

Yh it was.. I think didn't have as much control over her voice as she did later of course.. coz Whit has never had any intonation problems.

It is great to see some early vids of her.. she even had the confidence n stage presence there - always a star !

[ComoLaFlorr]

can someone make instrumental of this version i love it so much

[BradleyJ18]

@ Lornada...God Can take away the gift that he gave to someone. You Should use your gift to Glorify God. (Especially when it comes to Singing).

[LANORDA9]

Lol. Enough of the God crap. I really wish people would stop acting like they know what God is doing or thinking. lol. It wouldn't make sense for God to take away something that can heal and teach. Life is a journey and we are only human. We fall and we choose to get back up. She chose to get back up and that has the power to inspire millions. For all we know....that may be her true purpose. If you believe that there is no God in that....then your God must be an ass. Christina is a joke.

[pannoni1]

For those of you that still follow Aretha Franklin, a recent review from a Boston concert in The Globe called her voice a mezzo-soprano, with less power but still a lot of energy; I still feels without her problems Whitney is continued to be destined to go the Aretha route. This concert by Auntie Ree was the same day Whitney performed X Factor. One thing that has limited Ree's full potential is her aerophobia; thus limiting her performances to North America. And this was actually December 1984.

[greeklawyer2002]

So much different from the original or Barbra's interpretation.

[pannoni1]

Actually, this was December 1984. I miss the days when Whitney was a Soprano. She's now a full-blown Contralto (Her highest note was C#5 on the I Look To You album from what we've heard so far!)

[kalmstorm81]

ok a contalto is a woman who vocal timbre is like that of a man but has the range of a female i.e. tony braxton, anita baker... whitney is a traditoanl alto as this point

[kmaur21]

Whitney is a soprano will always be a soprano. She is finding her way now.

[TBon3Supl3x]

That's also not true, a contralto is simply the accurate term for a woman of the lowest female vocal tessitura. Alto is just a diminutive of the term Contralto. Whitney's still a mezzo-soprano as with the fact that her tessitura sits where a mezzo's would although she can now sing lower than most mezzo-sopranos, alto's, tenors, and a few baritones I'd imagine (check the videos she's sang as low as an A2 at times) but is still a mezzo soprano none the less.

[TBon3Supl3x]

She's still a mezzo-soprano, your range alone does not determine your vocal ability. On the CD she sings several E's and 1 F5 in head voice and belts an E5 in Nothing But Love although it's somewhat weak. She was never really a fully soprano she was just able to fake being a soprano back when she had full use of her range, her timbre was always closest to a mezzo though now it's fully a mezzo to say the least.

[kmaur21]

Please Whitney was always a powerful soprano never a mezzo. She is a soprano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ktshifunda]

@kmaur21 You better know your music... Thanks for sharing.

[kmaur21]

Whitney is nobody's alto, mezzo, or contralto. Whitney stated years ago she was a soprano and a high one at that. She now a dramatic soprano. Her voice is very heavy now, but she still can sound light and agile. Calling you Tonight on the CD is example, she sounds like the Preacher's Wife era there. Plus her background vocals are still high soprano on the CD.........................

[fireandicecube]

Why wasnt she discovered earlier!! lt took til 1985!! She even sung this song better than everyone else!!

[MisterMarilyn]

she was very young and enthusiastic and excited and EAGER to PERFORM and show what she could do thass all!!Plus,it sounds a bit 'funny' because there aren't enough musicians behind her to give support and setting for her instrument!!I think it's endearing (an it certainly worked...the REASON that she was doing this P.A for!!) too,so she should worry,LoL!!

[popups46okay]

Her voice is too big for this song.

[starstruckidd]

i think it sounds good though

[popups46okay]

I agree

It's just that, I think, she should've done it with lower note and in a softer way.

I love her always, but when a song is too easy for a singer like her with a strong gigantic voice, sometimes it hurts to the ear.

But it's only to me so it doesn't really even matter.

[mcpsp12]

True,that's where Mariah comes in....LOL Whitney may have that powerful vocal,but Mariah has that softer vocal but Mariah is nothing to sleep on....she has the pipes

[kmaur21]

It is though!

[TheMissLeanne]

wow.... shes gotten so much better. I love things like this... seeing where they came from. Whitney is the girl!!

[ComoLaFlorr]

woww amazingg

[nippyme]

my baby was always GREAT. new album in stores 1st September. YAYYYYYYY :-)

[mkeym]

FANTASTIC. And I don't agree that she sounds like Aretha Franklin. That's what I've always liked about Whitney - she's always had her OWN voice!

[kmaur21]

Hell no! Whitney has a very unique crystal clear high soprano voice in her prime with unlimited range and power. Whitney in this era would put any singer to shame.

[allile77]

WOW.. somehow each song she sings she makes her own and just nails it everytime... pure talent!

[islandlife89]

whitney is killin it ,sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[justdavon]

Simply beautiful!

[erotica008]

she sang some others that night,who got the video of the whole concert?

i am really into it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[MikeMiller]

I think she just killed little Orphan Annie

[tnhmike]

To have been there! Wow. You just know she's a born star.

[pannoni1]

Roll over Diana Ross!

[kmaur21]

Whitney voice is not human right here.  She is a vocal beast!

[highnote32]

She was young then.

[kco507]

its so not ! ! !

it should not be humanly possible to sing this good! omg.

[siempre2904]

but if it wasn't humanly possibly then whitney housto nwould exist :P

[latrelle2004]

[WH012]

[mashan0]
