I think her voice would have also been on better shape if she would have taken better care of it while touring. Day after day week after week and year after year ( during the bodyguard your). When you don't take care of your body property it naturally gives out smoking only makes things worst .
We very mean spirited people....we show more love for the deads....RIP whitney....I hope we had shown more love to you before as we are doing right now. I am sorry. Love you
@zenayonce How true and that's the true tragedy, I pray that ppl learn a lesson from this. Turely hope she is in a better place and can one day get a chance to know that she is loved by MANY, more than was showed unfortunately.
I swear I've fallen in love with Whitney all over again since her death. We truly lost the "greatest singer" of all time. I appreciate, honor, acknowledge and respect what I was privileged to grow up with! Thank you, Whitney for being a positive role model for me and for all the memories you gave me and my family. I'll love you eternally and your music will live on within me and all the people who grew to love you. RIP sweetheart.
In order to keep this voice in stellar condition, in my opinion, there would be minimal talking, performances only every 2 days, and no alcohol or any substances at all. She would have to live like a monk.
Whitney had such a PRETTY voice, especially during the breakdown near the end of the performance. i feel insulted by the current musical landscape after hearing this.
mind blowing performance...tell me.. who does that in today's music? just sing &have your performance be all about your vocals? I loooove her phrasing - the lyrics just sound so clear, hard to do when you're trying to maintain good control - Her clean, thin and crisp pitch - omg at her prime with her voice intact, she was unstoppable. I've always loved her live performances more than studio version..On stage,her passion and interpretation of the song comes thru so well.Irreplaceable Dear Whitney
Singing with the angels now, Whitney...where the demons can't reach you. RIP. 100 years from now, if they wonder what was the fuss, they can listen to this and understand...not with ears but with the gut. Pure beauty, pure emotion.
She goes up another level after that sax solo. Just a powerhouse. We've lost a singer thats definitely one of the legends. Everyone is realizing this more so now that she's gone.
Whitney - You were a beautiful soul and your voice; your songs are forever part of our hearts....Your voice and songs will never be duplicated. Sweet sweet angel...RIP
Watching this hits home to what a powerful singer she was and what a great loss this is. We really have lost one of , if not, the greatest ever. Whitney Houston. RIP.
let me tell you what i MISS so much about female singers back then.....this new crop of wannabe's erk the shit outta me...look how Whitney Stood There and jus SUNG!!!...she didnt have to damn near strip to her panties to sell the song....it was about her VOCALS....she didnt have to claim her power as a woman by selling sex....ppl who have the talent like lets say Christina Aguilera really upset me..cuz vocally she has the gift...but relies on other things like tits and ass to sell records SMH!!
@troynellsantana Christina doesn't sell records anymore so maybe she should go back to her voice. Looking like Snooki does NOTHING for her. Hell, Britney has bigger hits than X-Tina, and she lip-syncs everything.
@troynellsantana I agree with you! New singers don't know how to execute this kind of style in their performances. She was so classy and elegant, & graceful.
And it was always about the VOICE and the message in that voice!!
She sounded great in rehearsal as well, but when it came time for the cameras to start a rollin, everything just locked in TIGHT. This performance is IT for me, her voice is so ripe and rich like it was when she sang the SPB. The VOICE was untouchable at this point and she KNEW it, she knew its peaks and valleys, all of its turns and twists and capability in MAXIMUM totality, she was even learning to make ART with it...which she did here.
@ManOfBamboo It's hard to say, even in her later years her voice in it's damaged state always seemed to present a quality not quite heard before in a previous time. Just the beauty of the instrument could take even its roughest qualities and imbue them with a largeness that a lesser voice could not give, as though no ugliness could fully hide her great gift. If I had to choose though I'd say around 94-95. It matured and she still had lots of range and power.
I love to hear people who are truly unbaised and have musical enlightment! She is incomparable! - Many of you may not know but I offically have coin the phrase for whitney fans, people who appreciate her contibution to music or just her lengendary status as The "Voices". Simply because she is the "VOICE". So i applaud you all for outstanding comments without comparing any other artists.
This blew me away! No-one in the charts nowadays can execute a perfomance like this so effortlessly while displaying so much passion! untouchable whitney!
best singer ever. does anyone even sing live today? maybe gaga. i want a whitney and gaga duet. bring it on! love you whitney. you gave good love and good songs and voice...and we love you for it!
Whitney is one of the few singers who can bring out the drag queen in me. Towards the end I was like, "YOU BETTA SANG BITCH!!!!!! SAAAAANG HEIFAH!!!!"
IMO, the Best singer that my hears ever listen to.....This is my girl, no matter what....I can remember when she first came out, it took me a minute to like her eventhough, I liker her music....it wuz all about Michael Jackson then, lol...But I always said she had a great voice since I first heard her sing, but I really became a fan during the second album, although I loved her first album n 2 dis date my favorite song by her is You Give Good Love.
Great performance. I could tell though, she had a wicked sore throat in this performance, compared to Arsenio's and Jay Leno's performances. Could have had a bad cold or something.
