  • WHITNEY IS TRULY THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD

  • she s boombastik !! real real voice ....! ....real expression of the feelings .... she sung with all her heart ...,trust me ...!

  • SUCH A POWERFUL VERSION.

    Whitney's voice WAS PERFECT.

  • this is truly a very touching performance! so beautiful!!!........

  • she makes me cry every every every time...whitney, your voice is my reason of life!!!

  • I get it.She WAS the best but it is definately over.She'll never sound like this again. Those tones and precision notes will never happen again.It doesnt matter if she isn't perfect.we know that. I was making the point..that u can do things that can never be repaired. I'm not paying for a ticket if it doesn't sound like this again. There's other charities to give too.Sorry. I miss it, too. thats why im listening,now!LOL. U have to respect the gift..forever.Its sad.Get ur kid off the drugs.Wit

  • STILL ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS IN THE WORLD TODAY!! MS. WHITNEY HOUSTON!

  • at 0:18 from 94 or whatever year that pic looks great .

  • SIE IST UND BLEIBT DIE BESTE !

  • Whitney is the EPITOME of an other-worldly talented individual who also has that "X-factor". CeCe is a good singer, but has little star quality. What Whitney did w/this performance was take this song out of the "church" and send it all the way to the "heavens".

  • MIss this voice.A gift that was given away for DRUGS!How did you need more than the love that was given to you by the stage and appreciation for your talent.You could have kept this gift but you chose Bobby Brown's f'd up world!Why?It's too late, now.Just live off the money that you earned.Be a mother and give your passion to your child!

  • @wonder28980 SHE JUST LIVED HER LIFE THE BEST WAY SHE COULD. NO ONE IS PERFECT. SHE TRIED TO BE A GOOD WIFE TO AN ASSHOLE WHO VERBALLY AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSED HER. I THINK THAT IS THE REAL REASON BEHIND HER DRUG USE. NOT AN EXCUSE AND I AM SADDENED BY WHAT SHE DID BUT I STILL HAVE MAD LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THIS WOMAN. AND DRUGS WERE NOT THE ONLY FACTOR FOR HER VOCAL ISSUES. SHE SMOKED CIGS FOR MANY YEARS AND DURING THE BODYGUARD TOURS HER DOCS TOLD HER TO STOP SING SO MUCH AND SHE DID NOT!

  • LISTEN TO THEM. SHE OVERSANG WITH NODULES! BUT EVEN THOUGH SHE CANT SING LIKE SHE DID 20 YEARS AGO SHE CAN STILL OUTSING MOST FEMALE SO CALLED SINGERS TODAY AND HER STAGE PRESENCE ALONE IS IN A LEAGUE OF HER OWN. SHE CAN WALK ONTO ANY STAGE DOES NOT EVEN NEED TO BE MUSIC RELATED AND GET A STANDING OVATION. NOW THAT IS A LEGEND AND NONE OF HER DRUG USE WILL EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HER. LIKE SIMON COWELL SAID SHE STILL HAS "IT" AND WILL AWAYS BE A LEGEND AND AN ICON. GOD BLESS WHITNEY.

  • Im still cryin for you. because you didnt take care of yourself.Could have gone even longer.How ironic. take the money thats left and get yourself sober! start over for real.WE love you whitney!

  • i prefer Whitney Houston's version because she sings on stage : not a simple song in a studio... what a voice, what a performance, impossible to sing like that....i miss this Whitney

  • I prefer Cece's version. However, Whitney did an awesome job!

  • Thank God recordings of such performances such as these exist to remind the doubters of Whitney's greatness. Whitney Elizabeth Houston is arguably the most talented singer in recorded history.

  • nice video!

  • i love this song for luis chincilla

  • i love this song

  • I like cece's version better but thats just me i like whitneys version too there aint no doubtn they both have amazing voices in their own right. As for whos better than who does ti really matter. I think your blessed to have such great talent in your country.

  • the malisma she does on the last 'Me' is the EXACT same pattern as she does on a performance of 'I will always love you'! still perfect though, unbelieveably!

  • @reaceness Yea you're right but I don't mind it though. She could do that in every song and it would sound great! haha

  • @bmwboi88 yea it is really beautiful ^^

  • love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­u, whitneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyy

  • Sing !

  • It seems to me that even if she wasn't a drug addict her voice would have eventually failed cause she belts too hard and forces a lot. Very harsh on the vocal chords.

  • @SpazChat true, and yet if you listen too ann nesby you'll see that she she still got it. I know, it's unfair, but her voice gets even better with years; It seems like it kepps on maturing indefinately

  • None of that stuff ever would have happened to her if she hadn't have shacked up with that LOSER Bobby Brown.

  • @Neno8403: I just realized that there were and are alot of people jealous of WH and they were always hoping she would fall. Some people couldn't stand when she was at the top of her game.....she was the voice of a generation. Many people hated her success and had the knives in their hand behind their backs while smiling in her face. Some people everytime her name is brought up will dwell on the neg in her life....but i say no matter what she is still loved by GOD. All you haters can...LOL !

  • @READY4REVELATION Very well said. A legend is a legend and has nothing else to prove.

  • i love this woman and she, and she makes me holler, without fail.

  • i hate when people compare people like cece and whitney-who did the better version so on...there voices are both phenomenal i personally don't like whitneys version but still song well!!!

  • i hate when people compare people like cece and whitney-who did the better version so on...there voices are both phenomenal

  • SIMPLY THE BEST

  • whitney did a great job here

  • BeeBee Winans, who wrote this song and performed it live at CeeCee's tribute,  version is the one I like best.

  • The best , beautiful and very good girl,but husband destroy all wot she build for years ,but she is pop Queen forever.Love you Whitney and G-d bless you

  • @lahor1589 Don't be fooled, Whitney was like she was BEFORE she met Bobby Brown. It only came to light after he showed up.

  • Don't give up bcus u hv soo much inspiration to share - prayers 2 U Miss Whitney

  • why should you guys keep comparing people,CECE IS CECE AND CAN NEVER BE WHITNEY AND VICE VERSA.WE ALL ARE GIFTED IN OUR OWN UNIQUE.I LOVE THEM BOTH COS THEY DO WHAT THEY DO AT THEIR BEST.GOD BLESS YOU ALL.LET US STOP THE STRIFE AND REALISE WE ARE A PART OF EACH OTHER

  • @2daughterofzion ***Did you loose your mountain top ? *** WE ARE THE UNIVERSE,and the universe is us.

  • There r singers & there r voices. Signature voices transcend the noise of life while enrapturing the souls of those w/in earshot. Voice’s effortlessly filling rooms, halls & speakers, w/ an ease & grace that leave u in awe, inspired by their performance. Whitney through her art, is simply one the great communicators; , through song,she has the ability to touch people in a way they want to be touched, and in so doing has the power to inspire and renew that which may have gone wanting.

  • One of the greatest voices of all time....and what a beauty...

  • saaaaaannnggg Whitney!!!!

  • Oh my God that "me" at 3.34 !!

  • How can you people be so cruel and unforgiving? She created her legacy a long time ago. Nothing will ever change that. If we all focused on our own issues we probably would not have time to tear other human beings down. She is and always will be a voice for celebrating. People struggle in life, and that includes all of us. If God grants us forgiveness , we should certainly grant it to each other.

  • withney you are a god gift and no matter what you go through in life you are destin to do god work i love every thing you produce because it is from the heart and every human only have one that they can tell about i have broken and reshape like you i admire you JSRM i love your spirit always be strong my sister you are truly one of the best may god keep his promised with you what ever it is no one will know

  • cece winas is a real godd singer but i prefer whitney's version : but Whitney version is the one, she's so better than cece.

  • So Beautiful! I Love Whitney Houston and she is truly the best!

    Thanks for posting this lovely video.

    NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • THE BEST FEMALE VOICE THIS WORLD HAS EVER HEARD..

  • DIVA+++++++++++DIVA+++++++++++­+DIVA++++++++++++

  • Beautiful! No one can get with cece but whitney. But with this song im gonna have to go with Cece.

  • This song really hits you in your soul. I luv it sooooo much

  • My Diva!!!

  • omg....how beautiful...i wonder of bobbi christina is as talented as mommy and daddy?

  • Awesome!

  • Where was this song from? I believe it's not one of her album tracks.

  • @corrazy 1994 Commitment for Life AIDS Benefit

  • i still love here u will be on top again

  • When I hear this I always cry! I know she doesn't do funerals but this would have been perfect for Michaels funeral

  • @NippyFan4ever Yes, It would of been. I cried through the whole thing. LONG LIVE WHITNEY* You are the gift of song* and I will listen and love whatever you have to say* I am your fan 100%* No one makes that decision* It's sad you see ppl always comparing, can we just enjoy and listen, be appreciative, we a bless with them in our lives.

    RIP Michael Joseph Jackson* You were loved, here and above*

    1Love

  • where did u get this audio file? lol please let me know!!

  • This is when Whitney was on top.

  • i like the imperfections in her voice. she's lived hard and her voice is reflecting that.

  • Wow!!!! is all I can say. She is the best live performer ever. She doesn't even need to record this in a studio. Just release it. Perfection! Very touching and strong voice. Everything about this performance is perfect!!! SMH. this was crazy good!

  • This has to be played at my funeral!!!!!

  • This song is amazing. Has she sang it since her wonderful comeback? I think she should just to let others know how strong she is and not to cry for her.

  • that's a good song to play on my funeral haha

  • i've look for this entire recording forever, thanks so much for blessing us all with the upload.

  • This song makes me cry everytime i hear it because it reminds me of my mommy i love you mommy rest in peace !

  • This song is is for my mommy rip !

  • I cry every time I hear that song

    

  • oh my GOD, what a voice, she was the best, ho yes really: she's not joking when she sings

  • She is THE voice, i saw her in the o2 and she wasnt much different from this if im honest, i love her and i carry on supporting her and she has inspired me to sing :) x

  • This song sends waves of chills over me....how absolutely beautiful. When was this recorded?....not that it matters, its a masterpiece....and a classic. My prayers go with Ms. Houston to continue progress in her life.

  • Played this at my grandfather's funeral '94, uncle '07 & grandmother '08. Used to listen to this song well before the passing of my family members over and over and over, but now it's even more special when I hear it.... AND... to find this version done by Miss Whitney Houston.... well who could ask for anything more!

  • this song has to be played at my funeral!!!!!

  • When was this performed? If it's recent, she's getting her voice back!

  • @BigBlackBare This was from 1994, dear. Nowhere near recent.

  • Whitney is simply a beast with any song she is given. Always loved this woman, always will. Hoping she comes back bigger and stronger than ever. Just simply awesome.

  • I cry everytime I hear this version-the emotions are so raw and powerful and I miss my dad who died of cancer in 2002. I wish i could tell him how much i loved him. And Nippy you are the best singer in my humble opinion-no one has ever come close to you. God bless you and I am sure you will come back even better.

  • Whitney Houston is the best singer and performer in the world. This song is a perfect example of why she is number 1

  • NOBODY , NO OTHER SINGER SING BETTER THAN WHITNEY HOUSTON++++++++++SHE IS THE BEST OF ALL TIME...SHE IS BIGGEST DIVA...SHE IS TRULLY PERFECTION......MY GOD....EVERY TIME I LISTEN HER I CRY +++++++++++THROUGHT HAPPINESS+++++++++++++++STAY WHIT US+++++++NUMBER 1 ON EARTH++++++++++++

  • she should have recorded this song during her prime. What an amazing song befitting one of the most amazing voices ever.

  • love her

  • I WILL ALWAYS LOVE WHITNEY!!

  • my love i love you

  • Nice version but Cece Winans version is the one I want sung or played at my funeral. This song says it all about dying and passing over. Cry when you are born, Rejoice when you die.

  • Cece could NEVER do this with this song!!

  • She is and will always be....THE VOICE!

  • WHITNEY WORLDWIDE+++++5 STARS+++++

  • BAP1961 is a jackass, who obviously can't accept the fact that different people have different tastes. BAP obviously thinks his opinion is the only one that matters....hmmmm could he be a republican?

  • ahhh how funny Loser SINCE I have never Voted in my life.....I coud care less about who's in the white house cause when they F**k up I can say well I didnt for for them.....But sounds like u area BIG Repulbilcan

  • Cece has said herself that the only person who could sing her songs better than her was Whitney... FACT! She knows whit is good. But Cece can def hang in whitney's league.. Both extremely talented.

  • Whitney's version on the other hand is something i can relate to more since it is very human; she starts calm, much like Cece's version, but breaks down in the end because it's not that easy accepting the fact that you're gonna die. Her version touches my soul the more, even with all the strained and broken notes at the end - for what that do those matter when in the end you actually feel something? I've got to admit, when I heard nippy's version, I cried. A little.

  • The two different versions tell different stories. Cece's calm and collected version tells of someone who has already accepted death, and therefore there is no need to be too emotional - hence, the lack of runs and riffs which others think make her version boring.

  • when i die, this is my song by my girl...

  • For an old fart you really come off as a 7 year old lmao...And Whitney Houston is THE Greatest singer of all-time...so she can sing anyones song and make it hers ...coz she is the golden voice of our time whether you like it or not. Btw I''m 20 & am years maturer then your sorry ass will ever be.

  • LOL This comment coming from some who is a Fan of Adam Lambert the Flaming Queen...yeah your Mature if you are listing to this QUEEN...ROFLMAO

  • Adam can SAAANG just like Queen Whitney so if it makes him a Queen coz he can who are you to deny his amazing talent?...wait don''t answer that LOL

  • Adam Lambert Amazing Talent ? ROFLMAO....But your 28 and think he is not sure what's funnier ....LOL

  • If you backtrack to my first comment einstein I stated I was 20...why the hec would you wanna throw shade at all if you can''t read the blatantly obvious hence your typo errors galore? LMAO...Really...how do you take your self seriously? lol

  • 5:15 - BEST TEETH IN THE BUSINESS!!!

  • He voice is a national treasure, should be preserved for future generations.

    Whitney is a phenomenon, because her voice combines all elements of perfection, such voice never been recorded before, and its unlikely to happen again in our life time..

  • OMG...Whitney F**ks up yet another song with her crack ass singing...Cece's is SOOOOOO much Better

  • You sound like a bitter and scorned asshole pissed off that the Queen Whitney outdid someone as legendary as CeCe Winans. I love it when insignificant morons like you make their jealousy-filled comments. Makes me smile. And if Whitney actually gave a damn about your pathetic life and comments, i'm sure she'd be smiling too.

  • did you mean Whitney the DRUG queen...makes you smile what are you buying crack from her too ..as i see it Whiteny has the pathetic Life...can we can Crack WHORE Whitney

  • @Neno8403 is it that serious? let's be big boys and girls

  • @snowman1919 You're 7 months too late with your tired remark. FAIL!

  • @Neno8403 Ive heard both versions and their both even if anything. But I do think CeCe was slightly better.

  • @Neno8403 I love them both, but I believe CeCe's version is better. But, what difference does it make?? It's a beautiful song!!! Can we just ENJOY it?? It's not like we are trying to compare CeCe and Rihanna!!!!

  • @agapereign I guess you missed the part where I stated the "legendary" CeCe Winans. It's MY opinion that Whitney did it better, and my remark was in reference to someone who felt the need to degrade Whitney. Not much to read into.

  • @Neno8403 in all fairness Whitney out does everyone so it doesnt mean to say that Cece isnt a wonderful singer, Whitney was simply made to sing, its like her body was formed AROUND her voice lol

  • "don't cry when life is not the joy it should be" < 3

    I dedicate this song to my Haitian people, may God save us

  • i love this women she is still standing after SO MANY hits and she is so blessed and talented GO GIRL.

  • this is the best song ever!!!!! she kills it

  • I've only heard Cece Winans sing this song. And wow, I love Whitney's version.

  • @MattieSongbird whitney kill this song. the best version ever

  • Amen dranlehm. And Kris Angelica is awesome too!

  • i dont care what ppl say, she still has her voice and she sounds great...

  • ONLY AND FOREVER THE BEST++++

  • this is going to be a song I will video myself singing and will be played when it's time for my home going....

  • she has natural curly hair..i like to watch her live performance

  • whoa I have to disagree with there, I prefer Whitney's version it has more soul in it

  • that "dont cry for me" that she held out near the end...Lord she better sing

  • can anyone tell me when she made this song? Was it 2007? I love this woman, thank GOD for her voice!

  • @coolinRain Whitney performed this live at the Commitment for life AIDS Benefit in1994

  • You are such a complete idiot for this comment.

  • I love Whitney's gift and respect and love CeCe's gift and compare not what God gave them to share to the world but soon Whitney will convert to gospel I look to you was a selection of songs on hold waiting for her. However, God has brought her through too many storms for her not to. She is a vessel for God and will follow through with her purpose, I have the faith.

  • This has to be my favorite live performance for Whitney. It does not get any better than this.

  • love you

  • i rily love this song, best rendition

  • Boy, what a cutie! She's a lovely girl.

  • I cannot stop listening to this incredible song. It means so much to me...Whitney, you are huge!. Your voice is not only a "national treasure" , as oprah said, but a world's treasure. I only wish you could have recorded more records when you could sing like this, but seing you live new , as in oprah, is still a privilege. God bless you for being there,and please keep on singing and finding your own strength.

  • The best there is and with No Apology!!!!!!!

  • beautiful performance

  • Everything in life has a life expectency......even and including a great voice....and who among us know what the future holds....with time and patinence she may get that sound back....she is still a young woman

  • Well I guess I am delusional.....I can handle that

  • all things are possible through christ. he made the blind to see and mute to speak. faith is powerful. if she does it will be for the glory of god through jesus christ and if not it's still his glory for her t get that voice back.i love whitney in spite of not because of.
