  • Comment removed

  • 4:43 "YOU YOU YOU MAKE ME WANNA SHOOT YOU!" Lol. She was mad as hell. LMAO!

  • One of the best live performances EVER and she was considered on a vocal decline at the time. Wish her the best with recovering.....

  • She totally take the studio version to a higher level. the emotion she devoted in the song just proved her the best singer of all time.

  • @getngoforit i always said that is amazing how she can sing live and that interpretation of the song is better than the one on the CD, few people can do that

  • WWHHHYYYY does it hurt? Splain Lucy! Splain it to me!!!!!!

  • Yyyyeeessss @ msdiva lmaooo this is my shit

  • HIGH AND ALL....SHE DID THAT!

  • and this was her during a vocal decline? WOW, this trump many of today's singers best performances

  • One of her best performances in her entire career!

    

  • She sang dis right hur!!!

  • Great singer, great voice!

  • i love this cracked out whitney .. bitch sangin her ass off and high doing it.. u go gurl

  • fuckin amazing voice...

  • For all the technical merit and near flawless runs, what hits me in my heart is that she's telling me a story. And she's FEELING it like she's living it right now. That's some kinda love- and pain.

  • The sickess run I have ever heard in my life! This one run puts every other singer to shame 3:46

  • @musicisunityandlove

    It really does; not one singer has effortlessly smashed that out sitting down like Whitney!

  • whitney was at her best

  • yoshito what is song to pieces she is in a text talk

  • The three people that disliked this needs there Fingers Chopped better yet there Ears!

  • Wow How I miss her singing!!!!!!

  • LOVE THIS SONG

  • @tangled55 bitch you odont know how old i am so be quite and leave me alone and i know my comprehension so shut up and eat. because im not 11 i am 13 so stfu and get my age right

  • Comment removed

  • @tangled55 :O

  • She is the BEST BETTER THAN the Jackson's

  • Was this at the VMAs? It's amazing!

  • ONE OF THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCES EVER... I MEAN EVER... SHE PROVES WHY SHE IS THE BEST VOCALIST OF ALL TIME... NO ONE CAN MAKE A SONG SOUND SO GREAT!!! HER RUNS ARE PHENOMENAL!!! HER NOTES ARE INCREDIBLE... HER TONE IS EXTRAORDINARY... WHITNEY IS "THE VOICE"...

  • UNICA!!! GRANDISSIMA

  • she sang this fucking song like it was for the grammys or something and it was just a MTV show. She fucking left her heart and mine on that stage when she sang this.

    And this stands right up there with any legendary late 80's early 90's performance that she's known for. This was the late 90s and she was struggling with her drug demons heavily then, but not one fucking note was off.

    That's what you call a legendary performance by one of the greatest women in that industry ever.

  • @tangled55 SHUT THE FUCK UP SHE'S BETTER THAN YOU I BAT OK SHE'S ONE OF THE BEST SINGER'S IN THE WORLD SHE IS NUMBER 3 OK SO GET THAT RIGHT BUT I DO KINDA AGREE WITH THE GOOD STUFF

  • @Dayon98 Learn to read my whole comment before you try to call me out. I didn't insult her at all. But I do see you're like 11 years old.

    What the hell is wrong with public schools these days? Next time I'll try and speak slowly and use smaller words because clearly adjectives and adverbs are beyond your level of comprehension.

    School isn't for you kid, save yourself the effort and drop out.

  • @tangled55 well said!!! Voice= Whitney

  • @tangled55 PREACH!

  • This is one of my all-time favorite Whitney songs and hands down one of her greatest performances. She sang the shit out of this sing. I've loved her since I was 4, I'm 26 now, so it's been a while. Once again definatly one of her greatest performances. Especially the last note at the end is beautiful. Go head Whit :)

  • Man wish this was a little better audio quality. Love this clip! Thanks for posting

  • amazing amazing... one of the most liked performance of whitney... luv it... aaamaziiing!!!!

  • Amazing performance

  • What's so darn AMAZING about Whitney and her soul is that, her voice was pretty shot in this performance, and she just put her all into it and sang the HELL outta this song! How many people can have a deteriorating voice, can't even hardly speak, and can tear a song up like this? Whitney's no joke...these young kids had better listen and learn!

  • melhor impossivel! esse anjo perdido no mundo é uma benção de Deus ela é inesquecivel, inalcansavel como cantora,é definitivamente a melhor.

    DEUS TE ABENÇÕE WHITNEY

  • What a beautiful, underrated song. I had never heard this performed live before, thanks for posting !

  • this is my all time favorite whitney performance. I just love her.

  • What!!!

  • Whitney is off the chain! I had to listen to this one more time! She's amazing then and NOW! The gift is how to interpret a song.....and that is one thing that Whitney will always be able to do!

  • FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • BAR NONE - The greatest VOICE of her generation! Long live the VOICE!!

  • The world's best singer. Ever!

  • i love mariah carey but i respect whitney so much... specially when im in the mood of being soulful!

  • this is real whitney!

  • omg that was an excellent performance,it was amazing. i love her !! in my eyes whitney one of the best female singers in the world.i mean we have alot of artist than can sing, but whitneys voice was mesmerizing especially in a live performance.

  • That was a soooooooo serious.

  • Shoot you! not shoop you! LOL

  • LOVE THIS!!

  • one of her very best live performances.

  • ohhhh yesss...why does it hurt so very very bad

  • sing that shit girl! oh, what a waste!

  • i very most love and like feelin too thissong this video only ..Wooooooo It Hurt So Bad

  • She was at the top of her game right here!!!

  • can someone tell me the name of this place she performed at and the year?

  • @DreamloverLambi mtv movie awards or mtv music awards

  • Back in those days I think Whitney could've hurt you with that voice if she wanted to

  • Perfecta interpretacion, cada vez que veo este video pienso lo mismo, no conozco a otro interprete que tenga tal sentido de la musica, del tiempo es verdaderamente impresionante, cual si toda la armonia bajara por ella.

  • @pglez725 esincreible la vocalizacion e interpretacion ella es increible, me pone la piel de gallina, por eso le llaman la voz

  • Still one of her best ever performances...Wow..that VOICE........will always love this song.

  • Whitney was THE TRUTH!!...UNTOUCHABLE!!....We love you Nippy;0)

  • YES WHITNEY SHE KILLED THIS SONG I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE AND SHE DIDNT EVEN HAD TO STAND UP...THATS WHAT YOU CALL SANGIN..A BEAST

    SHES THE BEST TO EVA DO IT HANDS DOWN

  • @overit83 OK!! Whitney always go all out with her performance...I mean dis live version is SICK!

  • @overit83 Yes I noticed that too. I also like how she sat, she sat so she wouldn't have to stand but she also has control of her breathing, notice she's on a stool and not an actual chair.

  • @honeegrrl totally! Whitney's badass can sing standing or sitting. What a versatile bitch, she can do all she wants with her voice. I think she was still the uncomparable diva here just like in the eighties and 90's. She is fucking awesome!

  • i remember seeing this performance on tv and boy i never thought I could love the song more after hearing it live! she still is one of my fave singers of all time....

  • sing it girl'' .......

  • plizzz my girl come back that way!!! PLEEAASS!!

  • 3:25 - 3:50 u better SING Whitney ,,I LUV IT !!!!

  • love the way the back ground singers step away from the mic and step back up to it

  • @antnee1980 YUP! She was like "iight yall get back from them mics & LET ME HANDLE THIS RIGHT QUICK" lol then she absolutely KILLED lolol

  • @ayvian .....lol....how i respect your opinion and your personal prefrence....i will say this...ive heard jill scott LIVE on several occasions...and she is a gifted singer...however vocally...she is no match for Whitney Houston...jill has some awesome stage prescence and she delivers with emotion yes!!!...but as far as jus plain Vocal Power and Technique.....ha ha ha..cmon are u serious??? Whitney would kick her ass

  • no body else can do what she does whith the melody, she play and win always , God bless you !! Que talento no hay quien pueda cantar como esta mujer lo hace es verdaderamente increible, mi piel se despierta cuando la oigo.

  • I said it once i'll say it again...name me ONE person who is singing like this in 2010

    ...and i dont wanna hear no Beyonce, Christina Aguilera or even Jennifer Hudson...they are not even on Whitney's Level when she was performing like this.....whitney houston is often imitated but NEVER duplicated.....

  • @troynellsantana Jill Scott. And she will TRAMPLE Whitney any day of the week when it comes to singing live.

  • @Ayvian before Whitney used drugs, NO ONE was messing with her in the vocal department. Whitney was a beast and not even jill scott could beat Whitney in the vocal department. They have different styles of singing anyway.

  • This is SO much better than the studio version! I think the producers of the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack made Whitney hold back so she wouldn't overshadow the other singers!

  • @rhythmnation2004 Since the beginning of Whitney's career she has always held back on her vocals in recordings. She sings better in person because she gets to be herself and add her gospel flavor to her songs. It has nothing to do with the other women on the soundtrack because all of them can sing.

  • wow, amazing. what year was this?

  • the greatest live from Whitney !!!

  • very good live performance

  • And 3:30

  • Play 3:46-:3:49

  • I remember when I first saw this performance. I was awe struck because felt she performed this vocaly impressive. I still love it. 3:29 is crazy to me. But some people dont like it.

    P.S. 3:46-3:49

  • Great performance.

  • GO WHITNEY SING DAT SONG LOVE IT #1 FAN

  • I keep my self that all the time

  • i had ask my self that sometimes

  • Amazing; my number 1 of all time.

  • Never again that what she saiiid to herseeeellf!! She never wanna ever wanna feel kind a Pain again! NOOO! HEEEY!!!lol

  • 4:42 "You you you make me wanna shoot you"

  • God I tell you Thank You for Whitney Houston. Amen!!

  • This is the Whitney I love, and the one I'm praying will come back! She feelin that thang.

  • treg1980: dude, just stop, if u r saying whitney's live performances are worse than album versions u obviously know very little abt music (it's not a matter of taste technically her live prormances are just way better and anybody who's well into music will tell ya that)

  • and honestly looking at what bull...t u r writing nobody cares what u think, u should send a thank you note to MrSoulshock4444 for educating you

  • I love listening to this song and i also love singing it myself...this woman is unmistakeably the best. Can't wait to see her live in April. Absolutely love her. Regarless of all the crap over the years...at the end of the day she is still Whitney Houston, come on!!!!!!

  • kudos whitney!

  • Perfection. Absolute perfection!

  • One of her best performances ever. Whitney ruins her own songs half the time while performing them live, but this one was awesome! But I think she was allready using drugs at this time. Look at her in the close ups...

  • whitney ruins her own songs? Are u kidding? For every single she released in her career she did at least 2 or 3 live perfomances that put the studio version to shame (except for run to you). And who gives a damn if she was using drugs at the time. All that matters is that she's off that shit now, and she delivered a brilliant perfomance.

  • Yes, she ruins most of her songs live. I'm a big Whitney (musicially) fan, but don't like most of her live performances. She never delivers them like on the record, know why? Because she can't do most of the real high notes live. It's just a fact. Look at early All at Once performances. Her live voice is not as strong as Mariah's (for example and I really DISlike Mariah!!).

  • u must be on the same shit whitney was for the last decade! Young whitney would SLAY young mariah on stage. I guess you never heard whitney sing live in the 80's. She was actually holding back in the studio at the time. And most of her live versions made the CD sound average. She was hitting notes live that she never did in the studio in her whole career. U need to do some research before writing such stupid things.any one who heard whitney live in her prime would laugh at you

  • the only song i never heard whitney do justice live is run to you. And the only reason is that i never heard her sing live at all. Whitney is easily on the Top 3 best live performers to ever grace a stage. The only fact that u have the nerve to compare her to mariah lipsinching carey proves u don't know what u talking about

  • Sorry to tell you wrong, but while you haven't, I have witnessed Whitney live a couple of times and was never as impressed as I am by her albums. And I DO love Whitney's music, just wasn't impressed by her live appearances. Sorry this probably hurts you so much. LOL.

  • LMFAO honey it's not about me, it's about common sense.and you just proved me you have none!tell me on how many records have whitney ever delivered vocals like she did in I am changing for example?you really need to get your ears checked

  • studio whitney is great,but live whitney is out of the world.this performance right here is amazing,that's true,but it was nothing surprising for whitney

  • .in her prime she was doing performances like this for breakfast, lunch and dinner, everyday of the week

    here those will educate you a little:

    watch?v=bPio9mVaC_k

    watch?v=4oDbCORyLS8

  • remember back in the 80's when whitney was criticised for being too pop. there were articles about how suprising it was that her records were not as soulful and great as her live concerts

  • Ur full of shit!!-)

  • Full of shit, because I have my own opinion? I'm so glad you all just respect me having my own opinion...

  • @CheebongYT Well, that's a matter of opinion, really. I for one like the spontaneous nature of Whitney's live performances. :D

  • QUEEN OF MUSIC, THE VOICE!!!!!

  • this is on the waiting to exhale soundtrack

  • does anyone know what year this performance was in? she still had it here, whatever year it was. she is amazing. there are no words great enough to describe whitney!

  • this was the year of the waiting to exhale soundtrack its on the album

  • The fifth annual MTV Movie Awards in June 1996.

  • The greatest Whitney performance of all time...hands down!

  • Did Whitney not murder this song!!!!! She better sing.

  • This performance is absoloutly amazing..would love to hear her sound like that again

  • she gave everything she had in this performance. she reached deep down in her soul for those lyrics and emotions. whitney is amazing...always will be!

  • @gary42484 So agree with you on this, she reached in the debts of her soul to perform this!

  • as much as I respect beyonce this is the kind of performance I would love to see from her, down & dirty souful performance no background dancers no fan blowing your hair just pure singin

  • for singers today it is all about looks; Whitney is just simple cause its all about her voice.

  • looks too. She's beautiful

  • @Bahia82 im witcha

  • @Bahia82 sorry to say but beyonce have no soul when singing, she just sing. majority of beyonce songs are dance songs and dont have no substance in them but beyonce will always be the same and no growth.she scared she'll lose her fan base.

  • She sang that song!!!!! I can feel the lyrics to song... Why does it hurt so bad?!!! That is the question...

  • I just watched this on VH1 soul and had to find it on youtube. Whitney we have all been there. We have all asked Why Does It Hurt So Bad? You make me wanna shoot you. That is so deep. Babyface writes some deep words to music. Whitney could sing the phone book and have you turned out. Thanks for the post and the memories.

  • @laarbe wow...i didn't realize she was saying you make me wanna shoot you! i always thought she was saying you make me wanna shoop shoop lol

  • WELL Gary me too, shoot you tnx for that lol

  • @gretz13 lol! You you you make me wanna SHOOT you...hurt me so...yeah you did lol

  • You always thinking 'how lovely going back to the shoop song'

    And what i like best from Whitney... besides her amazing talents, is that she always sing so clearly, understandable, still have trouble with say Beyonce (whom i love dearly)...LOL
