Her voice was gone temporarily sadly due to the drugs. And i think she could have recovered it all with a vocal coach. Although she still is an amazing woman with great stage presence.
It's so funny how she kinda rasps up on that first 'my lonely heart calls' and right away looks to her backup singers telling them to 'sing'. Kinda cute though probably not intentionally.
Even due to the use of smoking crack she still had her voice I just think with more vocal work with her vocal coach she couldve gotten it completely back. May she rest in peace she truly was the greatest singer of all time.
RIP Whitney. You have truly left us with a lot of beautiful music to treasure. And to those who deem it necessary to lowrate and call Ms. Houston out of her name, I say to you IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.
Everyone's voices change as we age and with all her vocal cord use throughout all her concerts and throughout the years, it is inevitable her voice would change. Don't be haters some of you, give support and love to an icon. Until you walk in someone's shoes, don't judge!!! Love you Whitney !!!! You are definitely dancing with somebody in Heaven!!!
RIP Whitney, the best singer ever! Her death just proved to everybody that you can have talent & fame & opportunity, but substances abuse can take it all away! So sad of her passing...
When Whitney sang on DWTS, I was so happy to see one of my favorites there performing. Tonight I'm saddened that she passed away. Whitney was a legend, an icon, and an artist that was loved by everyone. My heart goes out to her daughter and family at this time. RIP Whitney! Your voice now belong with angelic voices from above.
It so sad that she is no longer with us. Im in so shocked right now. I lWill Always Love You Whitney Houston. Rest In Peace... My May The Lord Be With You...
If she would stop smoking pot her voice would return, my friend had a powerful voice then she started smoking pot (anxiety) then her voice sounded EXACTLY like this... She stopped smoking pot and got back into vocal lessons and strengthening and voila voice back like it was not missing and even sounds Better with a little tiny rasp on certain notes ;) and he smoked 10+ years now she drinks water,tea with honey
such a legend. to this day she is the best singer out their. where did all of the talent in the world go. whitney needs to stay. she's the real talent
Isn't it amazing how drugged out Whitney still manages to be a way better singer and performer than 99% of the talent today? I'm talking to you, Lady Gaga.
honestly the voice doesnt even bother me. of course im saddened for what happened, but honestly, she is still a beauty and emits such an infectious positive energy. i look at her and smile instantly and feel great. thanks whitney, keep on singing! :)
At less she is still singing live and not miming like most of the artists now. Whitney is a legend, and has earned the place of the best vocalist ever.
she was great ! you wanna hear someone live this is the one, the voice. 80 percent of the singers today all lipsing. horrible! but this, this is real singing. shes got nothing to prove look at the past 25 years shes a national treasure !
That run at 0:27 was CLASSIC WHITNEY! wow. But I have to say, she has lost a lot of the beautiful tone that she used to possess :'( I still love her and she still continues to be a source of inspiration to me.
That run at 0:26 was CLASSIC WHITNEY! wow. But I have to say, she has lost a lot of the beautiful tone that she used to possess :'( I still love her and she still continues to be a source of inspiration to me.

i love whitney and she has a wonderful voice so fuck you haters. yall mother fuckers will never have talent like her. @bboo88 i totally agree with you go girl
this may not be her best performance but best bet in 2011 shes doing it big
FUCK THE HATERS!!!! WHITNEY WILL FOREVER BE A LEGEND
I am proud of Whitney! She got out of that marriage and is still pulling herself together. She can still sing way better than so many popular artist today.
wow, i'd say she did have the balls to get up there and try it, but i think it's time to give it a final rest. those lungs arent what they used to be by far. at first i thought well maybe the dress it too tight, but naw, her lungs have rejected her for good. great try tho
OMG...look at her gasping for air!!! She did it to her self and all the drugs over the years have ruined her voice. Such a pity that she will never sing like she used to. The back-up singers are doing most of the song. God bless her for trying, however. Takes a lot of guts to get back up and perform.
@bboo88 I couldnt agree with anyone more. She is 50 years old now. No one can do anything as great at 50 as they did at twenty somthing. Music today sucks SUCKS! this was when music was good and people were actually talented! Whitney best of all time, BEST NOW! BEST FOREVER AND EVER!!!
true, but the drugs have really ruined her gorgeous voice, :'(
she had to have a lot of help from the background singers but YES compared to some of the rubbish talentLESS singers we have she is ok.;) bboo88 and mdiscreetfun4you
Her voice is totally gone and she missed many of the words of the song message here don't get involved with drugs as this is a clear testoment to how bad they mess your life up.
damn if she hadn't took those drugs she would still be able to perform this song vocally, but i wonder if it saddens her heart that she cant sing like before. :(
She looks really good and most importantly, she looks happy to be performing. It looked like she may not be around to ever sing again. I am glad she is away from the toxic life she lived. Although this is not a great performance, she did her best.
@bboo88 Totally agree! Yeah in her prime her voice was easily one of the best, but still today she can still sing! And I'm sure her voice is much, much better than those who are bashing her...
@bboo88 omg..that might be true..but really how can you reward bad behavior..she treated her instrument bad and now she is paying for it..THIS PERFORMANCE is and embarrassment!
Give her a break. In time she will come back. Let's thank god she has pull herself out of the drugs and lifestyle with Bobby Brown. As she continues to build her vocals and continues to sing, etc. She will get it right. Let's encourage -- not CRITICIZE. Be happy for her.
I really hate how she "Talks" the song if she can't vocally put it together anymore then don't ruin the hits that made her who she is today I'm pulling for Whitney though she is a great talent!
whitney you toke your time on that song it wasnt the best performance but you done well.... it sound like she need sum stamina because she sound short of breath at times but i pray you will over cum that small problem.... i love you whitney
fail- compared to the original! blah blah i know her voice has changed, blah blah blah, shes turning her life round (yay) blah blah, you cant sing like her, but still fail. but the albums good! BUY IT!!
Whitney put down the drugs please.Whitney voice is dying slowly and slowly.I think this performance was horrible.But I hope she improves because I mean DAMN!
shes not on any drugs loser so give her a brake its her pass and lets put that in the pass.... but she do smoke cigarettes and she is workin on her vocals in time it will slowly start improvin and slowly cumin back..... if you a fan of whitney you will encourage her and not try to put her down thats not cool
