  • One of my all time FAVORITE performances of "It's Not Right, But It's Ok".

  • Whitney j'adore !!

  • Am i the only one wonderin how she was jumpin in those heels?! Whitney is the best

  • I am so glad that she is back. I personally met Whitney, Bobby, Brandy, & Lou Rawls all in one night and I was so happy to be by her side. I dont care what anybody say 'She is still a precious jewel and a gift from God." I will always love her and the joy she brings to millions of people around the world. YOU GO GIRl! Anybody would like to see the photos of her on my FB hit me there! Look for Angelique Keyes

  • In all honesty her voice is slowly coming back. I think that it can fully recover if she takes a year or so off to nourish it correctly.Meaning no screaming ,minimal talking, taking vitamins, drinking only water,working out and meditating, then gradually start to ever so gently retrain her voice. Remember the body has been known to heal itself. Lastly she has to stay prayed up with total serenity!!! It can be done but she has to take the step of really going inside of herself which takes guts.

  • @44joints I totally agree with you! Well said :D

  • very well said my friend

  • @NippyFan100 ........ Thank you. Let's pray that she fully recovers.

  • oh god she looks so dark

  • Damn Whitney forever. I love her so much. I wish ther was Just Whitney radio that just played her singing all day and night

  • and i am in love with her!!

  • i am 16 years old and i am from greece..what s the profit?

  • What I dont understad what you mean What s the profit. Just wandering ,

  • "I'm every woman" rocks ! I am 13 years old but I LOVE HER ! She'll always be the BEST singer(woman) in the whole world !

  • WOW i had to listen to 0:37 5 times before i realized she did not say "i found a crackwhore on the street" LOL! i m not a hater i love whitney but this was just funny!

  • That is really cracked me. LOL

  • lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooo omfg im dyin laughin at this lol

  • She is amazing!

  • I think that she still kills "I'm every woman".

    She just doesn't do the high notes at the bridge. She has not often done that either. She lip synced that part often

  • i love her, couldnt care less about the critics, shes the best

  • She actually sounds better here (just 8 months ago) than she sounds now. Whitney we still love ya girl!!

  • It's very weird when people to say her voice is gone when she just TORE INRBIO to pieces like she did in 1998/99.

  • Not bad........but seemed like she has short breath.....if you heard clearly...she sing it very fast coz the short breath and....and did stacato to hide it. She also get very rough in high notes.

    The things Whitney to do right now, is sing with her lower key, her lower key is very beautiful actually and very soulful, she dont need to go to high notes anymore with that.

  • She cannot hit the high notes anymore.

  • A hopeful live re-start.

  • I was a this event and she sounded much better in person than thses low quality clips..I wa also recenly at her New York party and I tell you her album is HOT!!! HOT!!! I just cant explain it she is sounding amazing....This is a classic album, no tricks...Her voice again is sounding powerfull and clear.

  • I LOVE how her voice sounds now! So soulful! Im so excited!!!

  • she tore the mess out of that it's not right but it's okay song!

  • Epic return

  • Since i was around when she was hot and hit after hit and still is!! She was the the female version of michael jackson forget mariah carey!!! I was looking forward to the king and queen of pop 2 come back and show all these kids how 2 do it. Even though mike will no longer be w/ us he has his rehearsals and unreleased music 2 still show the world what he still had and i glad. but anyway i glad whitney still here 2 release her new music she 2 still got it!! I glad 4 u whitney

  • Biscaynejc your thinking is like mad flat. So many good singers out there today? You are funny. All the good singers today are a bit manufactured and packaged by a show called American Idol.

  • towards the end she knows that she cant do it like she used to, but damn she still sounds good, cant wait fot the album!! :)

  • poor whitney, total dissastrous, sorry for those who think she will come back to this new era where there are so many good singers, that is what drugs do to a person who abuses it, got nothing to do with religion or god, i don't believe in any of those anyhow.

  • her new album is gonna be a huge success. already top 20 on amazon now and she hasn't even come out with an official single or video. will she be like she was 15 years ago...no, but she still has great songs and a good voice so that's all that matters. she's happy and healthy...she's definitely back! sept. 1st!

  • I dont know, wait for her album to come out. Theres still light at the end of the tunnel at least theres no more bobby now. However apparently shes not known for her live performances

  • Her new cd is getting excellent reviews by all top critics of major publications. Rolling Stone, Billboard, New York Times and so forth definately disagree with you. The woman is back. I personally think this new era of singers suck. She has little competition in the vocal department.

  • Lots of teens are turning to Whitney as the young singers in their 20s and early 30s just aren't that exciting to them. The average Whitney fan in 1993 was probably born in 1974; today its more like 1981.

  • gymnastics and that her voice is as powerful as ever i just can not stand the wait LIKE THAT 1:17---1:23 AND 2:31 AWSOME OLD WHITNEY!! WELCOME BACK WE NEED YOU

  • I agree! And she did it to herself. It's not like she had cancer or something she couldn't have controlled.

  • She sounds great. Period.

  • There isn't anything wrong with admitting that her gift has been tainted and recognizing that she did it to herself. I'm glad she's no longer struggling w/ that habit and she's once again in the limelight. She'll be fine after her album's released. Her fans will buy the copies like hot pancakes off the grill, even if the quality isn't deserving. Good luck, Ms. Houston.

  • she nail that run and rift at 1:54...and this waz a good time ago...i just cant wait to hear her soon....love u whitney!!!!

  • wow..all the music critics..her every performance isnt the vocal olympics..she could outsing these critics gargling sand with tape over her mouth.we're blessed she shares her gift with us at all

  • you know wat..i never thought she's execute those high notes in "i'm every woman " ..i thought she'd be worse than this !! wat a relief to see her back and getting herself together !! well done!!..oh i must say she's never been so beautiful as this !!

  • Whitney still sounds great in this pre-Grammy party performance from February! She's ready to get back to performing on stages again! Can't wait for her new album in September!!!!

  • is this going to be on her comeback album?..

    so pathetic..!

  • "Lovethesetits: As a vocalist , I'm here to tell you you never sound the same as you did when you were younger; I am 52, still can sing my a** off, but I am in no way as good as when I was 25 or even 45. The years of talking, drinking, or whatever puts a strain on the body and the vocal chords are no exception, especially as a singer. Her Mother Cissy and Aunt Dion were great singers, but started sounding not so good at around 50. She still sounds great but not as good.

    Garry

  • People have to realize u are telling the truth.

  • The voice won't last forever; her Mother, Cissy Houston had a great voice, and her Aunt, Deion Warwick, but when they pushed 50, their voices started to crack, creak, and waver, they could still sing don't get me wrong, but around 50 or pushing 50 they didn't sound as good anymore; not saying the same will happen to Whitney, but it might. So...she'd better take this possible last window of opportunity to rake in. She don'tsound as good in the past in my opinion, but she sounds great.

    Garry

  • I think the problem with whitney houston voice is not a vocal- cord- problem anymore but she lost almost all of her breath support. I think she still is smoking cigarettes and I think she developed some sort of slight lung emphysem. She has to quit smoking maybe her lungs will recover.

  • whitney is still the best at the age of 45 she not going to sing like when she was 25 ses a diva and she hit those notes a thousand times for us she sound better than her late 30s or 1999 from 2002

  • This is damned good. Sorry to those who think she's lost it. I have seen this song performed live and this is just as well done as many of her other performances of this song. And this is live. I can only imagine how she will sound in a controlled setting. No doubt.....SHE'S BACK.

  • At 3:13, when Whitney was jumping along the scene, I got goosebumps. She was ready to BLOW!

  • i think whit is trying too much in her live performances now she may be trying to reassure ppl thats shes stilll gt it but she doesnt hav 2 as we all kno shes gr8 she just needs to chill out or shell loose d voice and start sounding flat nd unpleasant... love er still doe

  • i believe voices chanqe no one is the same like they were in the past there is only a few who sounds the same but arent as good because people grow and voices get tired.

  • i think she worked well with what she has, like i always say "it is what it is" we cant take her voice point blank i she can sing, then she can sing. its like halle berry people will have thier own opinions about shes ugly or cute but at the end of the day it is what it is she is gorgeous. it is what it is whitney's voice is undeniable we must remember how she was it isnt the same time has changed

  • i agree but we cant take away what she delivered and will deliver in the future she still has soul and heart. she is still the voice.

  • This is a question for professional musicians: It sounds as if Whitney is struggling more with her breathing than her vocal cords. Am I hearing this correctly, or is it all the same?

  • Remember that Whitney did drugs and smoked for some years. Also, she has gotten older...so her voice bcould naturally lower over time.

  • Yeah, but what about how her voice is unstable when she tries to sing long notes. I hope I don't sound silly because I am not an expert on voice, so that is why I am reaching out for answers. It just seems as if she has more of a bronchial problem than a vocal cord problem since she still has her vocal tone.

  • You could be right...but then again, with the voice, it is use it (properly) or use it. Her voice is not in shape anymore. I'd have to get a scope down her throat to be able to fully tell.

  • Thanks for your help. I am just so disappointed. Even before the drugs, Whitney smoked cigarettes, thereby never protecting or appreciating her voice. And now, she is only 45 years of age and sounds like an old screaming woman. Sigh!

  • people~

    now can pre-order her new album in Amazon! can't wait for her new album in Sep!

  • Impressive. I was very excited to read that an release date for Whitney's new album had been announced. I will most certainly be in line to buy it.

  • The voice is back, the woman is back, and I am ready. Come on Whitney, come on honey, were here.

  • New album drops on Sep 1 people! WOOHOO!!!

  • YEAHHH IM GLAD !!!

  • whitney looks and sounds great God bless

  • Whitney Houston is back = Real music is back

  • Unless producers use Autotune on Whitney's voice. That would be a SHAME. If it is, I would only prefer to hear the new songs sung live.

  • I DONT THINK THAT WHITNEY OR CLIVE WOULD EVER DO THAT SHE IS THE VOICE. iF SHE COULD NOT SING ANYMORE ON HER OWN I THINK THAT SHE WOULD JUST RETIRE, THEY COULD ALWAYS RELEASE 5 OR 6 ALBUM OF HER LIVE CONCERTS ON CD TO FINISH OUT HER CONTRACT. SO I THINK THAT HER VOICE IS STILL BETTER THAT ANY ARTIST OUT THERE IN TODAYS MUSIC.

  • Finally some real sangin

  • I LOVE YOU WHITNEY .

  • i love whitney!

  • nippys back

  • I Love Whitney INRBIO she may can relate to it even more than when she recored it can't wait for the new album i heard it 's really good and she almost finnished. i cant wait ...Love U Whitney

  • U'll ppls on here does kill me y r ppls so crazy she sound good to be recorded with a cell fone it not a good recordin but she still same amazing so let stop be so judgemental n wait for a live television or boardcasting to pass judgement untill then she sound great with a cell fone

  • whitney your still the best love u loads

  • if she just quiting any sort of substancce abuse then her voice can only improve..keep that in mind ppl.

  • IEW was a mess, but I am loving this "It's Not Right".

  • Her voice is resilient and still powerful after all these years. The energy, passion, soul, power and range in this performance...is simply astounding. Wait until she comes back and shows us how songs are supposed to be sung.

  • whitney still got it.. she is goinna come back stronger than ever....WHITNEY 2009

  • OMG look at how she works that stage...with no dancers, no etxra lighting, or backgroud illusions....Britney and Bey (I love ya'll to death) but eat your damn hearts out!!!!!

  • oh don't start...that she's nowhere near Beyonce right now. Just stop.

  • yeah WHITEY IS SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN BEYONCE LOL SOOOOOO MUCH . GET IT STRAIGHT PEOPLE.

  • Beyonce isn't SHIT compared to Whitney...Whitney is the BEST...check out the Bodyguard soundtrack...

  • In all fairness, that's false. Beyonce wouldn't be shxt without Whitney coming first, but don't try to play Beyonce like she can't sing. She would get her butt handed to her in a vocal battle but you make it sound like she's Ciara!

  • back in the day whitney was WAY better than Bee but now (especially live) she is not. I love Whitney too but her voice is not what it used to be.

  • Oh yeah, people should really watch her I Love The Lord performance in Morocco 2008. I wouldn't say that was better than we she did it at her prime, but O LORD, wanna go to church? Just search:

    "Morocco I Love The Lord Whitney Houston"

  • I love it when singers age. They no longer resort to high notes and vocal prowess to show emotions. They now rely on phrasing and style, a more difficult method that only through years of singing can be developed. I am now more inclined to reminisce and feel the song than ever before.

  • OMG...I'm so feeling you on this comment....it no longer about JUST acrobatics, but emotion and style....nothing else can top that...that's the mark of a ( everlasting ) singer.....And Dont Forget, Having Stage Presense Like No Other doesnt hurt either! LOL

    Doesnt Hurt LOL

  • well I think this is it we got our girl back and thank goodness for that cuz dont forget she can, could and will sing any female and most men singers out the water with just a mmmmmmmmm from that voice keep going whit we all love and respect you

  • look she is ours and she will never go anywhere like old dude said with even less then half of that god given voice she could can and will sing any body out the water and dont any one forget that when u thing of a female singer shes the one ever one thinks of god bless her

  • Ask her to sing i will always love you her biggest hit!! ur eardrums will burst !!! she shud just chill n not overstrain her voice!! and ppl this is just a begining of another sad ending!! if she were to have a succesful comeback after that she go back to her old self n hook on drugs!!! hahhahahahha pray that don't happen

  • She needs to start singing for God

  • Amen.

    People be forgetting about the anointing.

  • Go look at her performance of "I Love the Lord" from last year before you try to say something like that.

  • She sounds very strong. And remember we're hearing this off some hidden camera.  Whitney's back.

  • ohhh Dios!!! Whitney es única, es la mejor y esperamos su disco con ansias.

    Ella es la numero 1

  • In 2007, The Spice Girls came back rocked the world

    In 2008, Britney brought the Circus as her comeback

    In 2009, Whitney is gonna look Undefeated

  • Whitney has been to hell and back! Almost died ! She is so strong and surely loved by God.She was very good here! I am glad she is back because she cannot be replaced !

  • que fiasco es este remix tienes una voz espectacular

  • IT'S NOT RIGHT BUT IT'S OK !!!! LOVE IT!!!! she should work again with Darkchild

  • I love You

  • Whitney still has the gift but she seems to be singing in her lower registers... but she definitely still has the gift of song.. she knows how to vocalize in an amazing way

  • this gives me a lot of hope for her. I delcare right now that she will go further and become the whitney that we all know! She's come a long way! You better sing Whitney!

  • she needs to stop smoking. argh. you hear the worsening of breadth control and lost power. smoking does that to you. =(

  • OMG!!! Welcome back my Queen!!!

  • dis woman i going 2 b de greatest again!

  • if she gets her range back, the upper registers have been gone since 2004. the cracking has lessened but she can't hit those upper notes. the transition is gone. her voice has gone baritone-like. =(

  • be scared those u reigned when u were gone!!! haaha

  • the best!!!!

  • what is it that she's saying at the beginning?

    I love this woman!! I'm excited about her!

  • unbeatable whitney!!!

  • she does sound better, I agree. I still hear a few flubs, but still she's better. Still looking for some of those light beautiful inflections. Y'all know what Im talking about. She's being careful to stay away from those higher notes and understandably so. She' s taking baby steps. Lets hope for the best in the future.

  • show up on ya caller id, ohhh. . .powerful

  • Oh, my God So true!!! And they say that girl Charice has a better voice!! I mean all the shit this woman has been through, and her voice is still stronger than anyone out there. It's just Amazing!! Just one more fact She is the Voice!!! I luv you Whitney.. I mean Her Voice is so strong she can still pull off nearly anything. I love the part when she says Turns out!! Its so Damn Strong!! WOW! I had my friends listen to this and they said that voice aint gone no Damn Where!!!

  • just beautiful!!! well said that voice is still stronger than all the other female counter parts and all though it,s not all the way back you can hear it and it takes time right she could out sing anyone out there at this point with half her voice!

  • I know so True my Friend.. It just kills me when people beat her down saying she cant sing a lick.. This woman is the Voice, and I agree there is no living female artist out there who can out sing this woman with even the voice she has now... Thanks My friend for Agreeing..

  • 3:15-3:37 iT'S ALRIGHT IT'S OKAY  iT'S ALRIGHT IT'S OKAY ALRIGHT OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OYET OYEA ....ALSOME

  • I whole heartedly agree with you, those runs are AWESOME!!!!!!!

  • WoW, God is good ya'll. Whitney is sounding and looking sooo good... For all the haters, first of all why you here in the first place, I mean if you dont like whitney why you wasting 9 minutes of your life listening to this performance.. For all of whitneys true fans, OUR DAY IS COMING... WHITNEY HOUSTON HAS RETURNED. She will have a huge comeback I can feel it...I LOVE YOU MISS WHITNEY HOUSTON AND GOD BLESS YOU. PLEASE CONTINUE TO GET STRONGER AND SHOW ALL THESE HATERS WHAT YOU CAN DO.

  • Comment removed

  • 2:06-2:15 There Is No More tears left here for you to see Was It really worth You going Out Like that that that that

  • sing bitch yes maam

  • We Love You Whitney! 5 Stars!

  • Whatever. The IEW wasn't great but the rest was good. If you don't like it, go watch something else and quit trying to bring our joy down. Dumbass.

  • go momma whitney

  • Wow she sounds great (for a cell phone recording)! I can't wait for her new album. I wish they would let more info out. When we don't hear anything I assume something isn't going well. I would think she would have a new single out by now.

  • thank you whitney, just thank you...

  • I love how she did I thought had somebody down for Whitney...........

  • I keep coming back and she sounds better and better. Like avocatro said, "it's a cell phone recording" of a video screen no less. I'm jealous of those who were there.

  • al221177, what exactly should we be sad about? That she sounds good and looks healthy and happy to be there. I'm confused.

  • Well, she defintely improved alot. I love Whitney and NO ONE, past and present, can compare to Whitney when she was in her prime. Simply the greatest female vocalist of all time. I can't wait for the new album. Love you Nippy :)

  • Alexanadu

    Thank You for your comment.. It is so true. Whitney has been singing her entire life and for about 15 years singing HARD ! I sing for a living too as a professional back up singer. I have worked with a lot of people you would know including Whitney for many years. It takes its toll on you it really does. I was at Clives Party and let me tell you this tape doesn't do her any justice..she was fantastic. She has been working hard to come back BIGTIME and Whitney fans she is ready!

  • It's interesting to read about how people have these stratospheric expectations of Whitney, or Babs, or Mariah, Celine, etc. Like they have a cold and suddenly they "suck." Singing is susceptible to the same as any other physical activity: fatigue, injury, illness, and yes, aging. Voices change with time, yet still we compare these talented singers to their former selves even when such a comparison is no longer fair. Whitney is still a great singer, even if not the same as before.

  • Alexanadu, what you said is so true. Why do people expect singers to be super human. She sounds just fine here. God, people really get on my nerves.

  • yes i agree with both of you 100%...its funny that people only compare her to younger herself...and nobody else...I hmmmm wonder why??? lol because she can still rock the house and she was havin fun....she wasnt being that serious (in a good way) she was just having a good time....love you Whitney!!!! keep it up!!!

  • Soundind pretty strong! I want her to comeback and knock everybody out the box, just because. I love when someone triumphs and rises up out the ashes. This would be the biggest slap in the face of all the haters. We have no idea of what she went through. I continue to pray for her! I am cheering her on, no doubt!

  • i love that part when she says yells "WHY" on 1:23-1:24 lol i love Whitney...and one of her famous vibratto runs at 1:54 thru 1:57....i loved it...just loved it...gave me the chills

  • wow! she sounds good. this is good stuff.

  • well done miss whitney houston, i've been waiting for so long for her to come back and finely here she is, and yes her voice is far better than her first preformance in malaysia, and in morroco, and kazakstan. whe's way up there, and give her a break the woman ain't 20 anymore how can you expect here to act like a twenty year old. she's at the same level now, like back then when she left. whitney i whish you all the best and don't keep us waiting any longer, i'm saving all my love for you.

  • she s back !

  • i am Godly proud to see Whitney perform at (at least) this level again. Definately her best performance in the last, let's say, 5 years, or so. Gone Nippy!

  • Great Performance and I am glad to hear all the positive comments people are making about Whitney. God is truly working in her life. Even in her mid 40's Whitney still brings sunshine to the stage and astonishes her audience.

  • 100% DIVA!!!!!!!

  • Whitney you are a survivor for real, a true inspiration....am so glad you back, stay clean.. stay gold

  • Been a long time since Ive seen a preformer with this much talent and charisma, man she has still got it, and she it hotter than ever.

  • Welcome back Ms. Houston!!! We LOVE U!!!

  • Ms Whitney, vocals are really coming back i'm so proud of her. Compared to those videos in Kazakhstan she has definitely improved. Can't wait for CD to come out.

  • 'My people' (in my classic Whitney voice) this was a cell phone recording. How do u want it to sound? CD perfect or otherwise? I'm sure she sounds far better. But you have to give it to her, her voice is actually at the same level as it was when she recorded It's Not Right But It's Ok in 1998.

  • Whitney is not like her younger days but she is still much better than many singers today. Whitney IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE VOICE. Whitney is truly a great singer and the diva of divas!

  • Well am i glad to see this.

    Of course her voice isnt exactly the same but the tone is just what it was,perfect!

    She had a few moments of real good adlibbing too,too many people compare her to her glory days,bad times have hit her and to be as strong as she sounds now is awesome.

    Hate to do the comparrison thing but compared to whats happened to Mariah Whitney sounds great (and mariah didnt even take years worth of drugs.)

    All she needs is a killer track now!

  • can sumbody tel me when i can find the video of whitney at the pre grammys but NOT recorded with a camera..i really hate watching videos recorded with a camera cuz it always looks 100% horrible and always they moving the camera too much so i hate it..

  • U can't...this is illegal recording, the pre grammys is a private affair....

  • ohhh i see no wonder i couldnt find dat video on the internet NO WHERE..lol..thanks!

  • I m happy to see Whitney back on the scene again, doin her thing! She's not the way she used to be, we all can say that! But, if you think about everything and every stage she has been thru since Michael Jackson 30th anniversary, to now, Its good to see she still has some voice left, some energy, some more Weight on them bones, a new glow and beauty! She could have died! But she looks great and to me with more vocal rest,water, and training, she'll do great!

  • sad

  • sadness is in the eyes of the watcher

  • 38-40 run is so sick. Her runs can not be duplicated! Whitney is a trip!

  • her voice seems to have gone to a higher key

  • She's back but the vocals she had are lost. Hope she gets back to 100% Whitney that I loved.

  • jchriswest, Whitney is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME so respect her and leave the past where it needs to be..in d past> and i bet u look fucked up, talkin bout Whitney like that
