  • It's so interesting to watch this from a vocal standpoint: Whitney though just at the end of her vocl prime still produces her sound mostly on breath support and is always perfect in pitch while Cece using much more muscle to sing sometimes sounds like she's dragging pitchwise.

  • \\ O // ALLELUIA!! We've got a bridge! His name is JESUS!! LOL!!

  • GOD's good like that!! LOL!

  • Whitney was going through and GOD sent CeCe to walk beside her ...

  • beautiful. more of the best singers? ¬¬

  • the two best live female vocalists ever. enough said. they are friends. they are humble. they are amazing. NO female vocalist today can touch them. God bless you whitney and cece. thank you.

  • @MrDTJones1 I couldn't agree more!

  • Comment removed

  • i would have loved to seee this live be in that audience!!! what a treat !

  • @voice8788 Hey! Can you change the tags of this video and put "bridge over troubled water in it"?? The video doesn't come up if you just type the name of the song!! I think it would get more views if you tag the name of the song!! It anyway has a million views, but it can become the most watched version!!! And you can also remove the quotes ("") from the name of the song in the title - just a suggestion!! ;)

  • ouch my throat is sore. lol

  • gives me goosebumps everytime

  • lindooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • Beautiful vocalists!

  • Whitney's voice peeked too early!...the smoking and snorting helped destroy her voice too. I love this woman so much! I wish her well, and much success in the future.

  • 31 people need to cross that bridge.

  • Thanks for sharing! Love all her duet with CeCe. Amazing performance!!

  • Ce Ce is a very good singer but Whitney is in a league of her own literally,just listen to that talent! truly breathtaking the way she makes the song not only hers but THE BEST!

  • I swear if Whitney's shoes weren't buckled on she would of kicked them off!

  • I WATCH THIS NOW JUST TO SOOTH MY SOUL LOL....AND EVERYTIME I WATCH THIS ALL I CAN SAY IS " WOW, SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!" I LOVE ME SOME CECE & WHIT...

  • That meritted a quick shout after such a performance!

  • This is Epic! I love both of these women!

  • THEY SOUND SO MUCH ALIKE IT DNT MAKE NO SINCE

  • @shieldssharon lol I was thinking the same thing.

  • un duo bouleversant ,émouvant,tellement sensible

    tout est sortie de leur tripe!

  • I love this. You cannot fake this type of passion, between friends, and I believe Whitney needed a true Friend about then, music is wonderful, but words are more important.

    I wish you the best. Both of you. Thank you for posting

  • My Lord! This is such a passionate performance. Love it.

  • When life gets to heavy return to Jesus

  • this video really brings deep joy to my heart when i look and listen to the words,they're not only performing but are having a conversation with 1 another pouring their hearts out to each as a promise to how they will be there for each other if need be,now thats real friendship,i miss seeing them together..Whitney was sweating and CRYING while being torn down by her conviction of her love for CeCe,lol makeup and hair ended up a mess....this is a timeless performance,keep one another in prayer

  • pure pure joy

  • I always loved to see Whitney,she the best , the good sing is she use her voice to sing for the Jesus , hallelujah Jesus will never let you go.

  • Beautiful Ladies!

  • The best version of the song!!!

  • @karan33774 Not a bad version but nothing beats the original...

  • @joehpool That and Elvis.

  • A lot of people don't give CeCe the credit she deserves. Her voice is so amazing. She is one of the few people that can duet with Whitney and hold her own. I love for them to sing together. You can really see that they are real friends and love to sing with each other.

  • too bad Whitney cant sing for shit now. stupid woman ruined her voice

  • @rustydevilll and your mother ruined her life when she gave birth to a piece of shit like you

  • @rustydevilll You are a disgrace to human race.

  • @SDPify

    and youre from serbia. so you loose 3rd world bitch.

  • @rustydevilll hahahahaha no, in fact, YOU loose. Im not from serbia, and even if i was, if you werent an ignorant little piece of shit you'd know that Serbia isnt a 3rd world country.

    Your racist comments only show how much of a dickhead you are.

    i repeat. you are a disgrace, and your parents should be ashamed of what a terrible job they did with your education.

  • BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER. can anyone sing live anymore? so much joy. gay or straight or whatever. God blesses music like this. so wonderful. whitney is THE VOICE. and cece is a blessing.

  • Love d chemistry between these two, made their version nice

  • Whitney looks beautiful and I still say, like Etta James, she's should do a gospel album of Southern Gospel classics. I'd love to see her do "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot".

  • Dat waz more than joyful noise ,they had the Angels catching the Spirit in Heaven

  • CECE IS JEALOUS!!!

  • couple of shouters...listen to garfunkel

  • love when whitney sangs with cece, there voices go well with each others.

  • THAT'S SINGING!!!

  • I AM A STRAIGHT DUDE AND THIS SHIT GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS WOW

  • @BADBOY0542 so you have to be gay to be touched by good gospel music? that's the dumbest thing i've heard in 2011.

  • @catchthisbuck I agree. It's also gay to watch Saved by the Bell and not say you love Zack. Or the facts of life and not say you love Blair Warner.

  • Why oh why are Mariah fans always stalking Whitney videos? Go awaaaaaaay! lol

  • There is enough room for both of the Divas, now come clean green beans you all are arguing but many of Whitney fans like Mariah Carey, and Vice versa you have to like the 2 because the styles can be quite similar but very different. I am a die hard Whitney fan, but I have quite a few Mariah CD I don't care what you say Mariah knows how to touch your heart with a song like Fly like a Bird, that hussy know she sung the stank off that one! They respect each other why can't you and stop this!!!!

  • Mariah tries to hard to make everyone like her singing, Whitney has no humility and that is why she is not getting her voice back. Mariah has a higher octave, Whitney has better controlled vibrato, the both can scale but Mariah scales in falsetto and Whitney can do it in her natural and falsetto. Mariah has gift to sing, Whitney has an anointed voice, that makes the difference when interpreting songs, the both sing with colorature but Whitney knows how to use her voice to make the hair stand up!

  • Wow, is this really necessary to cuss each other out over this, at the end of the day the 2 divas got together and did a song together and it won and Emmy, they have two different styles of singing, they both are altos, Mariah has a higher octave than not only Whitney but many people, I have seen her open her mouth and I think only dogs and dolphins could hear it. Whitney had a stronger voice, better vibrato and control, and she can scales better than Mariah lets just put the facts out there.

  • Just to translate for Criandonocaos. Europeans love this music and why not because it is beautiful. Language is Portugese

  • Are all these "Mariah" comments about Mariah Carey? Are you kidding me? Whitney will outsing Mariah anyday... ever.

  • What a soul searching song I know Jesus is a bridge over trouble water I certainly pray that Whitney look up and believe, Jesus loves her and I do too,

  • These are two of my favorite female artists. Say what you want, my heart goes out to Whitney. I don't know the trials and issues that she faced and why she made the decisions that she did. I know that God's grace is enough. His mercy is every lasting and it does not fail. The bible says that the measure you use to judge others will be used to judge you. Whitney had and still has a God given talent. CeCe as always is anointed and is a true witness to the Glory of God.

  • In my opinion, the only people on the planet that can do this song justice are Paul Simon himself and a black woman!! Have you heard the Roberta Flack version? Pure magic!!

    AWESOME ladies!

  • love mariah and she can hit some notes,but this right here is SANGIN

  • i love this,botw is my inspiration!!! #teamWhitneyEHouston

  • a voice only god can give #teamwhitney

  • i ALWAYS loved when Whitney sang with CeCe. CeCe always brought the very best out of Whitney. They look like they were having FUN!!! She had Whitney jumping at 5:01!!! Had her sweating, mascara running, hair about to come out its wrap!! I LOVE IT!!! That's SANGIN'!!!! i love Mariah. But imagine her sitting next to CeCe like this, just singing. She's technically great, but emotive singing is Whitney's forte.

  • @TheLanard You have put into perfect words exactly my feelings for Whitney and Cece. I agree about Mariah too. I'm a fan but she just doesn't have the feeling in her bones to sing whatever, mascara running etc... :-)

    Whitney is class.

  • @Menexpert Thanks for the comment. :-)

  • @TheLanard yes but after 1991, Whitney was gradually losing the vibrant quality of her voice (which she had all throughout the 80s) and you can see it in this performance in particular @3:46. Nevertheless, I give this performance a 10/10 :)

  • @TheMCLamb4ever She definitely started losing her voice around 1991. I think it's partly because she toured that whole year non-stop, started seriously dating Bobby, staying up all night on the phone with him, hanging with him, smoking weed and stuff, and not getting proper rest. That's when her nodules got bad. Mariah's voice started deteriorating around 1996, after she went on her first major tour. Her Butterfly CD was proof of that. Very airy, with minimal power notes.

  • @TheLanard Her Butterfly CD was very soulful (Whenever You Call, Butterfly, Outside are all powerful songs)...but yeah. I also liked Whitney's Do You Hear What I Hear Performance as well on Jay Leno - but I don't know why people considered the Bodyguard era Whitney's vocal prime though (when her voice became more raw I guess) neither do I understand why people considered the Daydream era Mariah's vocal prime (which was when her voice became somewhat thinner and less flexible)

  • @TheMCLamb4ever I totally agree. We're on the same page.

  • @TheLanard If sista aint sweatin then she ain't sanging, lol. Love her!!!

  • @TheLanard Gospel is Whitney's thing. Mariah does really good, like she did with Anytime you need a friend, Make it happen and lately with Fly like a bird.., but Whitney grew singing gospel, this belongs to her :)

  • @MsArembi You're right. Mariah DID do a great job with those songs. Those were very good vocal performances.

  • EU amo essa música é lindíssima porque não

  • I love this song especially with the two of them singing. This song blesses me everytime I listen to it!

  • Magic!!

  • How can people possibly dislike this song smdh people really need to stop with the bs seriously

  • such a shame whitney fucked it with drugs but i suppose fame goes to there heads and booom wasted talent AGAIN

  • i am repulsed by the comments on here. anyone who loves good music and vocalists saying all these hurtful and mean things? SHAME ON YOU. i love whitney. i love mariah. i love anyone who can actually sing live. so all of you who accuse them of drugs or being a "slut"...cast the first stone. and i hope you have no skeletons in your closet. that is shameful. you who compare and say evil things...well...seriously...li­fe is too short. be thankful. not hateful. shame on you.

  • best thing ive seen in awhile.

  • @ForThumbsUp She was on crack here.

  • this is a legendary duet!

  • Are all of y'all really messing up a beautiful performance with nasty words and unnecessary references..

  • Dang!!! These women are the absolute truth. Whitney has always said, if you can sing gospel, you can sing anything!!

  • omg this song hive nothing to do with gospel.this song is talking about witchcraft look it up on youtube

  • Good Lord... this is sooooooooooooooo strong.... goosebumps all over me...!!!

  • Excellence!! excuse the typo! ANDDDDD one more thing! we are going at each other's throat about Whitney and Mariah - and the Barbara, Aretha, Judy, Patti,Liza and Chaka fanas are laughing at us. They are letting us have it for being silly and stupid! They are are just waiting for us to bring one of their favorites involved- so they can RIPPP us apart! lets join FORCES because they are STRONG!!!!!!. Dont say that I did not warn you. They are the perfect example of being convicted!!!

  • None the less- leaving on a high note(for Mariah fans) she is LEGENDARY- BUT- ultimately leaving on EXECELLENCE( Whitney fans) Whitney captured a diverse audience way before Mariah and to compare them and make them compete is ridiculous! it does no justice for either. This is especially true for Mariah fans who think that battling for her makes her better. Whitney fans despite her unfortunate turn of events are convicted with her place in history and truly feel no need to compete!

  • First, Whitney is the VOICE! Second, CECE Winans sings down! Third, Mariah is good! But not GREAT! Many musically untrained ears and ignorant people will compare the two (Whitney & Mariah). However, Ms. Houston- hands down! Her artistic gifts of song was and is Amazing!!!. Mariah is a wonderful writer and sings her own songs beautifully. A dichotomy is only useful if it is true and useful- not right or wrong ( only the true musicians and the gifted elite will get that). to be continued!

  • @Eagle9255 You are a stupid bitch! Mariah's musical talents are legendary and they far surpass Weedney's! You should be ashamed of yourself for making this fucked up comment about Mariah.

  • @watchthesetens - Karan33774- Rocks!

  • @Eagle9255 Yes, he/she's on the rocks, just like Weedney.

  • truly classic

  • I love CeCe and Whitney, they are both icons, and brilliant vocally.

  • that is what you call absolute utter amazing talent , this is having the x-factor !!!

    if only we could find some talent like this on x-factor instead of the utter rubbish that louis has put through !!

  • whitney and cece are the BEST vocalists of our generation. and somebody on here that compares them to mariah...please stop that. mariah is so great. talented. whitney has said that. mariah cannot sing gospel or church though. she was not raised that way. so STOP being mean. whitney has had her troubles. mariah has too. so STOP. they both made tons of money and have great voices and hope they are in great places now. whitney is the BEST vocalist ever. mariah is wonderful too. STOP COMPARING.

  • @MrDTJones1 I see where you're gouin, and I'm with you but you made some incorrect statements. Cece is not the best of our generation....nor is whitney..maybe of their generations. Plus there are plenty of bettr vocalist(I'm speakin on the actula term) better than Cece(MC as an example). Actually Mariah was raised that way, she loves gospel and is very devoted to our Lord. And yes, Mariah has sang Gospel and church music and has went baptist on us on all occaions. But nice comment nonetheless

  • @MrButler124 You see? MrDT is just another example of people not understanding Mariah and trying to take away her talents.

  • @watchthesetens He/she probably doens't know about her like that, that's why I corrected them, respectfully without bringing down others. And he/she was just tring to say that MAriah and Whitney both are great.

  • I would have preferred to have cece with jennifer holiday

  • mariah carey is definately not better than whitney in my opinion dont care how much drugs she did she was still a lot better they could both hit high notes but i feel like whitney was better at the runs and stuff

  • Go Whitney am proud of u!

  • Who brought up Mariah? First of all I'm a major lamb, but I also grew up with Whitney as well. Mariah and Whitney are both on equal terms with each having qualities that they are better at then the other( I,e whit is the better interpreter, better improviser, better mid chest, Mariah better melismatic user, better upper chest resgister, better lower etc) But anyway this is a Whit vid anyway so why are other singers(other than CeCe) being brought up? Just unnessecary.

  • I brought up Mariah. Somebody had to let these fools know the truth: that Mariah is superior to Weedney.

  • @watchthesetens Why wold bring that up? I'm a die-hard lamb, but I am also musically and vocally educated and that statement is not entirely true. You perfer Mariah over Whit, I do as well, but As vocalist they are pretty much on solid ground with each other(well back then), now days sadly Whit doesn't have what she use to, which is alright, seh can still sang. But all your statements are making us lambs look bad and making others think bad about Mariah(the weakminded ones at least).

  • @MrButler124 But don't you see? They already think bad about Mariah. You can see the hate they have for her. They are intimidated and won't give Mariah her due.

  • @watchthesetens I do see. Those are called stans with no lives. I choose not to waste my keyboard on them. If they doin't give her due, then billions of other people will and do. Plus she doesn't need to prove anything to them. Look her at and look at those who persecute her. She's there and they are nowhere to be found

  • @MrButler124 You speak the truth. But some of them take it too far.

  • @watchthesetens I understand that, but there comes a time where we must "shake it off" and ignoring them unless they are truly being ignorant about somthing(like saying Mariah isn't a strong belter or doesn't have control of her voice or something stupid like that). Just follow MAriah's footsteps. She don't care what nobody say unless they are her lambs so we shouldn't care either. And because of your comments, people will now start talkin bad about Mariah even more.

  • @watchthesetens Get a life you Stupid Whore!! And get the fuck off of Whitney's videos!! Go back to your family brothel and suck on your dad's diseased dick, your useless comments are putting you to shame!!!

  • @watchthesetens Mariah is a drunk-ass bitch!! She lost her voice LONG TIME BACK and is now making a fool out fucking cunts like you, PRETENDING she's singing LIVE when she's NOT!!! And you're such a useless fucked up whore that you buy that everytime she sells it to you!! Mariah was never all that great singing LIVE, and now she doesn't even sing LIVE anymore. She's a FAKE bitch pretending to sing live and making a fool out of her fans and YOU go fuck yourself with a horse dick!! HO!!!

  • @karan33774 - You got that right!

  • Way to ruin a classic, you crack whore!

  • @damedoodie Hahahahaha! Let em know! LOL!

  • Oooooooo My GOD Tha'ts really amazing and OWESOME!!!!!

  • Both are great!

  • Dang whitney mustve been nervous! Did you see Cece tell her in the beginning "dont worry about it" while whitney wiped her own sweat off her forehead? Dang!

  • @PrettyTiaF CeCe says "dont worry about it, you're beautiful" because whitney's eye make up was running...thats what she was wiping....

  • @rayfur4 Bitch, you lyin! She was wiping that crack sweat off her face!

  • It's like some shitty sing-off.

  • @larrybud

    It's a sing....but id ain't shitty....no sir.

  • Went into Best Buy in '08 or '09 and all the music was well......uncategorized ~ could not believe my eyes ~ I remember it now.

    Peace,

    V

  • exelente

  • I have tears in my eyes.... just love it! Legendary singers... and friends! Wonderful!

  • 25 dislikes came from folks who know, nobody but Aretha Franklin can sing this song the right way! Nice try Whitney

  • awesome. wow.

  • the TWO BEST FEMALE VOCALISTS EVER. they give praise and glory and they are friends through thick and thicker. these women and their songs changed my life.THANK YOU.

  • she was prob trying to tell her something with this song

  • I love how their voices complimented eachother. Very nice match to sing the song.

  • You mean what Whitney was and used to sing like. She now sounds like a tired old crack ho. I know I seen her in London, she could hardly breathe and she was sweating like a pig. This is what Crack does. A damn shame too! As God gave her the gift and she didn't choose to treat it right.

  • @abfabinri And i saw her in manchester on the 17th and she was great

  • CLICK ON: disccentury, GOSPEL MUSIC, NEVER SEEN

  • Anything Whitney Houston sings turns to gold. She is unbeatable, unmatched, and undisputed. If you cannot handle her VOICE, go back to listening to stupid silly white boys and girls who undoubtedly stole their makeshift "soul" from the likes of Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans.

  • This is before whitney smoked her voice away...just sad!!!!

  • They destroyed the song. But honestly they didn't care about the song. They could have used any song and done this. Just a bunch of vamping. 3:43 Whitney sound like she is falling down a flight of steps, that's when I stopped listening

  • two friends singing a song and being there for each other. and...vocally stunning. i am guessing whitney took a cue from aretha's version. she grew up singing it i am sure. aunt rere. so a GREAT performance and great friendship. not happening in music these days. respect! love.

  • CeCe is going to need a very long bridge to get over troubled water as big as an ocean.

  • Who else is shaking their head in wonder?

  • @5450daniel Anything Whitney Houston sings turns to gold. She is unbeatable, unmatched, and undisputed. If you cannot handle her VOICE, go back to listening to stupid silly white boys and girls who undoubtedly stole their makeshift "soul" from the likes of Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans.

  • @u725674 Wait, are you saying that to me? lol. cuz, shaking my head in wonder is a good thing right? Haha i LOVED this performance. just making sure.

  • cece can sing. and she still love whitney no matter what. thank you cece. you are a true unconditional friend to whitney.

  • you know you've got a good song on your hands when all the greats have covered it, go simon and garfunkel :)

  • Oh man... when I see this epically soulful performance, I'm saddened by how much Whitney's voice has deteriorated in the last few years. You young gospel singers out there, heed the word-- be good to your voice and don't do drugs!!

  • GOSPEL GREATS!!!!!

  • Sry for my bad english...But all I want to say: Whitney and Cece completely dont care about who of them is better, because this isnt a competition. So all of us should do the same.

  • one of the all time best live performances EVER. just hands down so INSPIRING. thanks whitney and cece.

  • OH MY WOW

  • Whitney in her prime was the best, hands down. Watching this was painful. I hope and pray she can regain herself, the voice is secondary. Let's pray for her ongoing recovery.

  • no-one sings like that anymore.

  • @PrinceNippy Her career is below Mariah's because SHE is below Mariah. Simple.

  • @watchthesetens Wait a minute. Mariah is an established artist herself too. However, Whitney's career or even Whitney (just the name ALONE) cannot be put below Mariah only to the fact that Whitney Houston was already selling millions and gained lots of standing o's even before Vision of Love was written. #THATISALL

  • @jimdavis081 Doesn't matter what she did BEFORE Mariah came along, AFTER Mariah, she was useless and her career basically died. She has always been in Mariah's shadow.
