  • is my volume up...

  • how could there be any dislikes?

  • l glad you are finally home with god i love you even if i didn't ho u but god bless Ur family .i looked up to you thank you

  • I came in here with a headache and anxiety and 5 minutes later, I feel wonderful.

  • The world amazing when she was on this show, and many others. What an UNBELIEVABLE voice. I mean.... I just can;t..... ;

  • She really did go through a lot.. .even then. She had to kiss that guy on the mouth on TV why? Makes me think things happened that we may never know and it drove her through such a life as hers.

  • She is always full of such grace!

  • I just have to say Thank you for posting this! This is singing!

  • Wish she had remained young and innocent instead of letting drugs and alcohol solve all her problems. People, everyone can be learning life lessons from the deaths of these great stars like her and all the others dying from abuse. The heart can ONLY TAKE SO MUCH before it crashes.

  • she was very beautifull back then....clive sure was kissing whitney as if she was his girlfiend,he's old, she's a young attractive girl,i was just wondering if he ever had that type of relationship with her.

  • You home now Whitney Love Always peace

  • This is pretty good, but she should've shit on the stage at the end.

  • I thought (and I'm sure) it was on the 'The Mike Douglas Show' a local talk show out of Philadelphia when his show was on the air back in the day. I could be wrong. But how could forget a voice like hers? I can't.

  • @spotme21 It is the Merv Griffin Show, not Mike Douglas.  I truly miss both of these shows--it was back when TV was great. Not the worthless crap we endure now.

  • Such a beautiful voice. You could tell from this performance she was going to be a major star. I hope Cissy and Bobbi will watch this whenever they're sad bc it will certainly make them happy. Watching it now makes me sad. Too bad God plucked this lovely flower way too soon.

  • Simply CLASSIC!!

  • I wonder if Clive ever slept with Whitney?

  • the band's tempo was really slow and you can see cece coming in, in the back to direct the band

  • @shadowsofsmoke I know you not going to sit there and forget about mama Patti. Trifling. Don't play with me. Lol!

  • You're homw where nothing can hurt you Dear One. Now You can see from there how much You were loved here.  Until we are all together again on The Other Side, heaven can be graced by no more beautiful a voice than Yours.

  • You're finally home, Whitney.  We will always love you.

  • We didn't forget that name and we won't.

  • @Donnymac Lmao!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @MizzCDiVa You are correct by 100%. But God didn't put us here destroy ourselfs with drugs and alcohol either.. Don't get me wrong I'm not casting the first stone I just know for sure that it's somewhat insane to claim that God and Jesus love you and at the same time just keep on destroying yourself.

  • @boxingin You have no idea what God's purpose was for Whitney to be able to experience what she did. One hundred million addicts may have given rehab another chance after seeing Whitney. Nothing in the world is without the hand of God.

  • @2Basham1914 AMEN TO THAT!

  • @2Basham1914 Amen! Well-said...God uses everything for all of our good. Someone is a sacrifice at times...Well said my sis...So true!!!! Unknowingly, there is purpose in pain. RIP Whitney. She will be missed though :(

  • There was......Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Mahalia Jackson, Nina Simone, Josephine Baker, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Phyllis Hyman, Anita Baker.........and the last of the GREAT Female Vocalist.......Whitney Houston. We are at a End of an Age.

  • I was born in the year 1990.. Whitney was the voice I always heard in the 90's. She to me was the 90's. No one can replace her. I can already see a movie in the making about her life with either Jennifer Hudson or Beyonce' playing her. But they will never be her.. God Bless you Whitney

  • @9akashi Your mama is crying...for my cock.

  • good .... but i still like kathy from sister sledge version much better...

  • i don't know why someone with such a innocence and church background get herself to such a darkness that eventually destroyed her career and life. I really feel for her but it was her choice as she had said...

  • @tealeh2 God's ppl arent exempt from trials and tribulations. You never know what she was trying to escape...God still used her though and that's the bigger picture! She dedicated her life to entertaining others...

  • SHE WAS SANGING DA DARN THANGGG... GUHHHH HEADDDD WHIT!!!!

  • i dont know whats prettier, her or her voice.

  • AWESOME! but I thought this was Steph Mills song? is this the original? Well, they both sound great!!

  • There is no if, ands, or buts, you are number one. You will always have young girls of all races trying to reach the peak, but until then, you are number 1. You will be missed golden voice and lady.

  • Wow what an awesome talent. God bless (:

  • Amazing....we love u always, rip

  • WE LOVE YOU WHITNEY MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PEACE. YOUR MUSIC AND HEARTFELT VOICE WILL LIVE WITH US FOREVER!!

  • BEAUTIFUL WHITNEY YOU'LL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERD RIP.

  • This is where Whitney beginning to let all the people knows about her. Though she looks a little shy at first, her spirit of talent soon take over herself and perform the song astoundingly well. So sad we never see her and hear from her again, God bless her and her family!!

  • What a great tribute to Whitney's faith. She wasn't perfect, neither are we, but her faith was strong. Her body was weak but rest assured her spirit was strong. Cissy Houston you were so right to bring Whitney back home :-). She's in Gods presence now and singing with Gods Choir, there is no more pain & no more suffering, She's healed in the name of Our Lord God. Rest in Peace Nippy, We'll always Love You!

  • No u are not alone. Not at all. It's hard to know that Whitney was special. Everything about her

    was special. Those who wish to condemn are the very one's who need to readdress their

    understanding of God. In the end, I believe, one see's as one lives. If you live a life and are honest with yourself you know you struggle. God is not about walking a perfect straight line.

    If he loves you in light, he'll be with you in dark. She was the greatest singer. Also human.

    God called her home.

  • I still cannot believe I'm currently watching her funeral. Gone too soon...Rest in Paradise Whitney. You are God's own no matter what people say. They have no idea what your relationship with God was like.

  • Repose en Paix, tu restera la meilleur chanteuse que j'ai pu écouter !!!!

    Lover you Whitney

  • MARIHUANA Y COCAINA MATO A ESTA DROGADICTA

  • "Home Sweet Home" R.I.P.

  • very moving to the heart this video. she was so young! it's sad how she finished :(

  • She brought joy to the world. Made people want to sing! Pastor Shirley Caesar who sang with

    Whitney in "the Preachers Wife" said she has seen Whitney touched by the holy spirit and on the floor speaking in tongues. She has been FIERCE in stating no one knows how God works

    and she is Pastor Shirley is FIRE FIERCE when she says Whitney was/is anointed!

    Her work was done. Don't let the media and haters win. Whinteys presence lifted peoples.

    And that is what we all should be doing. her songs live on

  • I have cried a lot of tears for Whitney. I feel as if I've lost someone I truly loved. I am not a celebrity monger. But she was so disrespected and shat upon by haters who would show nothing but foulness and hurling judgement in the form of the most mindless and heartless insults.

    I loved her more when she faltered. I always saw her fight. Fall and get up. That is what I do.

    That is truly life. It has made me sick to see it continue after her death. But I know that

    Love will persevere.

  • @nosnayack I feel the same way u do..thought I was alone

  • @nosnayack And I have learned two things in my life now, love urself and ignore haters, and also Live ur life making decisions that are what you choose to make right or wrong, such that 5years from now when u look back u'd be happy that u made the decision that u wanted to...Wish u d best

  • I hope Stephanie Mills sings this because this was the song that set her off her career!

  • SAUDADES ETERNAS...

  • phrasing too slow.

  • *TEARS* Thanks for posting this! LOVE YOU WHITNEY!

  • What strikes me the most about this video is how innocent & humble her reaction is to the audience applauding her. She was so sweet:-)

  • its to slow to my liking!! dont get me wrong i ADORE and worship the ground whitney walked on but this is too slow... an dim not bashing whitney her voice cause she nails it.. once again!!

  • This is my absolute favorite performance of whitney's.

  • I miss Whitney so much!!!

  • One hell of a voice. Sad what drugs did to her

  • She shoulda played Dorothy in the movie... she was twenty times better than Diana Ross and Stephanie Mills, although both of them are also gr8 performers, their voices don't hold a candle to this beautiful angelic voice... RIP Whitney, the world loved you and will miss you, and we will always remember your beauty, talent, and love.

  • JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • whitney was the dawn of a new era in music, she provided the blueprint for all future beyonces, christinas and even mariah careys

  • That man who kissed her on the mouth is Clive Davis and he is the one who discovered her and helped her record her first album - they were very good friends throughout the years.

  • isn't this from 1983, not 1985?

  • @mollyandbenb Yeah its 1983.

  • I think people should just get off Whitney's personal life, and admire her talent. Because she had it! =)

  • "You won't forget that name : Whitney Houston!" - He was right!

  • Amazing at 19, wow!

  • I have never been a fan of Whitney. But one can't deny her incredible gift God blessed her with. This has always been my favorite performance to come on here and watch of hers. The climax puts me in a trance. Such a sad lost to music lovers around the world. May she rest in peace. Condolences to her family and millions of fans around the world.

  • the guy kissed Whitney on the mouth. I find this strange. First he talked how good she was and at the end gave her a kiss like that. This guy looks pervert. She could have been his daughter. Anyway, may we all bow before the talent and beauty that Whitney Houston possessed!

  • A true classic. We will miss you! RIP singing angel! =(

  • Whitney, a real Star and Legend..! it`s just respectless to write comments with this bad words..

    shame on you, crazy people at all places.. wake up or

    go back to your shit like Gaga , Beyonce & Co..

  • @RicoCoracao2011 i agree with the gaga comment... LOL, beyonce can sing, but she's nowhere near the league of whitney

  • The year was 1983, not 1985. I never understood her record label getting the year wrong. Really.

  • wow...can't believe that she's gone. thank you God for sharing her with us...thank you Whitney.

  • Wow. 

  • LOOK AT HER... I LOVE HER!!! THAT VOICE AND SHE WAS ONLY 21... "WE WON'T FORGET THAT NAME" ... NOPE WE NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL

  • @hoggyo3 She was 19. This was 1983 not 1985.

  • @bolder2009 I KNOW HOW OLD SHE WAS I WAS POINTING OUT THE BIRTHDAY MISTAKE... I'VE SEEN THIS A MILLION TIMES AND SEEN THE SAME COMMENTS ABOUT HER AGE... THANX:)

  • I THINK CLIVE NEVER REALLY CARE ABOUT WHIT LIKE THAT WHO WOULD STILL THROW A PARTY KNOWING SOMEONE IS DEAD UPSTAIRS & U KNEW HER 4 LONG TIME. I GUESS IT ALL ABOUT MONEY WITH U CLIVE HEARTLESS

  • this is from spring 1985 i believe whitney was about 22 here!

  • @TheBabygirlcrystal It was actually 1983.

  • You wont forget that name

  • Good voice? Yes. Weak woman ? Yes. Wealthy people don't "need" protection like someone stated (ie "i wish Clive would've protected here more") WTF ? Who's protecting Trump, Madonna, Gaga, Adele, Gates from drugs ?? who's protecting YOU from drugs. Adults need to grow a pair of nuts and just say no when offered up a line, especially if you have a CHILD like she did. Irresponsible parent.

  • This is how a REAL PURE voice should sound. No autotuning, technological enhancement, digital alteration, whatever else. Even musical instruments now make sound better with a push of a button. Real music died with icons Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.

  • @ginas913 PREACH!! I'm not even a huge Whitney fan but my GOD this is beyond beautiful. Her voice is right up there with Aretha's.I am so sad for her loss--her poor daughter:-(

  • @ginas913 Mike sucked after thriller.

  • Awesome chills throughout

  • *Tears* what a beautiful voice RIP

  • I wish Clive could have protected her more. He seems like he cared a great deal for her. But you can't protect somene from everything in life. She grew and made her own decisons.

    Just imagine if she had left Bobby back in 2001! "It's not right but its okay." Would have taken on a whole new meaning and sales would have sored. Most importantly she could also could have left that relationship with her voice and more of her sanity, intact !! and could have gone on to sing more beautiful songs!!

  • what an incredible talent she was....

  • The host or presenter was hit it on the mark....."Woah....We wont forget that name Whitney Houston" .....Awesome performance and so young as well...shows you the influences of her Mother, Dionne and Aretha...

  • So young and innocent...just a short 29 years later. Young, struggling with addiction and gone too soon. :(

  • ha only one million saw this? there will be more.... this is better than diana ross version... 10times to me. wonderful, bravo

  • she was only 19 years old singing this song better then anyone ever could. she was a gifted person that the world will truly miss. RIP Whitney.

  • Goosebumps!

  • RIP

  • Wow! Unique and powerful! Oh Whitney, you were our girl! Such a massive hole has been left in our hearts!

  • He was correct, we will never forget her!!!!

  • SANG IT!!!

  • its hard to think that I am older right now than she is in that clip.

  • @hollywoodboysa

    I have never read a more useless comment

  • @hollywoodboysa wow I swar i just said dat...pretty crazy

  • it hurts so much...

  • Brought me to tears. What a shame that she's gone!!

  • shes  gone physicaly but spritually she is here with us we will miss you

  • SOOOOOOO SAD BROUGHT EARS TO MY EYES!

  • Greatest Voice :`(

    I miss you*

  • She's had her mind spun around and around in space....probably MK ULTRA.

  • So, so, so sad. What a waste of humen life and extraordinaire talent.

  • @krisknud33 Where is the waste? I don't see it.

  • It's such a shame, but i'm wondering. Was it really bobby brown's fault? Because i know when i started drugs, the curiosity was there already and i found it on my own, but on my "career" as a drug addict, Many people introduced me to many things, I don't really blame them because i was seeking it. So it could've been anybody.

  • My goodness...Heart gripping :((( What EXCELLENT talent this young woman had...Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!! We love you! You are HOME now baby girl...We MISS you!!!!!!!!!

  • No one will ever sing the National Anthem like the way Whitney Houston could do it! God bless you for all eternity dear Whitney!

  • Beautiful

  • Makes me shiver when that emotion bursts out of her. Absolute. Shes a gift to us all.

  • @Palmason Was hahahahaa

  • Best female vocalist of all time, ever.

  • @MOONSIP2 I agree, she will be forever in our hearts.

  • On that masonic floor...

  • @ella5024 I was thinking the same thing.

  • @ella5024 omg...shut the fuck up

  • Look at him with his freaking Masonic black and white tie.

  • @ella5024 whats masonic

  • Heart breaking

  • Absolutely beautiful

  • There was a time Whitney Houston

  • Im in tears right now she will never be forgotten she was a gift for us to treasure forever. RIP whitney.

  • Over hea cryin cant believe it...

  • Notice in the background her mom comes up and starts conducting the band so they can speed up lmao....

  • As sad as I am that Whitney is gone, I take comfort in knowing that her music and videos will live on forever, so future generations can know one of the greatest voices of all time.

  • rip whinny

  • Tis is how she should be remembered at the start of her career beautiful poised and so talented.Icant belive shes gone im stunned we will NEVER See HER LIKE AGAIN. Forever Whitney.

  • :´-(  i cant belive shes gone

  • Her songs are the soundtrack of my life! RIP

  • Can't believe it's true...

    She gave her life to us, her music, her voice, freely. I will always thank her for that.

    She was an angel on Earth.

  • I will always miss you... RIP dear Whitney

    A salute from a Dutch fan.

    Dang told you so to stay away from those drugs pills and junk.

    Sad and angry is what you left us fans with.

    Miss you so much

  • Awesome! RIP babygirl

  • Rest now sweet songbird and let your voice raise over the heavens.

  • It's an ugly business. I mean son many great artists fall and nobody asks why. I am no expert, but I don't think drugs are the cause, they are just a symptom how showbiz can ruin a life.

  • @gotchewz well said

    

  • @gotchewz Ask Adele about 'the business'. If u have a good head on your shoulders, it won't wreck you. Can u really ever see Adele doing a line of coke on the bathroom counter? never.

  • @gregjeans2000 who cares

  • @DCfan4life Why did you check out the video if you didn't care?

  • @DCfan4life Millions of people--including you, apparently.

  • @thehotfive nope

  • @gregjeans2000 i could. You don't know Adele from adam's house cat. Who the fuck do you think whitney is? She never set out with the intention to ruin her voice and end her life. I do think she was an adult who could have made her own choices but NO NORMAL person will ever know the pressure that people like her, MJ, Marilyn, Elvis, and god forbid someone like Adele who is approaching their level of fame go through.

  • @hollywoodboysa you are right, half of us dont know half the things artist in general go through in the entertainment business

  • @gregjeans2000 OH SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT ADELE ALREADY U SHOULDVE TYPED ADELE NOT WHITNEY IF U REALLY DIDNT LIKE HER

  • Bye bye whitney

  • RIP WH

  • 49 people are homeless..

  • She looks like Alicia Keys there! RIP sweet Whitney!

  • Rest In Peace Whitney Houston. So sorry you had to go this way but so grateful you were here...I'll always remember the way you moved me with your amazing soul which made itself heard through your beautiful voice. Thank you Xx Love.
