The single greatest live performance I've ever seen in my life. Couldn't stop watching it, it was flawless. Her passion was incredible. The lyrics are inspiring. The audience was clean and mature. OMG I miss those days!
Her voice is stunning here. so fresh. and effortless hitting high and powerful notes. and done with such an elegance. Wish id been in the audience for this performance.
Najlepsze wykonanie na żywo jakiegokolwiek utworu muzycznego jakie kiedykolwiek słyszałem. Piękna piosenka, zjawiskowo wykonana z niezwykłą lekkością i swobodą. Myślę, że choćby z powodu tego jednego wykonania należy się Whitney miano jednej z najlepszych piosenkarek w historii i to bez względu na to jak dalej potoczyło się jej życie i kariera muzyczna, a wszyscy wiemy, że tych wspaniałych utworów, wykonań i momentów w jej karierze było jeszcze wiele zanim znalazła się na życiowym zakręcie.
one of the most inspirational songs ever, and what an unbelievable performance. Whitney was truly a great and I personally think we wont see a better singer in the near future anyway. LOVE THIS SONG
It is so good to listen and watch a live vocal performance than all the strippers turn musician nowadays. Watching Rhianna perform is like being in a stripper club. I guess she needs to offer the viewers something. Shame, Shame, SHAME.
even if she never sings again she gave us the standard of what a real singer should sound like no one ever sung like whitney and possibly no one will ever will this is a standard for the music industry!open youre ears , the new generation am talking abou,t that have no voices nor talent anymore.
very powerful voice............hope she get back her voice again....:( one of her best performance............lets just support her........we are not perfect everybody mistakes good she changed now........ill be your fan forever.....
This is a time gone by, When the music business was about singers who could actually sing. This took preparation and training along with god given talent. The singers today are a joke. Which is why the recording industry will be non existent by the year 2020 if they keep going in the direction planned. At this point, Kim Kardashian could be a singer and win a Grammy. LOL.
@Respectn2009 LOOOLs, where are the new whitneys, mariahs, aretha... every note effortless, not its about ga ga uh la la blah blah shit, this is real art... the 90 s were really good time for music!
calcon01, i totally agree, for a live performance this is is simply the best, i always show my family and friends this performance when they have watched the x factor and they all say it is chalk and cheese, superb
i've been listening and watching live performances for over 30 years now, i can honestly say that vocally this by far is the most incredible performance i have ever seen, she makes it look effortless and quite simply in my opinion is one of the if not the greatest performers of all time god bless you as you have blessed us with this quite unique and breathtaking voice.
singers on nowadays, are naked all the time, no talent, no voice, even having them both no such talent as has witney the one that let you shiver all along her songs, look at her standing wiith that amazing voice ,no need to jump and wearing nothing all the time, you just listen!
i think whitney shouldn't be described tragic..she's a legend and no one can compare to her vocally..and soul..no matter how her career ended she was definitely a success..for decades she was the queen..
napakagaling tlga ni miss whitney....pero parang hngmura sya...sa 4:28 ina mo...ina mo...hehehhe luv it!!!saludo me seo galing m tlga!!!!ur reall my idol
The truth is..ALL the greats are unique and incomparable,The beautiful Whitney,The remarkable Aretha,The mighty Streisand,The unique Cher,the lovely Mariah...and the list is as varied and great as their talents,ALL wonderful...THANK YOU GREAT LADIES............You have all given us such pleasure......
I LOVE Whitney. There is nothing like her today. This new trampy, little Diva-wannabes are just wretched. Third -, Last - rate vocals, silly, unrealistic bodies, and absurd dance moves don't compare to real talent like that demonstrated in this video. Thanks, Whitney, for amazing vocals!

the voice of ms whitney before is very terrible...and thats the reason why shes so popular in a whole world...but nowadays...her voice down to worst..but still for me shes still on top..love you whitney i really cried about this video...the peoples here were standing ovation,,,ur still the best for me!!!
Look man. I have never EVER heard of a better pop vocal performance than this. Perfect, and in front of an audience of musicians. What a performance. What a performer. Bravo!
aaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of my dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss oneeeeeeeeee mooooooooooooooooooooooooomment in timmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
OMG! Beautiful, when she sings it's like God sent us an angel to take our souls to heaven. Whitney's every single song is fabulous no matter what she sings. Bravo!
Fitting the song is called One Moment In Time. That what is was. Those in the audience witnessed one of the true vocalists of her genre in all time. Imagine to be sitting there. The night is long you are watching the highest profile performers in the world and then she comes out and the audiences reaction says it all.
i agree! i can still remember the first time i heard her voice, and this performance, wow! This was truly a moment in time to be remembered by everyone who hears whitney at her greatest!
See, when people try to convince me that other shit singers of today are better than Whintey, i just refer or refer them to video's like this...and if they dont want to listen to al of it just tell them to skip to the ending...NO VOCALS today can beat it no one.
@downsouthboy89 I could not agree more! Damn, isn't it perfectly obvious. I'm not hating but who can sing like this? Even the lyrics were awesome back then...
OMG! and people compare Mariah to her? Whitney is ridiculous! I have never heard a voice like this since! Somebody find me someone and prove me wrong.
nov 13 2009------whitney's power is rebuilding once again. how exciting to watch the return of the voice-one of the greatest voices in history. WHITNEY WILL BE PERFORMING LIVE ON THE AMERICAN AWARDS NOV. 22, 2009; AND ALSO BE PERFORMING LIVE ON THE FINALE OF DANCING WITH THE STARS LATER THIS MONTH. we all are so proud of you whitney. we love you.
The greatest voice of all time. NO ONE can match that intensity. Makes me cry and wish I was there every time I listen to it. Those in the audience should consider themselves truly blessed.
I was just watching this in the office and a colleague walked past and asked me to play it again on my pc speakers. More people came and I had to start it over.
I shit you not there was a crowd of people gathered around my pc listening to this on the trading floor of an investment bank. It's breath taking.
Beyonce is awesome live but when was the last time she did something like this? This gave me goosebumps through and through. I really love the fact that back then people actually sang! All you needed was your band and your voice. Now, no one sings a full song or there's more dancing than singing, or there's fireworks and fancy background crap and so many people on stage you have no idea whats going on! You don't need all that. You're a singer....so sing! lol
Obviously YouTube removed it just like they've removed most of the Whitney videos that had millions of views. Funny how this all coincides with her new album being released.
@lucasduff3 That's right! How on earth can the greatest live performance of all time have less the 8 million views? The passion alone is enough to make a grown man cry
So much the better for both Whitney and Mariah because they are very attractive women anyway. Also, Mariah sang incredibly well live up until circa 1997-98 when her vocals became raspy and lost the fluidity they had from 1990 to 1996.
I don't want to turn this into a Mariah vs. Whitney thing because it should be obvious that they are both very good singers. Ssaturn, I don't completely agree with what you said. Mariah is half white but I don't this helped her career much because she doesn't look stereotypically Caucasian (i.e. light-colored hair, light-colored eyes, square jaw, small lips, etc.).
Whitney vs Beyonce in a battle of the divas! Who reigns supreme? Come take part in this unforgettable battle - link to the forum (Vanity Edge) on my channel!
i have seen others versions of this son, but definitly she shows saw why she is the best, so effortless, so powerfull. She is the only singer that sounds better live than recorded. Liten 4:10 - 4;20 that c#5 and the eb5 are so beautifull, the las i will be free its to die for. AMAZING
Her voice was simply majestic in this live performance. The beauty is in the clarity and power of voice. She uses it as one would an instrument. The building to the dramatic climatic ending is masterful. This live version is IMO light years better than the actual recorded version. This is truly a virtuoso performance. Bravo, Whitney!!!
in this video. since mariah looks white, has the president of the record lable at her feet and can hit that high note, she was made out to be more than what she was. LIVE, mariah sucks. she gets tired and her voice isnt as strong. whitney their earlier performances. whitney always flawless. mariah starts all that riffing and running crap because her voice isnt able to carry it out. they used to use the word "LL a lot in their songs because its easy to belt. mariah didnt stand a chance back then
mariah carey was more than what she made out to be. mariah has that extra layer of voice that whitney does. whitney's ability to BELT for long periods of time and stay up there in that soprano was crazy. none of the 80's and 90's female singers could mess with her. why do you think whitney and mariah waited to duet in 1998. years they really started declining vocally. in 1990 mariah wouldve been drowned out. whitney just has a more powerful voice. mariahs voice was never this powerful as whitney
mariah has whistle notes....mariah could never do what whitney does here in the final............ with whistle notes how many have chills?..........let's have chills with whitney......
Mariah's whistle sucks, too. Lisa Fischer and Shanice Wilson can also whistle and theirs are much more controlled, especially Lisa. Lisa is like Whitney and Mariah combined. She could sing Mariah under a bus.
Nobody could sing LIVE as her, that demonstrates that she is a real singer. I believe that we should to stand out for her recovery and return. cant wait to buy your new album. Brave Whitney
fishand and colibri, The whole world knows the problems that she went through, I believe that in addition you must know that sheis recovered and soon we will have her new album available. Independently that her voice has changed of being a soprano spinto to a mezzo and I believe that today she is a contralto, but no matter what she is the best EVER.
She is the unique singer who sounds better live than recorded. The power, feeling and facility is perceived in every phrase, the last "i will be free" are to die for. The best of all the times
I will never live to hear another voice to match Whitney....Never... I feel honored to be able to listen to this video over and over....... thank you....!!
Even if she hadn't ruined her voice with cocaine and other drugs, her voice still would have declined with age, just like Aretha's and others' have. As we get older, our singing ability declines and Whitney would have been no different. The peak of her vocal abilities was in the first half of the 90s.
Whitney didn't start to go "downhill" until around 1999...by that time, she had already hit her "peak" and was starting to get past her prime. By that time she was a legend. If she had decided to call it quits then, it wouldn't have a made a difference. She ceased every moment she had in her prime and took advantage of that time. She couldn't have possibly done more. That is part of the reason she declined. She toured too much during the "Whitney Houston/Bodyguard Tour". Lets give her a break.
I don't agree...Look at Cher, look at Aretha Franklyn, look at Neil Diamond...Talent is talent...Age isn't a big factor in that regard...The great singers never peak, they just get better and better.
Folks, we are watching the 'Best of the Best' performing live before our very eyes. Feel the power, the intensity, & the emotion of the song that can be deliverd only by Whitney.
Sublime, Amazing no words to such talent one of the best ever !!

fishand and colibri, The whole world knows the problems that she went through, I believe that in addition you must know that sheis recovered and soon we will have her new album available. Independently that her voice has changed of being a soprano spinto to a mezzo and I believe that today she is a contralto, but no matter what she is the best EVER.

She is the unique singer who sounds better live than recorded. The power, feeling and facility is perceived in every phrase, the last "i will be free" are to die for. The best of all the times

I agree...Pity she threw it all away.

Even if she hadn't ruined her voice with cocaine and other drugs, her voice still would have declined with age, just like Aretha's and others' have. As we get older, our singing ability declines and Whitney would have been no different. The peak of her vocal abilities was in the first half of the 90s.

Yea, but still, it's pity that she went down that road...If she hadn't, her career would've continued to soar...I hope Beyonce doesn't go bad.

Whitney didn't start to go "downhill" until around 1999...by that time, she had already hit her "peak" and was starting to get past her prime. By that time she was a legend. If she had decided to call it quits then, it wouldn't have a made a difference. She ceased every moment she had in her prime and took advantage of that time. She couldn't have possibly done more. That is part of the reason she declined. She toured too much during the "Whitney Houston/Bodyguard Tour". Lets give her a break.

I don't agree...Look at Cher, look at Aretha Franklyn, look at Neil Diamond...Talent is talent...Age isn't a big factor in that regard...The great singers never peak, they just get better and better.

Folks, we are watching the 'Best of the Best' performing live before our very eyes. Feel the power, the intensity, & the emotion of the song that can be deliverd only by Whitney.

This gives me chills. I listened to it the night Obama got elected, which felt cheesy but incredibly right, somehow.

Not cheesy at all, completely appropriate, wish I would have thought of it.
