This version was good but this was the beginning of the end of her voice. She strains to hit the high notes as you can tell as compared to her earlier songs.
Well I think for myself. All I hear is a soulful masterpiece. This song has been covered by too many artists to name, but none have moved me like this rendition by Whitney Houston, during a torrid period in her life. This performance was pulled from the depths of her soul.
She was not at her best,so this version is far from what she could really do...! We have the voice of a mature diva,but it's not 100% Whitney. I'd like to hear a performance like "The star spangled banner" mixed with the sense of "All the man that i need"...! Celine's version is jawdropping.....makes feel too small in front of another divine voice !
A local radio station played this today as part of Christmas season format and maybe i had heard before and maybe i hadn't, or maybe I didn't really listen; but I heard this song today and I was mesmerized by beauty and I think this is probably my fav. Christmas song
@BernardProfitendieu Dont say no way. only the creator himself can say never. With all that we are exposed to i believe she can regain some semblance of her voice with some training. You can her in her live show that its still there somewhere.If it is to be believed then at this time she was on drugs as well. And if truth be told you can hear that her voice was not up to this.
Celine does this song better in my opinion. They do have different voices so it's really just a matter of opinion and whose voice you like better. Did not like Christina's version but Alicia Keys version was nice.
@anitabreakone You like what you like. It all subjective. This is the most moving rendition of this song, at least to me. She truely connects with the soul of this song.
@mikki78654 were you typing that from a grammar school playground somewhere? it's the classic retort of an 8 year old ... now go back to your hopscotch, little girl
Celine does do Oh Holy Night the best, but hats off to Whitney and Mariah as well! The one with her and the children in the church, best vocal i think i've ever heard to be honest!
@doobiusmaximus4real All subjective. For example. Celines voice annoys me. It's whiny to me. I tend not to like those type of tones. It's just a matter of what you like. I have yet to hear a version of this song that I like more than Whitney's.
leave whitney alone the people that r talking about shes on crack,so what cause most of u people that r talking is on it too.dont care shes the best singer and her version is the best also.
beautiful. such a rich tone, amazing. i like celine's too. whitney's and celine's are the best, just my opinion- they actually put emotion into the song, not just singing notes b/c they can. they highlight the song, not themselves.
Why do people fine Whitney videos just to talk about Mariah or Celine or anyone else for that matter? And vice versa! Every time I go to a Whitney, Mariah, or Celine videos all I see are childish arguments. No matter how you feel about Whitney, you cannot deny that this song is beautiful. Merry Christmas! :)
i am more fan of whitney but celine did this song better to be honest just because celine did longer higher notes, and it sounds more like a christmas song. This sounds more like a song that fits in a lovely pixar movie :D
whitney is awesome........but Celine dominates this song ..period......more feeling incoded within and phrasing superior.....merry chrismas to all !!!!!!!
@pausini20jr Cant believe everything you hear. I'm not saying its true or not because there is no way I could know for sure. There are pictures of her singing at the celebration of Gospel that was taped a few days ago. She looks great.
Is it not a bit difficult to compare Whitney to Dion... a relative? While Whitney did have the pipes once... they're not what they use to be. Sadly. She had it all and could have reigned so SO much longer!! Here is hoping that time will heal the abuse and allow her voice to be something close to what it once was.
@Chipp610 I agree. Whitney ruined her God-given voice with her lifestyle. I was a HUGE Whitney Houston fan. I even bought her comeback CD recently. Only God can restore what she had to anything close to what it once was...it's a shame really. Celine Dion however, STILL has the pipes and takes good care of herself.
Incredibly natural....no extension....the real thing!!!! Her voice is remarkable. I love you Whitney. You are still my number one 1. God Bless you sweetheart and that inspiring vocal.
We all have our demons! It just goes to show you that Whitney is only human! I love this woman! I've looked up to her when I was going up!!! Leave her alone!!!
@esteban55200 Tanto como la peor versión, no lo es. Hay peores. Ya quisieran muchas cantarla así. Por algo Whitney es conocida como "la voz". Aunque a su edad y por el daño que sufrieron sus cuerdas, ya no canta ni cantará igual. Esta no fue su mejor interpretación. Estoy de acuerdo en que la mejor versión de todos los tiempos es y será la de Celine Dion.
@GAPLEO1 tubo una muy buena voz perokamentablemente la perdio me gustaba ella y esta version era rara 1:32 cuando dice fall on ...le sale mal su voz estaba como muy arreglada llegaba a sonar robotizada
Through away her talent? Fell by the wayside? Please! She just went through some things and came on back. You're just mad that she didn't fall too far and now you want to keep her down more.
Whitney Houston's version is good, But Celine Dion version's is more, more, more mooooore better by far, orry but we must be realistic, the voice of Celine Dion is much more powerful than Whitney
@JellyFruitCakez Thank you, you are truly objective and grateful, but this does not detract from Whitney Houston was a really good singer but he must recognize that Celine Dion is truly amazing and untouchable in the interpretation of this song.
It gets me sad to think, that this beautiful soul, on earth for a very short time..who was given a GIFT who through very bad choices destroyed the Gift that God had given her. I listen to this in utter amazement. She was and will always be remembered as one of the greatest female singers.
can you hear what drugs did to her?? Drugs is garbage and I wish we could kick them out of thisworld. I want her voice back :( She used to be so gorgeous ... the greatest singer of all time.
Actually, the version of Whithney Houston is bit different than others, such as Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Martina McBride...
Every one of these is just a singing of a christmas song,but Houston's singing is filled with so much inner fire and passion, and she's making so good improvisations than no one of others do!
stop.... with your velasquez or your campbell... please... we are here to hear whitney ... there are few forums about your idols ... go to talk about your idols but not here, it's just for whitney. Thanx
If you like Whitney's version, you will love Wendy Moten's version. It's available on Itunes and Rhapsody. Check it out - you won't be disappointed. The vocals are very soothing and relaxing.
Celine Dion's version IS awsome! I truely love her !! ^^ Whitney Houston's version is just...so much perfect to me. They are both such amazing women :) The both versions truely touched my heart <3 I love them.
Oh yes! I did and it was truely amazing <3 I don't know how I could forget to mention her, but I did hear Mariah's version and it was very powerful ^^
yea. i love all three of them. they are all unique in their own way. They dont all have to belt it out in order to be great singers. Even though all three can really belt!
RIP Whitney.... :(
