Whitney Houston- Saving All My Love For You (Chile '94)

[thelawyer06]

Blue at 3:08 is one of my all time favorite licks...so simple yet so genius.

[MariposaGirl1981]

this is a very sexy song huh?

[Undefeated92]

She's a genius.

At the beginning, she makes me get lost with that melody and her speech, so elegant, soulful, amazing and soft!

She's #1

[kmaur21]

The note Whitney hits 6:23-6:26 was disgusting and sick. She went from head to a whistle high 6:28 and then did a run at the end 6:29. Was smiling now that heffa the baddest

[bowiehs]

@kmaur21 i love how she does not sing the song the same way.

[kmaur21]

@bowiehs Yeah she never sounds the same

[kmaur21]

@bowiehs That note is retarded 6:23-6:29 I get chills everytime I hear it.

[TheHeavenXc]

the spot right at 6:04, so effing smooth and nice, and her smile right after cuz she knows how tight that was classic whitney magic

[kmaur21]

@TheHeavenXc You hear the whistle pitch she does 4:39, it so clear and fast, but the pitch was a whistle note. She is very cleaver with her notes and octave jumping. Very cleaver singer

[TheHeavenXc]

@kmaur21 heck yeah i did, too clean too too clean

[kmaur21]

@TheHeavenXc Lord that woman has done everything possible with the human voice from whistle highs to baritone tone lows, she just can BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mswilWonka]

how the hell did 2 people click dislikes

[kmaur21]

Them girls harmonies are ridiculous!  Nippy is the best and only sings with the best this is prove!

[2koriprgirl]

Wow... I'm just speachless

[kmaur21]

Thats how a true head/superhead tones are supposed to sound!

[kmaur21]

5:31-5:33 she such a coloratura it is ridiculous her abilities!

[kmaur21]

I love how she always sounds so different never sings anything the same!

[kmaur21]

6:30 that was her voice I think that was sick, her mouth opened. Wow she sounds like Minnie Ripperton.

[kmaur21]

1:44-1:46 I love that run and when she went low.

[kmaur21]

She such a coloratura!

[FromDreamz2Reality]

hhaha oh these were the days. When Whitney actually sang and her back-up singers only sang a little bit. The back up singers sing the whole song these days.

[kmaur21]

Whitney still be sangin maybe not as flawless like this, but nobody else can sing this way but her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[techslam]

Like I said let Frenchie Davis sing and people might not walk out on poor MESS CRACKNEY.

[techslam]

Like I said let Frenchie Davis sing and people might not walk out on poor MESS CRACKNEY.

[kmaur21]

@techslam Please you wish Frenchie could hit those coloratura notes here never! Frenchie could outsing the girls now but prime Whitney was miles better I mean miles than the singers even the best one's today!

[kmaur21]

That's her hair I believe!

[kmaur21]

6:27 she did Minnie Ripperton whistle chirp. It so high its hard to hear it. She is amazing.

[kmaur21]

Like that woman said in documentary she was blessed with a classically beautiful voice. How does she do that note 4:34-4:40 and then do a whistle like chirp. That is not human, and she sounds so angelic. It was so effortless. It hurts me to see Whitney now because she been through so much. I believe she will pull through it, but this Whitney I miss much happier and her true self.

[kmaur21]

@kmaur21 This so Lisa Fischer. Whitney and Lisa sound similar it is ridiculous both amazing coloraturas.

[sanook87]

i love the way she comfort the audiance..it s so warm

[tamiryardenne]

the best singer ever

[kmaur21]

5:31-5:33 makes Whitney coloratura soprano in her prime. Only coloraturas could do runs like that in head voice. A lot of female singers can hit notes in head and whistle but the complexity of it distinguishes a coloratura soprano from another soprano!

[kmaur21]

@kmaur21 I just realized she did another whistle like chirp 6:26 this woman is genius vocally. No one like her

[kmaur21]

Is that Whitney hitting that note 5:21, that sounds like a instrument. Cause her mouth opens right there as she touches the mic. I would not be surprised cause her range was sick in this era.

[kmaur21]

I think 6:29 was a whistle but its hard to hear it.

[kmaur21]

Do that note again Whitney 4:33-4:40 just ridiculous!

[kmaur21]

That for sure and what is that tiny note 2:48 for a second thats in whole other octave then that me in head voice. This heffa is too genius!

[kmaur21]

4:39 is another octave from the other you, it is hard to hear it, but it is another octave. Crazy!

[kmaur21]

Sure ain't but I think she could sing this song better than Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer Hudson sung, it but nowhere near as good as this, and I love Jenn Hud.

[kmaur21]

They don't make singers like this anymore. The lead to background vocals were perfection. OMG unbelievable talent from all these ladies.

[kmaur21]

She so fast with her octave jumps again 4:33-4:40 she octave jumps higher than goes back down.

[Daniel40501]

I must watch the videos and I love the way that she modifies the song  to each performance

[Undefeated92]

I live in Chile ... !

I'm so happy ... she was in my country !

[kmaur21]

Listen to this women phrasing its not very easy, livin all alone, so impecciable. This woman is bad. She has to laugh at herself how good she is vocally. I never heard a voice like Whitney in her prime.

[kmaur21]

Whitney should have sung opera, listen to how long she can stay in head, superhead, whistle. True coloratura soprano with ease.

[kmaur21]

5:22-5:33 who would think of inflections like that but Whitney. OMG this woman is vocally from another planet.

[kmaur21]

Her head and superhead tones are just flawless. The only singers that are like her are Minnie, Jean Carne, Lisa Fischer with that ability. Whitney's is more operatic and polished with her vibrato.

[kmaur21]

Whitney did this chirp 4:39 that incredible how she does that high pitch after going in head so quickly!

[kmaur21]

I wish I was in Argentina this day. You have to understand music, octaves, and vocals to appreciate this performance. It is very genius like vocally!

[kmaur21]

I always wanted Lisa Fischer to sing back up for Nippy. I think Lisa and Whitney would have excellent chemistry vocally both being high sopranos!

[kmaur21]

Olivia and Patti and that other girl harmonies are so blended. All them heffas can sing their tail off. Whitney and these ladies were the truth this era

[joeyjoeyjoejoe23]

kain121...your SO RIGHT!

id give anything to be able to go back in time and been born about 20 years earlier to really appreciate them live!!!

I <3 WHITNEY IDAT X

[kmaur21]

Whitney is from another planet 6:23-6:29 who can do that run in head voice besides Nippy? That is sick!

[kmaur21]

That is one sangin heffa right there!

[LeeLee0327]

she was a beast on this tour

[kmaur21]

Sure was!  Every world tour she beast out vocally and do things you would never imagine. I love all Whitney tours even her bad days cause it shows she is human

[kmaur21]

I love her mix voice 5:30-5:31 excellent vocal technique and a true coloratura soprano!

[raberyleti]

Man this woman can sing. When she first came out, I simply wanted to be like Whitney Houston. Man she can sing. She's still my favorite.

[kmaur21]

That run in head is so amazing 4:39-4:40 only Whitney true coloratura soprano!

[kain121]

This is really great. Although, i do prefer her singing this when the song came out i.e. the David Letterman performance and Joan Rivers performance.

She's still so many thousands of leagues ahead of today's crappy "vocalists" though.

[kmaur21]

You guys should hear the 1997 Tapei rendition and Japan 1997. Whitney took this pop song, and sung it like a jazz song, with so complex runs and high notes. It ridiculous how she can intrepret her own songs so differently!

[sugamoma8]

just beautiful

[kmaur21]

Her head voice so operatic and beautiful!

[Ty2phine]

wow, forgot this lady could sing her face off.......and why do people by Keyshia Cole,Mary, Debra cox and all these others when this woman sings like this?

[kmaur21]

Prime Whitney was such a polished singer it is sick. She could have easily done opera and classical music. She should have been a vocal coach. She would have still kept most of her voice that way! I know she regaining it little by little!

[Ty2phine]

u know what's sad, that recent Clive Davis performance she did, it was sad, no notes, not on key, "THE VOICE" was raspy, she had such a gift. and from what i heard, it was really sad

[kmaur21]

It was not that bad. I thought the IWALY intro was so angelic, she lost her way I believe and you in me, and then she ripped INRBIO. She should have left I'm Everywoman knowing that she did have her upper register to belt. She would have been fine if she sung something easy after IWALY like MLIYL. She needed to warm up I think!

[Ty2phine]

she looked great, the voice was horrid, shocked. not cool. she should have not performed if she was not vocally ready.

[kmaur21]

I love that inflection 4:40. I love how she does that smile a little bit.

[kmaur21]

Her musical ear is genius!

[kmaur21]

Listen to her diction, and power. Saving My Love 4:20, thats what sets her part. She is a genius vocally! She knows how to use the voice.

[kmaur21]

Top notch sopranoist!

[kmaur21]

Also I think Whitney is being lazy vocally for all the years she has given her all. She probably feels like I have nothing to prove and I don't care right now. Trust when she ready she will show the girls I thing a two about singing.

[Ty2phine]

industry people say she is very lazy, she's content. people keep pushin her to sing. maybe she's tired of singing, thousands of performances later and bobby's bullshit, she might be worn out. maybe she wants to enjoy the rest of her life.

[kmaur21]

I agree with that statement. She just wants to enjoy life and there is nothing wrong with that! The only dilema is she signed that contract. I think really Whitney should have retired and then came back when she really wanted too like Anita!

[Ty2phine]

now, i must say, seeing Anita Baker ROCK that bet special and sound so good, was incredible. She's passionate about singing, and even thou she may not record as much, she always tours....Whitney just doesn't.

[kmaur21]

The baddest diva to touch a mic that for sure!

[kmaur21]

Yes, she is lazy and I very much think she still has her voice. There is no way in hell I going to believe that much voice Whitney had she does not have any of it or close to it. Whitney is not using her instrument, and being lazy vocally thats all!

[Ty2phine]

it's weird listening to All at Once, Saving all my love, Greatest Love of all or IWALU and then listening to You Light Up my Life or Try it on my own......sounds like two different voices all together. The american public loves Whitney Houston, and we want her to regain her throne.

[kmaur21]

6:28-6:29 is genius. I never heard any singer do a inflection like that in head voice. Man nobody got nothing on Whitney vocally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmaur21]

4:34-4:40 only Whitney angelic voice can produce a soprano note like that..................

[Ty2phine]

Honestly, I like Mariah Carey More, she just gives and gives and gives. But Vocally Whitney Houston is the greatest vocalist of our time, I have NEVER heard any chick hit those long hard notes like the end of Greatest Love of All or One Moment in Time...her songs are classics, today's music, vocalist don't compare to her perfection of a voice.

[kmaur21]

Yes, I agree to extent. MC does tend to show more effort in her gift than Whitney. But Whitney is definitely more vocally talented and definitely could do anything she wanted with her voice in her prime. I believe Whitney in time will regain her passion for singing.

[kmaur21]

Whitney will always be my favorite even if she does not come back. My Lord, this woman has already done everything possible with the human voice. Like a reviewer said in 80's she in her prime can sound as smooth and angelic as Minnie Ripperton, to sounding ruff and hard like Chaka. Nippy vocally is just eight wonder with unlimited range and power.

[kmaur21]

Listen to the harmony in the background. Olivia McClurkin and the other background singers were the best in that era. Man them women can harmonize. Saving all my love........... harmony is so tight.

[qwerty35313]

Olivia passed last year and Whitney was at the funeral.

[kmaur21]

All them heffas are bad. Whitney and her background singers!  Wow those were the days when singers could sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[sugamoma8]

no one is better than she nooooo one!!!!!

[sugamoma8]

her inflections are the best she is the only to think of that!!!!! my idol and inspiration

[kmaur21]

Her soprano is so so high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[suthunmusicent]

Beautiful Self Control!

[htrfdes]

So nice I had to come back twice!

[htrfdes]

Just gorgeous!!! Oh baby-girl! Where you been? I love you so much Whitney! You got me across soo many hurdlesssss, with your voice!...!....You have a gift Whitney! Use it!! Its time....Baby-girl its time.!.

[navigator012007]

All I Can Say is OMG!

[kmaur21]

Performances like these makes me fall even more in love with Whitney's angelic soprano. I swear she was blessed with an angelic soprano voice. None like it!

[thelawyer06]

Her background vocalists are amazing as well!

[kmaur21]

I know there the baddest female background singers I heard. Cissy probably was instructing them and giving them tips!

[kmaur21]

Thelawyer06 the background singers in this clip are the baddest I ever heard. Along with Whitney's background singers IYBT era. They were bad as well.

[kmaur21]

That note 6:23-6:29 is so beautiful!

[kmaur21]

Her angelic first soprano days!

[prettykiray]

i love this version!!!!! i love whitney!!!! my idol THE VOICE!!!!! i love her so much

[boyig282]

Cara, que apresentação de tirar o folego

eh concerteza uma das melhores apresentações de Whitney.

Meu como eu amo essa mulher!

Linda linda linda!

Agradeço a Deus por apresentções desse porte e espero ansiosamente por muitas outras

I'll Always Love You!

Forever forever

[kmaur21]

That was incredible how she does the You.... and then chirps this oh....... 4:39 in superhead voice like that. That part is in sixth octave at least. Her transitions in registers is incredble.

[kmaur21]

This woman is a true sopranoist. This woman is so opera trained it is sick!

[kmaur21]

Dramatic coloratura soprano! Amazing!

[kmaur21]

Whitney is using her coloratura soprano in this song. You hear hear do the for you............. and then do this high whistle/superhead chirp at the end. Amazing inflections in head and superhead voice. I never heard anything like it.

[kmaur21]

4:39-4:40 is so Minnie Riperton. That was definitely one of Whitney influences I can hear in some her runs and inflections in different octaves!

[jetit]

I need this Dvd..wow how has this?

[tutoo1234]

Que lindo no? y estube ahí!!

[kmaur21]

How high does she go 2:22-2:23? at the end of do oh oh.....

[MariposaGirl1981]

@kmaur21 well the "youuuuuuu" is a E5

[kmaur21]

@MariposaGirl1981 No the end end pitched she does at the end she always jumps a octave or two 4:39. She starts the note E5 cause thats how she recorded, but she jumps an octave in her live at the end of the You's if she feelling like it. She has done that for years. She would either do the full note as You E5, or Start the note E5 and jump to the next octave or higher. She is very clever with her register transitions she so fast that most can even tell she jumped an octave or so.

[kmaur21]

@MariposaGirl1981 She does the same thing 6:26 starts e5/f5 in head in does a superhead/whistle pitch briefly 6:26 and brings it back to head. The lady is the most clever singer who ever had a mic.

[kmaur21]

Nippy always starts her notes a certain way jumps the octave. She is not unmusical like Mariah. Mariah would just hit the E6 without hitting the octave before. Whitney always jumps octaves with musical purpose she is a pianoist, so by ear she knows what notes to hit, and what octave to jump naturally!

[kmaur21]

Whitney is so good she directs her singers, band etc, what note to play etc. She said from the onset my band and singers sing for ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So really the arrangement you hear for the most part live is the way she wanted to sing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chrizmooo]

THIS IS THE BEST RENDITION OF SAVING ALL MY LOVE FOR YOU, WITHOUT A DOUBT! I'm a huge Whitney fan, I have seen every version of this song and this THE BEST. I can't stress it enough...

[kmaur21]

You have to hear Japan 1986 version and Spain 1991. Amazing live. Her soprano was so so so high in Japan 1986, she was singing lyric coloratura soprano there.

[Chrizmooo]

I know what you mean, cuz I've heard them as well... But it's something about this one, I don't know, not the technique, but the feeling. Maybe it has to do with her intro talk, she just seemed to be really at ease and really into the atmosphere in Chile. It touches me, the first time I heard it, I started crying LOL It'll remain my favorite

[ari505]

ohhhhh la verdad es que no tenia ni idea de que ella había venido a chile

[kmaur21]

Whitney is so much a opera singer! Truely operatic!

[gemini8816]

sing whitney! she sounds amazing!
