  • Whitney could sing 'mary had a little lamb' and it would be tha shit. No matter what song. RIP Queen of Voice.

  • Whitney Houston has a great voice and is a great singer but this song was butchered because the hack musician who arranged it thinks he can improve on Irving Berlin's composition. It's just disgusting how contemporary crap musicians bastardize the classics. Shame!, Shame!, Shame!

  • amazing

    

  • SING IT WHITNEY! !!

    "GOD BLESS YOU"

  • It's So effortless to her!!

  • Hey, that's Michael Buffer standing behind Whit.

  • This is the last time she sang well, the "whitney" way. It's such a shame she didnt go to drug rehab, divorce bobby, quit smokes, and all her demons at this point. If so, she would have kept this voice till today and still be alive. Indeed... a tragic life marred by drug and alcohol abuse. Ugh... :(

  • she tells an enchanted story with every song

  • Queen of VOICE!

  • Holy Wow

  • you are good

    

  • R we Rome? No our spirit is we fought for those who couldn't fight for themselves.

  • Let's take back our country from corperate greed and hypocrisy.

  • Who's said they're not forgivable?! What I said was they won't be forgotten..just anyone in the business who struggled and lost the fight..think of Elvis...Michael Jackson...just to name a few...you think their tumbles aren't always gonna be attached to anything good about them?!! Wake up and smell the reality of things...it's unfortunate what happened to Whitney!!!

  • @jb411000...what the hell are you saying?!! What I'm saying was that in reality all of us including YOU know what she had gone through...that despite her accomplishments and accolades her tumbles will forever be attached with them...that it's unfortunate that they will somehow overshadow her impeccable talent...so don't judge me OK?!! do you know who I am personally?! I don't think so...thanks!!!

  • The ONLY singer whose vocal runs were IMPECCABLE...although we can't ignore her recent tumbles...her VOICE will always and forever be remembered!!!

  • @roan398 What you are saying really is that in your mind the tumble is unforgivable. Well!! i guess you want to live with that ugliness in your heart finding in so hard to forgive a 'mortal man'. You are a sample of the reason why our world is such a bitter one.

  • no auto tunes, no gimmicks, no circus distractions; Just Pure Singing! We will always love you. TheVoice 1963-2012

  • @watchthisonetwo mhm with u man .. too bad music now-a-days sucks

  • I love you so much Whitney!

  • @flymarvin First and foremost, she is already dead. Secondly and most important, what you wish on someone else you wish upon yourself. You must have the self esteem of a peanut to make such a comment. You must feel worthless. If you didn't you wouldn't call anyone else worthless. To make such a useless comment shows your ignorance and shows that you are to be pitied. A persons past should be that. The past. Crack is no joke, it knows no color, race or creed.That could have been you.

  • OMG!!!!!!! Tears

  • yes no & I do mean no one can come close to it because truly it was touch by the master while she was in her mom womb ! and the bible say's return to me and i shall return you so she returned to our Father and she is now in her rightful place amen. yes we will always LOVE her ! but the almighty loves her most Jesus so he called the VOICE home God bless

  • We love you Whitney!!

  • Thank You, Whitney. Love your voice, your soul and YOU . I'm sorry you had to go now. We were all rooting for you to love yourself. Peace

  • We love you Whitney

  • God bless Whitney

  • May your soul rest in peace...I love you Whitney..God bless America..

  • no one could sing a patriot song like whitney !

  • Very well said.

  • R.I.P the star who felt too fast...

  • R.I.P. DEAR WHITNEY} GONE WAY TOO SOON, PRAYERS GO UP FOR HER DAUGHTER & ALL HER FAMILY. MY MY LORD SOOOOOOO VERY SAD

  • @ 2:52 Whitney looked like she wanted to get her groove on and take us to church with this song. Lol

  • I LOVE AMERICA

    America the Beautiful, I love you, wounded land.

    It's time for us Americans to make our loving stand.

    We'll fight to save our homeland and protect our liberty

    from those who'd sell our nation for a traitor's dirty fee.

    Freedom when it's dead and gone, with life lived as a slave

    in the land once known for freedom and the homeland of the brave,

    would be a loss so bitter that Americans one and all

    must speak out NOW for freedom's way, one family standing tall!

  • Star live,magnific cantriz.

  • CRACK IS WHACK

  • Comment removed

  • GOD BLESS WHITNEY!

  • THE VOICE!!!

  • @anjelheaven R.I.P.

  • Po thang nevr cood sing

  • YALL REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT YOURSELVES B4 YOU DOWNPLAY SOMEONES HARD TIMES, CAUSE REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE SAYS, SHES HAD MILLIONS OF GOOD DAYS, B4 SHE STEPPED INTO THE VALLEY. GOD BLESS YOU MY SISTER. WHEN THE TIME COMETH, ILL SING WITH YOU IN HEAVEN!!

  • I love the faces she made at the beginning when she was waiting for the music to start. She's hilarious. Love you Whitney!

  • WH012Vids: I know. I'm so excited. Whitney's back on the big screen, or she will be soon. YES! I can't wait. She actually has 2 new movies; she's going to do the movie "Get Happy", the sequel to "Waiting to Exhale." Welcome back Whitney!

  • I'm not American but I sure loved the way she sang this song. Is this a national song or something?

  • @cindylewis2 yes it is a traditional patriotic song in the USA :)

  • @NatureBoyPabbs Oh ok, thanks.

  • Whatever happened to her?

  • @jeapiat She has a new movie coming out!!!!

  • I don't like the way she sang it. Too butchered and the Hoooooooome crap at the end was a poor falsetto. Not hatin but this wasn't a good rendition.

  • this is close to sounding like one of her earliest performances from 83-85! and it's 2000!

  • she's so funny complete star and she did the end of this piece as it should

  • If only she could still sing like this.

  • Beautiful version. 

  • Whitney she's best of the best. Always smile, baby. Love You, Whitney from Mongolia. Good luck.

  • AN AMERICAN ICON!

  • I almost fell out laughing at 3:36. Only Whitney. Hahahahah!

  • @GTB7 its awful lol

  • @GTB7 lmaooooooooooo!

  • Again, minirola is a complete ignorant moron who probably is a rabid Mariah Carey fan. Maybe it's Mariah herself (HA! HA!)!!! He's probably is a closet Whitney fan who spends his free time listening to Whitney when no one's around. He's one of those people who hates on someone in public but can't get enough of them in private. And if Whitney Houston is just a BK Whopper then I'm heading to Burger King right now because that is a Whopper I damn sure don't want to miss out on!

  • First, why do people keep responding to minirola's stupid comments. He obviously is nothing but an ignorant Whitney-hater with no sense, so just ignore him/her. As for Whitney, ThePharoah is right. There definitely is a demand for Whitney Houston. She's definitely not opportunistic. Mariah keeps putting out albums every year (mostly of old songs she's done and mostly in years when Whitney comes out), which tells you how desperate she is to try to keep up with Whitney, but she can't.

  • mnirola, you are truly a moron. First, for every opinion like your's, there are TENS of MILLIONS who say otherwise. And if you and all your fellow Whitney-haters despise he so much, why are you listening to her? Go back to Mariah. Whitney is the greatest female singer of all time, up there with Barbra Streisand. And if she has "only 7 albums" and has sold close to 200 million albums, what does that say about her? It means she is better that even her most loyal fans are making her out to be!

  • To mnirola: What the fuck are you talking about? EVERY award is a legitimate award. They're certainly more than you ahve! She, along with my other favorite artist Michael Jackson, has accomplished so much. being in the Guiness Book of Record for being the most awarded singer ever is no small accomplishment! ANother is being the only singer to make the Star Spangled Banner a Top 20 hit and have her version inducted into the Smithsonian Museum! Mariah Carey has none of these, so STFU!

  • To MrStyle23: Like I said before, Whitney may have been on drugs, but she still managed to whoop Mariah's ass, so you're hateful comments about Whitney mean nothing. And you seem to have forgotten about Mariah's breakdown. I'm not saying that to make fun of it, I'm saying it because a fool/moron is on here putting down Whitney (greatest ever) for her past troubles and forgetting about the troubles another. And a Mariah fan like yourself should not be calling anyone a whore (look at Mariah).

  • To @llisag: Call her what you want, but Whitney is so much better than Mariah! Even when Whitney was on drugs, she was kicking Mariah's butt, so take that! I know you rabid Mariah fans hate that she's second rate to Whitney, but get over it. It's absolutely true. The list goes 1) Whitney Houston. 2) Celine Dion, 3) Beyonce, 4) Monica, and 5) Janet Jackson. Sorry, Mariah Carey doesn't rank with these singers. It's sad too because Mariah used to be good when she was singing about real things.

  • I agree with the commenters on here about comparing Whitney Houston to Celine Dion, Charice, and Mariah Carey. There isn't any comparison. Whitney was, is, and always will be the undisputed Queen of Pop. Whitney is second to NO ONE, especially not Mariah Carey (that's for the fool who thinks Whitney is second to Mariah. UGHHH!!!)! I don't see how Mariah's whistle tone puts her above Whitney, but whatever. Most people on here know that Whitney is second to no one! God Bless America and Whitney!

  • @hasting29 Bitch, GOODBYE. #DEAD at your giving me empty threats over the internet. Take a seat.

  • @hasting29 Wow....bitch, you are one fucked up moron. So because I found one moment in this performance funny, you're mad? LOL get a fucking life.

    Oh, and Whitney is my fav singer.

    Either way, you'll deal. 3:36 never fails to make me laugh, and there ain't shit that you can do about it. Off you go.

  • 3:36 never fails to make me laugh

  • She's just amazing! 

  • She sounds like Bettye Nelson Ransom with the Home head note LOL! Very operatic!

  • 2:08-2:11 Lord Nippy,VBA, and the Clarks best riffs and runners ever but Whitney beast them all sorry. I have heard Whitney do things with her voice most singers can only imagine LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • World, this is a american singer. I'm Europe and we love this voice, elegance

  • I miss this voice so much. Lawd have mercy!

  • so who won the match?

  • 1:48 to 1:54 - it like she is numb to her own skill; it seems to simply pass her by through her effortless delivery. There are things that just leave you stunned and that was one of them- wow!

  • @dagll I know that is beyond ordinary to be gifted vocally like Whitney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SPECTACULAR!!!!!

  • Amazing!!! :)

  • God bless America and God bless Whitney! Her voice and spirit were in full command here - so beautiful.

  • Check out the newly recorded patriotic song, "Freedom 911" by new artist "Joshua" feat. J-Kwon & Gino Green.  It will bring a tear to your eye.

  • What a vocal control!! just fabulous!! I love the head voices!^^lovely

  • No one around the planet '''Has to be an American''' to be good or decent.In another words:Decency and goodness are not an American quality exclusively........!

  • ALL WE CAN SEE HERE......... Is a beautiful lady, with a beautiful voice, singing a beautiful song. NO BAGGAGE Isk & Tsk Youyousova

  • Whitney will go down as being a true vocal legend, nobody can measure up to her finest years.

    

  • God bless America, always.........

  • @reina9442 Why is it that America is "blessed" by "God"? And not other nations?

  • @snipski0894 Because other nations didn't have Irving Berlin

  • @edisongreen Thats the best argument I've heard to far, as opposed to the majority from these religious types. However he was Russian.

  • @snipski0894 lol it's not. American's that believe in God care for all humanity-I think it really is just shorter/easier to mention America rather than God bless America, France, Ghana, etc.

  • @collegeri "God bless the world", less syllables

  • God bless America, always

  • I love her voice in this era, when it was slightly huskier and deeper. I kind of like her newer voice more also. Yet it is not the same, it is still like a vocal reinvention.

  • To Whitney Houston, You have a wonderful heart. Physical and mental abuse is a terrible thing. It is very easy to find a crutch to cover and cope with the pain. No one has a right to judge. I've cried for you and for all those who are mistreated. I love you and I pray for you often. Remember, putting all of the fame aside, you are a valuable person and God loves you.

  • the best singer this world has ever had......

  • So far Whitney Houston and the girl Charice Pempengco are the only singers know thats sung america's 2 national anthems perfectly and with patriotism ..

  • no one can sing patriotic/gospel songs like whitney....NO ONE! too bad she didn't do more of it.

  • GOD BLESS WHITNEY, FANTASTIC JOB....AND GOD BLESS US ALL...

  • I send her prayers and love, Black Life ain't easy no matter how much money you have.

  • @Morgainell  Black Life? What does her race have to do with anything?

  • @DylanM1205 . Oh, I think it does, the post traumatic slave mind, affects all black people, so you see her and Bobby imploding. not blaming , just telling you what I see everyday.

  • @Morgainell "the post traumatic slave mind, affects all black people," LOL what are you talking about? I don't have ANY type of slave mind and every black person has a different life so I don't know what you're talking about... :)

  • @gaylolful , good for you, I live in a community where you can see it. Not all show or feel physical manifestations of it, but when I see my fellow black people suffering from it, it affects me . it it does not affect you good for you. Read up on Post Traumatic Slavery disorder. for me it explains why even those blacks that are doing well sometimes(sometimes !! ) still seem to fall into the traps that the less fortunate do. I am always very happy to here when one of us has not been so affected

  • @Morgainell Okay....I understand your logic...

  • She is not high. You cannot have that among of vocal and diaphragm control if you're drunk or high.

  • Boobay!!!!

  • 2 bad she is high here but she had the voice nonetheless. This is the last time she sang well before she let the drugs take over. SAD. She must look back at these performances and piss herself with the drugs and Bobby Brown. SMH.

  • @mcworld999 please! what makes you think she's high? i don't know what's wrong with you guys. whenever whitney shows up there's always dumbass to say she's high. plus WTF are you talking about? she has made many concerts after this to promote her greatest hits album and her voice was just as good as it is in this video. she also performed at divas live 2002 and killed it. and she has done countless great vocal performances since 2008

  • @MrSoulshock4444 wake up and smell the fucking coffee. whitney has gone way past her use by date.

  • @77magenta: What are you talking about? Whitney has not. She doesn't have any "due date." I'm sick of not being able to go to a Whitney video without reading some dumbass comment like your's. It's either some stupid comment about her past drug use or some equally stupid comment about how some windbag doesn't think she "has it" anymore. If you have nothing nice to say about her then either get lost of shut the hell up. YOU wake up and smell the coffee. Whitney's back and better than ever! Go WH!

  • @77magenta STFU bitch

  • She is stunningly beautiful here!!! WOW!!!!!

  • God bless the world!

  • Never be an other Whitney Houston - She had it all the - Them Looks and a voice you can never stop listening to - Whitney Rules !!!

  • Whitney is a great singer. Her best work was with early Clive Davis. He groomed her to interpret music to tell a story but not to overdo it. Sometimes black singers tend to over sing a song to the point of missing to tell a story, esp with a standard like this. She has a pop soul that I appreciate, but has the voice to keep it classy, but not here.Interpreting a song is what made Diana good.Whitney is nothing like Mariah. Some of that came from Minnie Ripperton.Remember the pioneers.

  • I don't care what anyone says, Whitney Houston is the best female singer ever! There is not a song that she can't touch and another female singer that can touch her.

  • What soul, what power, what beauty. Whitney took us to church with this one. Amazing version!

  • @ruthlessin909 are you sure? she's good.. very good!..watch all her videos.. and you would know y people talk about her as a great singer..

    /watch?v=aJUg3wHoRIY&feature=r­elated

    must watch.

  • The Soul and Richness of her voice is just undeniable.... I LOVE IT...GO WHIT

  • @lalatyty07 She's overrated, affirmative action star, slurs her notes, overmodulates as is the black exhibitionistic fashion, and looks like a brown trout.

  • @ricvonzipper Oh please there is nothing overrated about Whitney Houston, the woman CAN SING....you can't overrate a person that has the vocal talent that Whitney has, its either there or its not. ...pleeeease nobody can "affirm" Whitney's action because she affirms her own and FYI Whitney doesn't slur her words she anuciates them in fact she is one of the few singers that dictates every word she sings very clearly. No matter what you can't take anything away from her vocally or musically.

  • @ricvonzipper Why don't you stop hating. When are you getting your record contract and selling over 200 million records? Do you think that Whitney Houston gives a damn about your criticism. After all, she's "Whitney Houston" and you are "nobody". LOL.

  • @mikelovesgod Dude,Dont let him Bother You...He is a LOSER..God Bless You my FRIEND

  • @mikelovesgod I don't know what the conversation was about, but earning 200 million records doesn't make another a nobody. Doesn't mean the one who does less is a nobody. If we think of things this way, Bill Gates is someone and we are no one??? Let's not do this. Now as for the performance, this is not the WH we loved in the 80's and early 90's. She hit "home" off key. That being said, WH has her place in history period. Celine's version is better but WH National Anthem is the best so far.

  • she got a good sense of humor,i love them facial expressions .... as i'am a very expressive woman myself lol

  • All that unnecessary modulation brings two words to mind.......crack and hoe.

  • @ricvonzipper but yet you're watching it

  • @lalatyty07 Yeah......I love to watch train wrecks too.

  • @ricvonzipper There is nothing " train wrecking" about a voice like Whitney Houston's. Regardless of what your opinion might be about her....WHEN CAN SING LOL ....The soul, power and range in her voice is undeniable.

  • @ricvonzipper Regardless of what your opinion may be about her WHITNEY CAN SING....the Soul, Articulation, Range and Power in her voice is UNDENIABLE.....

  • @ricvonzipper Shut the fuck up that performance was the shit! Dont nessacarily like the last note but she recovered from it professionally with that run she did!!! Thats my Whitney!

  • @ruthlessin909 whats that? you dont even know the difference of screaming to belting knowing that English is your first language, shame on you! Better take note of that and look for screaming and belting in the dictionary coz seems like you dont know the difference of that two words. Better make a quick review of your etiquette too lol!

  • I don't like this version..especially when she said: "huuuuuumm" I love her voice but I think she made a mistake for reaching this pitch..but I'm not saying that she's not good at singing..I mean she's obviously a very gud singer..'cause if she weren't she won't be where she is right now...

  • @helldollmaster Say what you will, nobody will never be Whitney Houston.

  • @CallmeXtina80 I know! She's one of akind. i love all of her song and thats a fact. But isnt amazing that lil girl can sing her song, knowing that whitneys song are really hard to sing in live? I dont compare this both amaizing singer im just trying to say what charice can do.

  • @helldollmaster Yeah obvious, I know Charice and I know what she can do and I would never say she isn't good because she's really a freak of nature!

  • @CallmeXtina80 2 words, whitney and charice are "truly diva" let us just enjoy their great performance and make peace love and better world.. ;D

  • Comment removed

  • Although I must say that this is not the best God Bless America. Far from it actually. She sounds great except for the last note - but the performance was just about that voice and not the song.

  • ,.So far the best version of God bless america was done by Charice on martin luther king ceremony in 2009,.

  • @archidexterous20 Charice sounded a mess could head with that. Whitney got the best rendition!

  • @kmaur21 Sorry buddy but Charice killed this back in 2009 in martin luther ceremony but whitney did a great job too , she made your national anthem an RnB song ahaha,.

  • @archidexterous20 Sorry buddy but Charice just did that killed the poor song lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • She was all like " MUSIC?! "

    Ummm, I'm Whitney Houston, I am the voice ... where is my music???! Yeah, thought so.

    haha I love her.

  • Sorry, mariah fans BUT she cannot touch Whitney Houston, not then, now, or ever.

  • She was off key from the beginning, but hung with it until that last note. What a pro.
