No auto tunes, no gimmicks, no circus distractions; Just pure Singing! THE VOICE we will always love you. 1963-2012

[Kreamluv20]

I'm sooo glad that I lived in the Error of Whitney Houston. I'm only 24 but she was always number 1 in my eyes and will ALWAYS be number 1. She was The Voice and she will always live on inside of me S.I.P Whitney 33

[1blessedONE]

woooow..where does this woman pull this kinda stuff from? you kno her professional career may not have been gospel.. but there is definitely something spritual when she sang..she has a gift from GOD period..hearing her voice is without a doubt a blessing.

[wehb1]

She sang the hell out of that song. You can clearly tell that she was really in love with him. She poured her out her soul.

[JefriLibra]

Oh My God!

She killed that song left right and center! And so effortlessly without any straining at all.

Beyond bewilderment and admiration.

Aretha is the queen of soul but Whitney is the over all queen

[right2remain]

Whitney is the true Queen of Soul... Don't y'all forget it. Read my lips.... QUUUUEEEENNNN OF SOUL!

[thelangel]

Wow!! What an amazing performance! He makes me sick too. When she was singing "Oh baby look at what you've done to me"..I couldn't help thinking " yeah look at what HE HAS done to you"..Our Beautiful Sweet Whitney :(

[kokumusicismylove]

Her rendition is INCREDIBLE...she made it her own. I am just sad that bobbi treated her so badly...i love whitney, celine, aretha and any one else who has a stab at trying to sing such an amazing song...you make me feel ...thank you to the poster...xx

[AndrewMcy]

she's the Best for this Song!!always

[kimchi010708]

a breath of fresh air ... as always..

[navigator012007]

I think she is the greatest, and HE makes me sick!

[thelangel]

Couldn't agree with you more! He makes me SICK too. When she was singing 'Oh baby look what you've done to me".....I just couldn't help but thinking..."Yeah and look what HE HAS done to you" Our Beautiful Sweet Whitney.

[deeteetwo]

She could sing the phone book and sound better than everyone. Damn, this is an outstanding cover of this song.

[mzsandy1023]

LOL lemon, you cracked me up. Whitney is amazing, that voice is like no other.

[kmaur21]

Her Vocal Range is sick!!!!!!!!!!! Sing Whitney!

[kmaur21]

Whitney range is sick!!!!!!

[lemons82]

awesome!!! but that wig seems to have a life of it's own.

[Kween33]

Woow Whitney!! its the best cover i've ever heard. Dedicating this song to her husband is just so beautiful and sad at the same time knowing how bad this man has treated her through the years, beating her! he doesn't deserve her at all!

[Nippybabi]

damn she made me cry!

[seldenkid]

I always knew Whitney was great but to cover an Aretha song so well. she must be Aretha's heir. This is one of the best covers ever

[itsstilljustme]

Nicely sung indeed but it's not an Aretha franklin song....it's a carole King song.

[donidoni1111]

I could not agree more!!!! He is a ass, scum, life detroyer Fuc*&%#.

I hope he burns in hell

[gregzintx]

OH YES- Whitney has the song down. The music, horns ect are FLUID GOLD, Just like WITNEYS VOICE.

LOVE AND THANKS,GREG

[jovymemo]

Whitney has good reputation for her improvising skill. This performance has brilliantly proven her natural talent for singing improvisation. Though there are some divas who can sing this song sweet and nice but I think Whitney's performance of this song is truly captivating and one of a kind.

[Berjacks]

WOW!!!! Whitney.

[cidamed]

She is the best of the bests!

[itsmecaro]

Each artist interprets it a little differently. They are all amazing though! We cannot compare! It's like comparing oranges and apples! They are both really great fruits just..difr

ent!

[reesie1983]

u explained that so good for all the people that be comparing good singers with each other

[prettykiray]

love you whitney forever!!!!!! NIPPY is back !!!!! nippy is back!!!!! THE VOICE IS BACK!!!!

[KingMyron23]

fantastic....

just seat down n enjoy aight!

stop being a smart ass!!

[free2bfierce]

Ok... you said "NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS" yet people are bashing the hell out of Celine Dion who is VERY talented and my favorite (many others too).

[CutiKaCi]

when i said no "negative" comments i not only mean comments about whitney but no artist at all. i think that celine dion is a wonderful artist and i dont think it is fair that people leave negative comments about either her or whitney.......

[Tweetspirit]

I am speechless. This rendition is outstanding and its not even comparable. Each artist is special and has their own creation of the song. Peace!

[easttech2008]

whitney was not high she was just tired ecuase she had been performing for nearly 2 hours

[DJSR3D]

whitney sang that song..clearly, she kilt it..funeral tomorrow at 3

[yodavidnavarro]

No one sings that song as Aretha! Be respectfull with the Queen.

[pacoypucca]

This was in Brazil I was there

[IQEllis]

Better than the original AND Aretha's version.

[SouEuMesmoMarcoCruz]

No, this is not the best version! She changed the song a lot and gave it flat notes at several points. But I do like her voicer a lot. I think Celine's version is better and more challenging vocally speaking.

[jgoins12]

celine's version of this song is is good but she does not have soul in her voice when she sings this song when you sing this song you have to put your heart and soul in it that what makes this song sound so good when whitney sings it becouse she put her heart and soul into it and celine version sound like shit how dare she sing and not show respect by putting soul  in it but whitney's version is not the best but it a whole lot better than celine version

[azahwa]

I felt that way about "river deep mountain high"

tina turner blew it out of the water. hands down

then celine just ruined it with her cover

but u should listen to carole kings version. shes the one who made the song for aretha

its just her and the piano, snd even though she doesnt have "soul" her heart and soul is oured out in the song.

its beatiful!

[free2bfierce]

Please respect Celine and the author of THIS page! He said NO negative comments and yet you just said Celine's rendition sounds like "shit"! That was uncalled for! A simple "I like Whitney's version better" would have sufficed. We are all entitled to our honest opinion, but remember "consideration" is also important!

[CutiKaCi]

yea i agree with you totally except im a SHE lol :) :) :)!!!

[njharris27]

lawd ha' mercty!!! She sholl did sang the hell outa that!! I know they made love that night!!! u know (at that point) she really loved him!!!

[navigator012007]

She does an excellent job on the song, but it makes me cringe to think that she is directly singing to that scum bucket!

[simoneua]

excepcional!!!

[MrStyle23]

The only person that comes close to putting the soul into this song is Whitney...I mean of course I'm comparing her to the one and only Queen of Soul and Empress of Music Aretha Frankllin.

The Voice though did her thing!

[ladydeehat]

Whitney - get it togethere girl!!

You have so much to offer!!!

Wonderful voice!!!!!!

[Kratos8462]

The order for the best person singing this song goes, Aretha Franklin,Whitney Houston,and Celine Dion.

[music42lover]

in my opinion it is:

1. Whitney Houston

2. Kelly Clarkson

3. Patti Labelle

4. Aretha Franklin

5. Celine Dion

[azahwa]

ummm you guys kinda forgot the composer herself, carole king

she doesnt do runs or anything, but its so pretty

i love whitney, and aretha, i looove soul

but carole king just made the song hers

[abelevine]

THEGREATESTSOULSINGER...you are very ignorant to put Aretha Franklin down like that. Whitney is my favorite singer as well. But Whitney aspired to sing like and grew up on Aretha's music. You need a little bit of R*E*S*P*E*C*T...because you definitely lack that quality

[iPrometheusQ]

This Version is far better than aretha's version also because of the different arrangement. The sad thing is, that she sings it for this fucking ugly women-beater Bobby Brown!

[TheQueenAretha]

Whitney did a great job but she didn't sing it like the Queen.

[babylee69]

great performance

[enini83]

Sorry, but Whitney can't beat Carole King's version. This one is too cheesy for my taste. Although fo a live cover it's okay I suppose.

[Dmimima]

wow.

[rascal101bird]

Whitney Houston is the best!

[SJB2691]

Se looks bad... but her voice still the best!!

[lonesomelis]

Oh. My. God. What happened to her...

[killamario64]

she did a good job high or not . stop critizing people and look for a job that is paying what whitney has in the bank because the truth is that crackhead has money and yall dont.

[kmaur21]

We got to remember Nippy was singing with Arethas and the greats since she was a little girl. Of course her voice is going to be much stronger. She was the background girl for the greats and her own Mom is a legend. Nippy could outsing anyone she felt like back then.

[irockyomom]

WHO is nippy

[Chimier]

Whitney. It's her childhood nickname.

[Coydarel]

nippy

[Chimier]

I know.

[Coydarel]

ok.. i didnt see the previous question.. sorry..

[babylee69]

right

[1blessedONE]

this woman is a serious sanger she could sing anything better than the original artist she has shown up some of the greatest and this is just one moment of many I love you Whitney!

[direfranchement]

She doesn't sing it better than Aretha, but she does a fierce version, high or not.

[jewishpianoman]

the original artist is not aretha. carole king wrote this song. she let aretha record it before she did, but she wrote it and recorded it 3 years after aretha.

and no, whitney houston, this is not an old aretha franklin song (like i just explained)

[direfranchement]

You're missing the point. I know King wrote the song, although many in the audience likely do not. Americans, and Whitney's audience even moreso, do not associate "Natural Woman" with Carole King--they think Aretha Franklin, just as Whitney did when she introduced the song. It doesn't matter who wrote it. When people think "I Will Always Love You", most think Whitney Houston, not Dolly Parton, although yes, Dolly wrote it and had a country hit with it. Aretha made "Natural Woman" her own.

[woof3x]

very well said, buddy.

[jewishpianoman]

i accept your point

i was just getting frustrated while watching all of these videos because everyone is always PRAISING aretha all the time, and i truly respect carole king as a songwriter... but of course, aretha does make it her own

[snowgoaway]

its ACTUALLY an old carol king song but whatever shes sooo good

[DannyGee]

it's fuinny how the crowd didn't pick up on her talking about Aretha, but when she started to sing they cheered for the song. It must have been somewhere where they don't speak English.

Phenomenal performance.

[vitalfew]

Whitney reminds me of Elvis...no matter how drugged up and off their faces they were...their incredible voices never let them down...Whitney is a true superstar!!!

[Shawn510]

Itz deep cuzz when she says 'Ohh baby look what you've done to me' she lookz hella crackish then Lol...Poor Whitney

[jgoins12]

stop saying that shit what hell is wrong u !!! do u have anything nice to say if shut the fuck up i mean areu blind do u not see that she has been porforming for most of the afternoon or morning what ever was it may have becouse she was tired and needed rest DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU POST YOUR SMART AS COMMENT HUH BIRD BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shawn510]

I doubt it. She looks high. What I'm saying may not be nice...but it is true. She was probably high when she performed this.. Now, I luv Nippy as much as the next person but I aint bout 2 lie for you nor her...And what tha hell does my comment have to do w/ you? Go get a life or something

[lovegoddess49]

Yes she I believe she is high here. I am happyyou see it also. Those who have known her for years will see that she is just not right, but she sang beautifully.

[theblueangel28]

that was definitely the best job shes ever done on an Aretha song

[IQEllis]

Yeah, I bet he made her feel like a 'natural woman' later that night too. LOL.

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

NOBODY want that broke crackhead bitch, I see why Bobby dumped her ugly ass.

[rascal101bird]

NO ONE ASKED YOU!

[woof3x]

your mom! u got no soul. shut the hell up.

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

More than yo dead granny faggot.

[woof3x]

the day that your mom's penis touching your dad's vagina was a sad sad day for humanity and their souls. ask 'em if they regret pooping you out, you homophobic right-wing fucktard.

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

Where is the funny FAGG?

[woof3x]

i don't know where the funny fag is, but i know the closeted, lament homosexual is.

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

You pointing to yourself faggot.

[woof3x]

i least this is a proud and OUT fag and a soulful addition to the human race.  you, the lint on my trousers, what are you doing here?

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

Nasty FAGGOT you going straight to hell so it dont matter.

[woof3x]

there's no heaven or hell, just the here and the now and EARTH and her beautiful people, straight, gay, and bi. and what's occasionally hellish are pieces of lint get caught in the human fabric.

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

There IS a hell and you will see it soon faggot.

[woof3x]

are you thinking (think--ha!) that you live in Medieval time or something? dante's conception of hell had a circle for homosexuals. it's a great book, his divine comedy. but he was a product of his time--medieval time. oh , what am i say? it's like i'm talking to a wall right now. what would it make any sense to a red-neck, uneducated, cousin-fucking, closet-case anyway? sigh.

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

There IS a hell and you will see it soon faggot.

[woof3x]

dante. look him up. and read his books (a new thing for you i know). hey, dumb fuck, come on out of the closet!

[THGREATESTSOULSINGER]

I aint reading no FAGGOT books, YUCK!

[woof3x]

u don't read AT ALL, u dumb fuck. "the greatest soul singer"--the joke of the century. your existence is a joke to humanity.

[laperlisha]

wao!! excelente cantante....

[utbr01]

Sang Whitney!!

[Jumipo]

The way she sings this song make me cry omg...so much emotions...god bless her

[daveyleedaveylee]

My sweet Jesus! Did he bless this woman with an amazing gift. I have heard her sing with twice the power, higher runs, and more creative riffs...but I have heard seen her sing a song with so much personal feeling and emotion poured into it. For better or worse, she really did love that man some kinda awful.

[Dbuyaki]

celine dion is much better with her studio recording. O god Whitney i love you but go home and rest and pls take off those clothes

[Chimier]

Are you serious? Celine's version is terrible. she left out the soul and added in the technicality. Whitney brings the power, intensity, soul and virtuosity.

[nattalia79]

i love Whitney, but never really understood her sense of dressing...

[lovemike69]

thank you for a true treat!!!!

[curiosoniceboy]

she should leave this job to aretha

[dattexas]

whitney can sing anything she wants.

[doodishpeep]

Shoulderpads :) Great voice... :)

[ordinarycharmed]

Very good :)

Kelly's version has more power in it... But it's great how Whitney did it!

[Chimier]

Kelly Clarkson held a higher note and her voice is nowhere near as pwoerful as Whtiney's. She couldn't even sing How Will I Know very well.

[Doooku]

What a dramatic *tenor*!!! immersely powerful!

[EtniesBoy13]

damn...

[piper204]

i'd say celine has the best studio recording of this song

[Chimier]

Celine's is awful. Aretha has th best studio recording of this song

[princevince03]

duh lol, it is basically aretha's song.

[hoakiss99]

It's basically Carole King's song

[Bahia82]

who ever said that mary J is better at singing this song needs to realize that screaming and yelling for 4 minutes is not soul, LOL

[Lei11]

OMG! Her voice is amazing as usual but I just have to say this... She looks really terrible here! So tired and haggard..

[bobogenius1]

aretha the great

[aalabamaa]

blkhunk23 you're joking right ?!
