  • True soprano this was great!

  • Here her voice was good however in Kazakhstan also in 2008 she was dreadful ! Just like now there is no consistency to her voice and that is not acceptable for a touring artist.

  • 5.06 - Whitney lifts her Leg to kick out - " Then Maybe Iiiiii! "

    You know she mean business when the leg gets raised.

  • @baz1000 lol thats so true ive noticed that!

  • she can sing.

  • wow she's back!!! her VOICE is stil here! plz recover ur voice whit! wait, even if u nv get ur voice back, WE STIL LOVE U! :D y r vids of whitney in such bad quality dis days?! -;-

  • This heffa be blowing on her worst day. That's one singing women it don't make no sense.

  • 3:56 that low note send shivers down my spine

  • This performance like a confession...it tears me apart every time i listen it.

    Especially the beginning 00:00-01:30!Only Whitney can improvise like that=)))

    She is a Gods musical gift to our World

  • Vocals are superb, reminds me of MLIYL era. But she sang like this on several concerts during her tour in 2010. So this proves she's far from done!

  • Whitney dang you made me cry!!!!!

  • go girl go!!

  • the voice can still handle a 7 minute song like it's nothing

    check out the full version:

  • She Sound So good Right Here! An This Was Only 2years Ago!!

  • Whitney sings her hits no matter what the song is...this was off the hit Preacher wife soundtrack...and very succesful fim

  • To Whitney: No matter what you have gone through or what you are dealing with now, know that God restores! Your voice may have good and bad days but keep working hard. Do not let anyone tell you what you cannot do. You are proof that miracles still happen. To everyone else critiquing and being harsh, learn to uplift people when they may need you the most. Whitney is not just a voice but she is human and has feelings. Whit, I am praying for you still! Love you!

  • her voice is fragile, inconsistent. some days good, other days not so good. here she sings very good, like MLIYL era. what smokes and drugs do to you... sigh!!

  • that with evrey singer not just her

  • amazing

  • Her voice is still there!!! i knew it still resided in her..

  • my god truley amazing.... i told ya she still has it

  • at 1:04 when she says soul omg nothin but goosebumps

  • she was brave to sing a gospel song in a muslim country

  • When God brings you through what she went through you'd sing in the pits of hell!

  • WTF?? you thought we were going to shoot here ?? there's no inappropriate place to sing gospel !! she was not the first & definitely won't be the last .....

    we love jesus !!

  • @billyjamesh Whitney is a true praiser and anoited. She will praise him at all times lol!

  • She sung soooooooooo good that night.

  • was this in 2008 or 1998?????????????

  • 2008!

  • This was in Morocco last year. That means 2008

  • ahahaha, 2008 my friend ...

    10 years later ... She's amazing !

  • lol, it was last year

  • Incroyable cette voix de 2008 qu'elle a toujours!!!!

  • I cant believe this was a year ago WOW

  • Yea just a year ago. So that proves she still has the Voice and just imagine what she really sounds like they say the reason why she was hoarse the other day is because she song on Oprah and she did this song and it was her best live version of this song!!!

  • She didnt sing for Oprah until after GMA

  • This proves that her voice is NOT gone, Love U whitneyyyyyyy

  • Wow she's singing behind the song "More Than Anything" I Love that song. Go Whit!

  • YESSS I LOVE IT TOO...I wish she would make a gospel album soon!!

  • she hit one of the best low notes i've heard in years, Whitney never stops impressing me

  • I think this performance shows that there is nothing wrong with her voice - it just got older and therefore a little bit more hoarse - which is totally normal

  • Vocally this was the best I ever heard in years. She blew me away with this. In tears right now.

  • Listen to her diction 1:21-122 Lord I love Nippy still the best yall!

  • Praise the Lord!

  • He's a good God on a bad day! Praise Him!

  • I love Whitney. I like her new husky voice, and she still has the best vabrato in the business.

  • she is about to start speaking into tongues

  • prime, whitneys natural voice can be heard in the 80's, in her early to late twentys......there a rumor but im not too reliant on it, but shes allegedlly visited voice doctor steven zeitls and hes at the forefront of vocal restoration with laser and almost no down time unlike convential vocal surgerys that can take your voice away

  • mary j blige is a perfect example of what putting down the drugs/weed/cigs can do for your voice especially if you had a light but strong voice. whitney in this performance is very husky and raspy but still has the power but its buired below the rasp in her voice. right now her voice is becoming lighter by the week if shes taking good care and slowly her range and power will come back, we'll have atleast 1999 whitney but im praying for 1994-1995 whitney and even in that era she was'nt in her

  • This was a fantastic performance! Who can you honestly say sounds like she does?

    Her pre-Grammy performance was even better than this!

    She's rumoured to be performing on BET awards on 28th June! Let's hope so!

  • beautifully sung.. i love whitney and can't wait until her new album is out.. she still got it.. the voice.. peace love and light to her and bobbi kristina and to bobby as well that he have spiritual healing

  • 1:09 .... the voice is inside her yet

  • her voice sounds very clean... I'M SO, SO HAPPY... MY FAVOURITE SINGER IS COMING BACK...

    WHITNEY IS VERY STRONG, IS A BRAVE GIRL AND SHE'S TRYING TO COME BACK, AND SHE'S COMING BACK!!! ... LOVE YOU WHITNEY, LOVE YOU !!!

    LORD I LOVE "YOU" !!!!!!

  • she feels my heart with such happiness and joy when she sings this song. thanks for posting and God bless you and Whitney

  • Her voice is definitely rougher around the edges but I think this clip proves that she can still sing the hell out of a song. Close your eyes and there are moments when you'd swear is was 1995 again. Hope she keeps going strong!

  • IF you can't feel nothing when you hear this than there must be something wrong with you, It is so much passion in her singing that no one else has go ahead whitney

  • Whitney i luv u!!!!

  • .. god bless her

  • This was a year ago and she is in amazing voice now April 2009. I have been a back up singer for 20 + years behind Whitney , Celine & Mariah and not to tell tales out fo school but 75% lipsync for Mariah and about 50% for Celine Its a fact. The only times for Whitney were during big production numbers dering the early 90's. Whitney was almost always live. She would not have it any other way. Thats the truth folks ! I was with Whitney for 5 years.

  • Wow! That's amazing. I bet singing with those 3 divas was life changing for you! I'm a fan of all 3, however Whitney is my No1 favourite artist of all time. In my opinion, some come very close, but (in her prime especially) no voice, male or female is better than Whitneys! Do you agree? I'm only 17 and male, but her voice does something to me I can't put into words! It's inspiring!

    I bet you're a brilliant singer if you were backing MC, Celine & Whitney! Do you have any vids of you singing?

  • one of my sources said she just quit smoking cigs around the pre grammy show in feb, so we're going to hear a drastic improvements plus according to paula abdul shes working with a top notch voice teacher. she became a heavy chain smoker about 2 years ago to cope with her primary addiction which is cocaine, and smoking cigs messed her voice more but it was something she had to do to become sober.

  • That's part of why I LOVE Whitney so much! She tries to stay true to the integrity of a vocalist! She gives it her all whether the voice is all there or not! She would rather sing with a hoarse voice than lipsync and to be honest, I would rather hear that with passion than a perfect prerecording!

  • I thank you Lord, for bringing Whitney back. What she did with this song was truly, truly inspirational, phenomenal, legendary. I wish I was there in her presence.

  • I love you Whitney always

  • don't speak about celine!she still has very good voice!she has also sang live and she is great!ok?

  • Whitney is the ONLY singer among the divas of the 90s who has never lipsynched a single note to this day.

    Mariah and Celine lipsynch more than half of their "live" performances.

    What a voice Whitney has!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!

  • Then you need to do some more research! Whitney has lipped quite a few times. All you need do is look up I'm Every Woman!! She doesn't lip often, but the statement you made is definitely incorrect.

  • I'm telling you, she tore the MESS out of that song! And it was one year ago. her voice has improved since then...

    She's still the baddest bitch in the game. Sorry for lipsinching queens Mariah and Celine. The Voice is still here as confident and powerful as ever, thanks to the Lord

    Like she says in the song, He brought her out a long way!

  • now this is the whitney I remember and love!!!!!!

  • THANX FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!!!

    i WATCH IT EVERYDAY!!! ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE RENDITIONS OF MY FAVORITE SONG!!

  • The one and only.. THE VOICE

    love Whitney forever!

  • Mariah has not had a child. having a child lowers a singers register. their voices deepens. so whitney has a strike against her that Mariah dont have. but whitney is still the more skilled vocalist. but mariah is great too.

  • No only whitney had a child, but she also had 2 miscarriages at 4 or 5 months of pregnancy

  • Spectacular......Whitney brings it....You can feel her......Very special performance.

  • Thank You Jesus. I needed this to make it through the rest of the day!

  • 3:58-4:04, 4:26-4:30 - CHILLS.

    Absolutely loved this performance.

  • Everyone who isn't sure what Whitney TODAY is capable of singing should watch this.

    This performance, IMO, is PERFECTION. Especially the beginning.

  • LO0VE IT

  • She sounds like Cece in this big time. Cece would sing it this way!

  • The background is tight on this too. That brought Whitney voice out. She still has the Range too its just raspy a little.

  • yep she does! cece is my whitney in gospel music lol! i got caught up @ 3:27 to 3:35 that gave me chills lol did you hear that echo at the end?

  • you're such a delusional person. nothing you say makes sense. lol

  • where is in morocco is she? I assume Marrakech. the most beautiful place I have visited in the 40 odd countries I have travelled to.

  • Rabat (the capital)

  • Wow she has such passion my favourite singer. I love her.

  • she still got it

  • Magical. Transcendent. Glorious! Thank you Whitney!!

  • For everyone who says Whitney has lost it vocally needs to watch this ... this woman will forever remain The Voice!

  • She sounds just like her godsister CeCe Winans on this song...

    God loves you too, Whitney...you'll be back but this time you must not cheapen his glory!

  • DO NOT preach 2 Whitney......DON'T!!!!! She would ask u name a specific time and place when she did.... Omg, how RUDE.

  • That backround is the bomb...

  • Listen at 3:58 to 4:05. That's really low!

  • And amazing!!!!

  • I know Whitney always could go as low as she wants as well as high. That women got a crazy lower register live 3:58-4:05, thats why I always say she has way more range than she shows.

  • Yes. Whitney. I think your fans with love a live Gospel Album.

  • Lawrd ham mercy. She forgot she Him hidden in heart!  Bless His holy Name! The Name Jesus is worthy to be praised!

  • YES GOD! boy I ALMOST HAD CHURCH UP IN MY ROOM!

  • the kasahastan concert was not good, but here she was brilliant, sha had a bad night (in kasah), here she stunning, her voice was in shape and powerfull, a believe that she can comeback better than ever, beacause she has so many fans that always support her , and yes nippy,I will always love you!!!!!

  • Totally, Haters like to say she has I lost it.They are jealous because they want her gone. Period. I mean listen to this who can't listen to this and tell me this woman isn't a gift from God. U either have it or not. Others may try to imitate, and prove to be better, but wht they don't realize is tht its the VOICE Period!!! No one has her voice and thts Fact. I just sit back and let them talk crap because u can't lose something that was given to u from above. Period!!!

  • I truly, honestly & wholeheartedly believe we are about to witness the biggest comeback in music history. This isn't wishful or fanciful thinking. Mariah, Leona & Celine are all extremely talented, even gifted singers, but Whitney was blessed with the bigest vocal gifts of all. A gift is a gift, it's yours to keep. Yes, Whitney caused dust to gather on hers, but all it needs is time & a good polish. It's still intact! Listen to the clarity & purity of those head notes at 1:10 / 1:22

  • may not be technically perfect like her recorded version, but this is easily the best LIVE version of this song.

  • I think Whitney can have a Mariah-type comeback. Glitter and Charmbracelet had no successful singles, and struggled to enter the Top 100 even. People wrote Mariah off and noticed a decline in her vocals. You were mocked if you were an MC fan - then BANG - EMANCIPATION - everybody loves her, nobody has a bad word and it's like she never left. Whitney can do the same! Her voice only keeps improving.

  • The Best!

  • i love it whitney has what it takes too come back she a very strong and talented women. Maybe what she went through was God testing her, and now she has to come back and give him the glory cuz what god gives you he shall taketh, but he isnt done with her yet, he left her hit rock bottom but now hes going to bring her back to the top, just watch and see noe. I never will give up on my gurl whitney

  • whitney is amazing

  • Is It Too Early To Say...

    SHES BACK !!

  • Simply Amazing!!!! And haters say her voice is shot, gone. Who's really smokin crack!! Whit is the voice

  • wow..i think Whitney sing real well hear..I havent heard this in a while from her.

  • The voice is totally back, not exactly how it was, but amazing. She is belting out some nice vibrato notes here!

  • wow - whitney sounds really free here, her head voice is nearly fully restored and he chest voice sounds sooo much stronger. Regardless of the "changes" in her voice including maturity, she has retained a distinct quality which other singers simply dont have, she stands out...

  • Mariah, Whitney and Celine , these are the three legends in their own right. No matter who comes next , no one can dethron them. Charice would be the next one in line but she has a long way to go.

  • We all need to stop hatin on Mariah and Whitney and just appreciate all that they've done.

  • Whitney's 2 falsetto runs from 1:10 - 1:29 are clear, strong, controlled and sound like The Bodyguard era in their execution. Also love Whitney's chest voice run at 4:56; her vibrato is so resonant! Whitney continues to inspires!

  • I think they both need a break. I love them both but if you are trying to compare Whitney to Mariah there's no comparing. enough said.

  • I think Mariah can sing but Whitney is a better entertainer .

  • She may of not sounded her best in Kazakhstan but there were some damn good parts in Kazakhstan. I think that performance was due to the cold and her lack of wanting to perform there. She seemed nice but I don't think she warmed up properly.

  • Just Amazing!! Just wait until she gets into the Studio and finishes up her Album.. My God the Voice is there!!! She never left!! She is surely a gift from above. Just Amazing.

  • Whitney loves the lord and the lord certainly loves her !

  • perfect.. so good..

  • how can she be so good here, and then be so bad in Kazahstan? I don't get it... it's like she has great days and really horrible days... I wish someone would explain what the fuck is going on with her voice... I mean, it can;t be just drugs... it's like her throat or vocal chords got injured... there's being raspy, and there's being sick. she sounds sick. (but still good)

  • That's what I want to know. I guess the Lord was not about to let her mess up a song about him, making him look bad. lol

  • She sustained nodules during her Bodyguard Tour of 1992-1994 and this is the reason for the decline in her voice as well as the drugs. She only recently had the nodules removed, but if you listen to her from Waiting To Exhale onwards you can hear that hervoice has moved from soprano to alto due to nodules. Drugs did NOT help.

  • Its a lot of things. Singers get lazy, they get tired, and well they sleep. She's the voice. I think wht happened in Khaz, was she probablly slept on her plan ride, and remember womens voices drops 2 octaves when they first get up. Thts fact. It could take up to 4hrs to even get in original key. Its obvious whitney in Kaz had the voice, she easly hit her falsetto keys oo's and I's But changing keys as many as her songs do require its harder, sound a tad bit hoarsed. Trust me she's still got it!!

  • Whitney's voice is still amazing. She knows how to interpret her songs and sings with feelings. I can't wait for the new CD. She gives me chills and I am so happy for her. We need to be positive about others not negative all the time. No two singers are alike. Each is talented in his/her own way. There are enough fans out there for every singer. Let's be festive as Mariah would say.

  • I love Whitney so much; I also love Mariah. But, Mariah's fans need to realize that she needs to rest. Her recent Hong Kong performances on YouTube aren't the best. She is still promoting her CD, but she also deserves a personal life-Nick is not the problem. Other artists' CD's aren't selling as well too. Mariah is in love and deserves to be happy. If you are a true fan of hers, you would understand this. Mariah can't perform 24/7--no one can. This video is of Whitney not Mariah so respect that.

  • she still sounds awesome! i hope she keeps it up

  • that was great!!!!!

  • Love Whitney, she have giving me so much hapiness and joy i'm so greatful. Whitney Hosuton is back like never before, cause now she knows more about life, and you learn by yur mistakes.true. Love Whitney <3

  • she still beats mariah who has almost completely lost her voice.

  • Mariah actually sounds better now. Whitney is just done!

  • Whitney sounds 10000x better than Mariah does in any of those Hong Kong performances from the other day! That's the truth!

  • you are in such denial but that's ok, go ahead with your dream.... Mariah's voice is in better shape!

  • Mariah 1 you have hated on every single Whitney video on youtube...This 2008 performance of THE VOICE blows Mariah's entire career out of the water....You're squealing Idol is done & dusted. If you're seeking TRUE TALENT...Look no further...She's singing infront of you right now...BITCH.

  • Mariah has got no more game. I don't recall learning how to whisper, squeal or lipsynch in any of my music lessons. Are you delusional? Whitney's voice has matured while Mariah's is fading quite severely lol. You face the truth, Mariah's fantasy days died in '96. Don't try to con a con DOG, maybe it's time you got your head outta your ass & faced reality, delusional Mariah fan.

  • Mariah has won the game DOG and for your info just listen to Whiney Houston live today, she has lost most of her voice and over all control due to all the crack. Maybe you should quit doing them and you'll see that she is done. Now eat shit and die already.

  • Haha Truth hurts, But someone had to drop the Bomb. I've done my homework, have you?..Are we listening to the same Whitney video? I get tired of watching a terrible lipsyched performance by MC, Geese at least do it right bitch, but hey she can't act, refer to Glitter lol. Sorry like Whitney I have class, You keep eating your shit & deluding yourself with the "Mariah can sing" phase LOL, well I enjoy more Whitney, the Greatest voice in hisory....BITCH

  • you Day Dream in your Fantasy world like a little Whitney fan that's in denial about the former voice that is no longer. Can you say crack pipe? I'm sure you can relate to that piper.

  • I know you and piper get along just fine, after all you still think Mariah can sing LOL. I can't deny THE VOICE aka Miss Whitney, nor can the rest of the world, get with the programme caveman. Now can you say...Retarded LOL.

  • Nobody is saying Whitney 2008 sounds like Whitney 1985. You'd have to be both deaf and dumb to say that. But the woman still sounds amazing and does sound close to Whitney 1998.

    Mariah on the other hand does not sound good 90% of the 5 times a year she sings live. She can barely hold a note anymore. I mean, the woman was outsung by fuckin Miley Cyrus at Fashion Rocks this year.

    Yea she has 18 #1's but all that means is she has a marketing department. Whitney has won the most awards.

  • you must be fucking crazy to even say that Mariah has lost it and to even say that she was outsung by Miley, now I know that you're on the same shit Whitney was on. You are such a dumbass!

  • Mariah has nodules ... you try and sing high with thos fucking things! Show some damn respect even if you can't be sympathetic!

  • true! Mariah still has a beautiful voice even with the voice issues that she's stuggled with. She's amazing...

  • so go watch her, what are you complaining about

  • I like to watch Whitney as well so don't get me wrong. Why don't you get a life?

  • lol ok

  • She's lost lots of her range and power but still sounds pretty good.

  • Id have to disagree with that. Her voice is healing very well. I still hear the power and the range is still there but I am one who believes that a passion is absent.

  • Cool. She sounds like a Rocker at the end.

  • just listen to the last minute and a half

  • okay. WHO else in popular music can do this TODAY? no one. in fact, she's even better than she ever was because she has so much more experience to sing from. the lyrics have so much more meaning to her now and you can tell. that's what music is, what singing is. and the best singers make people feel. there is as much true feeling in this performance as any of her previous performances, if not more.

  • whitney is gearing up for one of the world biggest comeback ever Mariah i love you but sit down.Remember her interview with the great diane swayer, she said that she wasn,t doing this for no awards she got them all.So i think this one is just for us her fans ,and i thank you Ma you keep your head up and just keep singing for me. i love the lord to .

  • Mariah never sits especially now. Whitney is trying to come back but Mariah was always here and will be going on and on.

  • i love Mariah but she is in a lull right now. Ever since she got married, she like quit caring about promoting her album. Which is sad because the album is one of her best. The album is on track to sell less than the Glitter soundtrack currently, cause she's so focused on Nick :( i want my Mariah out on stage singing lol instead of a random tv performance here and there lol

  • me too!

  • mariah was always here? let me remind you NOBODY wanted to hear about her from 2001 to 2005.even her company kicked her ass out.even when Whitney was on drugs, people still cared about her

  • Mariah has had her ups and downs but with her talent, effort, hard work and wondeful fans she is back baby and no matter what u or anyone else has to say, that can't be taken away from her.

  • her true fans always wanter to her hear she just struggled for a minute

    btu let's not forget about glitter(movie and soundtrack) or charmbraclet's flop although i love maraiah and all craetive works alota ppl didn't enjoy she didn't officially comeback to her "emancipation" how funny how soon we forget everybody falls there human who are you tu judge NOBODY...

  • you are absolutely right, yeadime!

  • whitney is and will alway be the best female entertainer of all times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • damn, i was shocked i didnt think that she would sound so good. i read some of the comments first and was like yeah i have to hear on my own, when she hit that high note i knew she was back. if she can hit that note its all good... cant wait for her return the industry better get ready the biggest comeback of all time

  • ur so right. i read ur comment and i was lyke "we'll see" and then i heard it and was lyke "dayum!!!!!!! yeeeeeesssssssss!" she sounded great. im so excited for her right now and for us. this is gonna be great!

  • OMG...nothing left to say

  • Respect for Miss Houston!!!

    To be honest i didn't expect that she will sing that well after nearly a 5 year break!

    So much emotion, so much passion and power....

    It's good to have her back!!!

  • wow... her voice is almost there... she doesn't have it all back but it's there. She just needs to lay off the cigarettes
