Whitney Houston- Live from Tokyo 1988 (9/10)

[kmaur21]

Queen of superhead voice!

[kmaur21]

She sounds just like the late Minnie here!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmaur21]

2:47-2:54 That was fierce Nippy just BEASTING in her super soprano way!

[Daniel40501]

Whitney was a force of nature, whitney ´s voice comes from heaven.Period.

Since the beginning of her career she never sang like always modifying the arrangements it diversify doing struck his vocal range, Saving all my love for you is one of my songs and I prefere the follow up to today

[kmaur21]

She sounds like Rachelle Farelle 3:43 with that octave jump. That woman is bad and it don't make no sense to be as good as Whitney. She can jump octave and people don't recognize it, she so quick with it.

[siempre2904]

THE VOICE- period.

[kmaur21]

How does hit that chirp 3:43, thats whole other octave this woman was insane vocally!

[kmaur21]

3:42-3:43 she jumped that octave so quick only Whitney can do scales like that. She did Kolding All the Man I Need from head to whistle register 3:58-4:01, and SAMFLY Spain 1991 she jumped from head to whistle 4:25, her vocals in her prime were ridiculous all the time.

[kmaur21]

Exactly!

[DEMISS99]

It's funny you think her "you" sound just like Minnie Ripperton cause a few weeks ago, i was readin' in The New York Times a wonderful review about a splendid concert she did at Madison Square Garden during "my love is your love tour" and the critics said: "she sounded as low as Sarah Vaughan and as high as Minnie and it was in 99.......

[kmaur21]

Yes, Whitney has a very wide vocal range when her clarity is there. Vocally she has no limits!

[kmaur21]

Whitney shows off her range on rare concerts. I want to hear real rare performances, cause Whitney can hit notes we only can imagine live. She is a bad singer in a good way!

[MusicBlaster08]

U mean she's baaaad!

[kmaur21]

Coloratura sopranno 2:45-2:50!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmaur21]

So Minnie like 3:43 I miss her real soprano voice like this clip!

[kmaur21]

London 1991 All the Man I Need Whitney hit notes as high as Minnie and Mariah......... 3:19-3:20 and 5:02-5:03. The notes are very airy high pitched whistle like Mariah's fourth of july song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmaur21]

Whitney here would sh........ on Mariah Carey like nothing in both of their primes. I never understood why people compare the too!

[kmaur21]

This is the real Whitney right here before the corruption and drama! Ain''t nothing like this woman's angelic voice! Sing Nippy just sang it out!

[DEMISS99]

you're right she had a very wide range but she did not use the all of it, whitney never used her low range in her prime and i i know she could hit some whistle notes at her best ,

[kmaur21]

Yes, I agree she never played alot with her lower register to the fullest. But I know for a fact she go down to at least g2 but I bet she can go much lower.........

[DEMISS99]

Whitney doen't show her wide and 5 octaves range in this performance, her best perfomance live i've ever heard who show her at least 5 octaves is " i'm changing"

[kmaur21]

I know in prime Whitney has 4.5 octaves in her prime with ease. She has a very very wide range

[kmaur21]

Them You's at the end is so Minnie Ripperton it is ridiculous. I am laughing now cause that is so Minnie. Minnie and Whitney sound similar sometimes.

[joohsay]

My girl Whit sounds a little like Minnie sometimes. Minnie is older.lol

[kmaur21]

She was in same vocal category as Minnie and Denise coloratura soprano in her prime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[joohsay]

Just responding to the fact that someone said that minnie sound like her, just saying that Minnie was older.

[DEMISS99]

i like lisa but i love mariah she got the highest voice in pop r&b music whitney improvise so much in that song cause it's a very jazzy cool and sexy tune

[kmaur21]

Please Lisa got just as much range as MC so did Nippy too. Nippy truly had 5 octave range when she sung this clip. She always had as much range as her just way more controlled.

[DEMISS99]

lisa sound very good but she never had whitney big great and technical voice, i heard she's a good background vocalist, she did some good work for the great luther vandross

[kmaur21]

Lisa is no Whitney but she got Mariah beat.  I rather hear Lisa than Mariah in the 90's

[DEMISS99]

you're right, whitney has the sweetest sound even if her voice isn't at her best

[kmaur21]

Exactly!

[kmaur21]

I like that You 3:42, she goes into another pitch, she is so multi-octave!

[kmaur21]

Lisa Fischer would do that fantasy part like that too, that was so Bad Whitney. She know she did everything possible with the human voice.

[kmaur21]

That girl know she know how to do a scale listen to fantasy, and those You's!!!!!!

[rimbaud15]

tired ? are U crazy !!!!!

[kmaur21]

I love when she does that church growl OLD!!!!!!!!! Nippy is a beast when she sings!!!!!!

[DEMISS99]

I don't like that version,her voice sound tired or something,she may not released much albums like Mariah but god that lady toured so much even in her debut

[Blueeyedsoul517]

she does sound tired..but she still sounds very veyr good. and u're right...whitney did tour alot. they made her work like a dog. mariah had to wait forever to overcome her stage fear before she started touring

[kmaur21]

Her voice so high and loud! I have turn it down some!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmaur21]

Your mistaking her voice by sounding effortless by saying it sounds tired. I really don't see real effort in this performance, just singing beautifully!

[kmaur21]

How high was 3:43, that pitch changed drastically from the You................. Whitney always does this chirp sometimes when she does the You............ its superhead voice. That is definitely sixth octave.

[kmaur21]

Those You's are heaven!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmaur21]

That fantasy....... is crazy so multi-octave and talented!

[DEMISS99]

"saving all my love for you" was my favorite part of Whitney Show

[kmaur21]

She always does something special and interesting on this one!!!!!!!!

[rimbaud15]

oh why ? why , why i can't sing like that : i know , it's a gift of god and this voice come from heaven

[guddynatasha]

because you got another gift from jesus... you know it yourself.you are always blessed.

[soulshock4444]

that's so hot!
