See you after the Judgement day my deepest condolences to all her love ones and her amazining fan, I will never let go, Rest In Peace Sweet Whitney.. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU OOOO XXXX.

  • That UHHUhHA she does at 1:07 makes this song for me her emotion are clear in this performance. R.I.P. She is singing in Heaven now

  • deliver! whtiney!

  • Damn, so sad, she definitely went down the wrong road with Bobby brown

  • wow! Pop singers of this times should have this kind of talent... Christina, Perrys, Mariah, Rihanna , Beyonce ,do us a favor:

    Stop careing about the outside, work on your voice, your musicallity, your live performances and try to sound half of good Withney sound in this video...

  • @trebolbassclef Christina and Mariah have real good voices- don't forget the duet MAriah did with Whiteney. Chritina reminds me of Whitney a bit, such a great voice. :)

  • @AngstyLady please don't mention those women in the presence of the master its like comparing aretha's vocals with madonna!

  • Comment removed

  • @dlfunky1 I agree with you a 100% ...

  • @AngstyLady That is why I said that they need to work on the musicallity. Singing it isn't only hit notes, have strong voice and do scales with the voice, it is also to know when to sing when to rest , make use of dinamics (like "piano" or "forte"). Withney has that, and is something that this days is hard to find in a pop singer.... just saying .

  • @trebolbassclef never put rihanna's no talent self in a group with beyonce... mariah and beyonce have plenty of talent of course none of them are whitney but mariah has perfected her craft shes studied every genre of music there is including opera though now a days you cant tell and as for beyonce she is an amazing singer and performer who im sure is still working to cultivate her magnificent gifts... its rihanna and christina perry that need a reality check!

  • @love21dance4eva Say it!! Rihanna is trash...she belong in that pile along with Ciara, Katy perry, Britney Spears and other who can't sing a damn note!! Whitney was the Queen and every famous black singer looked up to her!

  • She was half white, how cool is that!

  • @ProcyonAlpha I think you're confused honey. Mariah is half white. Whitney wasn't.

  • You DID that Whitney! Wonderful! You WILL be missed!

  • She OWNED that voice!!!!!!

  • a shame you did not....

  • This video just broke my heart. Thank you for the love, passion, laughter and the tears. May your soul rest in peace Whitney.

  • What a beautiful voice !! Whitney you will be missed!

  • this video is bringing me to tear. The lyrics the lyrics the lyrics. smh the right song at the right time in ur life will bring u to tears. thank u lord. rip whitney

  • @tinasad3 yes i agree with you, her voice is so amazing she will be missed dearly

  • What amazing diction. You can understand every freakin word no matter what she's doing with it. Even at the end. What a genius!!

  • She was gorgeous! OMG LOOK AT HER!! RIP Whitney. We love you!! :.-(

  • REST IN PEACE !!!

  • I been listening to Whitney Houston since probably since I was in the womb. My mom and I loved Whitney Houston. She was pure natural God given talent. I love you Whitney Houston.

  • WOW i cant believe how young she is here! she didnt even know how famous and how loved she would be by the world yet! oh how i would just do anything to see her live..im only 18 and i crave whitneys talent...i never got to enjoy her concerts or live singing. but i am grateful.

  • Are......you....KIDDING ME?!? This is how she should ALWAYS be remembered.

  • obviously Christina was influenced more by this than Mariah.

  • i can't believe how she let drugs mess up that voice.

    i wonder who she saw first when she left her body.

  • Whitney sang this!

  • the heaven got a new angel, and we will miss her on earth, she is a dreamgirl, and she is amasing, the Lord need to send us more talented women like her

  • rest in peace precious.

  • She sung the shit out of this. Truly a voice that will never be forgotten.

  • @Kaplanman09 LOL i said the same thing, out loud. "whitney sang the SHIT outta that!"

  • Give a "thumbs up" to this post if you will always love Whitney and never forget her!

    

  • @pianomanlol This here Jersey girl has been a fan of the incomparable Ms. Houston since I was the tender age of 7 (back in '84/'85). I will always, ALWAYS love her. Heart is so heavy right now, but I'm soooo grateful I was alive to witness the gift she shared with us all. I can remember begging my mom to let me stay up late enough to see her perform on Johnny Carson and Dave Letterman and any and every award show she was on. Seems like forever ago. So many fond memories...

  • I love you Whitney RIP

  • rest in peace love

  • RIP Nippy...The Voice!

  • @urbanskater01 CAN'T BELEIVE SHE'S GONE!

  • this bitch better sing , sing it Whitney

  • Whew Jesus this was atrocious!! Its soooo awesome however to see her so young and fresh and how much she grew as a singer and the ashes from whence she came lol. Cause she is not ready to sing the big mama sopranos songs just yet here. But damn, she was extremely professional about it and handled it very well.

  • Thats her REAL HAIR!!

  • this is amazing clip, 1000x thx for this, if you want

    Whitney Live in Dortmund ,Germany 1988 (concert) just click my name

  • Awwww, I miss old Whitney. I forgot how amazing she was.

  • what year is this exactly ? probably the begining of Whitney's career as her later vocals became more controlled and certain though this performance is not bad.

  • @ksionc100 1988

    

  • @kaicye thanks

  • @ksionc100 1985

  • @kaicye 1985

  • @ksionc100 i think it`s the 10year anniversary

    of the legend company ARISTA

  • Whitney gets down. One of the greatest singers of all time, No one did it better when she was on top.

  • Whitney always has been and will be my favorite artist... period. My girls life has played out in public but it is 'life' and she STILL here dammit.

  • I LUV WHITNEY!

  • Jennifer Hudson is NOT Whitney Houston's equal. Even today, after her vocal decline, Whitney still commands more control, tone, beauty, technique, & eloquence then Jennifer EVER will. Jennifer may have power, but that's it. Jennifer knows nothing but loud, husky, and hard. When she sings softly it's nasal. Whitney's voice, even today, is still a standard. Comparing their versions is pointless. Jennifer's version was recorded in a studio. Whitney's is live. And this isn't even the best version.

  • For the love of you

  • o...m...g.... i was really really fan from whitney, and so i am from jennifer.. but whitney've got this song just sooo bad... her voice isnt strong enough. sad..

  • i like the jen version better

  • GIGANT

  • she changing with drugs :p

  • nothing is gonna stop me from loving her 

  • worst performance of this song ever !!!! no offense to whitney or anyone...

  • @discorules2009 None taken. btw, disco sucks ELEPHANT BALLS!!! no offense to you or anyone...

  • @Try2MakeSenseOrSTFU ,,then its just like whitney's voice nowadays....

  • @Try2MakeSenseOrSTFU if disco sucks, why did both whitney and cissy had major hits in that genre....the only thing that sucks, is ur useless comment, everyone is entilted to there opinions and whitney's version is bad for me, she doesnt have the power to do this song justice like jenniffer' version.....

  • @Try2MakeSenseOrSTFU if disco sucks, why did both whitney and cissy had HUGE disco hits ?? maybe ur opinion sucks ? just like whitney's voice

  • @discorules2009 I know you are not talking about Whitney not having power or her voice sucks?! First of all she has much more power in her voice than Jennifer Hudson. I love Jennifer Hudson, but Whitney has far much more resonance and control in higher belts. Resonance is what gives the voice more power. Whitney lacked control in this performance, but she has a better performance of this that she did in San Francisco. Whitney wasn't called "THE VOICE" for nothing.

  • @ThePianoguy89 of course she was the voice !!! IN THE PAST !!! her voice is gone now cause she did drugs... jennifer hudson can destroy her today, as for the power jen has more i can assure you, i am a sound teck...

  • @discorules2009 Jenn has power, but she has that raw power. Whitney has more power because she resonates more in the mask. That's why you hear more of that vibrating or ringing sound in her voice more than Jen's voice. Jen's voice can get a little bit too screamy in her upper chest belts, but she resonates more from B4 to E5. Both are great singers with powerful voices, but Whitney takes it more when it comes to resonance and color.

  • @ThePianoguy89 i think that there both great and jenn rendition is for me far superior in both emotion and interpretation but we could argue for hours,,,,

  • @discorules2009 I respect your opinion.

  • @discorules2009 But then Jennifer Holiday - the orignial Dream Girl..can sit them both down...this was way before Whitney had vocal training...very beginning of her career - it's obvious - Jennifer Hudson still needs vocal traiining -she is usually off key..sad for such a power house to be too arrogant to be taught. Dream Girls producers must have coached her all along the way, She was on key.

  • @discorules2009 Everyone has their time. Whitney's time was the 1980's, 1990's and early 2000's. That is almost three decades. It is ok if someone else takes over the thrown now

  • @discorules2009 lol !!!!!!

  • Listen, it's not hate to admit this was terribly off-key. Even the greats have an off performance. It was lovely in some parts though.

  • Was thisat an Antiques Auction?

  • I liked thos song performed by jennyfer hudson more :) but this is good 2

  • @LadyPinkNicole She took this song to a level that no one has ever come close to on her 1986 'The Greatest Love Tour'.

  • All of you who can sit behind a computer and talk your shit are not as talented as whitneys pinky tip lol. talk your shit shes still rich.

  • @dopey85xxx ROFLMAO you damn right on that. That's all they do is talk shit. When they finally put out an album (yeah right), then he can judge. Matter of fact nevemind cause they ain't shit. Haters gonna hate cause that's all they can do.

  • @dopey85xxx 2011 Whitney is not as talented as her pinky finger tip in 1985

  • @tiffanyisqueen Its her voice that is damaged not her talent. She is more experienced and has even more talent now, but her instrument has deteriorated. Also she has expanded and developed her talent in other areas like acting and film production. Let's wait and see how her new movie 'Sparkle' turns out.

  • @dopey85xxx

    haha great ! well said.

  • love her.

  • 1:07-1:10 wooooooooo I felt that thing in my soul!!

  • I was lookin for her early live performances...jus to hear her prime, & jus when I was thinkin Irene Cara had tha best live performances....Mrs Whitney sang like this lol!!~

  • Raw Whitney. Don't you just like it?

  • One word: Incredible.

  • I hope this woman gets remembered for times like this and not the crap she's been through later...Absolute star!

  • that note at 1;08 MY GOD. she IS blessed by the Lord. Truly. do u think beyonce or that piece of garbage Rhianna can attempt this. yea she was off key at time but thats OK this is artwork. Not a product like r and b has turned into. all that hip hop and stripper stuff. Im so glad singers like adele is slowly bringing music back to wat its supposed to b Thank God

  • This girl is BAD!!!!!! I wish she sound like this today!!!

  • The ULTIMATE DIVA! ^V^  *******APPLAUSE*******

  • @MrMediaBlitz along with barbra streisand, who is the other ultimate diva, though whitney is more of a diva i will admit this but (in two completely different styles) they are the Queens of Broadway and R&B . those two could rule the world. (who run the world... Whitney and Barbra bitches). Brava WHitney, though for me this will always be Jennifer Hiolliday's song. She (whitney) could sing the dictionary and make it a grammy award winning song.

  • Great way of handling a song that is wayyyyy too high for her. very professional. She sounds good though.

  • Wow! I never knew Whitney song this. The Girl SONG THIS SONG!!!! She"s been Blessed with the VOice Of An ANGEL!

  • Never knew Whitney sang this first:)

  • This woman is so amazing. She sings perfectly. Master volume control of voice!

  • Beatuiful(:

  • Her voice is remarkable. I got tears in my eyes listening to this song

  • shes so beautiful and that makeup just make her more beautiful

  • i love whitney but she was kinda all over the place with this performance. this showed her immense, raw talent...and how it needed to be fine tuned...but she quickly perfected her craft and became a legend.

  • i love whitney houston shes my idol !
