  • Every-time I play this song I wanna cry You truly was an amazing person && yu shared your gift with the world & we will always love you RIP Whitney 

  • Oprah said:"Girl do you know you are loved?" Now I know I am my OWN strenght...

    RIP Whitney!! You were and still are very much loved...

  • This was so for Bobby brown

  • This is so sad to watch :(

  • I feel you Oprah at 4:45, we were all pulling for you Whitney. Sadly it wasn't meant to be. Rest in Peace DIVA!!!

  • It's really too bad...

  • I THOUGHT I MIGHT BREAK...

    I GOT THROUGH ALL THE PAIN...

    PERFECT

  • This is one of the best performances I’ve ever watched by an American singer. Whitney’s dress, selection of jewelry, stage lighting, live audience, including Oprah and legendary music producer Clive Davis made this performance amazing. This inspirational song was sung straight from the heart and guided by life experience. The background singers were unbelievable. I hope Oprah will work with ITunes so Whitney’s fans can purchase this performance to view and listen to forever.

  • What a wonderful song... she s singing from the bottom of her hearth... I will miss you so much dear Whitney... I love you...

  • A show-stopper if there ever was one!!! No one will ever take her place.

  • Beautiful & inspirational song. This performance was incredible to see after the long rocky path she had. I was hoping the best for her as she had such heart.

    Media should stay out of her daughters business, leave her alone to grieve & get help with any issues & her Mama would tell her She Was Not Built To Break.

  • What a beautiful performance. She was "the voice"

    R.I.P Whitney Houston

  • "My Mama said I was not built to break. Dionne said I was not built to break. Clive said, "come on back and sing you're not built break." Rest in Paradise DIVA ♥

  • Sólo Dios sabe el porqué de las cosas!!! Oremos a Él para que por su infinita misericordia tenga a esta gran mujer en el sitio que merece y brinde consuelo a todas las personas que de alguna manera u otra lamentamos enormemente su partida!!!

  • and someone had commented on another video saying she had lost her voice this just goes to show Whitney never lost her voice.... because she didnt know her own strength and she was not built to break! R.I.P Whitney And God bless her family

  • It's killing me!! Indeed, you were your own strenght as God blessed you since you were born. Very emotional performance!! RIP Whitney, I know you are now free and by God's side!!

  • I love it

  • I just happened tobe home the day when she performed this on Oprah's show. It brought tears to my eyes then and now. RIP Ms. Houston, your demons are no longer with you.

  • LOVE this song!

  • Wow...I love this song!!!! Sing Whitney sing!!!!

  • Thanks Oprah for enabling this performance

  • LMAO!! The lady on the end in the red sleeveless shirt and glasses at 0:08 jumped up and was like "YAY! *wait .. what?" YAYY!! WHITNEY!! *clapclapclap* wait, what?" It was so funny.

  • @kelaltieri LOL! i've noticed that too :))

  • 1:40 through 1:49 is the best part of the whole thing! Thank you Lord for sending her to us :) :)

  • it is no not fair she is gone. it just doesn't seem right , it seems so wrong.

  • I will always love you Whitney.

  • i am so touched by this song.my tears are now falling down my cheeks.Goodbye Whitney.may you rest in eternal peace :(

  • Singing with the angel choir. We miss you!

  • good bye whitney. It was such a pleasure having you in our hearts and in our lifetime. Thank you for being such an inspiration for so many. You were my favourite singer when I was a little girl with I want to dance with somebody. There was no other singer at that time quite like you, and there will never be another Whitney Huston. God Bless your family xoxox

  • OMG!! This is off the chain. Whitney was in fine voice here and she absolutely nailed this performance. LOVE IT!!!!

  • Her voice bleeds soul and sincerity and that is the reason why we love her so much.I am very sad because she is gone,but I know she is on better place now.She was always there to remind me of my hope and faith and to help me in hard situations.This my thank you to Whitney for reminding me of the greatest love of all and my own strenght.THANK YOU WHITNEY.I LOVE YOU.

  • I have never thought that I 'll cry because of celebrity,but somehow my eyes are full of tears these days.Maybe because I've never thought of Whitney like a celebrity.She was so much more.The Voice,Diva,Black Princess...but before all of this I've always imagined her like a great person,and of course -great singer.It wasn't just the high notes...it was the honesty of her singing.Even when she had problems with her voice...she would always deliver song honestly and you had to believe her.

  • I can feel something when she sings this song... AH-mazing... R.I.P beautiful

  • We´ll miss you forever Whitney.

  • Although her voice would never be the same, she gave one of her best live performance ! She knew how to use her impaired voice to the fullest! She felt and looked great! She knew she was loved and had every ones support. What a great way for her to be remembered !!!

  • THIS is how I want to remember her. I feel so blessed that this is one of the last songs she left us. Here last works were inspiring beyond anything she'd ever done. How perfect. I'm proud of Whitney; she did not die at the bottom; she did not die in distress and in the gutter. She left us at peace. It'd have been nice to have her, forever, but she left us with SO much to remember. Tens of lifetimes wrapped into one.

  • an absolute gift from God.

  • Been watching this all night on OWN.She had the most natural talent,her notes came out Perfectly imperfect,no matter what she sang,or if her lungs were damaged.The Best,girl :) But the worst irony,she did not survive longer then we all hoped.She didn't have to sing,she was a fantastic acress,and could have had a career built on that alone!

  • this is the voice that they said was trashed. it was not at its best at age 46 but she could still out sing 99.9% of the so called superstars of today

  • very poignant, Whitney fought for sooo long. Rest baby rest . Dance with someone who loves you, I get so emotional thinking about you leaving us

  • rest in peace whitney, you will always be one of my hero's.............<3

  • watched this hundreds of times when it first came out RIP dear Whitney and to Oprah its not about you!

  • Whitney this song is deep....love it RIP in the comfort of GOD loving arms...

  • Love you always Whitney Despite all that was said about you xxx

  • By far one of my all time most favorite performances by the wonderful Whitney Houston. I know she's with Angels now, entertaining them with her amazing voice.

  • @rcasey81 You should look for her premiere performance on Merv Griffin of "Home" in 1983.  WHOA. It's awesome.

  • @rcasey81 Agree so much with you... They should have showed this one instead of "I Will Always Love You"... She is so natural, I love her! RIP Whitney xox

  • @rcasey81 Oh and I just absolutely fell in love with here "Oh and let me tell you..." she was so cute!

  • @rcasey81 are u kidding? this performance saddens me...

  • whitney I am inspired to fight on

  • classic

  • I truly believe that when she repeated....."DIDN'T KNOW.... DIDN'T KNOW....I DIDN'T KNOW....I DIDN'T KNOW....I DIDNT KNOW.....I DIDNT KNOW....I DIDNT KNOW.....I GOT THROUGH ALL THE PAIN....OH LORD! I DIDN'T KNOW MY OWN STRENGTH....YES I DID...YES I DID...." She actually is singing to the heavens! All of us struggle with something....Big or small....But Deep down on the inside of her.... I know she loved GOD....And he knew her STRENGTH! Drugs or not....She impacted many lives...SIMPLY LEGENDARY!

  • Charice should do a tribute song for Whitney for she can do Whitney's songs very much like her.

  • How beautifull she is in this performance. She just shines with grace. What actual singers can do that? One less legend for our children. Pity.

  • Oh Whitney. RIP. More respect.

  • i'll always love you whitney houston.. u had inspired me 4 all life... i really2 miss you...

  • @ElynnzLAI84 Well, I hope she didn´t inspire a drug habit....

  • Voice from above......God the lesson we should learn from this is to keep you first in everything we do in this life...because we never know when our spirit's will be called back home....!

  • Powerful,as ever. RIP. She's free now.

  • I love this performance RIP WHITNEY E. HOUSTON

  • I love this. RIP Whitney

  • Your Love will stay and so does ours. You gave us so much joy and fun. Thank you for that all. Thanks for sharing your voice with us. @ Bobbi Kristina be strong - our thoughts are with you evenso I wished I could ease your pain. <3

  • How sad that only three years later Whitney's life would be over. So sad. RIP Whitney - thanks for the music baby.

  • God bless you Whitney. You will truly be missed. RIP angel.

  • We all have our shortcomings so there is no place for anyone of us to judge. Wether it drugs, eating, sexual it doesn't matter. We all fight a battle. I pray for her family

  • Maybe her work was done here on earth it was time for her to go home, what a legacy she has left us

  • THis song got me through a very hard time in my life ...Thank you Whitney

  • There's still a message that Whitney's trying to leave for us. I got the message , RIP Whitney.

  • Singing like an Angel, now she is one <3 RIP Nippy xxx <3 you so much

  • Could you believe the media claimed that she did an horrible Job.RIP whitney On one I was walked on your shoes they can't judge

  • Just tears... 2 short yrs later she did crumble. I can't believe you're gone. I will cherish all the amazing music you've given us.

  • @saynugent1 She didn't crumble, she was set free... She would have probably crumble if she was still with us,that why God called her Home...

  • such a TALENT.

  • R.I.P. We Will Always Love You

  • I love you Whitney, regardless of what you been through. This is a very sad situation.....Mannnn may you R.I.P

  • dnt know how i can live the rest of my love life without you ma luv.....i miss u ma luv...but will meet u in Heaven but not now....

  • The way the music comes in at 4:37 is so sad when she talkin to oprah is so sad ....smh

  • RIP :-( I Will Always Love You!

  • Whitney you do indeed know your own strength. Rest in peace angel.

  • such a Diva!

  • This Sums It Up!!!!

  • One of Whitney's best songs....

  • at 4.07 said something about Dion(Celine)? please answer me..... :)

  • @Bentril14 Dionne as in her cousin, Dionne Warwick! :)

  • @Bentril14 no, she was referring to Dionne Warwick, her aunt and another great singer....

    Another great performance by Whitney. Still brings tears to my eyes.

  • @Bentril14 dione warrick, the singer- her aunt.

  • @1adadada her cousin

  • My Heart is broken because She is Gone to Soon. The devil is a thief He comes to still, kill and destroy, but Jesus comes that we might have life and that more abundantly . I am praying for every Singer, Actor, Entertainer, and the ones in Authority that they will find Jesus as their Personal Savior and not things, people and stuff. Renee

  • I always cry whenever I watch this video but now I'm crying so much since my idol is gone. Miss Houston you will always be my idol, I love you so much. x

  • Thats right Whitney! You werent built to break!! You will live on forever! R.I.P

  • perfect voice:)

  • im crying right now :(

  • R.I.P I so remember this performance

  • Always in heart, mind and music of life!!! 

  • The music industry was already falling but now I know it sunk after this lost. Whitney represents music in the right way, why can't the world just get back to good music, music that made you think, meditate, smile, cry with joy and memories, music that made you tell your girl you love her, miss her, I'm sorry and so on. I think we lost touch with reality, spirit and truth. I'm also a singer but I don't think I want to sing in this music industry of today, it's all about money and quick hits

  • absolutely incredible the message she was able to deliver through song

  • R I P Whitney Houston ... another great voice taken to soon...:(((

  • Cannot stop crying. Rest In Peace my Whitney. I will never stop missing you.

  • the posters of all these shitty comments didn't ever give a damn about her... they wanted their money back after her last concerts bla bla.... and now they try pretending they care............. I'm sick...

    oh jesus, but why her??? we could have waited for her voice to come back in a few years...she could have done so much more in the music industry.....

  • Enough to make a grown man cry. None of us can say we havent made mistakes, or that we don't suffer things we dont always tell others, or that we don't sometimes feel helpless and lost. Whitney became too fragile for this world, too much for her to bear. Her addictions were merely extentions of her tears and sadness. In the end, we gratefully inherit from her the wisdom that drugs and alcohol will destroy you, the memories of her beautiful smile, and the majesty of her voice.

  • Hard to believe she died!

  • Darling, you were not built to break, but you didn't know that you were breakable. You didn't know your own strength but you didn't realise that you were fragile. And precious. It is so hard to accept but we hope you have finally found the peace you deserve.

  • Whitney, I Love You, Travel well, Your music get me going when I felt I could not go any longer. You gave me and two kids a lot of laughter and good memories. Your music have a meaning that not many things will ever have in my life. I know I will see you, and why not hear your voice singing to us. You deserve all the love and respect and I am glad to say, that I never pass judgment on you as a person because after all you were a human singing angel that found her wings caught up in life...

  • NOT ONLY, YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO BREAK BUT NOT ONE CAN EVERY BE CLASSIFIED AS YOU. R.I.P WHITNEY. CANADA LOVE YOU.... GOD WILL GUIDE YOUR DAUGHTER....AM JUST HEART BROKEN..

  • I am sad that Whitney Houston died today. She had such a beautiful voice and was one of the best musical talents. Some may judge her for the years that she was "lost." I prefer to cherish her for the years of beautiful music that she gave us. Remember her for the good things. I know that I will.

  • I really hope we don't find it that it was an overdose.

  • In a way I think she couldn't go throgh the rest of her life without the Bobby she first fell in love with, not the crazy crazy Bobby.

  • So glad you were able to post this! Beautifu! I'm so sad for her.

  • I thought this was the turning point, she was back and was going to wow us for the years to come, so tragic and unexpected, my condolences to all her family and friends and to you Miss Oprah Winfrey

  • @ReneColumbiaU i thought the same thing.. i still can't believe it. i feel so much for her friend s & family, especially Bobbi Kristina.

  • we all just lost our most amazing soul mate Whitney Houston. We will always love you Whitney!

  • This is the performance that made me a Whitney fan. Rest in Peace.

  • Bobby killed this beautiful woman and that amazing voice.

  • Makes me so angry when they try to blame her drug use as the reason for her voice fading. It is just because of aging that a woman's voice gets lowered a few octaves. Dion Warwicks voice did that too as did Arethra Franklin's but it is still beautiful if though not as high range as it use to be. I think she sounded stronger, smoother and softer in another beautiful way. RIP Whitney.

  • she was my sister my friend the most moving voice of all time.... it would be remiss of us all to forget in light of her troubles she was a gift to our world....

  • i live you always whitney

  • We will always love you, Whitney!

  • tears..........only the strength of God prevails. RIP WHITNEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • R.I.P Whitney Houston... you will always be remembered as one of the most amazing female singers of all time... i just wish i could have met you one day :) <3

  • Whitney is so gorgeous here. She never lost her beauty or stage presence.

  • RIP to Whitney.... This song has to be my favorite of her songs. I have had days that I didn't think I could take anymore... I listened to this song over and over until I started to feel better.

  • Always will be the Greatest female vocalist nw an 4ever!!!!!!R.I.P

  • R.I.P Whitney <3

  • This is my favorite Whitney performance ever. RIP

  • for the first time i cried for someone famous die. she really was a gift, and she changed the way to sing, inspiring every singer, naturally inspiring me, i start singing listening to her songs. so sad, but so glad to had known a singer like her..RIP dear angel.

  • im so sorry i so badly wanted er to win im so sad and my heart is in pain RIP;{

  • Rest in Peace Whitney. May God give your family and loved ones comfort and peace.

  • We will always love you Whitney...

  • So anyone who's ever done that with their fingers (sometimes unconsciously) throughout history is in the illuminati? GIVE ME A FREAKIN BREAK! I'm personally sick of hearing about the illuminati, people are giving it too much credit. If you truly believed in God you would know what the word says about his protection from any spiritual darkness.

  • EMOTIONS!!
