Whitney Houston Tribute to Luther Vandross and Introduced by Tyra Banks

[stanbgn]

Chilling seeing these two Greats standing together ..now silenced forever. May they RIP Luther--Whitney.

[hespartan10]

It had to be heart breaking to love so many and not judge them but be judged by most unfairly

[babymickey16]

SHE USED 2 ALWAYS SAY LUTHER'S LAST NAME LIKE THAT!!!!!! LOL GOD I REMEMBER THAT!!!! lol Damn it's crazy that they r both gone.. My loves 4eva.. Whit could jus sing any DAMN THING!!!!! DAMN!!!!!! GOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!!! lol

[blass408]

u better sing it Whit! simply irreplaceable!!! SO MUCH SOUL!

[96CLD]

@vikefantony so do I lol

[VikefanTony]

I think Luther was trying to tell Whitney something right there without even looking at her.

[AlfredHaynesLive]

I miss my Luther and my Whitney.

[cokokris1]

Luther should have looked back at Whitney when he was preaching about don't do drugs, That was weird watching that today, if Whitney had only listened to Luther

[AlfredHaynesLive]

@cokokris1 I was thinking the same thing!

[DARLENEIAM]

NEVER SAY NEVER, I CAN SAY I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO WHITNEY.

[troytoy63]

Luther preaching not to drink or do drugs is how he survived up to that point, While Whitney was in her deepest drug use in 99, She kept a straight face.......... She looked amazing by the way....

[ALIHOLLYWOOD]

Luther & Whitney i'm speechless!! #RIP

[foxylady6966]

Well she soon followed Luther what the voices in heaven must sound like it must be AMAZING xox

[Msdominitrix]

ohhh Whitney, how i miss you very much... i don't know you personally, but your music has been a incredible part of my life............. truly..........

[Amarenske]

Nice spoken Meisjelief2, I thought it also.

[Meisjelief2]

lUther en WHitney zingen nu boven de sterren van de hemel. Wat een gemis, nog steeds. Love Luther xx

[MadamM08]

So versatile and gifted... one gift singing to another = God's finest! I miss you both!

[MrDTJones1]

two of the BEST VOCALISTS ever. they sang live. they were family. so thankful for them and hope that luther and MJ and whitney and so many others are just singing and smiling in Heaven. see you soon!

[butternuttt]

whitney always wore some badass gowns!

[GeorgiaPeach87]

@butternuttt Yes she did!! with her supermodel body and height

[xLuvUWhit]

At 5:17-5:19 Luther says "he's never drank or did drugs ...he was here to tell a story" ... Im wonderin' WHY he didn't tell Witney that story !? Lol

[pecantan43]

I am still in shock. A beautiful WOMAN . Whitney rocked this world with her voice. You will be truely missed WHITNEY HOUSTON.

[KEVINCURTISLIVE]

I miss you whitney & Luther...they don't make em like you anymore...God must be putting together the most amazing choir in the sky ever!

[higirlize]

[yalecheerleder]

Treasures Found HERE!!

[htrfdes]

God I loveeeeeeed Whitney & Luther....Iam so sad today...

[MaryRSaunders]

They are now together. Heavens must be having the greatest concert EVER!! RIP Whitney and Luther (aka Luufa)

[rikkiboy123]

Whitney and Luther !!! Incomparable artists considering the shite we listen to today!!! RIP x

[lwangaaiesec]

And they are all gone!!.....life is not fair

[jbscott612003]

R.I.P. to two of the greatest!  Love and respect always!

[jbscott612003]

@jbscott612003 Oh Lord, and let us not forget Mr. Don Cornelius (the chief architect of bringing RnB and Soul music to the masses)... may his spirit rest with He who love him best.

[ViewerRitt]

Whitney and Luther!!!!! The greats!

[sunflowerJL]

I think our voices die with us.... ahem... part of our body, lungs, vocal chords and all that, what moves on after death is our spirit. This reminds us to appreciate the great voices while the vessels are alive to share them with us! We'll reunite with the spirit... but the physical voices goes with bodily death... sorry people, basic science. SO, appreciate the great ones while we can... we can be with their spirit in eternity... they their vocal sound is unique to this earth.

[TheLovelylove]

To quote Ms.Houston,Hell to the Nawww,where the hell was I when this came on TV,When was this '99 somethin?? And she sang So Amazing' my favorite Lutha song!

[tricia18aug]

Damn now she's gone... we have lost too many legends.

RIP Luther, Whitney, MJ and many others.

[tullytee]

Wow! Luther is gone, Don Cornelius is gone and now Whitney! 😢

[lmalbrue]

5:15 Whitney shouldve listened

[tytheeman20]

@lmalbrue Both Whitney and El DeBarge didn't listen to Luther's advice. It's crazy seeing that he said that and they both were on stage with him. 5:15

[OneTrillNigga07]

@lmalbrue first of all whitney was murdered it had nothing to do with drugs wake up!

[iheartmoxiebratz1205]

Thank you for the time you shared your music to the whole world....we really missing you and you still alive forever in our mind and to our heart,,,you have a big lost for us!!!we love you...

[iheartmoxiebratz1205]

I Loved both these artist...RIP both of you!

[Lottahead324]

Wow, I just came across this and now, jaimealayo, it is that time, a tribute for Whitney Houston, she will be truly missed. A voice like no other and although she may have lost her own way, she is still a beautiful amazing soul who will now grace the heavens to sing with the Angels. RIP Whitney, you may be gone but you will not be forgotten, may your legacy live on!!!!!

[loydayjacob]

[Dual971]

@paramedic4u21962 Must be rejoicing...

[IlovebeingAmerican]

@paramedic4u21962 wat about Micheal Jackson

[jnsash003]

@paramedic4u21962 OMG! The two most amazing singers

[bossmancarr]

@paramedic4u21962 Whitney is not in heaven

[bighare08]

@bossmancarr You don't know that! I'm assuming you are a Christian if so you and others can judge from a far a say this woman is not with God but you have no idea what happened at the final moments of this woman's life. Not trying to preach so please don't get offended because thats truly not my intention all I'm saying be very careful when it comes to judgement because that can backfire in a big way because no one and i mean no one is void of some type of sin.

[ndthomas81]

@paramedic4u21962 omgosh yes! I keep thinking about all talented ppl up there. "Heaven, I wanna go... to Heaven "

[akalaina]

@paramedic4u21962 im not saying that they werent talented (i freakin loved both) but are u really comparing whats in heaven to what we heared on earth?

[reg12269]

@paramedic4u21962 40m records? sounds very low, should be around at least 100m!

[kOkkaMJ]

@paramedic4u21962 just them?! Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Etta James and so on, Heaven is just too selfish.

[edencircumitus]

RIP, Whitney. WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

[Raoulirshan]

OMG Can't believe she died :( RIP Whitney Houston :'(

[mecarloseduardo]

R I P

[marion71355]

[GOTTYNO]

[lilia011267]

ПОТРЯСАЮЩИЙ ЛЮТЕР! СПАСИБО ЗА РАЗМЕЩЕНИЕ...

[camilla60731]

What year was this?

[ajncor]

Lusk. Seguramente será um prazer vir a conhecer melhor a voz de Luther, apesar de já não estar entre nós.

[ajncor]

Whitney Houston é desde sempre a minha voz ídole feminina e muito recentemente descobri a voz de Luther Vandross através do programa American Idol numa música cantada por Jacob

[sulli7714]

Whitney you are "So Amazing."

[Buttercreamstasty]

I wish Whitney like this back wow

RIP Luther we miss you

[BrenTheGorgeous]

lol yeah Whitney .. he aint enver did drugs and she is nodding in the background like hell no, never smoked crack before in my life LOL

[LongIslandBreeze]

Your music will LIVE on 4ever Luther .... RIP. Love your voice Whitney, just pure TALENT with her singing, she do nt need to show no skin as some people say selling SEX cause da child could SINGGGGG.

[therealbrandi202]

My female idol Whitney E. Houston and my male idol Luther Vandross!!!!#voices

[syedsobrie]

omg a slap on whitney's face... listen to his speech tsk tsk... i love u luther vandross

[invertedtube]

a real 'sista'? Why do you bleach your skin then love? I absolutely lovely Luther; he's the greatest, and Whitney Houston is incredible, I can't stand Tyra Banks however

[soulfulshonuff29]

WHY, WHY, WHY IS SHE NO LONGER ON THIS STATUS. I LOVE THIS WOMANS VOICE. MY GOODNESS DRUG DO DESTROY LIVES, FAMILIES AND AMAZING PPL. 

[sevenmendoyeah]

whitney arms like kermit the frog's

[dopey85xxx]

Whitney and her pips lol

[Dancer810]

The Whitney Houston seen here is no more. :-( She has now been diagnosed with the beginnings of emphysema...she has pretty much bit the dust, and her career is as good as over. Sooooo sad about this...had she made the right choices in her life, she still would have had a lot of good singing years left. I miss her voice....I miss her talent. :-(((

[Rancha007]

Luther RIP we miss you so much!!!!!

[rimbaud15]

stop to say about Luther he was fat, food isn't good.................. He WAS VERY ILL... before talking, read his biography

[MrDTJones1]

BEST live vocalist ever. and with luther and michael and others gone. she remains and pays tribute. class act. no female singer like this today.

[53LadyJay]

Good to See Luther and all his Glory Love Me some Luther

[MrTejeshwar]

i love you tyra......:D

[Jemone4u]

I am MADLY IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG.. BECAUSE of Whitney... SHE MURDERED THIS!!! lolol..

[honeegrrl]

I miss this Whitney Houston :-(

[keciad2]

i miss this whitney...

[ForeverComplaining]

@keciad2 I miss whitney, she's dead :(

[markflack]

Why! Whitney always seem to sing ahead??? She's always in front of the music.. Or am I just deaf or something?

[Bahia82]

@markflack she develop nodules on her vocal cords, when that happen you loose some of your 'vocal control".. so you can't sustain/hold notes like you use to. So she kinda developed that way of singing to try to deal with the nodules on her throat

[MrAllanb1]

It's odd, but since the early days of her career, Whitney is much better in the studio. When she first arrived on the scene..FIERCE, and then something happened. Not loving this.

[GospelRichard]

Whitney

Thank you!!. We will alway love you Luther.

[shlisa29]

Lord continue to use Whitney......

[animoloko1]

I honour all of you with your beautiful voices .... i love u all !

[mcifami]

lol whitney clapped when luther was talking about drugs, and nodded her head when he was saying do it right. poor girl.

[MrDTJones1]

one and only luther. miss him so much. and thanks to whitney and all the "boys" for this tribute. wonderful and SO AMAZING!

[SammSammmm]

I love Whitney to pieces from the bottom of my heart, but I bet she was feeling damn awkward when Luther was saying about drugs... o.O

[trey1029]

It's amazing that others fall back when she opens her mouth. It's more than being respectful of her, it's her presence.

[RiseyFlint]

Her voice is like steel. For me it was never about the high notes with Whitney, but those unbelievably gorgeous melismas and embellishments.

...and don't even get me started on Luther...my my my...

[MC1Diva]

Nothing lasts forever, even a God gifted, beautiful voice like Whitney Houstons. Thank YouTube for allowing us to see it again. haha!

[Bookworme95]

Why does the audience keep screaming? Why don't they shut up so we can hear the person speak?

[MlssCue]

Luther: A beautiful humble, human being, gone way too soon. Love & miss you Luther!!!!

[Meskiagkasher]

i had always wondered how the story would have turned out if whitney had married johhny gill instead of that other new edition boy who fucked up her life

[moroney1]

I wish this woman could still sing, what a loss

[36tookie]

this is the best rendition yet love it great performers 4 this tribute Whitney killed it

[TheMITCHELLSTEPHENS]

OMG! She sounds as good as she looks ... do you hear Johnny's unmistakable voice, backgrounding for Whitney. LOL

[Jaytimeakakobe]

sang it whitney!

[TheMrMarilyn]

Whitterz juss blew everyone a-WAY when she was 'firing on all cylinders'!!Oh man...how can you even put into words juss how outta this world she was/is!!Her voice (the same with Lootah) is juss truly a gift from God...and ah sure as HELL appreciate BOTH their contributions to music,and to mah life too!!They enriched the world when they sang...and always will,through their recorded work,in whatever format it was captured!!The highest praise and love to both mah bro and mah sis (ALL of ours)!!

[nezrani]

luther's "wooww" was so amazin!! luther rox!! oh and whitney a bad bitch!

[GeorgiaPeach87]

She looked like a super model walking out there! wow

[AnaisHuttner92]

Grab the audio from this vid at soundnabber doht cohm.

[jaimealayo]

Luther Vandross was a talented, outstanding, well recognized artist, one of a kind, deserving all kind of tributes, fortunately was rewarded while he was alive, and Whitney did it at the right time, and she also deserves a tribute like this, no matter her personal life, the most important thing is her talent to sing and and how she made us feel the good music.

[AFRICANBRO]

@jaimealayo whitney had her tribute ...w/monica, terry ellis, mr biggs....

[Ceedsmith]

@jaimealayo Actually, a tribute just like this one was done for Whitney at the same awards show the previous year. :) Ron Isley, Kenny Lattimore, Terry Elis, and Monica

[greatbydesign33]

Whitney made ALL of those male singers look like background NOBODY'S.

[greatbydesign33]

@PrinceNippy Luther did not understand that FOOD is a Drug. Food can kill just like drugs if you eat the garbage we call food today.

[BJONES19772003]

Luther! I miss him so much! Sing it Whitney!

[kemery22222]

who the hell is that in the crowd with that big ass pink hair???? 4:17

[Condomsense4u]

@kemery22222 ..Has definately gotta be Erykah "Marge" Badu,LOL!

[Bookworme95]

@kemery22222 That's Erykah Badu and that's one of those big ass wrap things she wore during that time.

[tdablack11]

it's too bad that tributes like this dont happen anymore!! These days everyone thinks they are too good to give the next person a tribute, but i love that back in the day, all singers were like family, not competitors.

[MrIJUSWANNALISTEN]

MOST CELEBS DONT APPEAR AT OTHER CELEBS FUNERALS BECAUSE THE PUBLIC LOOK FOR YOU TO PUT ON A SHOW

[zetecandi]

Someone can tell what is the video before when Whitney is with her dancers? Please someone ask me.

[crysta2k2]

Love her! Respect the queen!!!!

[bastlouis]

that woman can sing

[H3rb3rtW3hn3r]

Too bad Whitney did not go the same healthy path that Luther went down. A shame to let her great talent and voice go to waste over the years :-(

[RebbieFan]

@H3rb3rtW3hn3r You know Luther had lifelong weight issues, was diabetic, had a massive stroke and died of a heart attack 2 yrs later, right?

[H3rb3rtW3hn3r]

@RebbieFan

I did not know that. I am a diabetic myself. But he did not bring his health issues on himself, as opposed to Whitney, who got into her substance abuse by own choice.

[RebbieFan]

@H3rb3rtW3hn3r He sure did. Type 2 diabetes can definitely come about due to certain diet/lifestyle decisions. Over eating, lack of exercise, yo-yo dieting, and and ignoring doctor's orders killed him. Now Whitney did what she did, but that doesn't make others angels. Whether you believe an addiction to food is better than an addiction to drugs is your moral call, but be aware that everyone has their own demons. That said, I do wish she still had it like she used to :/

[ThePharaoho]

@H3rb3rtW3hn3r What? It's called not taking care of yourself and neither of them did, but Whitney is still here. RIP Luther. The greatest male singer ever!

[moroney1]

@H3rb3rtW3hn3r any kind of addictiion is not solely the person's fault. BE it and eating disorder or drug addiction, no on chooses these things, life experiences effect people greatly

[ArchiducDeBelgrade]

So much soul.. Luther is one of the greatest.. and The Greatest gave him this amazing tribute.. God bless them..

[pathetic321]

going to a funeral justifies sh*t all.

I have gone to funerals of people i anit keen on, yet i've missed funerals of people i adore.

[nippy4life1]

Whitney's Mother Cissy appeared at the Funeral

[wisdommusic1]

she could sing her ass off back in the day. i wonder what happen, why she got lost.....

[goatygeezer]

i feel she tried to do too much to this song, obviously taking nothin away from her talent tho

[ebbiesart]

RIP Luther Vandross ... You are sorely missed. I haven't heard a great love song since Luther died.

[WH012]

wow the end of this was scary. what he had to say at the end of his speech, with Whitney standing right behind him... nevertheless, what a great performance. Whitney's singing and talking voice is out of this world!!!

[jonippy24]

Whitney!!!no one could have done it better!

she is TRUUULY the best and is SO AMAZING!

[may1978ad]

wonderful voice.....

[anastacio278]

ERA SÓ CAGAÇAL NA SALA

[IGAP1958]

Luther was de beste soul zanger ooit voor mij ......ik mis hem ongelooflijk.......Thx Whitney

[aquabayb]

WOW!

[nflati123]

God we miss you Luther!

[nippy22]

Alassic songstress who can sing just about anything yeah! that's my Whitney

[pinkiepos]

[nippyreigne]

[sonicesocool]

If she had just stooped the crack there. NEED that VOICE.

[mariewilder]

Phenomenal Whitney.  Phenomenal Whitney. Miss you so much Luther!!!!

[tamagoatama602]

I miss Luther Vandross so much. He died so young, I miss all the gifts he had yet to give us.
