2:30-2:33 :/ this is around the time when she should have just stop and rested. We would have understood and you would have been able to preserve your voice! <3
I don't like performances where Whitney decides to darken her voice throughout entire song. It makes me think of that fat Asian karaoke girl whatever her name was. Fortunately Whitney didn't do it often.
@thabigcohuna singers can alter the colour of their voices by the manipulating the position of the larynx. Whitney never did it 'over the top' but i still don't like it being done by anyone.
@MrJudube you know there were times when whitney's voice was naturally darker an deeper. for example the monthly can cause that, or if she has been smoking a lot or her vocal chords are tired. whether she did it on purpose here, this songs requires strong and mature vocals, i couldn't see mariah singing this for example
tear it up whitney. thank you and love you. what a gift to all of us. i love this song from Cece and happy you covered it. a double gift. i Don't Cry...i smile.
Whitney was really at a peak during 1993-1994. I feel so lucky that I was able to hear her live in '93. I rememer I couldn't believe I was hearing such a perfect voice live. I also remember that she didn't miss a note.
Whitney Houston reminds me of my mom so much during this performance. Her mannerisms and especially that LOOK.
I wish my mom could sing like that though, haha, world would be a whole different place for us lol.
That being said, this performance was probably one of the most raw and beautiful that she's ever done. Stuff like this is why she is really considered a living legend, regardless of the ups and downs she's had.
@tangled55 lol I totally agree, I think every woman wanted to look like Whitney during this time. I know my Mom looks a lot like her when I see photos. :) She is indeed a beautiful woman.
I just realized another thing that separates Whitney from other singers. This woman gives it 150% everytime she takes the stage and this shows it. She is the personification of a female singer and there will never be another like her.
@Darkel1992 please they are so many great musicians, producers & singers who place whitney among the great vocalists in history. you wanna make us believe they don't "know about the voice"? please
what is the greatest singer but she has bad habits and her technique isn't what it would be if she had voice trainging formally, but as well she has good habits. take the good with the bad. but i love her. i can't judge her on anything and i ain't trying too. i love her and have always...
@sxybachottie You might not have been around, but I remember. Whitney had just come from a concert in Brazil and flew all the way back for this performance....she was due a crack in her voice from exhaustion.
I miss that voice. I wonder if i will ever hear anything like that again. Yes, there are a lot of people out there who can sing, but whitney that something else in her voice that was so special- sort of like the old timers. I don't know if anyone else out there has that.
I am Whitney's greatest fan...I have a playlist on my profile devoted to her. But even I have to be realistic and stop living in the past. Whitney will never sound like this again. Its called "science". She's not 30 years old anymore ... she has aged and her voice has changed with it ... that's with pristine health. Whitney might be able to sound as good as she did around the "My Love is Your Love-era", but don't hold your breath from "Bodyguard-era" Whitney. It's not gonna happen.
I think you are a little too attached, honey. That can't be healthy. I was as crazy about whitney as anyone else and would certainly like to see her succeed. But facts are facts and they are okay to be expressed. So let's not get delusional here. These are just youtube comments. You take this stuff too seriously. That's not a good sign. Let go some. It can only help in the long run.
hoh whitney.... how could I stop my tears from falling down if you have such a beautufull voice.... ??? don't cry for me!!! but that's imposiible... I want your voice back....
Is she screaming? Or is she actually properly using her pipes? I'm concerned that she's only screaming really well and not singing really well. @ 2:30 you can hear her voice get hoarse for a second.
This performance likely took place immediately after Whitney wrapped up the massive two-year long Bodyguard Tour ... the tour that is infamous for damaging her voice because she developed vocal nodules from excessive singing of powerhouse songs. So if her voice cracked its because it was probably very worn out and strained by that time.
i know this is about whitneys performance but i do have to agree with u on christina aguilera she has great potential but over sings allot instead of taking her time and building up she tries to be to much like whitney and mariah and that takes away from who she is as a singer whitney and mariah are in a class of there own no disrespect to christina but she needs to be christina and craft her own vocal ability so she will stand out from the rest and she will be fine just my opinion
well thats not a first.. the two have shared the stage many many times...and are best friends... but actually letis is bebe's song that he let cece put out.. lol she begged him to let here sing.. lol
There's only one Whitney but I wish people would stop hating on Beyonce! She Does have a great voice as well. Christina is also talented. But it's pointless to compare the three to one another. Each artist has their individual sound.
wow i know i watch WH vids to much, i just noticed that this is the exact same style dress she wore in 93 at the billboard awards , just a diff folor. I like this color more lol :-)
Christina could have already Been on Mariah and Whitney's level...but she always seems to go LEFT field with her music...i mean i understand she feels the need to change up sumtime but she needs to realize that the FANS are the ones she is making the music for....her next album she is talking about goin TECHNO!!!! i was like WTF!?!?!?....i luv christina man...her voice is definitly 1 of the most powerful in music history...but if she releases a TECHNO album im not buying dat shit lol....
I agree so much. Christina has the potential to go to legend status in terms of vocals, but she needs to close in her genre a bit more. She goes from Pop to R&B to Techno to Jazz to Blues to Hip-Hop influenced tracks and she has fans spread all over the place who like only parts of her music. She should stick to songs like Beautiful, Mercy On Me, Walk Away etc...
ANYWAY - BACK ON TOPIC - LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE - WHITNEY IS THE BEST VOCALIST OF ALL TIME.
True Dramatic Soprano. Jennifer Hudson, Christina wish they could sing like this. Whitney in her sleep could outsing those girls and I am not being shady. You know how long this woman been sangin?
This is that baddest Diva on the face of the earth! There ain't a singer in this new generation can match her vocal power and abilities.. Bless Whitney Houston.. My queen forever!
there isnt anyone who can.. She sang the shi* out of this song my god. That is how you get into the guts of a song and it cant be taught. When people say that someone is good but there is nothing behind it they are talking about everything that Whitney doesnt do. She is in every word and every note. Brilliant!!
actually bebe winans wro te this song... cece asked him could she PLEASE sing it lol... and he let her put it out instead of him.. he originally wrote it for him
WHITNEY IS NOT HUMAN!!!!! WHO ELSE CAN STAND STILL AND SING LIKE THIS. iS HER VOICE GOOD NOW? eVERYONE HEALS. I WANT PEOPLE TO STOP THE MADNESS. hOW CAN A VOICE LIKE THIS BE GONE FOREVER.
i wish everyone could forget that Whitney did drugs and stuff. i love her to death and no one can ever change my mind about her. She is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
nope, there will never be another Whitney! She is the best..i like Cece and all that but this is WHITNEY's music so leave Cece out of it! WHITNEY IS THE ONE!
This IS why we love Whitney...I've never seen this...I wish Arista or BMG would release a DVD with nothing but live performances by this incredible lady. Oh Whitney, You Are Loved!!!
there is only one thing to say when you hear 'THE VOICE' DAMN!!!!! her vocals are not human i cannot wait until the new albums comes out thank you so much for sharring.
lol she gonna say "I luv u...u know why cuz u just u" lol now im gonna go round school sayin tht
