  • In 10 minutes she showed to Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kate Perry, Jessy J and other singers like them: How to sing because you have talent and true emotion to pass through the music.

  • beautiful you whitney

  • She Was Singin So Hard She Started Soundin Like Her Moma. Yu Go Grl !!!

  • ela é foda!!

  • 3:48 The whole earth....SHATTERED!!!!

  • @Wiccasfun and she didn't have to weigh 300lbs to do it!

  • Love her performance

  • I prefer JH version of And I'm telling you!

  • @guiantony JH SCREAM, WHITNEY SINGS.

  • @fireandrain22 i don't know what you can scream but anyway I prefer JH version! and I listen a lot Whitney Houston I don not hate her!

  • @guiantony Jennifer Holliday/Whitney Houston >>>> Jennifer Hudson

  • did she perform I Will Always Love You?

  • puts the weight watchers girl to shame!!

  • Chills.

  • every song she touches turns to diamond. Diamond with the likes of whitney will shine forever.

  • Whitney's voice is incomparable she is THE QUEEN , she is not inspiration because absolutely no one can even interpret her VOICE who in da hell else can make Porgy and Bess its own soulful song , WHITNEY has left a mark on music that no one can replace BECAUSE NO ONE HAS A VOICE POWERFUL ENOUGH THEN AND NOW SHE WILL ALWAYS BE THE VOICE

  • HA HA!!! YES MA'AM YES GAWD!!!!! That's pure talent!!!

  • OMG THIS IS TEH WHITNEY I MISS. NO OTHER SINGER CAN FUCK WITH THE OLD WHITNEY

  • Streisand still has a lot on her resume....this particular performance, however, has me speechless, and she makes me PROUD PROUD PROUD to be from NJ ..... she's still done the best NATIONAL ANTHEM of all time, I love J Hudson, too, but guess what....? No way. the passion? the ability? no way u can't say Whitney has it all, always did always will. Bottom line. Whitney is the best.

  • @pptguru99

    Agreed. Whitney has set the bar so high that every new female vocalist would have to look at it to see if they could meet the standard. Just as I said before, a hen can sometimes fly higher than an eagle. But a hen can never fly to the height that an eagle could. Whitney is the highest flying eagle in the history.

  • @Doooku mariah is better

  • @TheXwatts In your fucking dreams

  • Whit-Whit showed OUT this nite, YES SHE DID!!

  • @rickgarza95 I wonder what you sound like???

  • i also got to say, what a stunning drum and percussion arrangement :-)

  • How right would those words be if whitney sung them today :(

    She was and will always be... the greatest singer. I don't care if pavarotti hits better notes or w.e. Whitney has got this amazing sound, Power and just talent.

    Hands down she is the best and idc if anyone says otherwise as she is the best!!!

  • simply amazing...

  • WHITNEY!!!!!!

  • I really hope someone uploads a high quality version of this one day. Its phenomenal!

  • this woman deserves to be a diva.

  • technically Whitney at her peak is The best vocalist ever. I think she lacks a little soul, and her version of this is better than Hudson but not a patch on the original but god this girl is good, could listen to her all day and im still in love with her all these years later lol :-)

  • @gentmartin

    Yes, she is such an incredible artist. She inspired me and taught me the new way of appreciating music and arts. She opened door to music lovers and aspiring singers.

  • @Doooku thats brilliant, love, peace and best wishes to you :-)

  • @gentmartin

    the same to you.

  • @gentmartin Jennifer Holliday's performance of this is one of the greatest things witnessed by Broadway...

  • @gentmartin she has soul in her voice

  • @gentmartin but what impresses me is how whitney majors soo easily on the 'I' im 'I'm not going' whereas Holiday has to range through it, whitney just POPS right into the note like...perfection XD

  • @reaceness i agree, but the song demands soul and passion and feeling, and Whitneys flawless voice is just too perfect for it. Her version doesnt turn my guts inside out then wring them dry like Ms Holidays does...

  • @gentmartin and that like...desperate ghasp of air that jennifer holiday does at the end! its very dramatic ^^

  • @reaceness

    yes, you are right. By the way, is it you in the picture of the profile? you look handsome.

  • @Doooku yes of course thats me lol

  • @Neno8403

    I have removed all the messages by TarantulaCandy and blocked this disgraceful animal from making comments again. And I also removed the strong and inappropirate comments by Neno8430. I would have to remind you that you don't need to downplay or curse other singers to praise Whitney. Whitney doesn't need it either. Strong racial words are prohibited here.

  • @Doooku Hey, do what you wish. I'm not sure what "racial" words you're referring to. Either way, I don't care. I will defend those who are spoken out against, in ignorance. I don't happen to care for Miss Holliday... that's my prerogative. I think Miss Holliday did an amazing job on the song... but she was nasty to Whitney for this performance. Anyone who is really a fan of Whitney, knows that she spoke out harshly against Whitney, for singing this song. For that, she's like Etta James to me.

  • @Neno8403

    Just tuned down a bit. That one I blocked is a loser but it doesn't mean we should take it serious. I don't know whether Hudson badmouthed Whitney. But again, it doesn't matter. Whitney's status has recognized by the industry and the world.

  • @Neno8403

    Etta James had dementia, and that was probably part of the reason why she insulted Beyonce.

  • ive never heard whitney sing so hard and sound good,my my wooh,gurl singing

  • Bobby brown going straight to hell

  • Anyone that has something bad to say about whitney houston come and see me cuz y'all. Just haterz

  • @argenies141

    Since you were very rude, very ignorant, and lack of manner. I deceided to remove your post and ban you from the conversation which only belongs to intelligent people.

  • @argenies141

    Be careful with your wording. No one knows whether she can be trained and I don't see her potential higher than Whitney. Her voice is rather limited in terms of timbre and color.

  • She is SOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! Not just here but always!

  • PLEASE STOP HATING SHE IS MS.HOUSTON!!!!!!

  • whitney sang her heart out here. and gave respect for ms. holliday. this song was not popular when whitney sang it. so she gave respect. and jennifer hudson loves some whitney. she nailed this in the movie. won an Oscar. she copied the vocal licks and loves whitney. whitney is THE VOICE. always has been and always will be.

  • the best ever!

  • @youresoshain

    Apparently the audiences felt connected. They were very excited and giving standing ovation. I felt disconnected when listening to Jennifer Holliday's version--she just over-acted when shouting, the yelling, and bursting into tears,, etc., There was degree of emotion. The controlled emotion expression oftentimes exceeds the lack of control, which is Jennifer's case.

  • @Doooku they were connected because its whitney and she's an amazing vocalist. This is a broadway song, and it is meant to be emoted through acting as its being sung, something you obviously don't get.

  • @youresoshain

    I think you don't get it. You are confusing here. You don't the logic right. Was Whitney's show a Broadway show? No, it was not. It's American Award performance. It meant NOT to be like Broadway show. CAN Whitney do a similar Broadway show like Mrs. Holliday? Yes, of course.

    Do you listen to Opera? It's also similar to Broadway show. But we don't see audiences get connected by over-acting, in fact, performers get booed when overacting. DO YOU GET IT NOW?

  • @youresoshain

    add more: The true reason here that you felt not connected is because YOU HAVE NO SOUL. With this little thing you can put on here, you think you could make a point here?

  • @misterbee66 fuck off

  • I cannot believe haters have the nerve to come here and bash this performance as if the had an ounce of the musical tLent whitney does ha! The nerve, anyways there will only be one Whitney Houston this was beyond amazing omg!

  • @Debooh661

    Agreed. many were educated by this awesomeness.

    Cheers

  • @misterbee66 And yet both of those bitches are irrelevant (especially bitter old Miss Holliday) and none have received the praise that Whitney's had.

  • I hope god is holding her voice in box so when she gets herself straight he can give it back to her because wow

  • and i thought Jennifer Hudson was the best at this song...HAVEN'T HEARD THIS ONE YET!! OMFGGG

  • @PedroYounisGoncalves still going for jennifer ;-)

  • WWOOOOWWW!! That's that powehouse rvocal right there!!! The auto-tuners of this generation WISH they could sing like that :P

  • Irreplaceable Whitney! One and only!

    There will never be anyone better than Whitney!

  • SHE JUST PUT ON A WHOLE CONCERT!! KEY CHANGES AND ALL FLAWLESS!!! I LOVE AND MISS THIS WHITNEY!!! THERE WILL NEVER BE ABOTHER LIKE HER EVER!!!

  • @lilkenjr

    There is a small boy called Jack Vidgen. Quite good. He at least filled part of my emptiness after Whitney retired.

  • @lilkenjr if you mean the voice,just watch joelle moses audition and think that with a little bit of training she could blow whitney faaaaaaar away

  • @argenies141

    Be careful of your wording. When someone said "blow Whitney faaaaar away" I will be definitely interested. But I don't see a sign of it. Joelle has a loud voice but not necessarily beautiful. She hit the middle register too loud which make her higher register a bit weak--when she sang 'Stay in my arm" she lost control on the high note--a common mistake for the beginner. Her voice is loud, but not concentrated and focus. There is no "ring" in her voice. She should learn head voice

  • It's a shame Osama didn't have Bobby Brown's head blown off.

  • A queen.

  • OMG!!!! She slayeeeeeddddd this song.. down... sorry I am so moved by this today..

  • I had the chills through this whole song! This lady can SANG! 4get all ya haters Whitney they just mad cuz they don't have ur incredible talent

  • i miss her

  • whitney... whitney... whitney... with performance like this you earned the right to be called THE VOICE...you are truly a blessing to the ears of mankind!

  • i swear if i was in that room i wouldnt have lasted this full performance....i would have been out cold from goosebumps!!! and HOW THE HELL did her voice last that full 10 minutes with all them notes!!!...WHAT A PRO!

  • thanks for posting and uoploading..;)

  • All of this and she still yet managed to keep all of her clothes on too. Hmmm

  • OMG YOU DO NOT HAVE EARS???????? RIAHNA???? POBRES WEONES QUE NO SABEN DE OIDOS NI DE COMPARACIÓN...

  • Whitney Houston look and sang fabulous during this performance. I was always a fan of her since of style as well as her voice.

  • Love it.....Thank you for posting it..

  • Oh my God, İ am absolutely enchanted by her. What a great power she has.

  • Porgy by Barbara S

  • @alpahaGod "I Loves You, Porgy" IS NOT by no damned Barbra Streisand. I don't know what crackerjack box you found that erroneous factoid from. That song is a classic from the 1935 Gershwin play, "Porgy & Bess".

  • What is the name the first song? please!!..

  • no one can sing live for 2 minutes these days. she wore it and and gave it emotion and heart. mariah, katy, celine, charice, riri, etc...never gonna be another VOICE. she owned it! love all those other "singers"...but this is THE SINGER in her prime time. thank you whitney...you give good love and SONG.

  • never heard a better version of "and i am telling you"! to sing like that for 10 minutes!!! WOW. too bad someone didn't take out BB

  • 71 people need to go find something to do.

  • what's a beyonce?

  • All I can do while watching this is, shake my head...she did THAT!!...All though Whitney does not have her Voice now, I will never take her credit away because her voice was truly one of the BEST anyone's EVER heard....

  • bless you girl!!!!! absolutely amazing from the original DIVA!!!!

  • seventeen years she did this and it is still an indestructible performance. and two of those songs aren't even hers to begin with!

    it's not even just the voice; the arrangement, the delivery and the skill necessary to pull this off is staggering.

  • WHITNEY HOUSTON IS MY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE ! AHHHHHH !

  • wow... whitney, celine and mariah... they're truly the holy trinity!

  • TAKE ME TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the one and only whitney kiza christina pueda hacerlo lago en vivo tan limpio como la "voz" houston de resto NINGUNA

  • NO ONE CAN COMPARES TO WHITNEY HOUSTON.. SHES THE ONE AND ONLY.. AND THE DIVA OF ALL DIVAS...

  • live performance at its best. she rules! and no one does this today. this is VOCAL talent. it is all about production now. never be another whitney houston. EVER.

  • now I'm not one to bring other people into someone else's video but jack vidgen's version of IATY and IHN are awesome... Of course, I'm sticking with the Houston version but I'm just making you aware of another! :)

  • THE ONE AND UNIQUE DIVA : WHITNEY HOUSTON!!!!!

  • THE ONE AND UNIQUEWHITNEY HOUSTON!!

  • Hands down on of the best female vocalists of all times! Whitney could sing anything with no effort at all...just opened her mouth and SANNNGGG! NO ONE in today's time could hold a candle to her. Beyonce, Rhianna, Kesha Cole WHO??

  • Sang girl . . .

  • Watching this video makes me recall how magnificent her voice was. What a great loss for all who loved to hear her sing.

  • I miss her voice I was pretty pissed when I saw Bobby in this vid lol

  • Whitney was so amazing in her day. Its a shame that she lost her talent over the years.

  • Her voice truly is a "National Treasure".......

  • the very first and last diva!!!

  • And I'm telling you 71 people Have Nothing

  • Amazing!

  • WHITNEY AND MARIAH ARE TRUE DIVAS, DO NOT LIKE LADY GAGA, KATY PERRY, RIHANNA, THEY ARE TRUE TALENT

  • THE BEST PLANET VOICE , I LOVE YOU WH. It comes back SOON, it does ENORMOUS FAULT. I LOVE YOU

  • I love whitney houston she is the best to ever do it the best that will

  • no one has ever been better, than this wunderfull voice!!

    I love her and i pray for her, every one should do this

    because whitney gave us so manny unbelieveable good and the best music hours

    bravooo whitney !!!!!!

  • There is no one today of this caliber. . What a pity. She left her contemporaries in the dust. Let's be thankful heard such a voice. We love you, Whitney!!

  • WOW SHE'S GOT IT ALL HERE...THE HIGHEST FEMALE TONE OF ALL SINGERS...WOW

  • And people try to say she's not the greatest singer of all time? NO ONE COMES CLOSE to the Godess that is Whitney Houson!

  • I look forward to the day that someone new comes even close.

  • OMG this is the Whitney I remember and desperately want back

  • This here is why I love her so much!!

  • she set a standard. wow. i love JHol and and JHud. but Whitney claimed it and she broke through. mariah did not. celine did not. love them both. and charice? no.

  • che meraviglia!!!

  • most singers today wouldn't be able to handle one of those songs let alone three vocally challenging songs back to back with no backing track or back up singers, just her a band and a mic, this is what set her apart from the rest

  • Did u imagine so much sound coming out of such a small frame She sang this song what a unforgetable performance i recorded this back then

  • ....Don't make me close one more door Whitney.....your voice has changed so much I'm still a big fan, always....

  • Whitney can stand flat-footed and belt out a miraculous sound like this as if she's talking!

  • Look at that ignorant ex-husband of hers sitting on the front row! Smh!

  • te amo, i love you, bona mor!!!!!

  • te amo, i love, bona mor!!!!!

  • Damn she did three vocally exhausting songs and still nailed it!

  • hop off, god will restore her voice trust me

  • its my first time to see this video !!! and i never know there is a whitney performance of this song!!! really amazing!!! the only singer in the world who really fits the word "DIVA"

  • now her voice has a little crack in it

  • Im so sad she lost her voice to drugs :/ poor whitney she was AMAZING.. and still is just her voice is not as pure as her voice use to be

  • no words to say!!!!! those songs have been sung by Whitney are all EFFORTLESS to her

  • maravilhosa como sempre!

  • Whitney Houston is a legend, but i must admit Jennifer Hudsons version in Dream girls i AMAZING!! Jennifer nailed that song.

  • My My My

  • Her voice, presence, and beauty seem inhuman here.

  • No matter what you think this was a great performance....I love the porgy and bess and dreamgirls aspect of it brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • two words: DA-YUMN!

  • @jpbx1982 And your comment shows what ignorance will do. By Whitney's own admittance, she was already heavy into drugs by the time this performance was done, so I'm not sure what relevance your comment has. You're not god. Save the judgmental comments for someone else. This video is about positivity and greatness.

  • Say No More!! Thank You! Amen!!

  • Gotta love the introduction by Reba! :D Whitney was great.

  • Yes!!! You are Whitney Houston. You are in my heart........now and forever.

  • In 10 minutes, Whitney sang better than the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kesha and all the rest of those skanks have in the entire collective careers!

  • @marquise2005 u didnt even name any real talent truth is nobody wanted to vocally duel with Whitney at her best and all those young girls who can sing like beyonce, Jenifer Hudson, Fantasia they wanted to be this good and still do

  • @marquise2005 amen to that!

  • thats a bad bitch right there

  • anybody that says whitney massacred this song does not have an ear for music...she is on, key and pitch and did and excellent job...this was when whitney was on top of her game.....i can not say the same for 2011 but here no doubt about it the women was amazing!!!! mind you she is singing live no auto-tune live people...live!!!!

  • Queen

  • This is one of my favourite Whitney's performance, she is just awesome!!

  • i'm crying !!!

  • CHE MERAVIGLIA!!!

  • Whitney Houston massacred that song. Jennifer Holiday wipes the floor with Whitneys voice. Jennifer Holiday is the only one who puts the soul into that song. She is the original and everyone else is ..just 2nd. Nice try Whitney but Holiday knocked it out of the park with soul and passion. You cannot even come close.

    Holiday is untouchable on this one!!!

  • @zander410 absolutely. She has massacred the song! How can people say otherwise?!!

  • @zander410 Yeah okay!!!!!!! "looks at zander410 crazy"

  • @zander410 And yet Jennfier Holliday's old bitter irrelevant ass is on the record as being very upset with Whitney for performing this song live, because in one fell swoop, Whitney got more positive acclaim, reviews, and airplay for this ONE performance, than any of the thousands Jennifer had ever done. Radio stations across the country were playing this song endlessly the day after this showstopping performance. When's the last time anyone's played Jennifer's growling bear version???

  • @Neno8403

    be nice now LOL

    whitney did kill though

  • @Neno8403 I just laughed so hard reading your comment. That was hilarious "growling bear version" ahahahaha

  • wow cant believe im only now finding this

  • Too bad she can't sing anymore she's really good. I heard.

  • Oh yes! this is what a real singer sounds like...Whitney is a true DIVA!!!!!

  • wonderful performance and shes definitely getting her voice back God already has a plan 4 that just b patient she did great on the celebration of gospal 2011

  • Oh how I wish Whitney could still sing like this. The drugs took their toll on her though.

  • SHIT! What a voice!

  • Fierce!Amazing...and all this with smile that says THIS IS SO EASY and natural to me

  • Look what that motherfuckker Bobby took away from us...........

  • @jjk5463 - yep, what a deep shame.

  • Look what that motherfuckker Bobby took away from us...........
