whitney was the last great original soul singer she came inbetween real singing and pop singing. You had aretha and gladys tina and chaka khan and then whitney then came all the copy cats until maybe lauryn hill there hasnt really been a great singer and interpreter since. Beyonce and xtina are nice singers but they are ultimately popstars.
lol Whitney was really singing..specially with that loud backing track!..amazing how she knows how to work the song ...she was already showing how professional she was b4 stardom. this is a real STAR
I get so tired of hearing people try to compare singers like Celine,Beyonce,Christine and countless others to WH.....people WH was the standard bearer from whom these others learned. WH is the greatest of the greats, so please write that down so you don't soon forget it.
@WHITESLICK10 For Celine it is understandable( they both started in the early mid 80's and the both have truly unique voices and powerhouse vocals). For the two others, even if Xtina have a very powerful and warm voice and great vibrato, her voice lacks balance between soft and power, she does not even come close. Beyonce better be compared to Aaliyah or Chanice Williams or that type of singers vocally. She does not even deserve to be compared to WH vocally.
Owwww, thanks for this one!!! I'm looking for years for this song! Lisbeth List once said that Whitney was great here. Se once had to hear the song and sang it right away. She's the best!
Sorry i was wrong this wasnt in mix, it was chest falsetto and light chest :-( I still wish she had this variety of tone. Arghh Whitney I wish you would practice with MJ's coach Seth Riggs again and take practice seriously!
This is not Germany, but The Netherlands!!!! The Dutch singer is Liesbeth List, she is singing in Dutch. Is a nice song. I'm from The Netherlands. When I was younger, Oké much younger. I saw this live on tv. We love Whitney!!!!!!!!
WOW, AT FRIGGING 21singing with a legend outseide of her comfort zone. Ya better respect Whitney for life. All the way in Germany getting respect, singing with class. Who else has done that in the pass 15 years, who?
@Bahia82 wow. What the hell does Beyonce have to do with this? I don't even care about her, but you're just a straight up hater bringing her into something that is completely irrelevant! are you aware that 2 decades separate these two women? Wow. Just wow.
and btw, Beyonce's vibrato is not forced. As someone who's been studying vocal technique for 15 years, I can say Beyonce has perfect controlled vibrato, and she has such technical control over it she can change its weight and speed at will.
Germany and The Netherlands...: 2 different countries!!! Why do people always think dutch is german???

Her hair was in "High-Growth mode" here. It was nearly bald on the debut album photoshoot. By the time we reach the 1986 Grammy's, her hair is HUGE!
