@Opinionatedjerk Whitney and Chaka did back up vocals for one another on each other's version of "I'm Every Woman" Her and Chaka Khan were very close. I don't believe she's always wanted to be Chaka, but Whitney may cite her as a musical influence. Whitney has her own style. She covers songs she likes and always does a phenominal job in my opinion. I don't think Whitney Houston wants to be or should be anyone other than who she already is, The Voice. Love you Whitney! :)
Lord have mercy. Just when i thought i heard everything Whitney sung. This girl can sing anything she wants and rocks it. What a true legend and a shoe that will never be filled, just like MJ the King.
She's only covering this song because Chaka did the backup vocals for the original and performed it many times live. Whitney has always wanted to be Chaka but will never be the Queen.
@OpinionatedJerk That's why Whitney's version of "I'm Every Woman" is the de facto version and Chaka was in the video looking as irrelevant as ever. Whitney's debut album has outsold Chaka's entire career, so I think we know who the REAL Queen is... Miss Whitney Elizabeth Houston, not some 70s R&B flop who's released 17 albums and only six of them have charted. #FAIL
Great, another moron who quotes album sales as if sales equal talent or relevance to anything. By that way of thinking, we might as well say that Katy Perry's album was better than Michael Jackson's because it grossed more singles and that Avatar is the greatest movie of all time because it grossed more than all others. You and that "Did Nick Jonas write this song" person are made from the same cloth.
Whitney Houston is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FEMALE I've ever been blessed with the sight of, I've seen VERY MANY beautiful females but Whitney Houston is BEAUTIFUL throughout inside and outside and her gift of a voice is gifted to all of us with the love of THE LADY herself Ms Whitney Houston. THE ONE!!!! XXXX
She could make a song about poop sound good. My God, there is nothing she can't sing and totally reinvent to make me love it. I HATE this song so much when Steve sings it but her...I LOVE it and want MORE!
@READY4REVELATION LOL. You must not be aware that Whitney is a former fashion model? She started off her career modeling and then migrated to singing.
I love the live version of her singing this song. Until tonight,I really didn't know she did this song. Everything must change but this is the Whitney I love and remember. I will always love Whitney!!! Job well done.
LMAO!!!!!.....man i cant do anything but laugh at whitney houston.....dude this woman can take ANY song and make her own!!!!!.....what a gift she has.......she just amazes me....
Wow!! She a gift from god....higher love haha!! I remember seeing her live in1999 my love is your love tour I recall thinking how loud her voice was but yet so pretty ..
I have the Japan version of Im your baby tonight album and after hearing her remake of this i can attest this was one of her stronger performance than that of bodyguard that would come after. Between 1990 -1992(early) she was vocally un- challengable I'm Your baby tonight is my favorite album of hers for that reason alone THAT VOICE!!
i never cared for this song when steve winwood sang it but whitney can make me like any song no matter how much i hate it. she brought new meaning to this song imo. loved it :)
Never listened to this version before and it's a fantastic one. It has a different kind of vibe than the original winwood version but it's really nice and cool.
Whitney had a beautiful voice back then and she was such a classy lady and beautiful herself.
and you know everyone at the time this was considered a bad vocal performance compared to Whitneys REGULAR performances. It just goes to show how GREAT she WAS!!!!!!!!!
WE NEED HER BACK!!!!!
If you believe in prayer (which I have tried but to no avail) I appeal to you PLEASE send your prayer in for Whitney - WE NEED HER VOICE BACK - maybe if we send a group prayer up we'll be answered. Love always xx
Whitney looked so amazingly cute during this performance. She reminds me of how she looked during her concert at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC back in 1997.
@YOSHEBA22 The song was produced and was supposed to be on the "I'm Your Baby Tonight" record, but as with many songs, it didn't make the final cut. That's why she performed it during this concert ... odds are the song had already been recorded for the album.
@YOSHEBA22 It was a single on the japan version of "im your baby tonight" you have to get the import version from japan.. they added two extra songs to the japan version the us had only 11 songs and japan version had 13.
AMAZING VERSION GREAT AND SOOO PURE! this is the only time she ever did this song live!!!! what a shame, ...it is one of the best I have seen....thank you!
@ msicexpo....I wish I could accompany you when you do it!!! LOL!! Ignore these idiots. This is the same idiot that would swear Brittany sings live every performance! We all know Whitney is the real deal!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The arrangement is terrible. She's great, but the voice and the music don't work together. You can't "funk" this song and swing it like this. Doesn't work. And that gated bass drum that over-rides everything. Shit!
first off once again R.I.P MJ..thanks to ALMIGHTY GOD we still have Whitney...these people(legends) dont jus come around everyday...love to whitney all day no matter what..thanx for all the music u've given to us
@JonasGurlz6776 Nick Jonas?! lmao ...this song predates him I think, he would have been either really young when this song originally came out or not even born yet. This is Steve Winwood's baby ...it's just been covered by many people since then.
This is from Japan in 1990,it was a special shown only in Japan and was sponserd by Sanyo Tv because Whitney did ads for them that were also only aired in Japan.
lol I agree (those legs!!!) but I just cant get over how much more meat she seems to have on in this video compared to her usual frame...must have been bloated (you know how ladies get during that time??)!!!:)
Whitney voice is like flawless..... i mean she can sing anything.... she can't move to much though...lol... but i guess with a voice like that who cares if you don't have to much rhythm
wao,,i havent seen this video,,wao she is amazing,,extremely good in live performance she does it like its nothing,,,naturally,,,simple relax,,,she is the best,,,,,,,THe VOICE,,,i miss her,,
this is very rare! The first and only live version of that song that I've ever seen! True, the audio version on cd is amazing! She did a great vocal performance!
I'd suggest you buy the original version of this by the original artists which was Steve Winwood feat. Chaka Khan! Their video is on youtube too! They do it live!
I'll check it out thanks! Mind you as much as I'm a chakaholic, I do love my early Whitney too! Just hope she comes back doing what made us fall in love with her in the first place!
im a realy BIG fan of MISS HOUSTON....since i was 8years now 31....BUT never heard this SONG...PLEASE TELL ME ...on which album is this SONG????****ALWAYS DIVA!!!!****
This song was a bonus track on the Im Your Baby Tonight album. I believe the c.d.s with the bonus track were only released in Japan you probably can find a copy on ebay.
I Wish this was on the U.S. Album Version
