Oh yeah the voice is coming back. You can actually hear it compared to when she kicked off the tour! She's hitting higher notes with more clarity than before. I wish she could take time to rest her voice some more though. But she's definately recovering.
don't think she's singing for the love of it anymore. she seems like she's only trying to "come back". there's no coming back though. there's just What IS. if she will begin to love singing again i think she'll just BE there.
I disagree. She doesn't NEED to comeback for money or anything. She's doing it cause she loves to sing. I'm a singer, even at my worse (vocally) I still wanna be singing. Whitney is the best and loves what she does.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fair enough. But doesn't it seem like she's kinda imitating her old self? Whitney is TRYING to be Whitney. Like she's copycatting herself. Don't you get that same impression? Instead of just BEING whatever she IS right NOW...she's trying to BE something that she was Yesterday. I think the only way she'll truly come back is when she accepts that she's changed.
Hey I'm afraid we might not be that lucky. In reality Whitney has completed her contract with the 2009 album "I Look To You", this was her 6 th album release after 2000. The others being;
2001 - Love Whitney
2002 - Just Whitney
2003 - Whitney Houston: number 1's
2003 - The Holiday Album
2007 - The Ultimate Collection
So unless Whitney signs another contract then she doesn't have to make any more music
@MonkeyTail254 I have read that it was a contract for ten years for the making of six records including new releases and compilations. It started in 2000 with The Greatest Hits ( double CD), Just Whitney, The Holiday Album, The Ultimate Collection and then I look to You.
They should not have kept Step By Step in the original key. She was struggling up there. She managed it somehow but it wasn't her best. I think she hit an F5 at 7:33. She would have done better if that song was done in a lower key than she would not have strained her vocals.
Wow, that "Yeah yeah yeah YEah!" @ 7:00 Sounded pretty damn good, like 90's good, sounded like she surprised herself when she pulled the mic away and brought back.
I have a lot of high hopes...as do all the whitney fans. But we have to face facts. Her voice has declined naturally from age, from drugs, from smoking, from stress, and one of the biggest contributors....from nodules on her vocal chords that developed after the end of the bodyguard tour. The woman is only human and even though that voice was out of this world great, we will never again hear the whitney we once heard. It saddens me.
yeah it was sad when her voice started going downhill after the bodyguard. because of nodules. she over-sung and didnt let her voice rest enough really. but 1 thing we do know is whitney will never loose that power and clear tone.. she'll be back! stay possitive!
She was classified as a Spinto Soprano/Mezzo-Soprano from 1985 until the Bodyguard era. In 1994, she was clearly a Dramatic Mezzo-Soprano up until 2004. In 2005 and 2006, she lost her high notes and was classified ans a Dramatic Contralto. In her new song, she went up to a D5 and that her voice was in better shape than Family First.
is a D5 high? what new song does she sound good in?? whitney still got it, it dont matter bout high notes that woman is gifted and no one will ever take it away, not even drugs.. she can hit some VERY low notes too!
coz people kinda guess i suppose, its like hearing a piano note, except its a bit harder with vocals lol. u get a rough kind of idea. i dont know much about it really but "highnote32" seems to. lol
Its standard notation. A C6 is known as a sopranos top C, in the same way a C5 is a tenors top C. A C4 is known more widely as middle C. Going up the scale ignoring sharps and flats goes like this. C5 D5 E5 F5 G5 A5 B5 C6. So a D5, is a D in the 5th octave according to standard notation.
You're telling the truth. Really the nodules she developed in 1994, have changed her voice forever. Her smoking cigarettes has deepened her voice almost near alto range. It may improve but that voice will never be heard again in that form
LOL @ 6:37-6:44... Looked like she caught the Holy Ghost, caught a step & startin goin in off step by step LOLOLOLOL Whitney u are CRAZY!!!!! Love ya -B
I am gonna cray .. she is te best .. I hope she'll comeback with GREATNESS, so some people who say bad things about her on youtube can shut their mouth up forver.
Whitney tore up ILFTB it is hard to her though cause of the video and people in the background. I have this concert on CD and sounds mad better! She sounded mad good on this!
I was unaware of the existance of these videos regarding her 2004 Chinese concerts. I gotta say they made me recover my hope on Whitney and that the voice might still be there but just somehow 'blocked'.
I hope her leaked song 'Family First' is from the 2002-2003 era cause her voice is SHIT over there, but on these concerts she sounds so but so much better than she has on a long time.
No, Family First was recorded recently. But she had only been clean a couple months. It'll take time, but with every day I have no doubt, she is getting closer.
Hopefully. I still have my hopes that the voice is still there, however that song made me say 'WTF the voice can be gone 4evar' cause she seriously sound like a piece of shit over that track
Now her voice is not as god as before she is really more serious in how her delivers it and I have to say it sounds better than her other performaces.
wow, STEP BY STEP was off the chain. whit's voice sounds much stronger, more gospel like, mature. good for 2004, she on her way back. good stuff there!
Let's get one thing straight (lmao) I think she sounds better than the people they are givin' record deals to these days. The Fire is still there though....Amazing. I love you Nippy!!
most of this sounds much better then in 2002 on just whitney and 2003 at diva's singin on my own (the 1 where she sounds like she been eatin glass) LOL a bit too much echo tho, i have hope for her, she just wont be able to reach some notes like she use 2 b able to, still tops most singers.
the pot belly started during this period. evident here. lol.
