Whitney Houston VS Fantasia Barrino

[GwenHotchkiss]

Whitney, Whitney, Whitney!

[MemphisFinest05]

This is a classic Whitney made no one can touch it no one can beat it or ever will

[whenbored16]

there voices are way to different to compare..whitney is one of the best singers ever but she dosent have the soul that fantasia has

[TexasPuertoRock]

@whenbored16 'whitney is one of the best singers ever but she dosent have the soul that fantasia has'

Whoa, whoa, whoa you are talking crazy! Whitney can blow Fantasia away and shut her down without even trying. Whitney doesn't have the soul? Have you heard her sing "I have Nothing", "I'm every woman", "You give good love", "Its not right but its ok", "I believe in you and me", and "Heartbreak Hotel"? You better get your facts straight. Whitney shits on Fantasia.

[luvjnz]

BOTH!

[TexasPuertoRock]

@luvjnz No way. Whitney wins all day.

[5555lovely]

These are two people u can't compare I love them both

[5555lovely]

These are two people u can't compare I love them both

[KingMellow11]

The Old Whitney would kill Tasia,but now.....Taisa will kill Whitney. I lovethem both though.

[KingMellow11]

The Old Whitney would kill Tasia,but now.....Taisa will kill Whitney.

[PhantomLyric]

@KingMellow11 I wouldn't blame that on the voice itself because if Fantasia was singing during the same Era Whitney was singing in, Fantasia would have been killing Whitney then too... The difference is Whitney Houston was giving it to us like most female artists weren't able to during an era before the internet, before cell phones, before video games so she has a special rank that's untouchable and her presence alone demands that rank. Fantasia isn't better... she's just newer.

[dramasag]

Hmmm, it's like comparing apples and oranges....There's Tasia who sings with so much heart and then there's the VOICE.....love them both!!!

[jaderrw]

No doubt Whitney is the queen and nobody will take her songs away from her. But somehow I could feel the each word from Fantasia as it was supposed to be, it encourages you to love yourself as she does. With Whitney although her versions are always flawless and full of emotion I was more amazed but the power of her voice than the words itself. Still, I love Whitney and Fantasia, they are both amazing.

[lyricalj]

Fantasia!

[Jemone4u]

all i'm going to say is... WHITNEY SET THE STANDARD... and when it comes to WHITNEY.. SHE STILL IS! lol

[sigarantang]

Whitney..

[tonyaceblue]

this is a joke Whitney alway she is the best p.s fantasia is a good singer

[MrCollins11]

well i dnt believe this is fantasia song to sing...but she was blowing on it...whitney sang this song n she wins this round....but in just vocals in everything they both have two different styles and both can blow.... but whitney def!

[scj816]

First of all Whitney is untouchable but Fantasia is coming very close. It seems like Fantasia held herself back when singing Whitney's song, if she had truly let herself go she would have torn the song up! If anyone could challenge Whitney's "The Voice" crown it would be Fantasia and her alone.

[moedave]

Whitney Of Course..

[cle789]

THIS NOT EVEN A BATTLE.. SAY WAT YHU WANT BOUT WHITNEY, BUT NOBODY FUCKIN WITH HER..SHE IS THE BEST SINGER ALIVE.. EVERYONE GOES THOUGH PROBLEM, AN SHE ONLY HUMAN.. AN WHITNEY CNT JUST SING THT BITCH CAN "SANG'

[Pookiie1100]

-Fantasia Good But Whitney Got Iddt Iddts Sum About Her Voice

-Fantasia Still Dah Bomb Thou i Love Her

[ManOfBamboo]

Seriously? Whitney Houston not be the singer she used to be, but Whitney's vocal ability in her prime was untouchable, and far superior to Fantasia's vocals... Fantasia doesn't even touch (prime) Whitney.

[jsteezie420]

I can sing better than Whitney in 2010. She sounds awful now, but in her prime, yea, she rocked. Silll prefer Fantasia.

[LeShawnDanielTV]

2 different singers, 2 different generations, Whitney is a pioneer and legend.....Fantasia is following that legacy and doing great at it

[1952spencer]

Whitney.

[ameliatres]

I Hope FANTASIA could be smartest than Whitney... and don't fall like teh greatest diva ever...

[cle789]

@ameliatres EVERYONE GOES THROUGH PROBLEMS... FANTASIA AINT NO BETTER THAN WHITNEY...

[blackmimi321]

this is just crazy there is no-one, no-one that can compare with Whitney when she was in her prime period. All said and done i love them both....

[Katrina21flyism]

OMG!!! I OVE BOTH,THEY BOTH GREAT SINGERS...,BUT I LOVED WHITNEY SINCE I WAS A LIL GURL. SORRY FANTASIA,WHITNEY IS THE BETTER ONE.. OMG I WISH I DNT HAVE 2 SAY THIS...,BUT ITZ THE TRUTH.. BUT I LOVE BOTH YALL. FANTASIA U GOT A BEATIFUL VOICE..

[kharitaskevin]

this is a no brainer .., ha ha cant compare a sweet soul to a LEGEND.., i love them both !!

[Hieyna]

It's not up for discussion. Whitney Houston has a pure voice.

[kevnerie]

fantasia , I love yah, you're a very good singer, but their right whitney is a legend. You both are very good singer in your own way, love you both

[loreaguirre23]

there is no way we can compare them!! Come on, It's Whitney!!! One of the best singers ever!

[DonnieDog13]

I think Fantasia is good and very unique, but Whitney Houston is a singing legend. Personally I think Whitney wins without a doubt.

[inferno233]

Are we seriously talking about this??? Its obviously Whitney Houston

[HealyDee]

I love fantasia, but she is not in Whitney leage when she was in her prime!

[rtforbes67]

i think this comparison should have been done with 2 versions that were done in the same tempo

[siempre2904]

HAHAHAHA how dare you compare THE VOICE to fantasia!

[yodavidnavarro]

I think Whitney has a very pure voice and Fantasia's is a raspy tasty voice. But Beyonce's voice is not pure, not special. Beyonce is a great performer and entertainer but not a great vocalist!

[ATP6165]

Really, how can ya'll even have the nerve tha nerve to compare Fantasia to Whitney Houston. Then the old whitney at that! The ppl even have tha nerve to compare BEYONCE to Whitney. Ya'll get real! Betonce nor Fantasia is no where near the level of Whitney Houston! Not even tha new Whitney!

[ArchiducDeBelgrade]

Agree...Fantasia and Beyonce r great singers Whitney is Legend..

[Calomante]

Fantasia voice isn't really a well rounded voice thats why she doesn't touch the whole world just black people.

[Calomante]

I think Beyonce and Whitney have unique voices and Mariah and Diana Ross have the best voices everyone elses is Country and southern like Fantasia who are just church singers... Singing is about singing all kinds of genere's thats why Beyonce and Whitney are the most rated and Diana Ross.

[kevynsken]

Whoever took the time to put this video together is a fool.

Fantasia is a mix of Billie Holiday, Tina Turner, Patti LaBelle and Aretha rolled into one. These two women are my favorite singers of all time honestly.

However, the comparison is akin to Josh Grobin vs. Bruce Springteen/Rod Stewart.

They are talented but have different styles.

Like, Whitney many of her live performances are met with standing ovations. Click any of her many tributes on the right of you screen & you will see.

[Merrimarmon]

Whitney and Fantasia both grew up Idolizing Aretha. Maybe Fantasia can't sing Whitney's songs as well as Whit because Fantasia is not a pop singer, but Whitney could never sing a song with the same soul Fantasia delivers either. Anyway, Clive Davis chose this song for Fantasia to sing because he wanted to see if she could pull if off, and she did. He never expected her to sing it better Whitney, that was never the point. Clive wouldn't have signed Fantasia if he did appreciate her voice.

[lover14ize]

fantasia for sure will win that

[Beyoncefan1000]

Fantasias voice is way too common, it's like i kow alot of female and male singers with her voice and they can out sing her easily!!! Whitney is like Beyonce; in a league of her own!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaderrw]

Sorry, you mean Beyonce is like Whitney, right? Not the other way around. And Fantasia's voice is not way to common. Tell me at least one that sings like her now . Obviously she doesn't compare to Whitney or Beyonce in range bus she has her very unique talent which is to always deliver from the heart. It's not the voice but what you do with it.

[techpinas]

Fantasia is an incredibly talented woman. Her talent is greater than most of the singers in her category today. A true talent, no doubt.

But Whitney Houston is simply a force of impassioned transcendance when she opens her mouth to sing. Whitney is without a doubt The Greatest Voice of All and can never be touched, especially with her own song.

The comparison is not even fair. :(

[ministerro]

I love Whitney and Ive grown to love Fantasia because she is anointed, But Whitney is the Number 1 diva of all time she is the only woman ive seen that could sit down and blow a song like a trumpet...Watch, i will always love u

[nikkidabest812]

whitney can't be touch, especially not on her own songs, that being said i am a fantasia fan, and her voice is great. Fantasias rendition was good too

[MrSoulshock4444]

Tasia can sing her ass off, but this is embarrassing really. you're not doing her any good by putting her against whitney on this one. whitney's performance is the epitome of greatness and without a doubt one of the best of her career. tasia is okay though...

[lemons82]

old school Whitney actually makes Tasia look like she's just going through the motions. lol

[SxyGrl44]

I miss Whitney.. *Tear* Come back Whit

[victortperry]

whitney wins hands down, her version is too amazing for anyone to touch it!

[kmaur21]

This so funny! How can anyone compare Tasia to Whitney. Whitney is Tasia singing Momma so is Jennifer Hudson. Whitney sat Tasia down in this one and any singer who tried to step. Whitney is Whitney!

[Jemone4u]

I love your choice of words! lol you are so right.. the girls are talented. but they don't possess what whitney did, and does for this song..

[stvndggs]

LMFAO!!! @ this video.......whitney houston is the reason ALL THESE PEOPLE sing they way they do....her voice literally MOLDED a whole generation.....jennifer hudson, christina aguilera, mariah carey, fantasia barrino, toni braxton....etc...all of these singers and MORE all say whitney houston is there MOTIVATION and who INSPIRED THEM TO SING!!!!!!!!!....so comparing them is useless!!! WHITNEY IS THE QUEEN she is the BEST....in her prime VOCALLY SHE WAS UNMATCHED!! and STILL IS TILL THIS DAY!!!

[Jemone4u]

you are so right! lol

[dm310as]

OMG this is exactly what i have been preaching!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are SPOT ON!!! do you mind if i use your comment as a quote?????

[2realforthem2]

whitney and fantasia are in to much a different times whitney is the best singer

hands down but today fantasia j.hud and

beyonce somtimes are the best

[vixitrixalina]

omg i never knew anyone else ever sung this! i think i should be lyal to Whitney and say i like hers best- this Fantasia person is good too, although a bit sqeeky?!

whos song is it then?

actually Whitney sounds better on my iPod... this one doesnt do her justice! x

[drphd5]

I'm sorry but, Fantasia is a much more soul singer than Whitney. I love Whitney, but she don't sing with the same spirit as Fantasia. Fantasia is a beast in her live shows.

[fountainofblood]

Anyone who says Fantasia did better is delusional!

[Jemone4u]

can't say she did better when if it wasn't for whitney she wouldn't be singing this today

[jowaan]

who ever says fantasia is better than whitney is CRAZY! hahahahahahaha.... fantasia's voice is like 4x speed like chipmunks! hahahahahahahaha...

[victortperry]

whintey hands down. too much power for fantasia

[jowaan]

fantasia? too much power? hahahahahahahaha..... her voice sounds like chipmunks!

[markmacanas]

Fantasia is an amazing singer. A true talent.

But too compare her to the Legendary Whitney Houston is a tad unfair. Whitney Houston wields perhaps the greatest vocal instrument in Rock Music History -- and that is something only the deaf will deny.

[lastnite07]

whitney has a great voice everyone knows that. but whats good about fantasia's performance she made it her own.

[remamamama]

Whitney wins by a mile.

But that wasn't even Whitney's best performance of Greatest Love Of All, IMO.

[rashad03]

Mothanmeetstheeeye...actually at this time Whitney was also 19!

[mjt1206]

The two are the best alive in my hionest opinion. Fantasia is a rising star and Whitney is the star that has risen. fantasia however can do things on stage that whitney can't do and Whitney can do things on stage that fantasia can not do. These two are my all time favorites with Patti and aretha right behind them. also Glady's is a powerhouse, diva, lEGEND......Whitney comes out 1st

[jsoul84]

I love Fantasia and support her every move and she really did sing the hell out of this song...BUT WHITNEY HOUSTON no one compares at all. I love and listen to both versions. Make no mistake this is WHITNEYS' song!

[DANEWYOUNGARTIST]

they both have unique so i really cant say who sings it better but i don care cuz they both sing good as hell

[drphd5]

I'm sorry, but I would have to say FANTASIA. She sings with more emotion.

[JTB4004]

both are amazing performances, fantasia and whitney are my 2 fav singers in the world, whitney is the greatest singer the world has ever seen and fantasia is already a legend aswell i love both alot

[BountifulY]

to me two terrfic sistahs. Fantasia is my fave singer but Whitney is the voice.

[yodavidnavarro]

Two very different and beautiful versions!

[foreverwhitney101]

i have 2 give it fantasia she did good[better than expected] BUT its FREAKIN WHITNEY HOUSTON here! c'mon now!

=]

[zidani22]

love fantasia

[MoThanMeetsTheeEye]

It's not fair.

Fantasia was 19 here? Her voice was underdeveloped and this was in the midst of a competition that would change the tide of her entire career.

Whitney was a grown women performing her song, without the other circumstances.

[adavis8605]

I love Fantasia, but come on Whitney's the voice and she's all kinds of awesome!!!!

[bigjoy]

i love both, but my ONLY complaint is I hate when people deviate too much from the melody of a song, esp a song as popular as this and Whitney is good for that.

[NotFearful]

both are brilliant. I love Fantasia more than anything in this world. She has more than a voice. her voice reaches the heart unlike any singer that has grace this earth but talking about natural flawless vocals the edge goes to Whitney.

[babygyrl07]

don't get me wrong i love me some tasia but no one can touch the VOICE i don't care what anyone says and thats just my personal take on that

[soulshock4444]

fantasia can sing this shit pretty well, but the woman called The Voice SANG the hell out of the song!

[dfjkslsdfjkl]

I agree that it's not fair. I know Fantasia can tear up a song like no other but Whitney just went off while Tasia was being gentle with it.

[MrStyle23]

This is not fair. I mean Whitney is a true singer.

Fantasia can sing well but it is her performance that puts her above a lot of the newer generation.

Whitney will forever be The Voice. I've heard Aretha Franklin The Queen of Soul sing this song but Whitney still owns it.

[dominican305kka2]

i love fantasia so much! BUT whitney can sing!fantasia sings with energy and her azz out tho!

[dominick513]

i love fantasia but shes no whitney houston now fantaisa can tear some damn gospel up tho
