She looked absolutely stunning in that red. Her voice was magic. I know she made Whitney proud. Now they are singing together in the Soul Heaven choir. Rest in Paradise Natalie (Feb 6, 1950 - Dec 31, 2015)
AFRICANBRO omg 😮 I didn’t kno this was the Oscar’s. Shoot now I’m mad bcuz there was a chance Whitney could’ve sang run to you and had a iconic performance. But I understand she was preggers. Ugh still it hurts 😰
This was another one of Natalie Cole's best musical moments and she really did Whitney Houston proud with this incredible performance of "Run To You" and "I Have Nothing" as performed here with David Foster. Natalie will truly be remembered as a real classy diva. Rest in peace Natalie, you will be missed.
@@christianWilliams-pc4jn A young Patti LaBelle would sing the pants off all of them. And yes I agree no one can sing Whitney's songs like Whitney but LaBelle has the ultimate voice.
Of course not, because she couldn't sing it like Whitney nobody can. I love Natalie but just like the other Legends nobody compares to Whitney Houston.
Had I never heard the original by Whitney Houston; I could easily hear Natalie Cole having this as a hit. The song is already well written and Natalie really held back on this performance. Job well done and classy.
Say's Grooves right. The arrangement of the songs on the bodyguard sound vintage. It sounds like it could’ve been rocked in the 50’s 60’s or 70’s. Personally those vibes on the soundtrack make it magical
Natalie was BEAUTIFUL and CLASSY!!! BEAUTIFUL voice who could sing and did not have to take off her clothes getting naked and prancing around the stage to compensate for the FACT you can't sing!!! This girl was a true singer/performer, with CLASS, DIGNITY and BEAUTY!!! THANK YOU!!!
Never listened to it before, I don't like it, and comparisons would be out of place, but I found it very well arranged, due to Natalie's tone, her face and look took me back in time, when the Motown stable had great thoroughbreds, I thought I saw a Diana Ross, maybe Natalie's style has always reflected that golden period. Nice, and thanks to whoever put it in the channel.
Natalie Cole is a great singer! She did Whitney Houston proud in singing these two songs so beautifully! Sadly with Whitney Houston gone it is great that there is another singer who can carry on her legacy! Natalie is at the top of the list! Great singing here!
Roger Joseph VERY Under rated! The girl HAD an APPEAL ALL her own and an Unmatched only exceeded by her 'class'! THANKS for pointing that out my friend!!
I have a "Run-To-You" which makes this meaningful on so many levels. RIP Natalie Cole. 1/1/16 The level of elegance you served from stage is not often seen today.. Your gift will live on in the hearts of those you so effortlessly touched. Thanks you!!
Love Natalie. I met her in Philly when I worked in promotions many years ago. She was very gracious and kind.. Miss her so much! Thank God for these beautiful videos
Incredibly beautiful and breathtakingly fearless. I'd never seen this until now 9/2018. Natalie Cole is beyond beautiful and gorgeous. She's the most gentle classy diva I've ever seen. Her.voice and her music makes my heart fill with joy. She was indeed that "sophisticated lady." None can follow her. Rest easy ms Natalie Cole and your son also.
You realize what a difficult song I have nothing is until u hear other artists sing it whitney really is a beast nothing taken away from Natalie Cole, she sang it very well and in her own way RIP to both divas ❤️👑
I so love and respect Natalie Queen Cole. People wanted her to come her and take a world stage and upstage her friend. All she was thinking is MY FRIEND HAS NOT GOTTEN TO SING THESE SONGS YET...AND I WILL NEVER SING THEM AGAIN. She did it for her "babys sister," who PERSONALLY ASKED HER TO STEP IN. I would have been nervous too. And she was exceptional. BRAVA.
Natalie's account of this in her book was really funny. She said she wanted to run off stage when she flubbed a lyric (which I didn't even notice and most other folks probably didn't either) but the dress was too tight. lmao. She was so real and down to earth.
MelodyMaker151 As a singer I noticed immediately how she dropped her head after the first line of the song, realizing she sang the 2nd line first & she's desperately searching for the lyrics. She looked terrified! Then she just decided to go ahead and sing the line twice and went for it, lol. Always loved her voice. She's "Unforgettable "❣️
Real Whitney fans know when the flub was, but she was a consummate performer and nailed it. This is a funny note that I didn’t know, thanks for sharing
That is the most dramatic gown I have ever seen ! She looks like a cross between a rose and a fire engine . Long live Natalie , gone but never forgotten
sing sing sing , I have been a fan since the 70's LOL I'm in her age group such a classic , classy , brilliant performer , I played my Natalie Cole albums back to back and was singing with her , She like Whitney cant be duplicated EVER,
Rest in peace Natalie, I am sad to know you're gone because my dream to watch you live in person is over.. yet heaven must be happy to gain another singing angel.
I never really knew how close Natalie and Whitney were until I started seeing some of these clips with the two of them together performing. Both ladies at the top of their game now sing for the choir in heaven together. RIP to these two queens.
RIP Stephanie Natalie Maria Cole. You never looked more beautiful and Elegant. Say hi to the wonderful Whitney Elizabeth Houston. I hope you are both Resting in Paradise.
I Love Her Rest Up Queen Your Voice was a brilliant Gift ... Love It You are truly missed not one of the singer today will attempt to sign a Whitney ballad
What a BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED,SOULFUL WOMAN,Natalie is a heartbreaker, takes your breath away.Darling you left us too soon.Sing with your Papa and the Angels in Heaven!Lovely ! Forever loved and missed!
I love that Whitney chose Natalie to take her place at the Oscars cause she was pregnant at the time. Natalie did forget the 1st line do I Have Nothing but she was such a pro, she picked it up again.
Two great divas gone to heaven singing for the angels! Singers today need backup dancers, naked customes, and auto-tune. Miss those great singers who simply sang!
I miss Natalie so much. It took many years to come out of the shadow of her father. She also overcame some many demons, but look at her! Love to u my dear diva! 💋🎶🎤
Natalie Cole pays tribute to Whitney Houston.......and now the world is paying tribute to the Unforgettable Natalie Cole.
RIP Whitney and Natalie
She looked absolutely stunning in that red. Her voice was magic. I know she made Whitney proud. Now they are singing together in the Soul Heaven choir. Rest in Paradise Natalie (Feb 6, 1950 - Dec 31, 2015)
Looking like a Drug Addict
She looked gorgeous and sounded amazing.
Natalie doesn’t need to imitate anyone. She’s the supreme example of musicianship. Miss her so 😢
Natalie was a beast in the 70s
oh wow I had no idea Natalie performed Whitney's songs.she did an excellent job
+anthony herboomanc yea this was when Whitney was pregnant with Krissy and she couldnt attend the Oscars.
+anthony herboomanc They were super tight friends
AFRICANBRO omg 😮 I didn’t kno this was the Oscar’s. Shoot now I’m mad bcuz there was a chance Whitney could’ve sang run to you and had a iconic performance. But I understand she was preggers. Ugh still it hurts 😰
They were great friends, Whitney probably asked her to step in
Brave of her to sing a Whitney song. I love Natalie and she's a legend but even her doing a Whitney song makes it sound like a karaoke version.
Beautifully done Ms. Natalie!
What a CLASS ACT! Legends like her are missing in todays generation. true talent
USELESS IN MY OPINION....
Auto-tune generation
Natalie sang it beautifully !!!! She made it her own. She definitely got her singing genes from her dad. She is immensely talented and a legend.
This was another one of Natalie Cole's best musical moments and she really did Whitney Houston proud with this incredible performance of "Run To You" and "I Have Nothing" as performed here with David Foster. Natalie will truly be remembered as a real classy diva. Rest in peace Natalie, you will be missed.
+Jennifer Felan Yes I remember when this aired. (yes I'm old lol) and my first words after she finished were "She did good."
I agree. This was a very classy performance and she did Whitney Houston proud.
Beautiful tribute. She didn't try to follow Whitney, but simply did it her own way.
Whitney always said. "Dont sing my songs like me. Sing them like you."
That's because nobody could sing her songs like her no one can match Whitney vocally, including Natalie and all the other Legends.
@@christianWilliams-pc4jn A young Patti LaBelle would sing the pants off all of them. And yes I agree no one can sing Whitney's songs like Whitney but LaBelle has the ultimate voice.
I miss her and Whitney too. Good times!!
She sung it just like herself and didn't try to sound like Whitney, at least to me and she sounded very good. RIP Natalie Cole.🌺🌺❤️❤️
Well said. Yes
Of course not, because she couldn't sing it like Whitney nobody can. I love Natalie but just like the other Legends nobody compares to Whitney Houston.
yessssss
agree, besides they're legends
@christianWilliams-pc4jn Oh, get over yourself.
its crazy that the early 90s still looked liked the 70s . RIP Natalie Cole
One elegant, classy lady paying tribute to another one. RIP Ms. Whitney Houston & Ms. Natalie Cole...
Had I never heard the original by Whitney Houston; I could easily hear Natalie Cole having this as a hit. The song is already well written and Natalie really held back on this performance. Job well done and classy.

Natalie Cole is one of my favorite female singers. She would have made Run To You as a hit herself.
Natalie Cole's eyes are just beautiful indeed id have loved to met her at a concert ❤🎉 i adore her music
Her dad would be so proud. What a talent, left us too soon.
ABSOLUTELY Wonderful!! I've always Loved Natalie and her music!! ALWAYS CLASSY on stage!!! R.I.p!!!!! BEAUTIFUL LADY!!
Yes! Yes!
+Modelt5000 yes I agree she is a special singer
shes ugly
Natalie was BEAUTIFUL and CLASSY!!! BEAUTIFUL voice who could sing and did not have to take off her clothes getting naked and prancing around the stage to compensate for the FACT you can't sing!!! This girl was a true singer/performer, with CLASS, DIGNITY and BEAUTY!!! THANK YOU!!!
Modelt5000 I agree. I have also said the same of Whitney.
I'd forgotten what a great singer she was.
Her voice was one of the sweetest and more beautiful ones ever heard, so lovely performance!!! ❤❤❤
Never listened to it before, I don't like it, and comparisons would be out of place, but I found it very well arranged, due to Natalie's tone, her face and look took me back in time, when the Motown stable had great thoroughbreds, I thought I saw a Diana Ross, maybe Natalie's style has always reflected that golden period.

Love Natalie Cole. Incredible voice, range, timbre, perhaps a little under-rated.
Roger Joseph I have seen her in concert 2 times and have met her also. She is a great singer but very rude to her fans.
Roger Joseph VERY Under rated! The girl HAD an APPEAL ALL her own and an Unmatched only exceeded by her 'class'! THANKS for pointing that out my friend!!
this spectacular presentation at the Oscar reveled all her status of diva
SO BEAUTIFUL.......WHITNEY IS IN TEARS WITH JOY HEARING THIS!!!!
Wow that was great from Natalie. Natural singing coming from a icon. Her own Style
My favorite singer she kills anything she does she does the softer ballads it compliments her voice so much
I have a "Run-To-You" which makes this meaningful on so many levels. RIP Natalie Cole. 1/1/16 The level of elegance you served from stage is not often seen today.. Your gift will live on in the hearts of those you so effortlessly touched. Thanks you!!
Beautiful rendition.
A GREAT PERFORMANCE IN ACADEMY AWARDS HISTORY. REST IN PEACE, BEAUTIFUL NATALIE.
Natalie will miss your voice. Hope you and Whitney are jamming in heaven.
Love Natalie. I met her in Philly when I worked in promotions many years ago. She was very gracious and kind.. Miss her so much! Thank God for these beautiful videos

So beautiful. I fell in love with her music with "Inseparable."
Voice so crisp and clear.
Natalie's account of this in her book was really funny. She said she wanted to run off stage when she flubbed a lyric (which I didn't even notice and most other folks probably didn't either) but the dress was too tight. lmao. She was so real and down to earth.

I did... But I recognize EVERYTHING when it comes to Whitney.
@@roycey32 same here lol
Real Whitney fans know when the flub was, but she was a consummate performer and nailed it. This is a funny note that I didn’t know, thanks for sharing
BEAUTIFUL IN ALL WAYS--RIP DEAR NATALIE AND WHITNEY
Natalie said in her book that Whitney herself asked her to do this performance. Because Whitney couldn't do it because she just has Bobbi Kristina.
Mel'vin Jae she was pregnant with Bobbi Kristina
Angela Santiago No, she HAD Bobbi Kris, about 3 weeks before the Oscars.
She got the lyrics wrong but went on the show
That is the most dramatic gown I have ever seen ! She looks like a cross between a rose and a fire engine . Long live Natalie , gone but never forgotten
Beautifully sung by Natalie Cole!
Natalie Cole was surely one elegant woman. She wore impeccable gowns.
Natalie you look just like your dad. You sing as good. You my love are amazing. I hope u are in heaven singing. ❤
i love Natalie so much! such a beautiful rich voice and such a classy elegant lady. no one coulda done it better except Whitney herself!
It's good to see Natalie looking and sounding soo good!!!!
sing sing sing , I have been a fan since the 70's LOL I'm in her age group such a classic , classy , brilliant performer , I played my Natalie Cole albums back to back and was singing with her , She like Whitney cant be duplicated EVER,
