    I’m crying 😭. I don’t think even Whitney understood the magnitude of her voice. She knew she had a gift but she wasn’t truly aware of how her voice made people feel. She is the only singer in this world that can make me cry. Hearing her sing this song made me feel like I was in heaven sitting at the feet of God. Her gift was inexplainable, unfathomable, inconceivable. God is real, it’s evident by the voice of Whitney Houston.

      trust me she knew. she described opening her eyes one time in the church after her rendition of a gospel hymn and stunned to see people crying, others on their knees , others bursting out in tongues. that thing that hits the whole congregation and you realize whatever it is ,is way beyond you everyone has it and its supernatural. Robyn describes it in her book too.

      @Isaiah King I think the other thing to be fair is that her voice was unlike others. In the sense she had a fully rounded voice n timber even as she ascended her timbre remained. When j first listened to her I sometimes would fail to know she had hit a high F etc because it sounded so much like her mid voice. Homogeneous is think is the correct terminology. PLUS unless in the mood she never sang high for the sake of it only for the music or her mood.

    People in the comments shocked at those super high head notes at the end (me included lol), but let's all remember her mother (aka vocal coach) is the legendary Cissy Houston. How many times do you think Whitney heard those stratospheric high notes her mom famously sang on "Ain't No Way" while she was growing up and tried to emulate them perfectly. Whitney wanted her own sound a part from her mom but I'm certain that high head notes were comfortably in her arsenal of vocal tricks she could use if she chose to do so. She just rarely used them. Her mom recorded this song originally so those notes are literally a nod to momma Houston.

    Although this is absolutely stunningly gorgeous singing, I believe the recording has been sped up resulting in the notes sounding higher than they were originally sung in person. This key is a half step higher than she sang it in '88, and it doesn't make much sense that Whitney would be raising the keys on her songs as her voice began to settle ever so slightly lower during the IYBT era. Still the best singer of all time doing her GOOD singing tho 🤩

      She also had concerts in Japan in 1991, where she had the yellow dress on and sang "in return" - there she had a cold. No way she had a cold here. This says the 2nd night though - don't know if she had a cold on the other nights in 1990.

      @@Ornacia29 do you have footage from the night before then it will pretty easy to determine otherwise I don't think she had a cold in 1990 but she did in 1991

      yes it is the concert in 1990, I am not sure of the date though. You are right, she was congested on January 7. She had 5 sold out dates there in Yokohama. January 1, 2 ( this could be the second night of the first run)
      she then went to Saporro for January 5 and returned for Yokohoma on January 7 for the one she was congested , then sang again on January 8 in Yokohama.. There are concerts from Sendai, Nagoya and Osaka on UA-cam from the followup nights...
      Returned there to round off the 14 date tour in 9 cities! Only Whitney!

      This was the second night. She had 14 shows. Didn't start getting congested until the 7th if I'm not mistaken.

      Andrés E that’s what I’m thinking. I don’t have a perfect ear, but it sounds like it’s at least in the 6th octave.

      Pimp The Human ok. Yeah it could be pitched, I’m still listening to try to figure it out. It kinda sounds like it, but at the same time it kind of sounds like her Tokyo concert from the same year. Her voice kind of sounded higher than usually there
