I TOTALLY agree! Whitney had soooooo many weapons in her vocal arsenal. Headvoice, vocal dynamics and agility, clarity, vibrato, range, diction, emotive ability, power and resonance. BUT even if she didn't possess all of these, her platinum TONE was ENOUGH. Powerful, free, rich and beautiful. Combine all these and you get the best female singer to grace a microphone. In my humble opinion.
It shook me that people still debating on who’s that greatest mainstream vocalist of all time when Whitney’s performances are free and available. Her voice is SO connected in EVERY register that’s insane!
There is just no one that can make me feel the way Whitney does when she sings , performances I have watched easily over 500 times still give me goosebumps
C’mon man you know back then that people had to have tape recorders in their pockets/purses to record back then. There were no cell phones back then. So we had to smuggle recording devices into concerts to have these memories preserved forever.
High school 1986...Whitney was the jam! She was it!! I love her songs just as much as I did back than. Loving how much you & your channel appreciate & 💜 her too!! Btw...Good catch...You're exactly right her youthful tone (golden tone) & diction was so pretty in the 80s.
I’m always stunned. She doesn’t get the credit for her vocal arrangements like she deserves. Her vocal arrangements were a part of her genius. She did it throughout her career as her voice changed and she killed it.
@@arlington4508 all the other singers they compare to her pale.. They talk about musicality, I laugh. She had the most musician ion the spot1 no one close..It is like a cheetah vs a cat...when compared to the others. I watched an interview about one of her band members and he said, the first time he played behind her was when she did a showcase in 1983 and he could not believe how flexible she was already at that age... the band had to be in sync and she gave them her cues. They practiced the structure of the song in rehearsals but live in front of an audience you will be mediocre as a band member if you do not know she is going to do crazy improvisations on the spot which were often superior.
Just when you think you've heard Nippy kill anything she sang then she goes & does this...well, damn. Loved this..thanks for sharing Adam. Great reaction.
Right Pedro. Other fan bases always claim that other than her power and head voice Whitney wasn’t that great but they obviously don’t have a clue about Whitney’s agility. Earlier in her career Whitney’s melisma was so quick and lightening fast that it snuck up on you like a freaking ninja. The woman could do anything she wanted with her voice EFFORTLESSLY.
her agility was the best not in collapsed register...that full run in chest voice had over 11 notes...people call it F#5-G#5 the notes in between are crazy
The *Vocal Trinity* are the *Charmed Ones* of the music industry; Whitney is like Prue, Mariah is like Piper and Celine is like Phoebe. Between Lara & Lisa Fischer, one is Paige and the other is Billie.
7:43 the moment Whitney Kees evenness of sound while so swiftly she does that! Going up to G/G#5 Her agility is not inferior to all these little birds …
I can't believe this is my first time hearing this version. The '86 London concert I've been listening to all these years didn't include this performance for some reason. Maybe it's from the same year, but different date? Anywho, I absolutely love her performance of this in Cali the same year.

I love all different types of singers… but to me… Whitney Houston was everything that is great about singing. She was just a cut above all the rest.
C’mon man you know back then that people had to have tape recorders in their pockets/purses to record back then. There were no cell phones back then. So we had to smuggle recording devices into concerts to have these memories preserved forever.
