    Whitney COULD SING ANYTHING! Opera, pop, rock, gospel, broadway even hip hop!! I guess that's why she's called 'The Voice'

    Whitney was giving ZERO effort and SLAYED!!! No singer need ever be compared to her because none of them can do zero effort and sound half this good.

      Michael Battista unnecessary and irrelevant. On the other hand, Whitney was at the level of singing where even without effort, she was better than 90% of vocalists in her generation, and in any generation that came after her.

    • @skip031890
      @skip031890 7 років тому +12

      MrSoulshock44 She still had it in 1996. It was the *very* start of her decline. You could hear it in her Brunei concert in 1996. I have no clue why people say she was declining prior to 96. By 2000, her voice had taken a huge toll from what it used to be, but she could still sing. The only problem was she didn't have the stamina as before or hardly the same breath support. Though, she was still perfect in pitch and execution. Sadly, I think 2003 was the last year she had *good* voice. The subsequent years are a steady decline up until her untimely death 😞

      Rlly she always had her voice. It’s jus that she couldn’t rlly sing her own songs anymore because they were so hard and required some range. She could sing everything else tho this is an example

    • @kylesummers7478
      @kylesummers7478 6 років тому +6

      Definitely. Her 1998 Tour was still magnificent. People just expected the same range. She was always able to sing, the difference was breath support (as someone noted) and her upper range. I believe that came from a lack of practice in the later years, as well as smoking.

    Her concerts in 1997 was amazing as well. Japan 1997 sounded like the Bodygaurd era. It's on UA-cam. Whitney never lost the ability to sing she lost some of her range but she could still out sing everyone if she wanted to.

    I have never seen the rehearsal version. Please, please do not take it off UA-cam. One of the things I loved about her was how magnificent she sounds without using a microphone. They were so blessed to have experienced her in a rehearsal setting. God I'll always miss this woman and her voice. Not many can even attempt to sing without electronic assistance. I know back in her youth church days they use to tear it down! RIP Nippy!

    no she didn't loose her voice completely till after 2005, u can look up when she did an appearance at VMA 2000 with britney and christina and she just accapella i will always love you like it's nothing. Her best prime was from 1984-1996, but her whole voice lasted from 1984-2005 that's 21 years of raw vocal live singing.

      Hanne Clausen I’ve said It for years and I’ll say It again. Whitney could sing until mid 2000’s. She wasn’t 1990 Whitney. But she could still sing, and out sing almost everybody way after the bodyguard.

      If you think about the amount of shows she did in her career, especially per year from her prime years… you have to consider how her vocal chords are basically made of steel. She never really lip synced either.
      And she has substance abuse during those years.
      She simply was superhuman
