That “even me lord” part gets me every time. People dogged Whitney and made fun of her addiction, people didn’t know what that woman was going through but Mary did which is why this performance was so strong.
That part and the fact , Whitney invited Mary to sing with her on 99 Divas … and Mary returned the favor this year when Whitney was going through her stuff with the media etc. that’s real genuine love and sister hood 🥺🥺 Whitney & Mary were definitely getting their praise on they needed that moment 🙏🏾💜
Something about the fact that you can see Whitney's black silhouette in the background of the stage while she sings "I feel like an angel" just touches and breaks my heart at the same time because she's longer here anymore. She is an angel, and metaphorically it makes me feel like she'll always be singing in the background of our hearts.
Martin x make want to share ah tear I caught ah chill when seen this performance by my girl when she came out that stage R.I.H.....2....to my favorite singer of time Whitney Houston we will alwayz luv u....
The same spirit of God in Whitney, is the same powerful spirit in an angel, but Whitney is not an angel..I love that part too, makes me think of that's how she entered heaven! You heard that voice enter the gate! Lol🤗👌🏾🎶🙌🏾⭐
Rumor has it: Ja was supposed to come out with Mary. Although it was VH1 Divas, Ja was HUGE at this time. But he had two obligations. Which is why Mary had to rap/sing his part because they had rehearsed. Nippy being the person she is heard about it and told Mary she would cover 2hrs before the performance. They never rehearsed together which is why the energy is so organic. People like to weaponize them for their past and say they were high. That moment was organic impromptu artistry.
I first heard this song the day the doctor told me I miscarried my baby, that was my rainy day. The sunshine came when I found out the doctor was wrong, he is now 18 years old. And what a phenomenal duet! It doesn't get much better than Whitney and Mary, two of my favorites. Much love to Whitney, in heaven.
@@kw9568 I woke up bleeding and my doctor ran a test and said if the numbers(?) dropped, it meant I miscarried. Well, she called me at work and told me the bad news. 2 weeks had passed before she would see me. I thought I had a dead child inside me for 2 weeks! She did an internal ultrasound and my boy's heart was pulsing and his little arms were moving. She said she didn't understand, the test was accurate. I didn't know if my husband was going to hug her or strangle her. Definitely some mixed emotions. I later read that the hormone she tested is supposed to reduce around that time of any pregnancy (I was 11 weeks). So.....her license should be yanked! My husband wanted to sue but I was afraid the stress would have been too much, I wasn't losing my boy again. He is now 20 and has autism and is the absolute light of my life! This song was dedicated to me the day I was told about the miscarriage, I still tear up when I hear it. Bittersweet. God blessed me with this beautiful child and I will always cherish him. Love and prayers to you, be blessed.🙏
"Even me lord, even me lord, even me, even me" That only line made the whole show watch worth it. Only Whitney can do a phrase and turn it into gold, and it was improvised, only Whitney
aaaw, Whitney was so adorable in this performance...I love when she was singing "even me lord, even me lord"....she felt that wholeheartedly! Love this woman!
Am I the only one that watched her entrance, descent down the stairs and the little run she did over and over again? Whitney Houston is the definition of diva.
Whitney knew how to make an entrance! And her breaking into gospel song at 4:42 (Even Me) is classic Whitney! Love that Mary looked up to her & wasn't too proud to show it.
When Whitney sang the first I FEEL LIKE AN ANGEL bit I was already like "uh oh, Game Over" Homegirl Just didn't play. When she bopped DOWN those stars you could see that was THE MAIN diva in the house. She exuded POWER
I miss Whitney. The confidence not arrogance but playfulness with the crowd when she heard them screaming for her. They asked For it and she gave it every single time! The bop down the stairs 😂😍❤️
omg looking back this was a crying out for help, Mary thought Whitney wasn't going to show up and once she saw Whitney on stage he went nuts, breaks my heart even at her worst Whitney was amazinng
Thanks to the editor for this gem!! You did a great job. Oh my God! This performance is amazing... Remember "After rainy days the sun always comes out" At 3.10 minute the Queen comes on stage and the temperature rises. Listening to this song and looking at Whitney I could even go to hell and I’d be happy anyway. Mary is so good and Whitney is Whitney, she's classy and so seductive at the same time. Never let go that tissue, baby 🔥🔥Super Iconic. You can't just listen to Whitney, but you have to look at her when she sings, it's another thing! No one can excite like you, my darling. I don’t believe in God, but if there is, the eighth day he created Whitney. I love this woman. Simply The Voice ❤
This performance is so perfect for showing how incredibly massive and powerful Whitney's voice was. Whitney was far from her best here but if you compare Whitney to Mary when they sing, you can hear Whitney's power. Not meant as a bad thing towards Mary of course, she is a wonderful singer, her voice is beautiful.
Dutchmusicfan1992 I think they were both amazing and I think Mary got even better when Whitney arrived, true chemistry that took place. I have to say Mary gave me goosebumps once she and Whitney went toe to toe.
Dutchmusicfan1992 I just bought the divas live 2002 on iTunes and I’m pissed because they left out a lot of footage. Mary’s performances and a lot more. I looked it up right after because I knew Mary J Blige was part of the concert and so was Cindi Lauper singing with Cher. It’s crazy. Do you have the whole version (the TVrip)? How’s you get this one?
Dutchmusicfan1992 I agree and noticed this too. Whitney’s not at her best here as you said but you can hear her power even in this vocal state in 2002. Damn what a voice!!! Can you imagine if she maintained at least her early 90s voice till now? Just wow.
@@MrMharris1990 If you close your eyes, you might think that she is using her entire energy, yet if you see her face, she doesn't even look like she's straining at all. She's comfortable.
That run was everything!! Everyone everyone knew the Queen was in the house. And yet she was so humble with it. A true legend - Angel from god we still down here loving you girl !!!
Shine on me lord....after she got off those stairs....just chills me , I see why mary was shouting , I grew up in the church too...her voice was definitely touched by the father, no doubt.....all I could do was say woo , and wave my hands...i felt it too , mary ( whitney Houston omg ...that's all you have to say ) and of course our girl MJB...❤take us too church
Whoooo child I still love my whitney I never cared what ppl said about her she's always been my favorite and still is my favorite yes I'm still obsessed with her ain't no body can do it like her ❤❤❤❤
This throwback got me through this past decade. Especially on my rough days. Remember how special we are as a people....don't dim it for nobody. If your day got the best of you...keep fighting for that star player that you see in the mirror. Love y'all. 🙏🏾🖤
They had a genuine friendship… in 99 when Mary career needed help it was Whitney to bring Mary on divas live… years later when Mary career was up and Whitney’s career was declining, Mary returned the favor… love ❤️.. deep
@@terrellwilliams2240 Mary j blige said it out her own mouth. This is not something I said, I was repeating what she said about Whitney.. Whitney was the reason Mary’s career took off into the pop section.. YT people started listening to Mary after this performance, they thought Mary was too hood before this night
@@MonkeyBusiness1116 Where did Mary say this. This is nothing that Mary ever said. By this time Mary already had 3 multiple plat global albums. She had already worked with some of the biggest celebrities including Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Rob Stewart etc. so how
@@terrellwilliams2240 dude I know Mary stats just like you. Read what I said … Mary always had the support of BLACK radio, and she always had her singles chart on R and B from her very first single (multiple times a year) . However she never had the support from the WHITE audience until she got on stage with Whitney. And it branched her off to duets with sting, bono, Elton and got her FIRST pop single for “family affair”. I’m not going through which interview she said it in, but let google be your friend
today i binged on MJ Blige, since i am watching her on the Power Book II, i mean i just put her up there with mariah whitney and celine for my all time music heorines. of course Aretha is just a goddess.
When Whitney belts out that shine on me, I felt that! This entire performance is timeless. Two women who had tremendous battles throughout their lives and careers. RIP Whitney.

The way the audience screamed when whitney came out like the true queen she is 😍🥺💜
Mary was also struggling with addiction to
“Even me lord” brought tears to my eyes!
That’s called the Holy Ghost.
Mary losing her natural mind when Whit hits the stage is priceless. This video never gets old.
milas even in 2019😂😂😂😭
Never gets old even though she probably knew she was coming 🤣🤣🤣👌🏾 Whitney Brings the Ghost!
Man I loved that moment! Like if Twitter brought you here lol
Still watching in 2021!

I love Whit’s dress - these lace dresses have becoming so popular these days but this one she has on is so classy! ❤
She even ran like a diva lol, those legs, that voice, the gowns..WHITNEY WAS THE STAR OF STARS!

That walk down those stairs by nippy was too legendary.. She arrived.. The main Diva!! #TheVoice
Yes indeed
Yass!! That strut down those stairs was everything.
Stylist Raven THE LEGEND
Strutting like nobody's business!!!!
Kimberley Chibale One of the best performance ever. 👑👑💋
When the crowd realizes it's Whitney and goes crazy as she comes down the steps gives me chills. "I feel like an angel!!!!" Yassss Whitney
It was like my soul transformed
Whitney Houston the one and only 🥰
Whitney had so many iconic entrances
O N they have a video with her entrances but they missed this one! This is one of my favorites!
Even the one at the 2001 Michael Jackson special was legendary
@@malibongwexulu6409 I have always maintained that entrance was astounding! She had her game face on when came through those doors!
so many
That even me part took me clean to the spirit 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Whitney took this song to a gospel level and Mary J literally caught the holy spirit 🙏🏾❤️
It’s just like fire!!
High or whatever they should’ve made this into a single cause it’s good
Tbh, Mary takes this song to church even by herself.
Fr
If you listen closely you can hear Whitney singing in the background before she came out . Listen again you’ll hear Whitney in the background
If you don’t know the backstory of these two ladies, you won’t understand how powerful this performance is.
Say that!!!
On drugsssssss yeaa🤣🤣🤣

I lost my f-ing mind when Whitney came out the night it aired and here I am 14 years later crying. I hate that it had to happen to her.
Megan Carter me too. I think i cried.
Ikr! Whitney of all people!!! I heard it was a murder!!? But why?!?!? Smh She is at peace now!💖🙌🏾
What are the odds the BB is still here. Something still dont add up with Nippy
You are not alone ma’am
Rumor has it: Ja was supposed to come out with Mary. Although it was VH1 Divas, Ja was HUGE at this time. But he had two obligations. Which is why Mary had to rap/sing his part because they had rehearsed. Nippy being the person she is heard about it and told Mary she would cover 2hrs before the performance. They never rehearsed together which is why the energy is so organic. People like to weaponize them for their past and say they were high. That moment was organic impromptu artistry.
Love this - where did you hear the story!?
I first heard this song the day the doctor told me I miscarried my baby, that was my rainy day. The sunshine came when I found out the doctor was wrong, he is now 18 years old. And what a phenomenal duet! It doesn't get much better than Whitney and Mary, two of my favorites. Much love to Whitney, in heaven.
Listen...keep telling this testimony! I was encouraged just reading it! 💪
Wow😊❤
What a BEAUTIFUL testimony❤
Wow!!! How did the doctor get it so wrong?
@@kw9568 I woke up bleeding and my doctor ran a test and said if the numbers(?) dropped, it meant I miscarried. Well, she called me at work and told me the bad news. 2 weeks had passed before she would see me. I thought I had a dead child inside me for 2 weeks! She did an internal ultrasound and my boy's heart was pulsing and his little arms were moving. She said she didn't understand, the test was accurate. I didn't know if my husband was going to hug her or strangle her. Definitely some mixed emotions. I later read that the hormone she tested is supposed to reduce around that time of any pregnancy (I was 11 weeks). So.....her license should be yanked! My husband wanted to sue but I was afraid the stress would have been too much, I wasn't losing my boy again. He is now 20 and has autism and is the absolute light of my life! This song was dedicated to me the day I was told about the miscarriage, I still tear up when I hear it. Bittersweet. God blessed me with this beautiful child and I will always cherish him. Love and prayers to you, be blessed.🙏
"Even me lord, even me lord, even me, even me" That only line made the whole show watch worth it. Only Whitney can do a phrase and turn it into gold, and it was improvised, only Whitney
Whitney ARRIVED! She is so fucking iconic , her stage presence is like no other
Scott D Facts!!!
Mary has so much damn soul. That heavy husky voice sends chills down your spine!!
PERIOD!!!
Yesssss powerful she took it to church in such a jazzy way ✨
You can hear the pain !!!
Her voice told her story and it definitely made history and still is
Whitney silhouette is so recognizable, especially with that hand on her hip and her hankerchief. I just love her.😢
I shed a tear when Whitney sang:"..even me Lord" I dont know why that touched my heart. I felt it.
Its real.
Um yes lord..
Me too 🥺
aaaw, Whitney was so adorable in this performance...I love when she was singing "even me lord, even me lord"....she felt that wholeheartedly! Love this woman!
aleayh she almost went in on that part!

She just had something
Yes!!!
That walk off Whitney does kills me whew I miss this icon

Right back into the song like she never left lol🤣

Damn this performance was so emotional,sincere and passionate. I sense they both were going through something during this time.
Whitney walking down the stairs and Mary's reaction is priceless..
Josh Primas priceless!
She had no reaction - she did not jump up and down because of whitney - yall just reach for anything to put that woman on a pedestal! LOL
"even me lord" tugs at my heart ,I felt it with every fibre of my being R.I.P to the Greastest . Mary was tearing it up too
This performance is enough to make you cry! Emotional
Whitney‘s stage presence is magic. That walk she did was every everything ✊🏼🙌❤️

i know right so diva
I love this performance i got kinda emotional when whitney came out.
sure did!
I love and miss Whitney. I wish I could have gone to a concert before she died.

when it came to her gospel no matter what voice she was in she was always amazing in gospel god I miss this woman
Miguel Alves game MF Over, & That even me, she brought forth the demons

It was the "let me in the gates" that started it for meeeeeee
That “I Feel Like An Angel” Sends Chills To My Soul

Yes, that was Whitney Houston shut by Mary ❤❤❤
Yes she was confident never arrogant there will never be a voice like hers ❤️rest in peace Whitney
omg looking back this was a crying out for help, Mary thought Whitney wasn't going to show up and once she saw Whitney on stage he went nuts, breaks my heart even at her worst Whitney was amazinng
It looked as if she was motioning for her to come out!
There is something about those back and forth “smile on me” lines that does something to me
Call and response. Church and gospel music 🎵. Those ladies were in Spirit
Facts they took it to church
hearing Whitney sang "i feel like an angel" brought tears to my eyes, u are truly now an angel babygirl R.I.P to the VOICE miss WHITNEY HOUSTON
The way Nippy came down those stairs!!!!!! Yassssss huny the queen is here
Whitney Houston the way she walked out proves she's the best
