whitney's head voice is just absolutely insane
She had the best mid belts in pop industry. Her mid belts were not only loud and powerful. They were supported, resonant and vibrant. Also, they're pleasant to the ears. Unlike others who try to sing as powerful as they can, yet they're screaming and damaging people's ears #sorry. She also had the best head voice. They're heavenly!
R.I.P Whitney. Gone but not forgotten. 💓💙
Warm low notes, impressive voluminous belts, the best head voice Ever and a soulful smooth tone, all combined to create one of the greatest artist the world has ever know.
We love you, Whitney! Always remembered, never forgotten, forever missed.
I love the fact that although you're a Mariah Carey fan you never bash Whitney and try an put them against each other. And it's great to see other mature Mariah and Whitney fans not bash each other and fight over who had the better voice, who had the most # 1's, etc.
Thanks :) I get so annoyed with some fans nowadays. They always have to compare. I love them both equally :)
I explained it's not fair to compare whitney to Dolly Parton either. Just because of one song . Both were great and vocally they had a 5 . The same exact voice range. The difference between them were the time periods. Dolly Parton was country but she and other musicians at that time like Etta James. They told stories when singing there songs . Women weather your black or white. Wasent allowed to be loud that was showing off and vanity . Women of rock was controversial. Women like Janis Joplin and Tina Turner took a heavy beating by the churches because of there style of singing.
@@justinmotes9112 literally shut the fuck up. You're so annoying. Your profile picture aint doing you much justice either.
My vocal teacher's vocal teacher taught Whitney! All that resonance is just so good to the ears.
Sissy had a limited technique! I mean Sissy herself took Opera lessons and Whitney sure did take Opera vocal lessons in Manhattan an a teenager. She stated that several times!
ugh her head notes in the sixth octave always put me in awe
2:54 "Bobbyyyy !" to reach the Bb4 is priceless 😂 !
Whitney Houston's range was out of this world. Her voice was truly anointed by GOD HIMSELF. This is what I believe.
@@Dino-su2wh What? Her voice is truly anointed. After her rich tone, she also possess power and agility at the same time which is very RARE. Listen ua-cam.com/video/Jh9nPjwPF2o/v-deo.html
@@violetsrayreikishop2*God.
God created them all + their genetics combined, he could have let His gift skip her, but He didn’t.
Flawless voice from bottom to top.
I was born in the wrong generation. no one sings like this anymore 😢
Whitney Houston voice range was 5 octive . Dolly parton's voice was also a five . Of women Maria Carrie has a 7 . So Maria is the best of all .
I love whitney Houston. But her vocal and musical capabilities are over rated . Shes not even in the top 10 for her vocal capability . Everyone thinks her voice is bigger than Dolly parton's..? But actually they have the same vocal range. And comes to writing songs. Whitney co wrote all 7 of her songs with someone. Whitney had 10 number 1 hits . 4 of those were covers of other songs. That had already been number 1 hits. It's hard to destroy what's already been number one ! Unless your just a bad singer ? So did whitney make dolly Parton song better ? No because it was already number 1 twice by dolly . Whitney only braught the song into the black community. So now both races love the song .
@@ultimategrandmama3004 yep she has it for the top female vocalist range.
@@justinmotes9112 and what are you going on about because its not making sense to me. Like we get it, your a mariah fan (if thats what you were implying) and you prefer her voice over whitney that your opinion, but what i dont get is how mariah's name showed up in a video all about whitney huston
Furthermore you can compare a singer by how big their range is, you compare them based on how well they use their range
Incredible voice, exceptional vocalist. Beautiful video. I miss her
LOCO well she was an exceptional vocalist... it's not that deep. It's not shade, it's a great compliment.
Jonnydoesgaming what are you smoking ? Is it crack ? Bc crack is whack
@@flextapeyeet7209technically hell no. I don’t even get how you would think that subjectively.
I wish I were born just a decade earlier so I could have heard this legend live. The world misses her
whitney in the 80's, was like aretha in the 60's. ...unstoppable.
Whitney's voice was like a roller coaster
I love her little whistles, so cute but perfect pitch
It's natural for her to hit whistles. She even hit a perfect pitched F7 in SAMLFY Tokyo 1990. I heard she even went higher on some concerts.
She was so beautiful. I miss the old school music.
just further proves why she is my favorite female vocalist of all time.
I didn't though it was 13 minutes, it seemed like just half of it, but that was a very complete video. I love how you used the most recent belts and some that aren't as popular!!
YAASSS GOD, HONEY!!! I haven't even gotten through the intro and I've already thumbs up-ed this video. A proper and accurate vocal range for Whitney Houston is long overdue!
I'd say closer to 3. her lowest notes (D3 and beneath) are beyond foggy, I can't even distinguish their pitch.
at 6.48 her E5 from hold up the light is one of the most beautiful and resonant belts ive ever heard from a singer. Its was high but yet thick and resonant.
This woman will NEVER be forgotten. What a gifted soul on ALL levels! 🙏🏻❤️
This vocal trinity ( Celine, Whitney and Mariah) are my idols. Their voices carried me through my traumas and battle with Complex PTSD.
One of the best and only sopranos with the total package ❗️
The D5 @ 4:46-4:50. That was well out of her prime when her voice was on a massive decline, and she was still able to hold that note and with some great power. I was listening to it while i was looking on another page, so I thought it was in her prime. Then when I looked, it was far out of her prime, when her voice was in bad condition.
6:41-6:46 are my favorite E5s of her ever! 7:36 F5! Yes! 8:07 F#5, YES!
G5 @ 8:10. 8:31-8:33 G5! Always loved her G#5 and A5 from "Wanna be Startin' Somethin.'" 11:12-11:15 always love that operatic like G5. Love her B5 and C#6 (the 1st one). Head voice queen, and her belting was sublime.
lol that mix G5 with vibrato is impressive, I never know she can mix that high
She can belt up to G#5 and mix up to Bb5..She exclaimed a C#6..So her belting and mixing range is D4-Bb5(C#6)
We really need a reincarnation of this woman or someone who sounds like her god dammit she is so good it's so hard to believe something is perfect as her talent didn't live forever and ever. amazing video tho great job.
FF2 FF2 I know but Beyonce is nothing like Whitney. Whitney dedicated her whole career to her vocals and while Bey is one of the most amazing vocalist in music history she really pays little to no attention to being a vocalist. Even tho I'm sure there is nothing that Whiney did her that Beyonce can't. I really don't see Beyonce challenging her self and actually doing it.
+TayTay BeyNippy I don't know, I think Beyonce pays attention to being a vocalist. her technique is top notch and I'm not sure that can be said of someone who pays little to no attention being a vocalist. That's me, personally, but I understand where you're coming from :-)
Tyler 'MJ' Carey No I didn't mean it that way of course she cares about her instrument and she's always perfecting it but what I'm talking about is if she really cared for being a vocalist the way Whitney did. Then all of her albums would've been like "4" you know can you imagine if she sang on"I am sasha fierce" or "BEYONCE" the way she did on '4" we probably would've gotten exposed to many crazy dimensions of her voice that we didn't know even existed. I mean she hasn't belted anything above F5 in studio since 2011. Of course she's belted 2 G#5's 3 or 4 G5's and about 50 F#5's in the past 4 years but that's live. I really want more crazy studio records but that's not the topic. What I'm trying to say is that She doesn't consider herself "THE VOCALIST" she see's her self more as "A Vocalist". Whitney/Mariah/Celine/Brandy/Xtina/J.Hud all worked for one purpose and that is to be called "The Best Vocalist" Beyonce doesn't want that. She wants "The Best Performer" a hundred times more then she wants the title vocalist and from the way she speaks some time it kinda feels like she looks down upon people who don't have the Total Package she says allot that she never wanted to be called the girl that can sing she always want to be above just a singer, which shows she looks at vocalist who only depend on being vocalist as less then say people like Tina Turner/Michael Jackson/James Brown/Prince. Those people who were known for more then just being the amazing vocalist they were. That all I'm saying If Beyonce put more effort into just showing off her vocals as a vocalist the way Whitney did all the artist in the world would've probably retired. Because who knows what she can do 100% because that what she;s given as was never her 100%,
her head voice is the best. what she does with it ugh!!!!
Yeah, so sad to see that one of the greatest diva had to leave us so soon. Yeah, I'll always wish Mariah and Céline the best and hope they're always healthy so that they can still cherish this world with their musicality :)
I love how you used a lot of clips from out of her prime, proving that she had it just as well during her prime. I also loved the more obscure and little-used notes ;-)
Thank you friend!!! I really loved her voice actually in 2009-2010 (Russia concerts mainly), most people haven't even bothered to listen to them unfortunately.
Mariah Carey Fan Exactly. Have you seen the video on here called "Whitney Houston still had the voice"? It's by user Tina Olsen, you should check it out!
Tyler 'MJ' Carey Yup! One of my favorite videos:) I got a lot of notes from that video lol
The VOICE!!!!!!!
Thank god! THANK GOOOD
Not forgotten
Whitney's voice is everything she will forever be beyond amazing 😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘
YES LAWD @ Feels So Good playing in the intro. One of my absolute favorite songs ever. You did a great job. I love how this video takes from all parts of her career, even before the world knew who she was. I won't lie though, this video put me in my feelings. 😢 I miss her.
Thank you! Yasss Feels So Good is her best song imo, shame it was never properly released. I miss her too, crazy that she's been gone for 4 years :(
just started the video but I already know I'm about to be scalpt, dragged, and slayed thoroughly
Great compilation and loved #YourFavesCouldNever at 11:03 for the live head-chest run in Why Does It Hurt So Bad at the MTVs
Wow I didn’t realize she could still hit belted Eb5’s toward the end of her career. Her voice was impressive even with damage done to it!
11:54 both her B5 and run were gorgeous, but the pic of her and Mariah- Whitney looked amazing.
Great job. Nice video! I really enjoyed it. Whitney was special, really special. One of the greats indeed.
6:04 the fact that she managed to hit the studio note in that performance!!! Where is that show from?
It is from 2010 when her voice was bad.. she had some good belting moments
@@odumosuolusegun2781 gtfoh her voice wasn't bad Whitney vocal cords were perfectly fine her coach said this himself y'all keep putting out bs lies
IVE BEEN WAITING!!!
i never knew her agility was so incredible omg
Whitney Houston has a 4octave range stretching a 7octaves with an high falsetto of an a6
You can't stand the beauty and power of WHITNEY HOUSTON voice??...😄 Sorry, it is what it is. If you can't take it then stay in your line... Bitch! And Thank you and have a great day!
Aww... Please when you said stop speading bullshit, and Thank You. Yeah... I had to make my statement just like you did! So, please... Don't get offensive.
I'm glad I changed my mind and let you do this video because I don't think I could've did her as much justice as you did.
Awe thanks, that's so kind of you. I'd still love to see yours, though. :)
Yessssss best live range for Whitney!
Oh my gosh thank you!!! That's a huge compliment, especially coming from you because your videos are always perfect! Again thank you :) :)
To me, it seems like that A6 counts, but people don't like to count it. It wasn't really an exclamation..
Very good video I didn't know she was able to belt an A5 0.o
+Paweł Ziółkowski yes it does. Belting is when you bring your chest voice up past the passagio and mixing begins as low as the 4th octave for many singers. You cannot physically belt without mixing as mixing is natural. If you don't mix (ie basically force your chest voice up) then as you ascend you'd flip into falsetto of head voice.
"Lemme tell you something, the greatest female singer of all time is that dang Whitney Houston !" 😂😂😂😂
- Steve Harvey.
The best. Simply the best.
I think the E6 and A6 aren't within her significant range (for consistent usage in singing) which seems to be actually up to C#6. She's really among the best vocalists though.
Voyage Fest This which would challenge and demolish the theory she was ever a Soprano. Did she have a great voice in her prime that allowed maximum control of her voice? Yes she did but lets be real she had only a good 3.1 octaves.
No need to demolish her great vocal reputation with lies you know
@@mat_o8975 Sorry but drugs or cigarettes doesn't make you change vocal fachs. If she was "initially" a spinto soprano, then she'd be lowered into a full dramatic.
Whitney Houston was on contralto lists for identifying voices based on resonator frequencies. The type of voice was understood as the pitch of the voice, its tessitura, and not the timbre. A contralto with an additional resonator from 3500 Hz and above can sound like a soprano. A typical Whitney's resonator is 3000 Hz, with additional 4000 and 8000 Hz. Frequencies tipical resonators and voice type: 3000 Hz contralto, 3200 Hz mezzo, 3500 Hz soprano.
She also hit a c5 in head Voice in SAMLFY during the welcome home heroes concert
Wow! That last A5 belt though! I wouldn't have included those whistles though
@@Lilith816 even the g6 is a head voice, while the a6 is a whistle register
Amazing video! The richness and resonance in her voice really blown me away! And she has much better low than what I remembered! O.o
Thank you! I agree, her lows later in life were pretty darn good! Very underrated.
Yes, I think it's because people think she lost her voice after drugs usage, but her voice got deepened, so did her low!
And even some low notes in the earlier years were good as well.
Qanh Musicz Exactly! I really liked the F3 from I Will Always Love You. I though it was perfect. Especially for a Soprano
I couldn't tell your an A5 from a Bb4 but as a layman I must say that I think where she excels better than all other singers is her mid range voice. It's powerful, beautiful, and most importantly crisp. Most singers now and few before sing with a whispery voice that is annoying and amateurish at best. I realize she has amazing upper and upper registers and control too.
In “it isn’t it wasn’t” duet with Aretha, Whitney hits a Bb5 or B5 chest voice when she sings in her first verse “but that ain’t WHAT he said to me”.
Vibrato rápido y resonancia 😍😍😍 la voz mas unificada que he escuchado... solo So Hyang y ella 😍👍🏻
The best PERIOND.............
Imagine Whitney Houston as Elphaba in wicked! Would give anything to hear her sing those songs!
a vocal prodigy. RIP WH!
I thought Whitney had 2nd octave notes (I just assumed) I was surprised! But anyway I was so impressed by her voice I loved it!! You did great!
No can overpass the voice.
Very sweet video. Love it. I knew she had more than the claimed 3 octave range.
The Queen of Head and Belted Notes!
Whitney Houston Tessiutra:F3-E5-G#5
Intro song please. She's my top 3 vocalist now. Her tone is god himself
"Feels So Good" it's actually an unreleased song from I'm Your Baby Tonight album. That makes me happy! She isn't The Voice for no reason :)
Elizabeth Rey beyonce thats a laugh Whitney in her prime would of sang circles around her.
Excellent video , please make one of celine !!
Her voice is seriously just as agile as Christina, Bey and Mariah! 7:03 is a perfect example
It is! I try to be quiet about Whitney though, because I know I'll get dragged lmao. She really is JUST as agile imo.
She's much more agile than them but Mariah has the best musicality
That C3# 31 secs was crazy! That Nippy could do anything!
THE VOICE 😥
Whit had 5 octaves but didn’t show it she stood in her comfort zone
I have been saying that Nippy had full 5 octaves for years. Even at her worst 2010 she had 4 octaves.
@@klion3924 She didn’t have 5 octaves…. She only had 3 (C#3-C#6), 4 if you include the A2 from her song “Fine” and the A6 from the “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” performance in Brunei. I think if she had 5, or even a fully usable 4 octaves, she would’ve used it in her songs, whether it was comfortable for her or not.
Yass finally 😭
We are never voice from 2009 until she died was not good. I will never understand why people want to compare her voice from what it was until it ended. It's not a fair comparison. You judge her voice from when she started through her prime . Because we know what happened afterwards. Greatest voice ever to grace the planet!! And yes, I put Aretha behind Whitney
Not sure why I never commented on this lolol but wow you must've put a lot of time and effort into this!! Great video!! And woah her voice is like... Idek but woah
Lol I did! About a year and a half 😬 Thank you for watching! I love your videos as well :)
What a beautiful video. I miss this legend.
Whitney was a great singer, diva of the divas, owner of a wonderful talent that was unfortunately troubled by drugs mainly. You miss miss Whitney(R.I.P).
she is amazing but... over D6 is not notes with a vocal technic and power for a vocal range! is only exclamations... ;)
She was able to hit those note not by scream but by normal head voice, so it considered as part of her vocal range
Parts of her voice that shines the most: mid belts and head voice!
i personally believe that mariah carey and whitney houston are the two greatest live vocalists of all time! although i believe whitney has a SLIGHT slight edge over mariah imo. Who do u think is the better live vocalist between the two? :)
disagree, you need to look at technical terms. Mariah's voice from 1990-96 was a force of nature. That technicality was at its peak and the possibilities she could do with her voice were endless. Amazing vibrato, strong belts, upper range belts, the best melisma ever, beautiful whistle notes with amazing control, a range of 5 octaves where she could even reach 6 or 7 if she wanted to, amazing growls, those rivalling whitney's (although id say whitney has the better growls), the best ressonance ever, coloratura etc. Whitney was also just a force of nature in her prime from 87-93ish. Just amazing. I dont believe one is better than the other because their primes seem pretty equal. Simple as that. Two of the greatest vocalists of all time. Those are facts
Sam Sam I would say Whitney because she had a special gift that transcended all the technical things the way that Sarah Vaughan's did in her era. If Mariah didn't have her whistle register she probably wouldn't be mentioned along with Whitney imo, vs Whitney with the lesser range being widely considered the greatest voice of all times without a whistle register; she didn't need it.
Edward E ok but if she did have that whistle register that's like saying Whitney wouldn't have her head voice. Therefore Whitney wouldn't be THE greatest singer of all time. Mariahs whistle register is not the only component that makes her one of the greatest vocalists of all time btw, it's her technicality which I dare say is possibly even greater than whitneys. However, id still put them as a tie as the greatest of all time in terms of vocals.
Sam Sam Well you asked the question. To me Whistle register is inferior to head voice, just my opinion, If it were not for UA-cam I probably wouldn't really distinguish between it and just another high note. I personally like Mariah voice whether she had it or not. Whitney has the superior instrument imo.
All the times she hit b4 after 1993 im like YOU COULD’VE DONE IWALY ORIGINAL KEY
really nice video but I think you missed some stellar notes of her career (as the amazing C#5s in Greatest Love Of All and some others), thanks for doing this tho :)
I know what notes you were talking about. I avoided those on purpose because everyone uses them. I tried to find as many unused notes as possible. Thank you for watching :)
Omfg I wasn't ready for all this it's too great!
I will always love you! Whitney! May you rest in peace in heaven with Kristina always by your side❤
Celebrating the 61st Birthday of Miss Whitney Elizabeth Houston this a.m August 9, 2024.
Her notes were soooooo open and full
