    She was a storyteller! Whitney could belt all through the song if she wanted to but she knew how to give the lyrics meaning and tell a story! She was such a powerful performer!

    I am a Huge Mariah Carey fan. I love her voice, but this song is far better than any of Mariah Carey's live performances. This is a real Masterclass like you said. She puts this song on a level that is higher than any person can reach. She has a Voice that no one can mimic. Love this lady

    Another great reaction of the one and only goat, Whitney, and I believe this song was written for her :) if you havent already, exhale(shoop, shoop) is another example of her great storytelling ability to react to. And yes, imo, she is the best live vocalist. Everything she did was intentional and magical.

    I love watching your reactions. They are so genuine and honest. It shows through clearly how these singers and the music move you. And seeing that makes it all the more enjoyable for the viewer. To see a reactor recognize the greatness of a singer is pure joy. And Whitney Houston, for me, is the greatest female singer in my life time. Hands down. I was very lucky to witness her rise to stardom. I was in college at the time, and I remember listening to the radio and she was singing her ass off. This was the first time I had ever heard her and I remember actually stopping what I was doing because her voice grabbed me. I thought, damn, who is that? I couldn’t believe her vocal ability. I was hooked from that point on. So, thank you for reacting to my favorite female singer. By the way, and I know this is not fair to ask, but, if you had to choose your favorite female singer, who would it be?

      Whitney and Mariah are up there for me, now - though before I started this channel last summer I had maybe only heard one or two songs each by them. Some of my favourite female voices (not necessarily greatest singers, though some are): Karen Carpenter, Amy Winehouse, Judee Sill, Gladys Knight, Stevie Nicks, Etta James, Loretta Lynn, Dusty Springfield, Tina Turner, Aretha... I could go on!

      @@bridgethegapreactions I like your list, especially Gladys knight, Aretha Franklin and Karen Carpenter. You probably already know this, but Karen Carpenter was also a drummer. Some people say she was a drummer who could sing. There are several videos on UA-cam of her drumming and singing at the same time. Not easy to do. When you have time, you should check out Bonnie Raitt and her song, I Can’t Make You Love Me. The official music video. It’s in black and white and says, Vevo. Great song, beautiful instrumentals. I know many people have done this song, but her version is the best and it was the original version. I think you would really like it.

      @@bridgethegapreactions One more thought… If you are a fan of the drums, I highly, highly recommend you listen to Dire Straits and their ALCHEMY Live performance of their song, Sultans of Swing. One of the best live performances you will ever see. It HAS to be the ALCHEMY LIVE performance. Incredible drumming and of course the guitar solo is amazing. Another video well worth your time.
