    Whitney has always had the greatest respect towards people she sang with and also artists she didn't sing with. Whitney never tried to ousting people and nobody did in this trio either. They're friends and enjoyed singing together.

    Whitney Houston's title as "the Voice" isn't mere hype; it's a well-earned accolade. Her impact transcends generations, and since the early '80s, I've closely observed her musical journey. Whitney's versatility is evident as she delved into opera and jazz, showcasing her extraordinary talent.
    Notably, "The Preacher's Wife" stands as a testament to her gospel prowess, having sold over 6 million copies globally-an unparalleled achievement making it the ultimate Gospel album. Take a moment to let that sink in; Whitney's influence on this genre is truly unparalleled.
    While acknowledging other great artists like Cece, Whitney remains exceptional-the gold standard of her era. Delve into interviews with industry legends like David Foster, Dionne Warwick, Stephanie Mills, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Babyface, Mariah Carey, and Chaka Khan, and you'll find unanimous acclaim for Whitney's unmatched musical prowess. In the symphony of legendary voices, Whitney Houston stands as a harmonious force, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry.

    CeCe's voice is heavier and Whitney's voice is lighter. Whitney is naturally going to have more ease. A lot of people truly don't know how high Whitney's voice set. She had a voice that set really high in the beginning. A true Soprano and she knew it too. Whitney's voice naturally darkened a few years after. This is my favorite performance of the song.

    Cece is amazing!! I always thought her and Whitney sounded a lot alike. Cece wasn’t trying to keep up it comes naturally to her. I saw her last year and at almost 60 her voice is as powerful as it’s always been. Listen to “Count on Me” to hear how amazing her and Whitney sound together!!

    Without knowing anyone involved or anyone who was there.I feel like Whitney pushed Bebe and Cece to be even better then they had been before by her singing abilities. Whitney was taller then Cece so she had larger lungs and could sing with more air capacity. But Cece could stay right with Whitney.Cece has said humbly that Whitney could sing Bebe and Cece's songs better then they could.I think she was being modest. There is one video where all three of them are singing together and Bebe takes it to another level. I think Bebe and Cece both took it to another level not out of jealousy or complications but because they were singing with someone at the time who was great. I wish all three could sing together today. At Whitney's funeral Cece gave her all like in this video.People would miss Whitney but Cece showed that God has given others the gift to sing greatly.( My words not Cece's words) Cece repeatedly called Whitney her sister and recorded with her.I believe there was no jealousy.Or competition between the three.

      yes Whitney did have a lighter voice. Cece was more robust but Whitney could still match her power for power . Infact the point is Cece had to struggle a bit to get up to the same notes that where effortless for Whitney because they had different kind of voices. A true way to catch this is watch Whitney sing the Cece classic Dont cry for me and see the power Whitney could generate on that song and Watch the Cece original, equally great, but I would say Whitney even with a smaller instrument had the vocal development of a boss. I would argue Whitneys version is more powerful than Cece's original.

      nobody trying to outshine anyone. First they're all friends and they are most supportive of each other. It's like when they tried to say Luther was putting Whitney in her place when they sang That's what Friends are for. Not at all, greatness just brings out greatness with the ultimate respect. Wish we had that today.
