@@BUTTER-oc5gs y'all are both wrong lmao, Beyonce is a world class vocalist, dont denigrate someone's commitment to their art to uplift another. But no, she's also not the new Whitney, Whitney had something special that just isn't replicable, her voice was a fingerprint that we just won't see again, that woman left her mark on the world and countless souls within it, she didnt have a gift, she *was* a gift
Houston and Streisand are both highly regarded as the greatest interpreters which is why they were aggressively sought after by the industry’s TOP songwriters.
Actually I just said that about 24 hours ago. Someone was playing the recorded version in the car and I for a few seconds didn't even recognize it because I've always had this version burned into my brain! Lol she killed this!
This performance is 10-20x better than the recorded studio version. Her raw embodiment of the lyrics, hearkens emotion with reckless abandon while quivering with finesse. That dumb a-s audience should have been on their feet after she gifted them with this delivery.
Every time I watch this video - and I’ve watched too many times to count - I think exactly the same thing. Undeserving audience. They should have been ON THEIR FEET after this performance.
Masterclass stunning. No one performed ballots better than Whitney. But what separates Whitney from other superstars is that she is living the experience she's singing about on stage.
The Waiting to Exhale soundtrack was a masterpiece. Babyface and Whitney were an awesome collaboration. Ms. Whitney left her fans with a legacy of beautiful music.
C'mon JR --- don't sleep on Re Re, Toni, Chaka, Mary, Brandy, SWV, Chante, CeCe and Faith, et al. But other than that . . . Preach, Preacher 🙏🏽⛪! But lastly, it is just too painful to watch the gift that this lady abandoned somewhere along the way --- probably because we were both born in 1963! 😪 AND IT STILL HURTS SO BAD . . . 🤎💔❤🩹💦
I am. I watch this all the time. She embodies the lyrics. Simply amazing. Unbelievable! The pain in her voice. She should still be here singing. I cry when I hear her. She is the QUEEN!💔💔💔💔💔
Not just in her marriage… she was torn, and tormented in her walk with Christ. This song gives her a release in her Soul and Spirit. The battle starts in your head. Thank Our Lord and Savior that the enemy didn’t win - it’s a testament to what we all face daily. I Pray she has eternal Peace now. Whitney, Bobbi Chis, and Cissy.
WHY!!!! WHY!! WHY!!! 😭 Our world will never be the same without this ANGEL!!! Gone but will definitely never be forgotten!! REST IN HEAVEN, QUEEN!! 🙏🏾🫶🏾♥️
I first heard Whitney when I was 17 or 18 years old and was simply impressed by her passion for bringing love and feelings to the stage in songs. That was around 2002 and their best time and songs from the 90s were already a decade over. but I still remember how I prayed for her every time and asked God for help. that she managed to get out of her drug problems and made a comeback.. many years later it happened, unfortunately she didn't manage to stay strong
@@Nick-jz6ezthe first time I heard her when I was 4. I'm your baby tonight just came out and when I tell you, it just got me up and dancing.. I loved her since
Babyface wrote this song for Whitney years before Waiting to Exhale happened but she couldn't sing it at the time because she didn't feel the lyrics. She was madly in love with Bobby at the time, it took him breaking her heart for her to finally record this record. You can hear the pain in the voice when she sings it 💔
Whitney Houston is a league of her own; cut above the rest. She’s incredibly talented that she captivates her audience to her repertoire of songs and when she sings a song over again it’s always a different story, tune and feeling that as if she owns it, no one else. That’s how a great singer she is, and a performance to the roof.
This sh!t is completely untouchable! I hurt so bad knowing this world will never know another singer on her level! She was beyond good, beyond great… She was THE voice!! I love you Whitney! ❤
I’ve heard people say many negative things about Whitney , but one thing NO ONE could ever deny and that is that she could sing!! Say what you will but you can’t take that from her !
@@angelajohnson7001 AMEN!!! I’ve said since she passed(murdered) . Whitney gave us everything she had and when she had nothing else left to give she went home .
Finally someone with sense‼️ despite her struggles and all she went through... she gave us the best while proving she was (is) the best‼️ Those around her didn't deserve her & she gets blamed for everything when she truly grew up thinking it was okay. She grew up around smokers (her mom & Dionne etc...) her brother pushed her into drugs and Bobby encouraged it. Despite all the bs she was still the best and couldn't (still can't) be touched by any singer ever she wasn't just a singer she was a Vocalist and vocal perfection!!
@GR-kh7co I agree with you about her honorific name I felt like it was inadequate especially after they made a show called the voice. Cause if you look up , Queen of soul, empress of soul, king of pop, rock, any of those it take you right to Aretha , Gladys, Michael, Elvis .
I think this is her best live performance ever. It's right here where she shows us what she was truly capable of. The greatness that was her voice. It's sad she never got the chance to really revel in this gift. For us though, we have this recorded moment to remind us of how great she was. RIP.
Oh yeah -- there are some others that might be vocally better. But this one is the perfect combination of incredible vocals and emotion and so for me it's my favorite. She just lays her heart out on the floor with this one and it's magic
Its crazy that this live version is better than the original version. I felt every word the body language. Everytime i hear this song my heart goes haywire.
This song was personal for Ms Whitney... a true refection of her own internal conflict and heartfelt pain and sense of loss and I suspect personal sense of failure. To me she seems like a prize fighter on the ropes after taking a solid beating... Hurt... Exhausted... Defeated but not broken... I come back to this video at least once or twice a year... It ministers to the root of my very soul.
Her voice was best here. So mature. So seasoned.... At every stage she was the best! And if she had the chance or even really wanted it she would still reign as queen!❤
Late 90s Whitney is my favorite era for her (unpopular opinion I'm sure) because her voice still had so much power, range and clairty (even if a little was already lost) but it was also so FULL and mature sounding. Incredible.
@@zs4580 loved her voice all the way up until she left us. Why because no matter what she gave her best even in her worst of times and that is worthy of loyalty.
David Foster said Whitney would sing a song so much better than he intended it. When he would have Celine Dion perform she would sing it exactly how he told her to sing. This is difference with Whitney. She preformed straight from her soul. She doesnt just sing. She magnifies the meaning of the lyrics.
The audience was left stunned baby they hadn't witnessed such a phenomenon that is Whitney Whitney Whitney! This blows the record version away! Bravo 👏🏽
@@diorrboyyyy She may be in her 40s but she looks like she is in her 20s!! She has proven to the world that age is indeed just a number plus she has brains!! She is worth billions !!
After watching this so many times I noticed when she got to the bridge to hit those high notes the backup singers backed up and then came back when she finished. Whitney was like this is all me.
Is anyone else getting emotional? I have tears for her and for this song. If you don't know the backstory of this woman, you can't understand the deep meaning of this song. This performance is impressive and intimate. She conveys to us her emotions so well, because she feels this song her own, for her the right time has come to sing this. No one on this earth can thrill like Whitney, she touches your heart and your soul. This singer interprets the songs with an incredible passion, with deep feeling and with a greatness of soul that excite you totally. She's simply the best. Never let go that tissue, Nippy. It's so iconic. Miss you so much, baby. Only love for you. The only one who can beat Whitney is just Whitney. ❤❤
Here in 2024. I can't believe that she is gone. For a lot of vocalist, this would be a an award show version but for Whitney its a on the porch singing for mommy and them.
Whitney Houston was one of the most natural singers ever. She infused her emotions and sensibilities into her songs. She made sad songs joyous to listen to. Love and miss you Ms. Whitney 🎉❤❤
Once that anointed head turns to the side and one of those gifted hands goes on her hip and those statuesque shoulders get tuh bopping u lnow its finna go down! The Eternal Queen Of Music !
Has sister as a COGIC church going and know Jesus for my self that’s 😊 that the preacher have you come up and hands are trembling with Gods power not the man Chile slain in spirit we go down love your comment …anointed
The Voice period, there will never be another Whitney not ever, she was her music, she loved it, she became the lyrics.. she will always be my absolute favorite female voice of all time ❤
Slow clap by audience at the end. They were shell-shocked by such a mind blowing performance. They did not know what hit them!!!! One of Whitney"s best live performances on record. This performance was so understated
Man, Whitney attacked this song with the ferocity of a lioness. Her vocal’s truly were raw and she puts so much emotion into the lyrics of this beautiful song. She was killing it vocally and judging by the wimpy applause, that audience was not worthy of her presence in front of that mic..she deserved a thunderous applause because she crushed this performance entirely in the 5 plus minutes that it took her to wrap up the ending, seriously.
Now overall I tend to listen to Mariah more because I overall prefer her song writing, production and technician-approach to vocals. But to me Whitney demonstrates something that Mariah never had even in her prime (for me anyway), a sense that she could enter another soulful state wherein she embodies the lyrics. Whitney gave pure visceral energy here. Never replicated
I agree! Mariah's musicality is out of this world but Whitney had the power to transport you way up there with her... So full of soul... It's a shame most of her records weren't able to capture a fraction of the magic of her live performances.
@@michaelpatrick7888both were technically gifted and excelled in just about everything they did vocally, inside and outside their primes. They’ve even shocked masters of other genres, like opera for Whitney for example, while just playing around. Whitney was in vocal lessons since childhood because of church, and Mariah picked up what she could from listening in on her mother’s vocal lessons because she was a vocal coach but wouldn’t teach Mariah. Both have consistently shown capabilities that only masters, and not all of them, could do. They both studied and performed multiple genres and Whitney’s death had nothing to do with “wasting” her gift, which she didn’t do. With all due respect, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@michaelpatrick7888and if you doubt the validity of Whitney’s musical upbringing, old church music is in line with opera in terms technical difficulty. You can’t not know music, or not be well trained and practiced, and still sound good singing it. It demanded proficiency and Whitney was quoted saying that if she didn’t sound as good as the adults, she was back rehearsing and in lessons
This woman was the only artist that never needed auto tune and made you feel every lyric that’s why she will always be the voice god love Whitney houston the voice
Yes, great singer but definitely not the only one…….Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand in recent years……Ella, Doris Day in earlier times…..lots more too!
I never get tired of this performance. She gave everything on that stage. Whitney was really special, she always seemed so confident, a true artist, you don’t doubt her for a second, you don’t think is she gonna pull this off? Is she going to dodge this part? She just surprises me and delivers something better than I could ever expect. She’s mesmerizing, like she just grab me by her hand and take me on this ride. Amazing.
When I tell you have chills all over my body. This Amazing woman has the most Angelic Voice ever. This is my FAVORITE song and this version is better than the recording. RIP WHITNEY..THE VOICE!!
I couldn't even listen to all of song. I was so overwhelmed and impressed and humbled all at the same time. Had to temporarily stopped it kicked me so good
It hurts so bad to have lost her. I am in total awe, stars in my eyes, chills and goosebumps when I see her get into this state when she sings. She gave us everything, and the world was too cruel to her. She deserved so much more recognition. What a shame. We lost the greatest singer in the world.
May God avenge the killers that unalive her and robbed us of such a everlasting beautiful voice and awesome woman..Time is drawing near for this revelation...
I can’t explain what kind of superiority she has, when she performs with that kind of voice, I feel like she is owning me for no reason. I am totally in awe. When you watch her, she will just gonna take out your energy but end up with the feeling of satisfaction. ahhhhh! I don’t know anymore!
What sets her apart from other powerhouses is her ability to embody the lyrics. She was FEELING these words.
@abuansari Beyounce does the same , she is the new Whitney!!
@@genten777 not in this lifetime or any other, Beyonce is a good performer, but in contrast to Whitney's , Queen Bey barely sounds like a singer.

It absolutely was.
The live is better than the recorded song. This woman was extra ordinarily sensational at singing. Truly a gods gift!!
i agree, the studio version is like a sleeping pill
*Comparing this, Studio version is sooo LAME!!! Gooooosebumps*

@@jameskirk1638 Totally Agreed ...
The studio version sounds soooo lame right hahahahahahaaaaa
agreed - that was one of the biggest misses in the movie. The scene should have been from this performance, not the recording session
Whitney was one woman who could sing a live version of her songs better live than recorded
This performance is 10-20x better than the recorded studio version. Her raw embodiment of the lyrics, hearkens emotion with reckless abandon while quivering with finesse. That dumb a-s audience should have been on their feet after she gifted them with this delivery.
You couldn’t have said it any better i totally agree!!!!
Whitney knew she sang the tail off this song
Really I was expecting that from these deaf insensitive fools And after giving all I think she did also and was surprised to see this poor reaction
This version is Everything!!!!one of the greatest voices and talent of all time.
Every time I watch this video - and I’ve watched too many times to count - I think exactly the same thing. Undeserving audience. They should have been ON THEIR FEET after this performance.
Hurts so bad that she is not with us. There will never be a VOICE like Whitney! She is definitely dearly missed. 😢👑

She becomes the lyrics, she becomes the song, she becomes the groove, she becomes the emotions!!! Just AMAZING!!! I will always love you, Whitney!

I feel so blessed to have seen her in concert. Can't believe it was 23yrs ago. Damn. 😢❤❤

@@chef_boyarceez in 1996 at the mtv movie awards
It was the only place she could sing it this raw. MTV awards are more loose and unrefined than other music awards. She could actually relax here.
me on the other hand I like it
Her voice is just UNREAL. How the hell does she sound 5 times better than the studio recording?!?! HOW?! I miss her so much!
And she was sitting down the whole time, singing like that! ❤🙏🏾
Because she was Whitney Houston.
Because she was the VOICE
That’s why she’s the QUEEN! 👸🏽
It is unmatched.
Anybody else watching the voice Nippy aka The voice in 2024 👀
I am. I watch this all the time. She embodies the lyrics. Simply amazing. Unbelievable! The pain in her voice. She should still be here singing. I cry when I hear her. She is the QUEEN!💔💔💔💔💔
I watch this clip daily lately, one of Whitney’s best live performances, even better than classic ballads like IWALY and I have nothing
Always ❤
Essa música e incrível amo demais ouvida.
Nippy forever
I come here at least twice a week to hear this. 😩😩😩 (4yrs and counting)
This performance is so raw - one can feel her heartbreak here. I hope you’re at peace now, Ms. Houston. You are my GOAT.
she can stand up....sit down....roll on the floor and still can carry a note
😂 so true
Does she also bring it lying down? 😃😃😎😎
If she wants too
❤❤
@cister246: BUT she can't dance like Queen B!!
She sings this song with a tear in her voice…AMAZING
All the pain and turmoil she experienced in her marriage went into that singing.
Not just in her marriage… she was torn, and tormented in her walk with Christ.

The Voice period, there will never be another Whitney not ever, she was her music, she loved it, she became the lyrics.. she will always be my absolute favorite female voice of all time ❤
You are missed truely deeeply... 19 June 2024
The girl transports you to a magical place when she sings... to her soul... unfailingly...
That run with that flawless transition at 3:46 🔥!
And this was done whilst sitting on a chair.....can you imagine if she was standing.... Yes Lord.....#RIPNIPPY
2024 and still the vocal beast 🩵
It's when she started swinging that leg ! 🔥🔥🔥
Slow clap by audience at the end. They were shell-shocked by such a mind blowing performance. They did not know what hit them!!!! One of Whitney"s best live performances on record. This performance was so understated
Man, Whitney attacked this song with the ferocity of a lioness. Her vocal’s truly were raw and she puts so much emotion into the lyrics of this beautiful song. She was killing it vocally and judging by the wimpy applause, that audience was not worthy of her presence in front of that mic..she deserved a thunderous applause because she crushed this performance entirely in the 5 plus minutes that it took her to wrap up the ending, seriously.
Now overall I tend to listen to Mariah more because I overall prefer her song writing, production and technician-approach to vocals. But to me Whitney demonstrates something that Mariah never had even in her prime (for me anyway), a sense that she could enter another soulful state wherein she embodies the lyrics. Whitney gave pure visceral energy here. Never replicated
I agree! Mariah's musicality is out of this world but Whitney had the power to transport you way up there with her... So full of soul... It's a shame most of her records weren't able to capture a fraction of the magic of her live performances.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
God is near...that is what i feel when i hear her❤
@@michaelpatrick7888both were technically gifted and excelled in just about everything they did vocally, inside and outside their primes. They’ve even shocked masters of other genres, like opera for Whitney for example, while just playing around. Whitney was in vocal lessons since childhood because of church, and Mariah picked up what she could from listening in on her mother’s vocal lessons because she was a vocal coach but wouldn’t teach Mariah. Both have consistently shown capabilities that only masters, and not all of them, could do. They both studied and performed multiple genres and Whitney’s death had nothing to do with “wasting” her gift, which she didn’t do.
With all due respect, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@michaelpatrick7888and if you doubt the validity of Whitney’s musical upbringing, old church music is in line with opera in terms technical difficulty. You can’t not know music, or not be well trained and practiced, and still sound good singing it. It demanded proficiency and Whitney was quoted saying that if she didn’t sound as good as the adults, she was back rehearsing and in lessons
What a voice. Blows the studio version out of the water. 💯💯💯💯
2024 of June and I'm still here. I saw her in 2000. Absolutely EMACULATE!!! 😂❤❤❤😢
This woman was the only artist that never needed auto tune and made you feel every lyric that’s why she will always be the voice god love Whitney houston the voice
Yes, great singer but definitely not the only one…….Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand in recent years……Ella, Doris Day in earlier times…..lots more too!
She was broken hearted💔💔💔 she real queen words❤🎵🎶💯💯💯 she loved that man who broke her❤❤
THE VOICE
Her presence commanded so much attention and all eyes on me. One National Treasure! 💜💐🕊🙏🏽
So far no one has measured up to Whitney...she is/was the greatest! She's gone but never will be forgotten.
All i can say is wow Whitney sang like an angelic angel
I'm here 2024 Whitney You're Miss❤❤
I never get tired of this performance. She gave everything on that stage. Whitney was really special, she always seemed so confident, a true artist, you don’t doubt her for a second, you don’t think is she gonna pull this off? Is she going to dodge this part? She just surprises me and delivers something better than I could ever expect. She’s mesmerizing, like she just grab me by her hand and take me on this ride. Amazing.
Perfect Pitch, Voice and Presence! Praise God!
When I tell you have chills all over my body. This Amazing woman has the most Angelic Voice ever. This is my FAVORITE song and this version is better than the recording. RIP WHITNEY..THE VOICE!!
Whitney’s blues riff at 4:48 kicks so much ass
What a dull growl!
@@thomasrehag1747 wasnt dull nor a growl….you’re so weird
I couldn't even listen to all of song. I was so overwhelmed and impressed and humbled all at the same time. Had to temporarily stopped it kicked me so good
This is by far my most favorite performance of Miss Whitney Houston! I don't care if she was high or not! I felt every word, she sang!
The fact that she sang this high or not, makes this phenomenal.
@@adolphusjohns6313 that's what I just said.... 🙄 Duh....
You can agree with a person and they're still snarky. Off I go.
@@adolphusjohns6313 learn to articulate yourself better. I concur, OFF YOU SHOULD GO! You're dismissed
It hurts so bad to have lost her. I am in total awe, stars in my eyes, chills and goosebumps when I see her get into this state when she sings. She gave us everything, and the world was too cruel to her. She deserved so much more recognition. What a shame. We lost the greatest singer in the world.
She was so down to earth that’s why she was the best😅❤
May God avenge the killers that unalive her and robbed us of such a everlasting beautiful voice and awesome woman..Time is drawing near for this revelation...
I really felt what Withney was singing. Best Singer ever!
I can’t explain what kind of superiority she has, when she performs with that kind of voice, I feel like she is owning me for no reason. I am totally in awe. When you watch her, she will just gonna take out your energy but end up with the feeling of satisfaction. ahhhhh! I don’t know anymore!
The BEST Whitney performance...Period! She took this one straight to tha bridge!!!
