So many Black women sound like queens to me. Voice is powerful but held back and it has a tone all of its own. I looked for this quality in the voices of women of other races, but it is just not there. It sounds like silk and grace. I dont have it. Maybe i could take voice lessons. I want to.
Only the best voices in the world don’t have to try to sound good. They don’t need to belt to prove they are good. They could sing something as simple as twinkle twinkle little star and blow us away.
I don't want to see any bad pictures or videos of her, I don't want to hear any more negative things about her. We all know she had her demons, as we all do. I want to remember her as she was in her finest times and the sparkle in her eyes..
Whitney’s voice was so beautiful singing that song! She was such a true vocalist. I’ve never seen anyone be so comfortable singing impromptu live. And sounding amazing while doing it. I miss her so.
i will never understand how someone gifted with looks, talent, charisma, and presence can just throw it all away for drugs. whitney had that one thing many singers couldn't beat: her live performances were as good, if not better than her recorded versions. why'd you ruin it, whitney, WHY?!
She set the bar up higher that still no one does even dare dream of competing. She was simply the Greatest Female of all time! It requires centuries for Ms Nature to fabricate such an amazing angel like WHITNEY! She'll be missed and loved here for an eternity! R.I.P beautiful angel 😇! God bless
Oh My Gosh!! I remember watching this episode of Friday Night Videos as a kid and being so overjoyed!! I was totally obsessed with Whitney as a child. Aww The Memories.............
you are everything and everything is you ...that was a nice little duet ...she's so geunine and warm in her earlier interviews...Fly home Free Nippy....:( your music will forever be remembered...
The reason why Paul Shaffer is so successful, and so respected, is because he is a true fan of the music and the artists. He is an incredible talent, and worthy of hanging with Whitney for kitschy little gigs like this. This is an outstanding little bit of fun memories.
R.I.P Whitney. I remember when this aired in the fall of 1986, and I watched it. I love Whitney, how I wish she remained on the same path that she was on during that time, great voice and talent, my girl !
Damn! For the better part of 15 years I've been talking about Friday Night videos here on UA-cam but nobody knew what I was talking about. I can't believe I finally found a video of it. Friday Night videos was awesome when we were kids. That's how we got our musical news
Whitney singing You Are Everything makes me wish she had covered more classic soul songs, even if they were just album tracks and not necessarily singles.
I know Arista forced her to get these extensions....but I loooooooooooove her hair like this. A gorgeous mane around her like a lioness, she was a Leo after all. 80’s Whitney will always be MY Whitney.
Funny but true! Whitney's first album was only one year old and Paul said Whitney's greatest hits. She already had that much of hits of just one album.
This was a very enjoyable video. I greatly remembered first watching Paul Shaffer and Whitney Houston host this episode back in March 1986. It was nice to see it again.
but he is so nice and so respectable. I loved when he started playing and it was beautiful the way Whitney just started signing "You are everything and everything is you" she seems like she appreciated his sweetness and kindness...she deserved that....
She behaved so adult already just being 22. Such a professional young girl. But I guess the early professionalism and career focus came at a very high price. Somewhat scary to watch now....
That was back when record labels made it mandatory to go through interviewing and public speaking grooming and training as ways of shaping their artist especially the younger artist
Whtiney was groomed by her Mom growing up, and once she got her record deal,, groomed by Arista and Clyde Davis; so she was going to be groomed regardless.. They still develop artists in the industry now,, the title is called A & R, artists and repertoire. There also is the option to be independent or go with boutique labels, so there are more options for distribution deals and more independence for artists today.
This was uploaded on my birthday...what a gift!! This video is a significantly happy childhood memory for me!!! Whitney truly was my childhood hero. Thanks so much for posting it.
I remember watching this in '86. I thought it was a gross interview then and it took me about 30 years to come around. I do like him now. I wonder what he would think of this interview today.
I thought the same weird vibe in 2022 Paul was like a creepy uncle - how old are you body of a 23 year old - yikes except he was caught on camera - the stuff that women had to endure
This is awesome. Yea shaffer is awkwardly creepy but with all the talent he has and all the talent he's interacted with, he knows he's amongst royality. Yet Whitney is so humble and sweet, just doing what she does.
Paul comes off instantly creepy. He must have had a huge crush on Whitney because I've never gotten that vibe from him before. Here he glows with creepiness throughout this video.
I don’t know why white people feel as if they have the right to treat Black people any type of way…and feel like they are a privilege to us Blacks. Clearly, he was being inappropriate and even more clearly, I could sense that Whitney felt VERY UNCOMFORTABLE with a white man kissing her in the mouth! Throughout this entire video, you could see him being a pervert and very suggestive towards Whitney. Watch the way she jumps EVERYTIME she has to look at him or he moves near to her! It’s disgusting!
oh my god, I remember watching friday night videos as a kid, because we didn't have MTV,VH1,BET,and all the other music video stations. Shit I don't think we had cable period. LOL
This is actually a rerun from a 1986 segment with Paul Shaffer and Whitney Houston, with clips from 1988 added like the music video for New Edition's "If It Isn't Love."
To Whitney it seems all through your life you wondered were you good enough....from your fans of today on many post We always did think you were better than good enough...you had nothing to prove you did your thing... RIP WHITNEY E. HOUSTON...your legacy still continues..
😍This is such a sweet and fun interview❣ The interaction between the 2 of them is so good. As always Whitney looked very beautiful and enchanting, but also super adorable. Whitney's smile always brightens up the darkest times and is so heart warming.🥰 5:42 The most beautiful and soul soothing sound often came out of Whitney's mouth❣
LMFAOOOO!!!! I think it was supposed to be a side cheek kiss💀 when they got closer you can see sh kinda tilted her head. Dude just went in for the kill💀💀💀😂
Such grace, talent and beauty. Men just lost their minds around her and act creepy lol. Rip Nippy!! Singer are not designed like you anymore. You were such a blessing to humility.
It's so adorable when Paul and Whitney sing together. Reminds me of the dichotomy of Sonny and Cher...you cringe at his voice, but then you just wanna say "awww..." ;)
He does not creep me out one bit! I love him! And he is the only reason I am watching this interview! I would be very appreciative to be in an interview with him.
Her voice was like fine silk. So beautiful.
She was indeed a rare, once in a lifetime breed. We miss you Nippy. RIP
100%
So many Black women sound like queens to me. Voice is powerful but held back and it has a tone all of its own. I looked for this quality in the voices of women of other races, but it is just not there. It sounds like silk and grace. I dont have it. Maybe i could take voice lessons. I want to.
Not later, destroyed by poison!
Whitney is not only the voice ..but she was so Beautiful ..Rip
When she sang subtle like that! you can tell why she was called THE VOICE! That tone was everything!
Abbe the best voice I've ever heard.
Only the best voices in the world don’t have to try to sound good. They don’t need to belt to prove they are good. They could sing something as simple as twinkle twinkle little star and blow us away.
I wish Whitney had written a book about her life.
I do too. So we could have heard the truth from her herself
antij1 She might've done so if she was still around.
Michael & Whitney Fan
Seriously ?
Exactly!!!!
there is one book " the anauthorise autobiograpghy of Whitney Houston 1992. check that book in AMAZON
“He walks like you do, I thought it was you”- sent chills down my spine!!!❤
Whitney, you were everything and everything was you... Incredibly missed. Rest easy.
Greatest vocalist of ALL times. I miss you, Nippy. RIP.
Whitney could make any song her own so effortlessly and beautifully. A true gem!! RIP WH ❤️
I don't want to see any bad pictures or videos of her, I don't want to hear any more negative things about her. We all know she had her demons, as we all do. I want to remember her as she was in her finest times and the sparkle in her eyes..
You and I both.
Well said I don’t need to see no negativeness
Precisely
Yup well said. I appreciate her more than ever now (Jun 2023).
I absolutley live this woman. True gift from God and that is not opinion that is a fact!
Whitney’s voice was so beautiful singing that song! She was such a true vocalist. I’ve never seen anyone be so comfortable singing impromptu live. And sounding amazing while doing it. I miss her so.
She was #1 after her debut Whitney Houston.
The #1 diva of all.
Wow. Every single new song that they played on the show became a hit.
The 80s were amazing.
How gifted was this beautiful woman! Miss you Whitney!
WTF THIS IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE
She rips the heart out of my chest every time she sings. She is so young here. Before the hard times. Miss her every day.
So gorgeous, so poised and that voice! I wish she had as much love for herself as the fans did. Her talent is unmatched and sorely missed.
She did have love for herself.....She knew who she was and whose she was. Anyone without sin cast the first stone.
i will never understand how someone gifted with looks, talent, charisma, and presence can just throw it all away for drugs.
whitney had that one thing many singers couldn't beat: her live performances were as good, if not better than her recorded versions.
why'd you ruin it, whitney, WHY?!
The pressure of being in the music industry and the media making stuff up.
She set the bar up higher that still no one does even dare dream of competing. She was simply the Greatest Female of all time!
It requires centuries for Ms Nature to fabricate such an amazing angel like WHITNEY!
She'll be missed and loved here for an eternity! R.I.P beautiful angel 😇! God bless
Her voice is just so beautiful!
Wow! Whitney truly sings like an angel. An undisputed legend!
Oh My Gosh!! I remember watching this episode of Friday Night Videos as a kid and being so overjoyed!! I was totally obsessed with Whitney as a child. Aww The Memories.............
you are everything and everything is you ...that was a nice little duet ...she's so geunine and warm in her earlier interviews...Fly home Free Nippy....:( your music will forever be remembered...
I love her singing and talking voice so much elegance. Lovely 😊
She sounds so good!!!
Most beautiful voice on Earth...PERIOD!!!
What a voice. What a beauty. Rare. What a tragic loss. She had it all it seemed. R.I.P💖
The reason why Paul Shaffer is so successful, and so respected, is because he is a true fan of the music and the artists. He is an incredible talent, and worthy of hanging with Whitney for kitschy little gigs like this. This is an outstanding little bit of fun memories.
he is creepy here
Creepy dude. Whitney looked beautiful & sounded exquisite 💖💖💖
R.I.P Whitney. I remember when this aired in the fall of 1986, and I watched it. I love Whitney, how I wish she remained on the same path that she was on during that time, great voice and talent, my girl !
Damn! For the better part of 15 years I've been talking about Friday Night videos here on UA-cam but nobody knew what I was talking about. I can't believe I finally found a video of it. Friday Night videos was awesome when we were kids. That's how we got our musical news
"What's your nickname?" What a sweet soul.............forever loved and missed.
Just makes me tear up..So beautiful
WOW, Whitney and New Edition on Friday Night Videos. Interesting.
Wow Whitney sounds angelic! The VOICE
Timeless beauty and ultimate voice. Gosh I miss this legend.
Whitney singing You Are Everything makes me wish she had covered more classic soul songs, even if they were just album tracks and not necessarily singles.
22 years old and already had an album debuted with many #1s.
Such a beautiful and talented young woman. It's hard to believe she's lost to us.
Whitney Houston, we must keep her legacy alive.
She was very beautiful back then
great to see this clip of a more enchanted Whitney. lovely diva.
I miss you Whitney sooo much!
:( oh so so beautiful, young and healthy.. such a flower waiting to blossom
I know Arista forced her to get these extensions....but I loooooooooooove her hair like this. A gorgeous mane around her like a lioness, she was a Leo after all. 80’s Whitney will always be MY Whitney.
Funny but true! Whitney's first album was only one year old and Paul said Whitney's greatest hits. She already had that much of hits of just one album.
Not just the hits but the impact.. Imagine Paul saying she’s his favourite singer… that’s the highest level of impact
The Voice....great interview...
This was a very enjoyable video. I greatly remembered first watching Paul Shaffer and Whitney Houston host this episode back in March 1986. It was nice to see it again.
Great memories!
but he is so nice and so respectable. I loved when he started playing and it was beautiful the way Whitney just started signing "You are everything and everything is you" she seems like she appreciated his sweetness and kindness...she deserved that....
I didn't know Kashif produced "You give good love" I love Kashif.
Whitney is so pretty here.
You are everything,
and everything is you....
I will never forget her genius in this moment when I watched it!
She behaved so adult already just being 22. Such a professional young girl. But I guess the early professionalism and career focus came at a very high price. Somewhat scary to watch now....
Thomas Farmer-I agree. I like this Whitney.
@cesar garces so true.
It's disgusting. And stupid interviews with Kimmel and such, so stupid and vulgar.
That was back when record labels made it mandatory to go through interviewing and public speaking grooming and training as ways of shaping their artist especially the younger artist
Whtiney was groomed by her Mom growing up, and once she got her record deal,, groomed by Arista and Clyde Davis; so she was going to be groomed regardless.. They still develop artists in the industry now,, the title is called A & R, artists and repertoire. There also is the option to be independent or go with boutique labels, so there are more options for distribution deals and more independence for artists today.
Beautiful Whirney had a divine gift of song. So sweet and you can see Bobbi Kris in Whitney's mannerisms. RIP Whitney and Bobbi Kris.
It is great seeing this video again. I greatly remember first watching this episode back on March 14, 1986.
Dam I’m watching this on March 14th 2020. Paul Sucks...!! Lol
beautiful here and she was like a big star way back then
She looks stunning here
✨✨Whitney , one of a kind ,,, forever !!!✨✨🌹✨😎
So sad but thanks Whitney for sharing your gift
Sad were this beautifully talented young woman ended up, so sad
In just one year, Whitney didn’t just have hits but had impact.. Imagine Paul saying she’s his favourite singer… that’s the highest level of impact
This was uploaded on my birthday...what a gift!! This video is a significantly happy childhood memory for me!!! Whitney truly was my childhood hero. Thanks so much for posting it.
Whitney here is So clear eyed and bright....
Damn she was so fine and sang like an angel!!!
I love this women
Me too
I remember watching this in '86. I thought it was a gross interview then and it took me about 30 years to come around. I do like him now. I wonder what he would think of this interview today.
I thought the same weird vibe in 2022 Paul was like a creepy uncle - how old are you body of a 23 year old - yikes except he was caught on camera - the stuff that women had to endure
Sang, sang, such a beautiful voice
This is awesome. Yea shaffer is awkwardly creepy but with all the talent he has and all the talent he's interacted with, he knows he's amongst royality. Yet Whitney is so humble and sweet, just doing what she does.
I can feel that Paul isso inlove with her, who else is not. 💙💞💚
Paul comes off instantly creepy. He must have had a huge crush on Whitney because I've never gotten that vibe from him before. Here he glows with creepiness throughout this video.
Yup, and can't finish watching this
I don’t know why white people feel as if they have the right to treat Black people any type of way…and feel like they are a privilege to us Blacks. Clearly, he was being inappropriate and even more clearly, I could sense that Whitney felt VERY UNCOMFORTABLE with a white man kissing her in the mouth! Throughout this entire video, you could see him being a pervert and very suggestive towards Whitney. Watch the way she jumps EVERYTIME she has to look at him or he moves near to her! It’s disgusting!
Ugh! Paul was already dreaming of locking Whitney in his van.
Why did she kiss him?🤮
He does seem creepy. Making me cringe lol
Miss. Houston was the bomb.
oh my god, I remember watching friday night videos as a kid, because we didn't have MTV,VH1,BET,and all the other music video stations. Shit I don't think we had cable period. LOL
✨✨btw, if you weren't there ,,, Whitney hit the scene , like a ton of bricks !!!🙏🏼✨😀#Bamm !
💖👌😍🙌✌😂👀
He’s the most awkward interviewer ever!!! Whitney was trying so hard to bring life to it hahah
This is actually a rerun from a 1986 segment with Paul Shaffer and Whitney Houston, with clips from 1988 added like the music video for New Edition's "If It Isn't Love."
missing u whitney 😍😘😍😘😍
i remember this so well...especially the singing of "you are everything"...
6:50 she was so generous to kiss him like that.. if it was me I would've died right there, with a smile larger than the universe
Was she acting or she actually gave him a French kiss ?
this is really good !! dam Paul been lucky ,what an awsome woman everything in her was beautifull !! singing with so mush soul !!! loved her...
I think Paul's sexual comments were inappropriate and disrespectful.
Exactly! Full on predator-like!
Yup
Thank you for sharing. #WEH4Life 🕊💐🙏🏽
How amazing to see this graphic again! I used to record the show every Friday on VHS, go out to the club and watch it when I got home. Good times!
Great episode too!
Did you save any episodes on those VHS tapes?
He was so starstruck.
To Whitney it seems all through your life you wondered were you good enough....from your fans of today on many post We always did think you were better than good enough...you had nothing to prove you did your thing...
RIP WHITNEY E. HOUSTON...your legacy still continues..
😍This is such a sweet and fun interview❣ The interaction between the 2 of them is so good. As always Whitney looked very beautiful and enchanting, but also super adorable.
Whitney's smile always brightens up the darkest times and is so heart warming.🥰 5:42 The most beautiful and soul soothing sound often came out of Whitney's mouth❣

Nigga said YOLO!!🤣🤣🤣

@6:51 Paul was so happy about that kiss.
Such grace, talent and beauty. Men just lost their minds around her and act creepy lol. Rip Nippy!! Singer are not designed like you anymore. You were such a blessing to humility.
That kiss he got tho😆😆😆😆
It's so adorable when Paul and Whitney sing together. Reminds me of the dichotomy of Sonny and Cher...you cringe at his voice, but then you just wanna say "awww..." ;)
He does not creep me out one bit! I love him! And he is the only reason I am watching this interview! I would be very appreciative to be in an interview with him.

I get weird vibes from paul .. Lol
Me too....something off about him.
DaOrigTruthSeeker Riiiiight. Just weird.. As young as she was here, I wouldn't be surprised if he hunted for younger ones..
ajbreezy11 Shut up you fools.
dublinvids lol. You mad bruh?
