This is my favorite vocal era of hers. It has the right amount of thickness, a sneaky growl, and massive amounts of vibrato. And her tone this era is at its finest in my honest opinion.
She sounds great and looks fantastic. I enjoyed this performance. People talk about her lack of dancing but when you can command a crowd with your powerful vocals dancing isn't necessary just icing on the cake
@StripesI should've said people joked about her dancing. There was a MADtv skit and it's referenced when Pink is giving her a tribute. ua-cam.com/video/F8mIQW60TIw/v-deo.html
@@Ben2bwild She's not a dancer but there were jokes about her doing the same 2-step dance in her videos in the late 90s and early 00s. It was referenced in a MADtv skit when Pink was giving her a tribute. ua-cam.com/video/F8mIQW60TIw/v-deo.html
I listened to this for the first time this evening, I'm sad. I think it was auto tuned. Listen to the jump at 1:36 to 1:38. I'm guessing this was around the same time her voice started to falter because of her life choices. A few times she sounds breathless. Makes me sad.
@@markslayford these songs were just so beneath her. They don’t require the level of skill to sing which she possessed. This style of music just never really showcased her talent at all
@@markslayford hahahah.. there is no autotune. that is a jump from chest to head back to chest very fast..Very few artist had that ability, that is a connected voice..hahahahah. the illiteracy in this single thread is sad.. autotune. hahahah
I was home, whilst my husband was here at the Brits.... He rang me afterwards almost speechless at the power in this performance. Star indeed. Forget the haters, this was CLASS
God damn, this is perfect. And not one single bit of lip syncing in sight. She had a voice that could have melted the polar ice caps, and she was breathtakingly beautiful too..what a woman. In fact I'd say she had the Trifecta. She could sing like an angel, was traffic stoppingly gorgeous and she could act. Perfection
Well, she did lip that legendary National Anthem performance of hers. Not to take anything away from it, though, as she still went to her grave with my scalp.
Love mimi but let's not apply mariah carey standards to whitney's live performance, please. even towards the end, when she has lost her voice, she never lipped. so please.
Cali5556, I believe she sang along with the recording, with the Mic off. But, she sang it 100% live here; ua-cam.com/video/L3FdTKhzZWU/v-deo.html. I also believe she was lip syncing on Soul Train, The Merv Griffin Show, and certain foreign shows, due to protocol.
Pretty sure the NFL required all performers (inc. the accompanying orchestra) to mime to a prerecorded track that night, as to make sure everything was perfect for the viewers at home.
I like that her dress during this performance was the same dress that she was wearing in the songs music video. Her voice was so strong even at this point in her career. Her voice was stronger during 1999 than it was during 1997-1998. :)
Imagine having a broken heart, broken mind & broken hand in life... Then carrying on singing live the way this beautiful creation did.. Whitney Elizabeth Houston - you are amazing and I'm happy you're now settled away... 😍😍😍😍 Addiction is very cruel and you stood the test of time...
Broken hand in life? Aretha Franklin was her aunt, she was born into a successful middle class family and she was stunningly beautiful with an incredible voice. I very much doubt she would welcome your pity.
Yeah, but that transition doesn't sound like the graceful, all-powerful Whitney Houston of yore; it sounds abrupt, like she cleared her throat or something; you see Mariah Carey acting the same way now when she cant hit her trademark whistle notes anymore. Yes. I recognize that shes dancing....or "dancing"....and all, but yeah, her voice was starting to show cracks here.
I remember seeing this at the time. I was never a Whitney fan, she was someone my sisters listened to. I saw this and fell for her. Brilliant performance. Brilliant record.
NO! don't you disrespect our Queen Whitney Houston👑 by calling her hood like just, stop! She has more class then you and everybody else in this comment who's her calling her hood, THE REAL VOICE MATTERS PEOPLE PEACE&LOVE
I feel her vocals and as I listen to her sing this it definitely tells me to embrace my single life and be happy that I am single and by myself. I'd rather be alone than be unhappy. Love you Whitney, rest in peace. 👏👏👏😁💯🕊️💕
I must have been 9 or 10 when I first saw this. She absolutely smashed this performance - and it's still one of my favourite songs of hers as a result. Sad she's no longer with us but the music lives on.
I personally love her voice in every era. There was something to love with every vocal change she went through. By the end of her life, her voice was full of a emotion and displayed everything she’d been through but still had beautiful moments of brilliance. Sure her vocal range was severely decreased and was much more horse but there was emotion and a story behind it that still made it relevant
The dancers held this performance DOWN! Everything about this performance is amazing, the vocaks,the precision, the energy, the wardrobe... I'm in love.
the song is fantastic...Whitney had a stage presence ,like only the greatest have...her voice is so powerful,that it distorrted the mike sound in the end...absolutely a one of a kind
Ok, first of all, this is one of my favorite song by the Queen and love her style with the attitude it works well together on stage I miss her so much, 🖤 but her music and memories will live on forever, MATTERS PEOPLE PEACE&LOVE
Lovd this performance. Classic Whit jumping in and out of choreo qhen she feels like it...groovin the rest. Oh...and that finish?! I want to exit every room with that. Scene: " Thanks for shoppiing with us today!" ( i turn around) Badda...Bam Bam BAM!! *Fireworks and arms up in triumph!*
Of all her wonderful songs, this is my favourite. I think I like the message. If only she had been that strong person herself. I listen to her ballads playing on the car radio, and never fail to think what a beautiful voice she had. Not sure anyone since can touch her. What a bloody shame.......
THE VOICE!! 👑👑❤❤ WHEN SHE KEPT SAYIN I'M GONNA BE OK I'M GONNA BE ALRIGHT I FELT THAT!! IK SHE IS AT PEACE!!! 🙏🙏 SHE WAS TELLIN US AHEAD OF TIME!! LUV U WHITNEY FOREVER!❤❤ UNTIL WE SEE U AGAIN!
Yvette Renee I love 1:59 when she does the hip turn and says the yeah yeah yeah part. And the run at the end. She should of.done it with Michael Jackson.
Queen Whitney SLAYS as usual. Looking and sounding like a goddess 🤩 Things may have headed south for her in later years but, you can't deny, while she was on it...she really was ON IT!
Ohh I miss WH! This performance is/was great and boom the uptempo remix. Ohhhh, danced my "ass" off every night for two weeks, Holiday in Greece and Turkey! You were one of a kind, Whitney!
My Mom and I talked about this song/video when it first came out. I can clearly recall her saying she really liked Whitney's skirt. My Mother was never in a box regarding her clothing. She would've definitely rocked that skirt if she had it. Miss and Love you much, Mommy. A black leather wrap skirt didn't threaten you. Terrifies me, but that's why you're the Mother and I'm the Daughter. Rest in Peace, Lady.
She was a great singer and she will be missed by many fans who loved her music and their won't ever be another one like her again. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
I am shook! The title popped into my head and just watched this. I'm feeling like this was her zenith moment, in terms of performance. She's astounding. .("the highest point reached in the heavens by a celestial body") I'm asking you, big fans of hers, was this her most fabulous performance?
My Dear Friend I have never seen a comment like yours..but you have nailed it to the “ Cross “..bang on point.trust me..” Whitney was herself a complete PLANET.”..YES YES YES.
That short bob was SO bossy. Nippy worked that look
And all the female dancers with the bob wigs!
Body of a supermodel, Voice of an Angel. Who could do it better than our Nippy!?
Face of a beauty
Her face was a 10/10
NOBODY!!!
Analytical Vocal coach was*
Nobody, she's from another world
This is my favorite vocal era of hers. It has the right amount of thickness, a sneaky growl, and massive amounts of vibrato. And her tone this era is at its finest in my honest opinion.
I approve of this message! Lol. Ikr! This is my favorite era from her as well.
Me is IYBT
I 100000000000% agree YES. This is also just overall my favorite era of hers.
I call it her grown era you right it's her best, felt like she was finally doing the kinda music wanted to
@@DaydreamingTrack yes!! She definitely sounded grown and sexy during this era.
She sounds great and looks fantastic. I enjoyed this performance. People talk about her lack of dancing but when you can command a crowd with your powerful vocals dancing isn't necessary just icing on the cake
I'd say it's unnecessary.
Whitney. One of the greatest voices ever. Inspired generations of singers.
Why on earth would she needed to dance?? 😂😂😂😂
Never heard anyone complain about her lack of dancing lol. She's not a dancer 😂😂

@@Ben2bwild If you grew up in the 80's, she used to be made fun off for not being able to dance.
her voice was so incredible in this performance. so rich. thick and had full complete control
its because it was feb 1999... her first performance of this song, so her voice wasnt as tired as later performances

Cause that's how she found out bobby was cheating fr!
🧾
the hip bounce shuffle 1:59 always makes me smile
MrMulrine83 only Whitney can do that. Shes like Michael Jackson.
Iconic
Nbs
She looks stunning in that dress and haircut
Pandu Miharja so sensual visually & aurally
she even makes breaking up with someone entertaining.
Long live THE QUEEN
😂😩😂😂right
Separation is one of the most exploited themes in literature, music, movies and art
Ikr lol
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Exactly
I was home, whilst my husband was here at the Brits.... He rang me afterwards almost speechless at the power in this performance. Star indeed. Forget the haters, this was CLASS

"Turns out, you were making a fool of me" is the part that did it for me!

Corey Rusko, Rickey Minor, her band director, said that he convinced Whitney to use a recording, because of the crowd noise.
She did that!!!
Yes, she did!
HELL YES
Audience screaming throughout the whole performance...that's how great she is
3:37 that ending ALWAYS gives me chills she slayed that
Yeeesss
Ikr
Truly the best voice to ever step before a microphone. Whitney Houston's talent was unparalleled. SHE WAS AN AMAZING VOCALIST!
I like that her dress during this performance was the same dress that she was wearing in the songs music video. Her voice was so strong even at this point in her career. Her voice was stronger during 1999 than it was during 1997-1998. :)
I loved when artists did that. It brought their video into real life if that makes sense
Imagine having a broken heart, broken mind & broken hand in life... Then carrying on singing live the way this beautiful creation did..

Is it just me or is her voice overpowering that mic? Wow she Was Is and Always will be incredible!!
Taryn Chanoch just the shitty video quality
this was around the time her voice started to crack, but she still had the power that made her The voice, fucking amazing!!!
How this woman controls a crowd....amazing
She looks so fierce! Get it Whitney!
Queen of chest and head voice transitions!! Those r not easy!!! Especially at 1:36!!

@@kadejito1 Nobody cares. It sounded good,and it was enjoyable.
She and Rance Allen killed those
That's a technique which to is fast forward. It seems easy but super tough.
Even during he vocal decline, she is still better than everybody else!
How’s 1999 her vocal decline? 🤣 she still sounded great in 2009. I would say her vocal decline started in 2011
@@Travelsandmore333 You have to live in reality to understand.
@@jeremiahtray5621 nah that’s u
@@Travelsandmore333 it was way before that she just learnt to sing her songs in a lower key
Haha
3:10 I like the ending when she chants "I'm going to be alright, I'm going to be ok" 💙 I needed to affirm that
She will always and forever be THE QUEEN
That mic 🎤 couldn’t handle ALL that power voice !!!
Love you Whitney 💕🖤💕
I remember seeing this at the time. I was never a Whitney fan, she was someone my sisters listened to. I saw this and fell for her. Brilliant performance. Brilliant record.
Whitney commands the stage I just cant believe the things that she is able to do with her voice. She was and is unique!!!!
