2. Whitney Houston - Eternal Love (Live in San Francisco, 1986)

Whitney Houston performs in San Francisco, California 1986 (Greatest Love Tour)
Listen to a young Whitney Houston performing for a sold-out crowd in San Francisco, California. Houston is at her vocal best here, tackling fast-paced songs such as Michael Jackson's I Wanna Be Starting Somethin and ballads such as You Give Good Love with equal finesse. One definite highlight of the concert is Houston's riveting performance of the Dreamgirls song, I Am Changing, which the singer stretches out to ten minutes of pure goose bump-inducing singing. Watch out also for her lovely rendition of Happy Birthday which she dedicated to her father, as well as for one of her first performances of the worldwide hit, I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me).

Her speaking was just as beautiful as her singing ..

[@Nicole-kx9vg]

I agree.

[@edmundsookermany8733]

Almost.... And as she grew older it get smoother more beautiful

[@renatonogueira6505]

[@peterb6233]

"Somethins wrong" and i get chills 🙌😭

[@michaelmottlau5941]

The same for me, it’s absolutely an epic song, and her voice is out of this world powerful and sensitive at the same time.

[@stormingsun1]

Wow just beautiful...this is part of the reason why Whitney was labeled the "voice"...her vocal technique is just amazing!!! singing at its best !!!

[@Fuzziefeelings]

This should have been on her debut. With a video. Its nr written all over it. It's so sad. Makes me all weepy.

[@klion3924]

This song is so beautiful. I think Stephanie Mills also sung it. Whitney sounds like a pure angel!

[@nyman1228]

God given talent.

[@jamstrings100]

So brilliant. Screw Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and all that rubbish. Real class here.

[@thekaliko]

she's in excellent voice here!

[@62chucky]

this is RARE and awesome!. Im still have the album and remember it well. She is REALLY singing this one...far better than her younger interpretation.(what happened to the end? had to cut off huh, damn)

[@BiDiO]

C Flow the end is... the intro of Give Good Love! 😉 search it!

[@maeb.9770]

This is what happens when you bootlegged a song SMH

[@edmundsookermany8733]

This is 86 very young can hear it in her voice

[@jayashermusic1]

I would like to point out that although she doesn't mention me, I co-wrote the song with Paul Jabara.

[@JESUSLOVESYOU219]

Jay Asher That’s so cool!!!

[@odumosuolusegun2781]

@artistNexile But Stephanie Mills could not produce this level of profeciency Live unfortunately...

[@odumosuolusegun2781]

@artistNexile I am very very connected to Stephanie Mills and as i said her version is excellent. I prefer voices with more core and depth in them, she can sound witchlike and coreless atimes to me.. The same reason why you say "Whitney had a voice people would want to listen" is the same reason I like it.. Depth, core, chest..and to me that is the technicality that i crave for.. I also do not agree she had a more technical voice. The vibrato in her version is very uneven and her held notes are tense...still excellent though. I also feel like her timbre lacks a bit of depth and sounds girlish People always talk about background, both of them grew up in the baptist church and sang there. Stephanie went on to do theatre and Whitney went on to do session work..Her version was recorded in 1979 before Stephanie's version, Whitney was only 16 And i prefer Whitneys version.. Clearer tone Which to me already screams technicallity. Clarity is one of the hallmarks of a well balanced voice and core.. About Live profeciency. No one can sing Home like Stephanie. I know of her live work, but this particular song, I doubt she ever sang it Live.. Whitney in this version and the three other Live versions of it, matches the album track and exceeds it in some places..

Siempre emoción....cuando te escucho.....que voz Dios mío

[@neklamp2431]

If you use headphones you can hear those annoying people talking... One of them is talking from the beginning till the end of the song! Stop so we can hear her clearly!

[@JHC_76]

Yeah bloody annoying. Why couldn’t they just shut up ! If that was me having the experience live of Whitney, I would of been speechless

[@harrymorris5319]

[@maeb.9770]

No I do not like this version either. I've listened to all her version and again I state I love Stephanie Mills version the best. Why didn't she mention Stephanie Mills where she got it from? Anywho Whitney Houston I love all her songs.💖 💕Whitney ➿ Bobbi💕 🌹May they rest in peace🌹

[@jayyochameleon]

Mae B. Stephanie’s album came out in ‘83 with this song. Whitney recorded it in ‘79. Where she got it from?😂 ok

[@marih_2017]

@@jayyochameleon yesss read !🎶😊

[@TheGamersGuide819]

Mae B. Stephanie’s voice is so thick boy!! Whitney’s is light and bright

[@odumosuolusegun2781]

You are an illiterate fool. Whitney recorded this song before Stephanie Mills. Get some education. nothing wrong with preferring Stephanie.. But you can go to her page and adore her version. It is insecure of you to come here and show your complete illiteracy.

[@IndigoEnchantress]

Never heard of her

[@JusLiveMylyfe]

There many better singers then her, but she just connected to you! That's why people love her...

[@senju451]

+JusLiveMylyfe Like who?

[@JusLiveMylyfe]

Too many to name, i'm not delusional to that fact either,

[@kyrisimmons9210]

hmmm many better singers who will never have the belting voice she has, other singers who can only imitate her songs, other singers whose voice will never move, and be as crystal clear, and loud and ringing as hers, as strong as hers, take several seats then take several more

[@joelprice6028]

+Kyri Simmons Thank you. Haters gonna hate
