Whitney was at home and in her element when she was around church music

[@WH012Vids]

It’s really a wonder how Whitney becomes apart of a performance that she wasn’t even in lol. She had an amazing presence.

[@jermainethomas1570]

Because she's Whitney Houston

[@sheenapmoffett3919]

Whitney was wild

[@Sixteen89]

she's the girl

[@joshlmccall6294]

Whitney Houston was the it factor!!! If there’s some one that don’t know what the it factor means look it up! lol..😍✌🏽😎

[@Sixteen89]

who else came here bcus he saw Whitney

[@thevoicewhitney]

Yeeesss

[@MyKevin36]

Me

[@malcolmbrown-herrera7497]

Listen you ain't never lied

[@lamontjohnson8997]

Man I don’t care what nobody says. That Whitney loved her some God. She was never ashamed of him. And when in his presence. She celebrated

[@sarahb6163]

That doesn't even look like her in the thumbnail why isn't anyone addressing how weird this is

[@dalejesarlabrador6265]

We can all agree that Whitney loves God and good singing

[@wandilelethokuhle7860]

💯💯🥺🤍

[@terryallen7853]

Amen to that

[@MrDaRiAn21]

[@kinkypro7827]

Amen 😂❤ my nippy

[@OPedroVilaNova]

Shirley Caesar is one LIVING LEGEND! She is the Queen of Gospel Music and Whitney honoring.. so beautiful!

[@Priscilla-pb6lp]

Can't no music touch GOSPEL MUSIC !

[@RD-lx1gy]

Whitney Houston was the biggest star we ever had. Her presence was so much to us and she was so beautiful

[@mr.e347]

Grammys need more of Shirley and The Bible and The Lord! Bravo!

[@iniakalitoni3405]

Whitney Houston just have that presence that even though she's not performing or anything the spotlight is always on her. To see what move she would make and all that, that's how you know she's a legend

[@JT-pb3fx]

11:17 That face Whitney was making while clapping is so priceless 💯🙌🙌

[@thetruthsideswiththeoppressed]

Right!!!! I cannot stop watching her response and laughing so HARD!!!

[@401wcollman]

I've seen that face with Celine Dion on divas 1998 with Aretha Franklin. I don't know why that came to mind. But I loved it too.

[@kamariatoure42]

She was in church ,baby lol

[@simonwebster368]

@@401wcollman Yes, you're exactly right 401wcollman, that's exactly where I'd seen that facial expression before - and I've watched that Celine/Aretha performance so many times. I know precisely what you mean and when.

[@sarahb6163]

Doesn't even look like her, looks like ai stunt double weird stuff going on

[@ahall503]

Growing up in church singing I can totally relate to this. NIPPY was having CHURCH ALL by herself! That's just one of the things I loved about her... She may have strayed like we do... but she ALWAYS gave it her ALL to represent GOD in a business that is all about everything else. It was a sincere praise she gave unto Him & took the good news of the Gospel all over the GLOBE unapologetically. Can we get an AMEN for that?

[@nanitadaughtry8501]

Amen😊😊

[@terryallen7853]

AMEN

Baby, Whitney was havin CHURCH! ❤

[@lamontjohnson8997]

Yes she was all the way in her zone. That lady loved the lord

[@glendalockhart8131]

Whitney will always be priceless. She became the star of performances she was not apart of. When Ms. Shirley found her Stone, Whitney’s walk and her smile was everything. She looked so much like her Mother. RIH Whitney

[@dalejesarlabrador6265]

It somehow ends up like a gospel tribute to Whitney. Her reactions was contagious

[@dennisdean7433]

Whitney Houston no matter what her problems are/we're with drugs,she know the Lord and don't mind shouting his praises before man. She love the Lord,and let's not forget...Even through she wasn't on stage,when she is and sing gospel....Like she said"You better get ready because she'll sing you out of your shoes praising the Lord"!

[@sarahb6163]

Drugs and bob were her demons

[@JudahCub1981]

Yolanda Adams is so inspiring. ❤❤❤❤

[@sarahb6163]

And someone had the nerve to judge what she's wearing 🤦🏿‍♀️ that just proves how 3vil and materialistic they are

[@abdotamtam7492]

Wow, Shirley blew up the stage, God bless her.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@krecie2019]

Auntie nip knew what time it was❤️

[@terryallen7853]

Whitney was just having her way a Holy Ghost good time. Praise Him.

[@JustBeYouTy]

I miss Whitney 😞

[@koapakakaluhiokalani4507]

Me tooo every daytyyyyy

[@sheenapmoffett3919]

Momma Shirley brings the Holy Spirit yes she's a blessing anointing

[@toni4916]

I really think that at heart Whitney was a gospel singer who sung pop. And Shirley tore it down. You know you got that annointing when you growling like she does. I noticed almost all of the great gospel singers growl.

[@MarkikaHarris]

I enjoyed that Whitney went to church in the audience!! Every church kid can relate all the way to the "come on shout and head shake" at 11:01 and the serious hand clap at 11:17

[@TKyer1212]

Get Whitney can't nobody say you don't know God R.I.P.

[@verahall6498]

This performance ( actualy the entire program) was truly epic, perfect performances personified. Let's hold onto those magical musical masterful bygone days because we will never witness them again because the shows today aren't like they used to be. I actually stopped watching awards shows because without a Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Prince top notch standing ovation performance it just doesn't feel the same to me. Not trying to knock the singers of today or the shows ( and kudos to them all honestly no disrespect) but nope I just can't get with it like I used to so give me my bygone award days anytime, so yeah I am forever eternally grateful for those days gone by masterpiece awards shows. DO YOUR THING WHITNEY AND SHIRLEY , HALLELUJAH AND AAAAAAMEN✝️🙏❤️❤️👏🏽

[@TheSafeSpace2]

It’s Whitney for me!!!

[@titaalvarado5110]

PRAISE GOD !! 🙌🙌 🙌 🙌 THAT WAS WAS INCREDIBLE 🙌 GOD IS GOOD 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

If this concert celebrates the name of Isus and sings to glorify Christian religion, then why one of the singers shows a devil sign with his fingers like everyone who sells their soul to the devil in amerikan music industry?
