Who's listening to this in 2024 and it's almost in tears? 😢RIP Queen Whitney

[@Kevin-xs4cd]

The sax and piano players here are creating an absolute MOOD here!

[@JustIn-xm1vp]

Most everyone talks about her voice, but the way she sings and uses her voice, her technical ability is top notch. Whitney expresses lyric through melody like no other. This has to be one of the most powerful, generous, nuanced and beautifully expressive, moving, surreal performances given by an artist in ANY genre. I couldn't imagine Donny Hathaway not being proud to have his song sung to this standard.

[@MasterSuperBlaster]

Agreed but I truly believe this 1986 London performance I have on my channel (the only upload I have, so it will be easy to locate) is the greatest live vocal performance (from a contemporary singer) ever captured on audio. In this 13 min rendition of 'I AM CHANGING' (originally sung by Jennifer Holliday) she unleashes the full weight of her powers, like a 300 foot tall, 3-headed 🔥 breathing dragon🐉🐲 incinerating everything and everyone in it's path. She takes her time in the first few minutes just to lure you in- then she takes off like a scud missile launch. It is truly breathtaking, wonderfully exhausting and I cannot imagine a universe in which this performance can be matched by any other vocalist. Just be sure to wear headphones and let NOTHING distract you for 13 mins. It's an experience that demands your full attention. The lyrics are in the description. I'd love to know your reaction. Feel free to comment either here or on the video itself on my channel Cheers 🤗

Robyn she loved you in a space that many will miss understand!

[@donovanrobinson1843]

She was such a fearless singer. She was able to lose herself in the song and not worry about whether it was too much or too little she just sang and gave it to us how ever she felt it. Her diction, phrasing, and ability was second to none. The GREATEST SINGER EVER. And funny she admired all the greats Aretha, Barbara, Dionne, Chaka and so on…

[@JBeliles]

So true.

[@JBeliles]

I watch a lot of the "coaches reacts" videos and one put it well. Whitney sings for the song. Not just to show her chops

[@yumyummarbles]

I mean to give her heritage credit, she was born into the perfect family to start her career. To sing with emotions like this you need first compassion. Which is so rare nowadays with the cockiness of society in which we have all succumbed to.

[@willfeen]

@@yumyummarblesyou are so right. Compassion is an underrated virtue.

[@omelda]

You know what is also special and unique about her..... NO one can do justice to her songs ....but she sings everybody songs better than they ever will! She was one of the few if not the only one who could.
