Something about the fact that you can see Whitney's black silhouette in the background of the stage while she sings "I feel like an angel" just touches and breaks my heart at the same time because she's longer here anymore. She is an angel, and metaphorically it makes me feel like she'll always be singing in the background of our hearts.

[@kw9568]

Wow!!! How did the doctor get it so wrong?

[@maryjones8770]

@@kw9568 I woke up bleeding and my doctor ran a test and said if the numbers(?) dropped, it meant I miscarried. Well, she called me at work and told me the bad news. 2 weeks had passed before she would see me. I thought I had a dead child inside me for 2 weeks! She did an internal ultrasound and my boy's heart was pulsing and his little arms were moving. She said she didn't understand, the test was accurate. I didn't know if my husband was going to hug her or strangle her. Definitely some mixed emotions. I later read that the hormone she tested is supposed to reduce around that time of any pregnancy (I was 11 weeks). So.....her license should be yanked! My husband wanted to sue but I was afraid the stress would have been too much, I wasn't losing my boy again. He is now 20 and has autism and is the absolute light of my life! This song was dedicated to me the day I was told about the miscarriage, I still tear up when I hear it. Bittersweet. God blessed me with this beautiful child and I will always cherish him. Love and prayers to you, be blessed.🙏

[@Dutchmusicfan1992]

This performance is so perfect for showing how incredibly massive and powerful Whitney's voice was. Whitney was far from her best here but if you compare Whitney to Mary when they sing, you can hear Whitney's power. Not meant as a bad thing towards Mary of course, she is a wonderful singer, her voice is beautiful.

[@greedokenobi3855]

Dutchmusicfan1992 I think they were both amazing and I think Mary got even better when Whitney arrived, true chemistry that took place. I have to say Mary gave me goosebumps once she and Whitney went toe to toe.

Dutchmusicfan1992 I just bought the divas live 2002 on iTunes and I’m pissed because they left out a lot of footage. Mary’s performances and a lot more. I looked it up right after because I knew Mary J Blige was part of the concert and so was Cindi Lauper singing with Cher. It’s crazy. Do you have the whole version (the TVrip)? How’s you get this one?

exactly and her technique is still fairly solid, especially compared to Mary. the failed call-and-response at 3:33.... I...

[@MrMharris1990]

Dutchmusicfan1992 I agree and noticed this too. Whitney’s not at her best here as you said but you can hear her power even in this vocal state in 2002. Damn what a voice!!! Can you imagine if she maintained at least her early 90s voice till now? Just wow.
