WHITNEY HOUSTON 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' LIVE Wembley Stadium 1988

Whitney performs live at London's Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, June 11th 1988. She was the headline act at the "ARTISTS AGAINST APARTHEID" concert held to celebrate NELSON MANDELA's 70th Birthday.

Best voice ever. Honestly...the drug thing is moot at this point. Many many do drugs. She admitted to it. It cost her her life. But in history...that lady sang it all like no other. The voice of my lifetime.

[@Vegheadsrock]

Only a handful on the planet sing that well.

[@michaelmottlau2072]

Do not focus only on the drugs she took , but on the reasons why she needed to take the drugs to relaxe and "escape" her own reality and inner emotions. You have to look further than her perfect appearance and charm. Everybody should take a look into their own more or less irrational and destructive behavior, admitting that it's not always easy to break a negative or self destructive behavior - especially not if you're a sensitive and emotional and easy going person who loves freedom and harmony, but often lived a different stressful and very demanding life often being criticized by the press for many reasons - she demanded so much of herself to help and support so many people in her family. A lot of pressure and responsibility. It looked so easy in her prime years, but she had her bad and sad moments - perhaps she wanted the attention, but I'm convinced she never really wanted or liked to the celebrity life in a cocoon not been able to walk alone on the streets by herself.

[@Vegheadsrock]

michael mottlau She took the drugs because she was in Hollywood and that is what celebrities in Hollywood do.

[@dianechavez3394]

+joan Jones I was told she was into drugs way before she became famous? But who cares? She was so special!

[@JustTheLonelyTalk]

Diane Chavez Whitney smoking weed in her teens isn't a major event like people try to make it. People hype up Whitney's early love of weed as being something abnormal. Whitney didn't start using cocaine until she was already famous. Her brother who introduced cocaine to Whitney said that.

[@pepsimax2006]

I'd do anything to jump into a time machine and experience Whitney at her peak!

[@dennybish67]

William Love Sorry but your Dad is full of it. The live vocals on this performance are impeccable.

[@ajhosak]

The beauty of her live performances was that no 2 were exactly alike. She would phrase and riff differently every time. That's impossible to autotune and lip sync. She was one of the best of a generation.

[@kylesummers2462]

AJ Hosak best of all time not just a generation. She could sing circles around men and women from basically any generation.

[@marquishalsell]

This generation doesn't know true music today at all fr fr

those who booed her doesnt deserved to be in the crowd,,

[@neklamp2431]

they were booing her in the beginning?????? Were they nuts??????

[@Rhythm973]

They booed because she left the stage but it was to change her coat

[@JazzieRose]

Her voice was clear, and pure. She was truly a vocal prodigy.

[@ticklemecrazy]

NOBODY should 'BOO' Whitney .... Best singer this world will ever know

[@AnimeMovement]

Who would boo her? She's fantastic!

[@ralex3697]

Analytical Vocal coach Disagree

[@Red1Green2Blue3]

@Analytical Vocal coach Mariah is a very technical singer but she doesn't convey the same deep and true emotions in her voice as Whitney. I'd much rather listen to Whitney than mariah.

[@synthiasimms4608]

It had nothing to do with her voice!They were booing bc Whitney briefly left the stage!Yet they shouldn't have booed her although they were missing her like crazy!

[@Swahili14]

@@Red1Green2Blue3 b'se 90% of Mariah's performances are either dubbed or lipped 💀 besides she actually couldn't consistently deliver a non fraudulent perfect live performance to save her life Whitney THE VOICE Houston is an exceptionally GIFTED VOCALIST 👑❣️

[@Ki_Hickson]

What i appreciate about Whitney especially in her prime, is how she was just herself. Beauty, style, true vocals, && all, && she kept your attention. She wasnt NAKED, she didnt sing about the CRAP we hear today, she doesnt look like any of the MESS we see today, she was just Whitney Houston. She was so great, sometimes i dnt even believe she knew what she had !! Even when she came back && got into the more up to date times, she kept it real. She didnt change b/c the industry changed. I love her

[@Meme-go9ts]

Well said!! I completely agree

[@tmz85]

Whitney, for me is the gold standard of singers. I remember thinking, how can this impossibly smooth vocal power come from such young gorgeous model Ms. Houston. She was blessed.

[@angeljohnon9251]

what she was a model?

True Talent!! It was freezing cold out there & she still sang the whole concert WITHOUT lip syncing! She is missed

[@AntheaThompson-h1h]

You may never get another one

[@koolaidj12]

wait were ppl booing. i thought she said " boo u too" and then started singing again. we have some bold ppl out here these days.

[@free2bmissa]

she's in perfect pitch AND you can tell it's freezing and windy which is worst weather to perform in when you're a singer! Most singers would sound awful in that weather, but then again they are not WHITNEY! ( no last name required) When you're on that level you recognize that person on 1st name basis

[@Swahili14]

OMG she had so much class even when fans were enraged due to her short term absence She still managed to contain herself and ease the mob by singing hell out a song 😂❤️

[@kerchy]

This whole concert was FLAWLESS. So cute, that after she changed, telling the crowd, "I have a tour to do." She was so STUNNING here. RIP Nippy.....

[@marycarpenter9104]

😂She was the.best

[@misterashley]

She's looking so pretty here!

[@lila1471]

You don't lose your voice, it just becomes weaker. Its a natural process through years of strain. From what whitney did and through not training it just happened faster. She was still amazing.

[@wootdewoo6004]

ElleAmeliax lol it wasn’t strain . It was the cigarettes . Same thing happen to Dionne 🌚

[@willekekanis8034]

Yeah shore!! She had no voice at her end.. She destroyed it herself!

[@diorrboyyyy]

[@chefblanc]

i was there that day .. she waved at us .. god bless you sweetheart ..

[@Liveoak7891]

None of the popular singers today can sing worth a damn. They are chosen for their looks alone. ugh. Whitney was blessed with it ALL, yet she was so humble.

[@williamsfan4ever]

Every time I watch old videos of Whitney Houston tears comes to my eyes. No one has matched her before, and no one has matched her since. She had the Voice no arguing no arguing no arguing. This whitney peak Whitney is the absolute best singer of all time. Don't wast time even trying to compare anyone to her. Damn She was good.

[@temptsrule]

my goodness how amazing is this woman here. breathtakingly special

Rest in Peace Whitney! Thank you for inspiring us.

[@brad11003]

Just saw Diamond White covering this song poorly on x-factor despite her amazing voice in other songs, so I thought maybe it's a difficult song to sing live. So I wanted to see if Whitney herself struggles with it live. Needless to say, I have a whole new appreciation for Whitney after hearing this performance. What an amazing voice.

She loved music so much and she shared that love with the whole world. So now the whole world misses her so much. Not only fans, but all the people who can see how incredibly talented she was.
