Whitney Houston - Million Dollar Bill Live On The X Factor + Intro + Judges Comments + Interview

Whitney Houston Sings her latest single "Million Dollar Bill" from her new album "I Look To You" Live On The X Factor UK.

[@Michelle-do1ui]

Even on her worst day she’s better than most of the singers around today 👏🏾👏🏾 miss u queen

[@thelmal.hopkins5351]

U got that right. Some of these singers need to sit down somewhere

[@DieszelD-hamilton.]

She makes me feel like a million dollar bill

[@roter13]

When I first head this performance, I thought it sucked but now, not so much.

[@olivergonzalezcorrea857]

You can say what you want but her voice in this performance was INCREDIBLE and she even sang better than many other actual artists... It's very very sad that she's gone :(

[@nemospence2724]

Yeah. I always enjoyed this performance. So fun to watch.

[@AdamLeeGuitarist]

I will always remember that night. I turned up the TV so loud. I was elated that Whitney was coming back to music after 10 years. Yes, she's not on top form. But good God: that voice! It flows out of her. Even her trademark melismas are effortless. And the room felt her presence. This was no ordinary musician. Whitney is, and always will be, that much more special. Rest in peace, sweetheart. We will always love you, Nippy!

[@reynaldoaltamirano8334]

Totally. The performance was Pretty Good, not her Best, But So energetic

[@carmelfenton9343]

Whitney houston was taking drugs

[@tom-vo7ww]

@@carmelfenton9343 she was probs on a lot of medication tbh.. i dont think she'd been rehearsing for this, when you compare it to the italy version but i prefer the energy of this.

[@Bronzinium]

@@tom-vo7ww So what? Meds are still drugs and she was very rough here. I don't know what that idi0tic OP is talking about. She was very substandard here compared to what she really could do in the past. Her best days were long gone by the time of this so-called performance.

[@bethanyleigh9691]

I know people say this was an " infamous " performance but I'd still give my left arm to see her perform she is an absolute legend 😍

[@Renee302976]

Whitney was so down to earth during this performance. Even with the wardrobe “malfunction” she still maintained her cool. Such a classy lady. RIH Whitney and Krissi ❤️💖

[@1ddedde]

The reason her live performances are so legendary isn’t only the Voice (even on it’s not so great days) - it was her ENERGY, PRESENCE & DELIVERY! 💜🎤👑 #SheLives

[@RebeccaKowalskyPhoto]

EXACTLY

[@TheRealEli717]

Whitney was not on drugs here. Did you all know she took pills before performances to deal with anxiety. She would experience anxiety attacks when she went on stage...that was one of the medications she had been using for years. We look at these celebrities as some type of gods but they are just like you and me. Whitney was very beautiful but she was so insecure. Which I'm sure Bobby's cheating on her with younger women and hitting her etc. Played a part in that. This woman had such incredible strength to stand on stage and be judged by us! She gave us 20 plus years of great music and live performances...she was the best. No matter what she did in her personal life...she was the best voice we will ever hear!

[@lawrence1957]

Pills are drugs.

[@longbranch11207]

[@marvelousjoe5819]

thank you for giving these people some much needed education. I agreed every single thing you said. She is simply the best. RIP Nippy. No one will ever come close to her talent.

[@its_me_lah288]

Those people dont know what it feels like to suffer from anxiety..i have anxiety disorder..n it sucks..

[@TheVacuumer]

Agreed

[@MikeyReacts33]

People love to criticize but fail to realize that Whitney's voice still comprised soul and her unique vocal style that still couldnt be touched. I still feel no one could sing this song they way she did. She still always got on stage and gave you her all. I personally was proud when I saw this performance the first time because we all have seen her at her worst and this was a good performance and she looked amazing.

[@Blessed3175]

Speak on it, Mike. During her struggles, I always took it in the spirit for which it was intended. People really rode her hard as if she didn't know these things.

[@davidvack4382]

Bull crap! Stoned out of her mind

[@dreemaze]

She actually did a great job in this performance. Ya, she was out of breath, but she's just human....good grief...she blew me away in this.

[@iKETOURAGE]

I love how she's really in the moment the last few bars of the song. So sincere! I miss her!

[@itslavyyo1563]

2:28 gives me life everytime haha she shut this down

[@larrymcallister7038]

I know a lot has been said about Whitney's performance on the x factor, personally it was brilliant for me, she was and is one of the best female artists of all time! and she was soo professional by goin on even tho her dress snapped, I hope she is in Heaven and her daughter with her, love you Whitney xx

[@wahltowahl1]

Even if she’s high she handled the dress malfunction so professionally and just moved on and completely finished her performance.

[@janeknowles7654]

My words exactly how people in this world be so unkind and she was so giving she will give the clothes of her back all she wanted to do was sing not compete with other people she looked out for people I just don’t understand. Performance was of the chizzle

[@kngmidas8332]

Our girl was having fun on that stage in last few days with us!

[@henryreinhart5249]

Technically speaking, she hit almost every note right. All those runs are good. I consider this as a good performance considering the fact that she's dancing and her dress malfunctioned.

[@facediva]

exactly

[@whitneyfan9019]

Exactly! She sounds pretty close to the original song!

GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!! HIGH ENERGY and LIVE VOCALS! That woman knew how to put on a show and get the audience on their feet! She was a true entertainer. The energy in that room was incredible!

[@davidvack4382]

Its called a track to which they can add to. She did very little of that. She was stoned out of it.

[@TheRealEli717]

@@davidvack4382 um that was definitely live smh. She even stumbled on a line. Shut up. She did a great job.

[@chrissayssoo5079]

Still one of my favorite Whitney performances, although her voice wasn’t 100% it still sounded great. It’s her energy, happiness and delivery that sells this performance! Miss Whitney all the time. We will never have another one.

[@kittytown4726]

She’s still my favourite diva to this day. Such a strong woman for all the stress and anxiety she had to battle on a daily basis.

[@longbranch11207]

REMEMBER WATCHING THIS THINKING THAT WHITNEY SOUNDED A MESS AND LOOKED HIGH AND NOW I AM ONLY WISHING SHE WAS STILL HERE WITH US. THIS IS A LEARNING LESSON TO ME THAT I SHOULDN'T LOOK JUST FOR NEGATIVITY BUT THAT I SHOULD ALWAYS FINE SOMETHING POSITIVE IN EVERYTHING EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT PERFECT

[@ApolloTX1980]

The most awarded female artist of all time.

[@thelmal.hopkins5351]

Whitney Houston gave us her best, no matter what.😊

[@TheManofTomorrow2013]

I remember watching this live TV. I didn't expect her voice to be as good as it once was. That being said she put on one hell of a performance. The energy was there and she was having fun on that stage. The fact that she didn't lipsynch and sang that mic really put some respeck on her name. She gave us 20 years of hits so.....

[@doney1996]

Whitney’s voice is still there! That is crazy! She never lost it completely! The drugs and the smoking lead to her vocals being tampered.

[@callumwright2085]

The note she hits at @ 4:02 is pure magic, beautifully sung! We miss you Queen

[@thomasfy4]

It’s like we saw a glimpse of the past

[@whitneyvic]

Whitney is a trooper! Dress almost came undone but she carried on, much love!

Watching this all I actually see is a woman who is completely enjoying performing again and though her vocals may not be as on point as they once were it is undeniable this lady is THEE Diva of every generation. R.I.P Nippy

[@sywillis62]

She is so beautiful here. I love this dress! Even when Whitney may be out of voice she is the consummate work horse on the stage!! Hype woman with a voice!

[@Rogerthatx10]

Sick of the comments that she was on drugs. This was performed the same year she became sober. There were so much pressure with her comeback. I think she did a decent job for the amount of damage she did to her vocal cords. Given her relaxed demenour and smiling she could have been on some xanax or something (showed up in her toxicology) just to get her through the scrutiny. People say that MJ was under pressure for the comeback, so was Whitney.

[@JaleneLovelace]

The Barn Owl she had become sober long before this

[@davidvack4382]

She was Stoned out of her mind !

[@dangolsan2961]

When watching this, I got really sad... Miss you Whitney :(

[@alisax7099]

she look so pretty

[@baulbeerpersaud7241]

I consider this a very energetic and outstanding performance,given the fact that she had some problems with her floor length gown. Her vocals are also quite impressive. This Artist is simply in a class of her own, and contrary to what many say, her vocals and songs transcends different periods, and are the best I have ever heard(not just in the eighties). Her songs have no parallel ,when one combines her God given talent and vocals with the best song writers such as L.A. Reid and Baby Face, and an outstanding music producer such as Narada Michael Walden.

[@ScottD_]

I LOVE this performance , she sounded great , looked STUNNING! even with the dress popping she still continued dancing and singing and just looked flawless , miss her so much

I love whitney, I remember watching this and feeling kinda sad for her, she tried so hard to be the whitney everyone loves. But now I look back on it and realise, it's not half as bad as I thought back then. She's had her demons still knocking on her door, but watching this back, she did a great job all things considered....RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY x

[@Ela-eh3hm]

It hadn't gone baby

[@limteckhong2365]

SOUNDS VERY GOOD.AMAZINGLY

[@blacconnosuir]

This is, by far one of my favorite performances by Whitney. When you have a voice that was as close to perfect as you could get, it's kind of hard to listen to it in any other way. But I love this performance simply because, she got out there and gave what she had, and to see that old Whitney fire just does something for the spirit. All the other crap discussed in these comments is irrelevant.

[@MikeyReacts33]

I agree. She killed it in my opinion. She gave energy and she was in good voice, just a lil hoarse. ANd she looked amazing. I was happy to see this when it came on.

[@blacconnosuir]

Exactly!!!!!

[@tourdefacre9687]

Sorry - she was cained - couldnt breathe properly, had no range and was obviously not a patch on her former self.

[@landmarkcm]

She still commanded the stage. The Italy X factor version she did of this song is more vocally flawless.

[@choodarren9773]

It is like a concert,wow!!

[@garyography7181]

I remember watching this performance and having that terrible feeling coming over me, that we were losing another amazing artist. Although I want always a fan of Whitney, I appreciated what amazing raw talent she had as an artist. I won't comment on her lifestyle, but I will say that the performance saddened and disappointed many. But only because they expect such a superstar to blow them away with their given talent, and I doubt that she had recovered from ongoing auctions. Unfortunately this wasn't to be. Rest in mind that she is up with the greats. RIP Whitney Houston

[@garyography7181]

Addictions* not auctions...sorry

[@markjames2755]

for the people who said she was high or drunk thats just disrespectful because even at her worst she is still better than many. People expected the whitney huston from the 90s but failed t realize a lot had changed including the stella vocals but she was still able to be the best with her changed voice and never once lipsync. she went there with her battered and beaten voice and gave an amazing performance it was not the standard she set but none the less it was damn good

[@Ruby-ky1cj]

Mark James i think its more a fact that she was high here! When she was mentoring she seems pretty normal.

for everyone who critized her can you stand infront a crowed and sing. and after all she been through she never gave up on her dream and everytime she went on stage we got her 100% it maynot be of the unprecedented standards which she set. she rose the bar so high people forget that she was human

[@TheVacuumer]

[@janeknowles7654]

Yep they expect everything magical no flaws and at her age she did well not that old but she showed she set same high bars now that she is older people still expect performance as If she was 20 years

I still remember this performance like it were yesterday! I was LIVING for it! She didn’t earn the name “The Voice” for no reason, she was a pure legend in every sense of the word. There will never be another like her. ❤️

I can imagine singing like Whitney did for many years it will take a toll on the voice eventually. Smh when people say drugs killed her voice! She sounded great and looked great here! 💜

Drugs killed her. She smoked and lived a terribly unhealthy lifestyle, but her voice is absolutely fabulous here as well. Whoever dressed her deserves sacking. She is high here; in my opinion, but her voice is spectacular

[@kylebelafonte3722]

I have to say, I watched this in excitement back in the day and I thought it was awful but I was comparing, now just looking at it on its own there were strong and weaker moments, let's be honest; she outsung many (Cherly Ferrari Versace that night), she held some notes and looked like she was meant to be there and she held the stage, but then there were moments where she sounded out of breath and sore, but the strong moments held it together and I just want to hug her for holding that stage and hitting some amazing notes. This woman is so missed, I wish I could change things for her.

[@classyvxbe]

Well said! Miss her a lot.

Why are folks saying this was bad? I think it showed off her fun side… yeah she's not going to seem like she did 20 years ago, but the vocals were on point! #RIP

[@oxanamenart]

I love this woman. Her voice was damaged but she was still better on stage than other singers. No playback. Her presence is incredible. I love her entrance at the top of the stairs, you can tell she's having fun, she's beautiful as always. The dress is too long, she doesn't seem comfortable with it and her high heels. The guy at the end who kisses her ah ah what a lucky guy. Her death is a tragedy, she's really missed. 😢❤
