Whitney Houston - On The Far Side Of The Hill (with Liesbeth List) - The Greatest Love Of All - 1985

[@paulthomas281]

@Daria Tregan Absolutely. Although Celine Dion is my favourite in terms of her music, Whitney Houston was the greatest in that Whitney's 1980s voice is the greatest voice of all time.

I still remember this performance on Dutch television. I was a boy, almost 20 years old, and this impressed me SO MUCH! Liesbeth List was a well-known artist since she sang with Ramses Shaffy (also very popular in our country) but during this song she was completely blown away by Whitney's beautiful sound. What was happening... I was totally stunned. Also credits for Louis van Dijk. Truly one of the best pianists we've ever had. Unfortunately, all three passed away.

[@cjmusic8587]

This is the first time I saw this & she seemed pretty fresh, proud to talk about her family & predigree for singing

[@baulbeerpersaud7241]

This performance captures very well why she is famously known as the " voice!". She demonstrated so convincingly what Narada Michael Walden ( one of the world's top 10 producers of all time) discovered very early in his collaborations with Whitney - the tremendous, multi-octave range, raw power and self- confidence she was divinely blessed with! Her runs, transitions from head to chest voice, melisma, vibrato and control are simply magical. She was epitomized perfection when it came to singing. Performances like this convinces me that she is the most talented and gifted singer of all time, as it was impromptu, but she nevertheless delivered effortlessly and with typical Whitney Houston graciousness!! Her unparalled legacy is that she has provided the blue print for singing, which she has taken to new and almost impossible levels. She is a hard act for other singers to follow, because of this. Her vocals in this performance were simply angelic and divine, in my opinion. Love and respect you Whitney and will always do! Baulbeer Persaud

Every time I watch this video I come close to tears, not only because she demonstrated such vocal dexterity, but more than that, she is such a loving, genuine and humble human being. That charismatic smile gets to me, as it is so happy. I also admire her command of the English language, as she spoke so fluently in that God given tone. Another admirable quality she demonstrated is how lovingly and respectfully she spoke of her beloved Mom, brothers and her world famous Cousin, Dionne Warwick. This legend not only has the best voice in the business, but was blessed with so many other enviable qualities, that I have to say she simply had the total package full stop. Fk n

princepeterwolf you’re right. She worked her butt off to be where she was in this video and up. Just listening, you can hear how trained her ear is, managing to stay perfectly on pitch. People forget that she’s a human, and she wasn’t perfect. Anyone subjected to that amount of pressure is easily susceptible to turning to drugs to cope with the idea of being an international icon. She was/is a legend, and will always live in our hearts forever.

She is the quintessential example of this rare gift. Again, perfect performance! There is a reason why she is Whitney Houston!!

Two outstanding qualities that are often overlooked when discussing this legendary singer are her exceptional eloquence and her stunningly natural beauty!! These qualities are on display in this performance for all to see. The main reason for these qualities being taken for granted is the focus on her God given pipes ( vocals). I absolutely love this video, as it captures this incredible singer in her absolute prime , with her divine talent on show, characterized by tremendous, never before heard raw power, an incredible multi- octave range, immaculate and masterful control and amazing self- confidence which in my opinion, emanated from her known spirituality. She knew she was divinely appointed to spread love and happiness to mortal human beings through her God given talent!!

This was recorded in the Netherlands back in 1985, where Whitney was introduced by the legendary Dutch singer Liesbeth List and accompanied on piano by the also legendary jazz pianist Louis van Dijk. Whitney had her first hit ever in the Netherlands with All At Once in 1985. So she impacted and inspired a lot of Dutch people, including a little girl called Glenda Batta, who later performed and won the first ever vocal talent show on TV in the world in 1994 with Whitney's One Moment In Time, starting her long singing career as Glennis Grace (recently on America's Got Talent). Whitney was Glennis' idol and her biggest fan. Last weekend she did 2 sold out Whitney Houston tributes and finally is starting on her international career.

What creative genius, the way this Queen of the diva just read the script and seamlessly blended into the song "on the far side of the hill". Her rare ability to instantly interpret the melody of a song and effortlessly wrap the lyrics around it, and her versatility generally, has been highlighted repeatedly by Narada Michael Walden( one of the world' s top ten music producers of call time) in his book on their collaborations. Wow, what soaring and impeccable vocals, with her multiple vocal range on demonstration. It is amazing how she goes from chest to head voice so effortlessly and then on several occasions throughout the song, packs a series of notes into single syllables. I submit, as has been confirmed repeatedly by various elite music professionals, very few if any, possessed these rare qualities, and none mastered them the way she did full stop!!

What more can one say about this Queen of the Divas - I not only get goose bumps every single time I see Whitney's images in these videos or hear her voice, but am lost for words to accurately describe this mystifying, hair-raising and never to be replicated gold standard of a voice. When one add to her amazing, God given instrument, her stunning beauty, poise, grace, humility, sincerity, emotive ability, special lyrical phrasing, strategic melisma, clarity of diction, carefully placed vibrato, smooth transitions between head and chest voice, strategically placed runs and riffs and trend- setting fashions, among other special qualities, then we are simply talking about not only the greatest singer that ever lived and will ever live, the " total package!". Put simply, not only will she always be an impossible act to follow as a vocalist, but others should not try to emulate her. Indeed, as one British Journalist once posited, her music should not be copied or duplicated, but preserved like a prized work of art !! Whitney has always challenged music writers to find the appropriate words to describe her music, as it is that special! Indeed, they (music writers) more often than not struggle to accurately analyse her music, because it defies description, believe it or not!! Whitney, I will always love and treasure your amazing vocals, and celebrate you as one of the most beautiful, sincere, humble and above all, loving human beings to ever inhabit planet earth to the inhabitants of which, you gave your all and your more to receive your less, in terms of appreciation from some ungrateful human beings. But, you rest in eternal peace my loving sister, as your fans love you eternally, and will always love, cherish and remember you!!!

Man this is the very beginning she sounded so young but refined and soulful all at the same time and the tone is nostalgic for 80s Whitney, light and free.

Die anyone notice that she changed the last word from “find your strength in love” to “find your strength in lord”, she was just so sweet, Rest In Peace, Nippy ❤️

love you Whitney

If this voice had sung I will always love you!!! The Music Industry would have crushed

Everything has to have it's season I guess.

[@kijihigh6826]

Everyone says that she was destroyed by the industry. So sad... A precious gift that not even the industry could recognize and protect. Whitney said it was all about money and nothing else. She had no protection. Drugs were her only way out. She lost control and could not recover. So sad!

She also greatly suffered because of homophobia.

@@gavinmccune93 lol no she was only bi

[@gavinmccune93]

@@diorrboyyyy at that time in general, people suffered from homophobia and biphobia for the same reasons. I know she was bi.

The G.O.A.T. for LIFE!!!

[@worldweary7531]

Thank you for this! Have seen other videos of Whitney and Liesbeth interview. However, none of them show Whitney singing 'Greatest Love'. I think this is one of her best renditions!

surely 5:57 has got to be one of her most insane belts
