No, it is not a tick, she is conducting and communicating with the musicians, they follow her.

[@Ocelot2000]

No one will ever come close to her in studio or live. As for her fingers, that’s how she feels her music. And her stopping before the last transition on each note, she does that with this song every time. The one thing that she does is that in every live performance she is different. Wherever the music takes her, she does it. She is unbelievable and will never ever ever be matched! She was not chewing gum. She’s a pro. No professional singer would go out with gum in their mouth. And that is a love orchestra behind her, everything is live, no auto tuning just a master of her craft!

[@jobuck879]

Whitney is the greatest. She had it all, beauty, grace, vocal technique, vocal range, angelic head voice and stage presence that is superb. That was hair she pulled out of her mouth. She had no vocal equal. None. You really should react to one of her earlier live performances--one in particular is I Am Changing 1986 in San Francisco. It’s not an actual video but an audio. She uses every single part of her range and she literally will bring you to tears. That’s the magic of Whitney, she knew how to connect with her audience and she had incredible emotive ability. Whitney just used her instrument far greater than anyone.

[@jobuck879]

@mike maher I thank you. Whitney is queen.

[@cjblue5373]

Just like Adele, she's got all of these as well, it's just both of them enjoying what they do best, both are Queens of pop, both Artists tells storys with their songs and the words all comes from their hearts!!

[@jobuck879]

@@cjblue5373 Adele isn’t anywhere near Whitney. Adele has no stage presence, no diction, no range and no head voice. Don’t ever compare Adele to Whitney.

She is amazing.

Artiste hors norme avec cette chanson et cette voix incroyable, elle est partie beaucoup trop tôt...

[@EarthAngel504]

I do that when i sing some times,, on certain notes and parts of a song i close my eyes. But never have them closed too long, only certain parts or notes. For me, it's when, like you said, at a certain part you very quickly and momentarily be in another place, almost like you're becoming 1 with the song, when not only your voice, but your whole body is reacting to it. .. I was aware i do it, but i never really thought about it much until you bought it up..I will try not doing that, or at least, try to be conscious of when i'm about to do it and try to stop myself from doing it when my body and mind naturally react to certain parts of a song or notes. I want to see if it will be difficult not to

That was a hair in her mouth. Famously it was bothering her most of the performance. Lol. One of my favorite performances

[@davidweeden8149]

Whitney in control of the audience, the orchestra, and the voice. amazing!

[@pferrera100]

Oh God! Whitney! The only singer that could evoke tears in me before Mylene Farmer. What a voice! She will be known for Centuries! R.I.P. beautiful soul. Way too soon, way too soon Thank you Dereck, for your reaction and keeping her spirit alive!

[@maxmusterman7672]

Whitney's voice is a human treasure. Dead or alive, she is for sure the best female voice in music history. Whitney Houston was a born star. she was a gift from mother Nature The golden standard of a females voice. everyone wishes they could sound like her, men and women. The world's greatest singer. Whitney is a master of all the techniques, 1) resonance, 2) Vibrato, 3) Colorature 4)inflections 5) scaling up and down 6) natural 7)falsetto or soft soprano for a woman 8) throat, diaphram and head singing 9) Crescendo and decrescendo and breath control 10) staccato and perfect diction

[@ez88uc]

Thank you for noticing Whitney's pacing in singing live. She does not rush... ever! She has the confidence to build slowly.

[@IAmMikeyVera]

I remember watching this performance when it aired.. two things.. 1) she was sick (which is why she has a lozenge - that she tosses out towards the end). 2) Her audio was off which is why she missed the “memories” note, then looks at the engineer and taps her ear at 4:50 in this video..

[@lamusiclover2264]

You aren't only hearing horns. This is one of the rare times that she is singing with a full orchestra. Live strings, horns, winds, percussion...everything!

[@lamusiclover2264]

@@mat_o8975 I wasn't saying that she used recorded music ever. There's a difference between an orchestra and a band. She always had live music, but not necessarily always a full string section horn section woodwind section. That's what I meant she always performed live that's not what I was saying. you can improvise in front of a band just as you can improvise in front of an orchestra

[@mat_o8975]

@@lamusiclover2264 Oh!! Now i see! Thank you!! I think you meant that she always used tracks idk why i read too fast hahaha

[@lamusiclover2264]

@@mat_o8975 yeah I could tell you thought I was talking about lip syncing or tracks. I meant a full orchestra as opposed to a band with synthesizers.

[@leroyrs]

Whitney was amazing and wow she looked gorgeous that day. Well, she probably used her hands as a sign for her musicians - setting the pace and rhythm.

[@saparuatiouw]

You’re right. She’s conducting the orchestra

[@lanamartin9107]

First she couldn’t hear herself this the reference to her ear, then she had a lozenge she took out. Whitney was and will always be the greatest vocalist of all time imo. Her tone and the fact she can reach into your soul and make you feel she was singing directly to you. 💗

[@dalesarff5746]

One thing to add, is that she controls the orchestra. They don't control her. When there is those breaks, the orchestra listens to her and and takes their cue from her. Watch her performances, and you see a lot of it. A true and genuine diva and Queen!

[@allanko4901]

She was simply the best indescribable !!

[@pockynon]

Love this live performance but the band is great as well.

[@ez88uc]

React to Whitney Houston - Medley: I Loves You, Porgy / And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going / I Have Nothing... perhaps her most brilliant live performance!

[@violetsrayreikishop2]

Whitney always changes her lives she always gives a surprise something more magical 🪄✨

[@thomasretallick6228]

She has an audience in the palm of her hand and she knows it!! Stunning

[@Bigdrip840]

Her hand movement is her trademark, she’s feeling the song it’s running through her! When her fingers flutter she about to slay! It was a cough drop, she’s sick here if you can’t tell. She’s hoarse! She closes her eyes because she giving you her emotion, it looks great when she does!

[@violetsrayreikishop2]

It's not a tick she's conducting the band she absolutely control everything about her performance Whitney is a instrument.

[@tomgjozkowy]

THE VOICE. SIMPLY! :-) :-)

[@neklamp2431]

Even better than the studio version!

[@paulwaters7834]

I loved Whitney in her Prime, one of the greatest singers in my opinion. It was so sad when she lost her voice in the last few years of her life. I cried when i saw her last world tour, folks walking out as they were so disappointed. I prefer to remember her in the 80s and 90s x God Bless Angel

[@anthonycanova9941]

She seems to conduct the orchestra with her hand movements...she controls the music and not lets the orchestra control her pace.

[@godsson7787]

Nobody comes close to the voice. Even aretha knew not to mess with her and that is facts.

[@mariostylianou7725]

Hay dude!!..A great classic! There's only one Whitney Houston!! The best female vocalist of all time!! Her voice will live on forever in our heart's and our soul's!!.. Liked your reaction!!..

[@cweefy]

that woman was absolutely amazing

[@MrBlactye]

One of most technical singers ever in my opinion Miss Whitney Houston.

[@leslapins7617]

The queen. Nothing else to say.

[@twittertwice]

She is singing live! We can tell you are new to excellent Whitney. She sings what she feels ...

[@twittertwice]

Something may have flown in her mouth

[@oflode2992]

That wig was all over her face and I believe it was a hair that was bothering, but I have to say, she chose the perfect moment to get rid of it, in the clímax of the song while building suspense. She was a master of her craft.

[@htbald1]

The greatest singer of the 20th century, there won't soon be another like her. At the time of her death she had received somewhere around 479 different awards. A generation of artists with real talent and success that will never be duplicated. R.I.P. Whitney, Michael and Prince.

[@IAmMikeyVera]

Love Whitney, love your reactions!

[@lucasvonsena6456]

She is guiding herself through the song with her hands I think it’s something very important to do 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@kevinonthank]

She slays it even with a piece of gum or a mint in her mouth! Lol, She’s a legend no doubt! I think she knew she was going to stretch her voice so she has the mint or whatever to lubricate her throat for singing.

[@pferrera100]

she might have gotten a piece of her hair in her mouth....caught on her tongue....or it could be gum. some singers do chew gum because it salivates their mouth (good for singing)...... what they do is hold it at the top of their mouth....or under their tongue while they sing....but i think it's a piece of hair- a piece of hair that came loose from her perm. If that sticks to your tongue, then slowly slips down your throat, you will choke of course. Singers inhale very deeply and she doesn't have the choice to just stop and get the hair out immediately....so she was waiting for when there was a pause in her singing

[@suavehinrg]

An exceptional live performance! I slightly prefer this Whitney live version to the straight fowardly performed studio version.

[@deshaunx776]

There was no redemption or recovery lol. She had a piece of hair in her mouth and, being an amazing performer, she turned it into a dramatic moment. Aside from her voice & presence, it’s those little moments that set Whitney apart. Once she was locked into a performance, nothing could throw her off her game.

[@mijol8546]

When he said she redeemed herself, I was like WTF are you smoking 🚬 💀!?!?!?

He may of meant where she cracked a little

Why dont you stop trying to find something wrong. Can you even sing?

[@adrianalinbb741]

It is certain that no one can match Whitney H's voice. Until recently, I thought I would never hear such a good voice again, but recently I discovered a very good soloist, very close to this performer. Glennis Grace is her name at the moment probably the best female vocalist next to WH. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKDLfH2DoJarqpY&start_radio=1

[@ems2824]

It was a piece of gum. Because she was known to sing with gum. It's a part of the show. It's a part of her showing her skill set. She didn't have to recover... she removed gum from her mouth. Period!

[@ReactionsByJeff]

I don't know if I added this to my endless lists of potential reactions, but her official video of "Didn't we almost have it all" got me through most of my late junior and senior year of high school. Never a doubt: Her live performances are always live. Please if you can do this one, you won't be disappointed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5CXgZ-DbZqBgNE

Please stop she always had gum i. Her mouth when she sang . Im sure she didnt want to swallow it while hitting those notes.

What a waste of a talent ... RIP!

[@gloriamartin3006]

wow, es incuestionable su poderío único en el escenario. Que maravilla de interpretación y de canción. Ya te han comentado, varios artistas con voces tan potentes, mastican chicle para mejorar o mantener la salivación apropiada. Esta es una peculiaridad que ha comentado Mónica Naranjo en alguna ocasión. Gracias por tu reacción Dereck. besos

Thats not a tick , thats how she expresses her self while she is singing.

Whitney at the height of her career, height of her vocal ability, height of her beauty - a remarkable and moment in music history worth remembering. She had it all. What a shame we lost her to the drug. RIP, Whitney! Didn‘t you almost have it all!? Best cover coming close to her: Jessie J live in China. She does Whitney credit!

Hi Dereck ! I just stumbled across your channel by youtube recommendation whilst watching Mylene Farmer's 2009 Stade de France video. I already wrote a comment under the "Ainsi soit-je" video that you reacted to... please read it ! I have some more recommendations for you, if you want. I'm from Germany, and also a big fan of Mylene Farmer, but also from other French singers and I can recommend many live videos for you to react on, film it and post it on your channel. Best wishes from Germany : Gerion

[@melltay8553]

I listen to an interview where he asks her about moving her hands, and she said it's her way of working with the musicians to let them know the arrangement when singing. You get my drift 😏

Yes wetney Huston the voice none came close to wetney Huston sorry nobody came close none like wetney

[@jayslater3166]

If your a singer and you have to much saliva it's hard to get your note so you take some out like she did to get that next high note.

[@jayslater3166]

To much saliva not hair nor gum she's got that high note coming with a run least saliva gives her more airway.
