Whitney Houston's Breathtaking Billboard Performance (Live 1993)

[@henryjackson6677]

What I loved about Whitney live is that she rarely sang the same version. She always threw in new runs and mixed things up.

[@robmaxfield780]

100% spot on! Such a force! She is missed!

[@95KIPPIE]

Her live versions often eclipsed her studio versions. She was in the spirit here just a minute back. You will hear it after the ending phrase a lot of gospel singers do this when they are really caught up as they say.

[@sunshinehoover4630]

Such a tragic loss. She owned the 80's and 90's. Her and MJ ruled that era. ❤❤❤

[@whitneyfan9019]

Whitney is the GOAT! Her voice was just out of this world.

[@jerjorju]

That CONFIDENCE. She knew.

[@bobthecone]

The record label limited her to make her "radio friendly," so Whitney made a point of throwing the most amazing acrobatics when she performed live.

[@phillinsogood]

Right one of my favorite live performances of hers is when she performed “How will I know” at the VMAS she saaaang so well and turned it to church

[@bigd7386]

NO ONE... I mean no one, this day and age, can outright, flat-foot SANG such a vocally complicated song and yet direct the band and moment like this woman. It's the combination of her voice, ear, beauty and sheer stage presence. And her band was SICK! I also like that we see some of her humanity here where she did kind of go off key during the second verse but somehow didn't let it phase her and managed to seamlessly cue to give her more in the monitor. And someone just pointed out recently... she never used in-ear monitors.

[@TheRemixstress]

*The vocal elasticity, the vocal control, the melisma, the song interpretation, the velvety-honey like tone that blankets her voice from top to bottom, the diction, the vocal power, the vibrato, the operatic head notes, the resonance, the breath control, the vocal sustainability, the vocal clarity, the* *vocal emotiveness, the delivery, the stage presence....THE VOICE* Whitney *'The Vocal Tsunami'* Houston... Whitney *'Diamond Vocal Cords'* Houston.

[@markdrinkwater1508]

Aretha was better in most departments.

[@TheRemixstress]

@@markdrinkwater1508 Laughable....But I like Aretha too. But that joke you just made was funny😂😂

[@markdrinkwater1508]

@@TheRemixstress It's not a joke - it's a fact - which is why Franklin tops every music industry poll as the greatest voice in recording history - as well as being hailed as the greatest by just about every renowned singer in the pop world from the 1960s to the present day, every musician, every producer, every writer and critic - Franklin is revered and established and written into the history books as the greatest most influential and inspirational voice. Houston's output can never match Franklin's recordings - and Franklin's art form and stage presence leaves all others - including Houston - trailing in her wake. Franklin quite simply had a more beautifully toned, diverse, agile and bigger voice - with perfect phrasing - inimitable melisma and speed of vocal runs - and just all round artistic beauty and instinct and musicianship. Her talent is unmatched - Whitney said it and so did her moma - and so did every other great singer. There you go - some clarity and perspective for you.

[@TheRemixstress]

@@markdrinkwater1508 I'm not reading that Novel you posted... But from the little I did read, I can say, that's just out of 'respect'... No pun intended... Hhahahaha.....She's the 'supposedly' Queen of Soul, so out of respect, they give it to her...In reality, they ALL know Whitney would vocally mop the floor with Aretha

[@markdrinkwater1508]

@@TheRemixstress You read my every word and your delusion is unfathomable if you actually believe that Aretha's being lauded as the greatest voice - as far back as the Columbia years - her being hailed as the greatest voice by the greats like Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan - and declared as the greatest by every generation of singer and musician ever since - if you think that such reverence is born out of some false sense of sentimentality and that these people didn't really mean what they said - then all I can suggest is that you seek an urgent review in clinic and maybe a change to your medication. Good luck.

I’m now a fan of you guys due to your appreciation of Whitney and music in general. Please react to her live performance of One Moment In Time at the Grammys. It’s a vocal showstopper!

[@KingMaxMcqueen]

Capt. America said it best! I always say the same - Whitney stood at a mic stand and did NOT move. Didn’t even remove the mic and brought the crowd to it’s feet almost EVERY TIME!

[@zacharyminton73]

She is legendary. Pure legend.

Genuinely love seeing those really not ready for the true experience of ‘The Voice’ Live! 😍

[@sharkkeeper01]

You should see her sing “A song for you” hometown heroes concert….that entire concert was the best performance ever

[@toriboy25]

Welcome Home Heroes (In case they search) But I totally agree! Great concert! Remember watching it live. HBO was free that weekend!

[@toriboy25]

Speaking of the band Rickey Minor, her musical director, deserves props! They were magic together! Just a bit of fun trivia. The dress she is wearing is in her section of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture

Whitney Houston- Greatest Love of All (live Arista 1990)

[@demetriusreynolds8178]

The 1988 wembley version is the best rendition of that song to me. It’s Whitney so their all great but wembley version was another level

[@muzimthembu453]

@@demetriusreynolds8178 I dunno. She had more energy in the 1990 version, I feel. Plus that full orchestra? Sends me!

[@demetriusreynolds8178]

@@muzimthembu453 there really is no wrong answer as both renditions are brilliant. It’s just the slow build of the wembley version to the epic climax at the end gives me goosebumps and at the verge of crying every time I hear it. The transitions from chest, head, slide bravado and multiple voice ranges to the multiple extended belts at the end is a singing masterclass imo.

You both need to check out her live performance of " The Greatest Love of All " at the Arista award show.....it is truly her best live performance

[@TheRemixstress]

Yes, it is a great performance. But her live rendition of "I Am Changing" in NY even tops the Arista one. Wish it was video of it, only audio. But Whitney vocally ANNIHILATED that song and left that stage smoking.

[@MichaelS.Carter-v3k]

Check out her "Welcome Home Heroes" TV Special. Especially when she sings " All the Man I Need"...and " A Song For You!"

[@scott6041]

There are so many of her live performances that are truly amazing....Don't Cry for Me...comes to mind....This Day....at the VH1 Honors....and many many more

Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston =- vocal trinity for a reason These are women who feed off the moment and the crowds! All three do it different live on stage compared to their studio tracks The Presence, Power, Resonance, Vocal Range, tenacity, these women OWN their stages by standing there from the effortless yet sudden ways they move their body or hands to show their ability to hit a note.

A little sharp on the word memory from the line when the memory survives which Whitney picks on straight away and points shortly after to her in ear monitor to have her sound engineer to turn down the backing and in order to hear herself better.
