People need to understand this was not a "performance" for accolades. This was a tribute from a grieving mother to her deceased daughter. She did a beautiful job especially considering the circumstances. I personally would have fallen apart. I think anyone looking to criticize need to just back away from the keyboard...
MissUmuch100 say that again
I cry every time I watch this
You can really hear the pain within I couldn’t even imagine but it’s obvious she could still sing but this wasn’t to entertain the audience this was for her daughter only we were just blessed to view it or if you were there see it
Pls say it again!!
Bless you, MissUmuch100 - so very well said.
Do you understand the strength that it takes for a mother to have to perform a tribute for her daughter in front of hundreds of people, with a slideshow of their memories playing behind her & only a couple months after her child’s death? Bless you then and bless you now to the illustrious Cissy. Whitney? I love you forever 💜 hope to see you in Heaven some day baby girl💜
She is amazing amazing as a mother who losta child there is no way I could of done that she is amazing
Sing It Mrs Houston And Lord Have Mercy On This Lady In The Might Name Of Jesus Christ Amen Amen Amen @@maxinebroster4724
well considering she's 80 and she's singing this in a soprano range, it's actually quite impressive. The emotion is really in there too.
AMEN!!
She sounds fine to me
and live!!!!
@@marloscott1016 not to me
@MsTeedyboo she's singing to honor her child. It's not about what anyone thinks or feels!
She put everything she had into that song. I loved it and would challenge any of you to sing at your child's funeral or tribute to their life and hit every note pitch perfect.
i know that's right! imo she killed it!
I totally agree
I absolutely agree with you...this is the most heartfelt rendition of this song I've had the pleasure to listen to.
Don't challenge me because I CAN'T sing a tune in a bucket she sounds just fine to me
something about a older voice really puts the meaning of a gospel song on shine. . .im sure everyone felt her pain in that room. even if they honestly didnt give a damn about whitney or the tribute. this would have stopped everyone from playing with their phones.
Yes Because I Definitely Did..... I Really Felt Her Pain
Soulja boy broke my heart. God was speaking directly to him😭😭
Every single time I watch this I cry. I Cannot imagine the pain a mother feels when she has to say goodby to one of her childs.
Martin Almanza Miss Cissy, bless you mama
Martin Almanza Mrs. Houston, I'm sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy. RIP, WH and WH's daughter.
This song was written for such times as this, GOD bless Cissy Houston.
I can't watch this without crying either.... 😢😢😢😢😢
so deeply painful indeed. I don't just love Cissy, i admire her talent
people need to understand that this isn't supposed to be a great performance this is a grieving mother expressing what's in her heart stop posting hateful comments
+Chicken McNugget amen and well said.
agreed
Mrs cissy houston have a wonderful Voice
Cissy killed that tribute I dnt know everyone else hearing. Hell you can't take people serious when they think Rhianna can sing better then Mariah Carey
I cried watching this :(
Eustace Boikanyo it's just about impossible to not tear up watching this.
sad indeed😭😭
Truth
Speak on it.
Man, I couldn't even talk at my dad's funeral let alone sing. Imagine a mother singing this thinking about her dead daughter? Props to her for this performance. She has me bawling!
Simple minded people don't understand that in Gospel music it's not about what note you hit, or if you are sharp or flat, it's about how an audience is affected and moved, Cissy did just fine for her age and if this was in church people would be shouting in the aisles
I know that's right!
Better talk! You can be sharp and flat a quarter of the song but if you are singing with FEELING AND DEEP SOUL, and the audience is moved, people are crying, people are dancing then thats what its all about! To me thats better than u singing in absolute perfect pitch and people are sitting there unmoved and untouched.

Hilary _ Cissy is old and her voice is not the same !! She has every right to be up there.
She taught her daughter everything she knows vocally
School them!!! People are so worried about putting on a show. This wasn't for show. This was for her baby.
First your daughter, then your granddaughter. So tragic.
She felt that she was going to loose her granddaughter on the show ... when they had that party for cissy n Bobbie kept walking away
I heard that I give her mad props for getting through this song & she has my sincerest prayers & condolences on her loss
She never even really respected Whitney fully anyway so 🤷🏿♂️
@@killlamas57 Yep, don't give your children love and this is what happens to them and later their own children.
@@killlamas57🙄😒 you must be a gay dude in his feelings to ?
At 78 or 79 years of age, and having over 55 years of recording experience under her belt, Mother Cissy sang with all her heart and soul for her daughter and the crowd. God bless her forever, in Jesus name, amen.
I can see where whitney got her pipes from. what cissy has endured these last 3 years, first with her daughter and now her granddaughter, my heart breaks for her :(
Her only daughter...
That's so heartbreaking...
I think Cissy did great on this tribute to Whitney. For all the people saying she sounds horrible and needs to sit down. She is in her 70s and still sounds great. For once would people stop being haters. Who post heartless comments about a performance that she put her heart into. That was here daughter and I personally think she went out there and killed it in a great way.
Now here 80s and can still kill it
+Cameron “CJ” Bassett
YOU BETTER PREACH
+longbranch11207 thanks it's so annoying when people say beyonce should have did the tribute instead of cissy. so basically someone who did not know Whitney personally should get to give a tribute over Whitney's mother who has known Whitney for her entire life.
Cameron Bassett beyonce who? give me a cracking sounding Cissy that is sinning from the heart over her loss of her only daughter instead of MISS KING BEY only do it for show and for the media. no thank you.Cissy at 80 years old is still holding her own against these younger chicks true talent
longbranch11207 exactly. Cissy's tribute was real.
You can hear her trying to keep her composure. So sad but i commend her for having the strength to get up there and do that
Damn she tore that song up at 79 years old, i guess she did it for Whitney
Some of you should hang your head in pure shame for all the negative comments about Mother Cissy Houston. Please believe and never get it twisted...this woman is a Gospel/Soul legend in her own right!! Yall better check her resume straight up. First of all she is a woman in her 80's and her voice and vigor is not as strong as it once was but trust her spirit in Faith has NEVER lost its power...please believe. And second of all she is a woman grieving the death of her daughter still. Some of yall bone heads will never experience what she has gone through. Again I say shame on you all who make such negative comments.
GREAT POST Tanisha! People who are saying bad things about her should be ashamed! She is 80 years old for goodness sake, not to mention she was NO DOUBT trying NOT to cry, and that is hard to do when singing….. bless her heart. She is a good Godly lady… how dare ppl criticize her!
AMEN my my my :-) I love your spirit.... Amen You're absolutely correct......
I know that's right! most of these disrespectful and ignorant people with their negative comments need to get their heads checked.
This was one of the most heart felt performances Ive ever watched...tears flowed down my face from the moment the music started playing..her heart was already on that stage before the performance began....so special ♥
Here I am 6yrs later and balling tears! If you have ever loved and lost and even survived life! This is a mother’s love and it’s indescribable unless you understand 💔💓
to think she was 79 yrs old here still killing it ! Mrs Cissy Houston is 89 yrs old now❤
So beautiful. I bet Kanye was thinking about his mom.
Donda
voice control is so difficult when you are singing for someone you've lost, blessing to Cissy for showing her love and strength for her beautiful talented daughter x
What do you mean this was a great job
@dombon9783 where do you think Whitney Houston, got it from?! Mrs. Houston Cissy, that is was an amazing Soprano, who with and for the best of the best. Let's start with the Queen Of Soul Ms. Aretha L. Franklin's "Ain't No Way" the entire album. The long note being held in the background is non other than Mrs. Cissy Houston. So, paying tribute to only daughter at her age is absolutely beautiful considering the circumstances.
She did the impossible. In her 70s singing one of the hardest songs ever and at her daughters funeral who was also a singer. She is truly the definition of a strong woman. Love you Cissy.
This made me cry, it was so beautiful ❤
God is holding her hand , this is for real , what A strong woman , Cissy i love god and your voice , r. i.p. W.H.
As a church child , we don’t care about hearing you we just want to hear god through you and your heart and soul . 🥰
She trained Whitney Houston to be the best!
How is she in her 70's and sounds better than...hmmm... 95% of "singers" today. Oh..and without auto tune.
80's *
@@iamsachadally even more to my point lol. She did that at 80? Go head Cissy
@@phillippotee1910 yes !!
I believed 80%-90% persons in the room were in tears
ME
GREAT POST DAVID! Yes, I would be inclined to agree w/ you on that.
David Edwards Yes, and me too... A Beautiful and Heartbreaking performance 💔💔💔
You are sure right about that
Absolutely
I have always loved this song but this rendition takes me straight to heaven. I guess it is all about the occasion and emotions of losing your only daughter. Thanks Ms. Houston.
Wow! Not all singers of her age could sing that well.
Seriously?? Her voice is harsh & unpleasant & always has been
jinae di nisci so you can sing??? you're evil!!!!
Actually uneishab I can & have been since I was 3. You're an idiot to call someone evil for having an opinion (which last I checked I was entitled to) GTFOH!!
Show us what you've got girl, or else GTFOOH
true though. If you say you can sing, you better prove it to us...
i cry every time i hear this. Cissy can bring you to tears with that voice
There is not a single dry eye in that place. SO much emotion.
Damn who cutting onions!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It would be hard for me to sing like that if I had a child but strong mama Cissy RIP Whitney you was awesome singer
Zevil Gehannivani I agree witcha now me myself i have a good singing ability I need to use..
who could possibly dislike this?
I read her book. Miss Houston has the type of strength that anyone should hope to have... She taught and loved her daughter all the way, all the time and with everything she had. There's nothing she could have done more. Whitney was her own person in the end, like we all are.. What a beautiful tribute this is...
Very strong lady. Song is great.
I am in tears. Imagine loosing your child then having to sing at a memorial for them. This must be so hard. This is so beautiful!
The vibrato is wide, but hell, she is still phenomenal even before you take into account the nature of the occasion. Cissy is so underrated. She is one of the greatest singers in the history of recorded music.
Fitting she sang this...As she did with Elvis. Never knew her power and range. That God-Given talent trickled down and we all were blessed with it. Glorious.
One of the greatest live vocals of all time.
Are you deaf? I mean, trully emotional, but she's out of tune for the whole performance
Bullshit. You don't have to sound like if you're still 20, But you at least have to be in tune. You can't be so off key. Just don't sing then. I don't care if she's old, the passion and soul are totally there, but she's out of tune anyway. Check out Shirley Bassey at the Oscars. Magnificent.
+Francesco Amedei Oh I'm sorry if your daughter died and you had to sing an entire tribute infront of millions of people on live tv and its a SONG SHE WROTE, how the hell would you sound.
+Francesco Amedei I hear you exactly what you mean. No shade, but I couldn't even watch the whole performance and its not because it was emotional. It was because she is out of key. She is off-key... she is completely out of key. #havemercy #noshade
+Just Love It was not off-key. You are the one who is way off. Her voice was a little shaky because she was singing to her daughter who recently died. If you had a heart you would have taken that into consideration and kept your ignorant, negative comments to yourself. Some of us with hearts felt the emotion in her voice. This song nearly brought me to tears because as a mother of three daughters I don't want to even think about having to bury one. I certainly wouldn't be able to sing as well as she did.
The day everybody couldn't believe 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My eye got watery not going to front and am a grown ass man RIP Whitney Houston
Moe: I saw yr comment, and thought 'gosh he must be a very emotional person' until I listened to it, and SAID THE EXACT SAME THING!!!! My eyes too got watery….. good post man. OMG! That was beautiful. I don't know if it is just me or not, but I could HEAR Whitney's voice (meaning, the part of her momma's voice that was passed along to her), and it nearly broke me down!!!
Will Maybe its crazy cause i am actually a very emotional person sometime, i get in my emotional moods where i just want to listen to slow songs. Being a cancer i tell you lol but thanks
O
I marvel at the strength Cissy demonstrate especially in this song, "Like a bridge over trouble waters." God Bless Her, she is my hero!!
From the heart of a mother. God heard her cry.
Happy birthday Whitney 😇 Rest Peacefully
2021 and this still gives me goosebumps. I watched my grandma bury my mom, my uncles literally had to carry her up to the casket. I hope I never have to experience the pain of burying a child.
Damn! I never knew Cissy sounded like that! Her voice alone, the power of it, is what finally lifted her daughter up into the sky and into Heaven. Whitney is NOW in a much better place, y'all. Ms. Houston now. Ms. Houston forever.
Shes singling a tribute for her DAUGHTER who has passed away. Do you actually expect her to hit every note. seriously?
G Parker, Yes, especially this song. The words are so sad. Listen to her other tribute "I'm in His Hands". She hit all the notes.
To m she did fine considering the circumstances.
WOW Ms Cissy's voice is powerful & joyful and Heavenly ... wow i got goose bumps all over me 🌹🕊️❤️💜 Only the Holy Spirit gives a powerful voice like hers - age never matters with the power of God inside ✨
This is a mother's 100 percent PURE and UNCONDITIONAL love poured into a song! So moving and powerful!
Wow such a powerful voice and beautiful tribute to Whitney
cissy sounded beautiful
Miss Cissy comes from that era you opened your mouth and sang! GOD bless her. Miss you Whitney ❤️
Tears flow so hard x I miss Whitney I respect her mother so much x god bless her always x
I have watched this so many times and I cry everytime! I never want to experience a loss like this. RIP Whitney !
It is unimaginable the pain that woman has gone thru but she's still strong and singing to Jesus💛💜❤
Cissy nailed it!!! She still sounds good at this age?!!!
She is a strong women,Those that say bad things about her child Whitney have no souls and even if they hate her they will never have her voice and God bless Cissy Houston
Mimi gaylisha Swartbooi
i've always loved cissy Houston's voice
bless her heart. absolutely beautiful voice. I know that had to be difficult. love you Whitney always.
At her age, she can belt like that! It's so impressive..I can feel the emotion of a grieving mother... I can see and hear where Whitney got her talent
Oh my God, this is so REAL! Music isn't about sounds, hitting the right notes, or any such thing as some sort of one persons idea of perfection. Music is feeling! That is why people can be touched by music without even understanding the language, the words ... because it is the emotion we understand. Cissy Houston sang beautifully! I felt it, and it's about an EVERLASTING LOVE! RIP Whitney Houston .. the music lives on!
Wow what a performance. Like mother like daughter. Who’s better? Love them both. Whitney learned from the best.
For the critics here ; Cissy sung with Elvis Presley, she has soul, she is singing with all her love, I am so crying my eyes out now.
Omg this women is a legend and my heart still breaks for her loss to her over her daughter Whitney Houston and the entire Houston family
Watching this can definitely bring you to tears Tragic Ending to the Greatest Voice put on Records
This is one of the deepest and moving experiences of my entire life. This lady has indeed lain on troubled waters
Good Lord; what a beautiful performance!
So emotional, make me sad, don't cry Mama. Whitney and you still give inspiration to many people. 😊😊
Wowww this song put me to tears!! Cissy Houston is a great singer!!
This song makes me cry 😢 all the time. Because the words are so true 🙏🏾😢😢R.I.P. Whitney I hope you’re at peace now queen
I can go hear Dionne Warwick in her voice.
Yep, thats her niece
Oh my! She just sang all her grief out for us all to see.😭😭😭 God bless you Ma'am.
This woman at 80 sings better than many, there are so many out there who can't hold a candle to Cissy Houston. Very touching, she can Sang. Those who are negative, I challenge you to get up on a stage in your eighties and sang for your child who has just died. I cried, because I felt the hurt, the lost, the emptiness. Thank you, Cissy! We love you.
OMG was that not just heart wrenching when she said "This is for you Nip!" I am right there with you, she had me in tears right at that moment. So happy there are people like you out there still, that have a heart.
BEAUTIFUL VOICE!❤🕊❤so powerful!
Sissy is an icon singing to her only baby girl that has left this world and her baby's daughter too. The pain is felt in her voice, she is without merit or position just running notes so her girls hear her. God bless you Whitney and Bobbie Christina. Thank you for the music and for all it's glory, we did not live without it because of Whitney Houston.
Hearing this still do something to me, she sang her heart out God bless you Ms. CISSY HOUSTON
"Sail on silver girl ...your time has come to shine , Now all of your dreams are Gone Away" i cried like i was the father ❗
That was beautiful!
I had no idea how good this lady was, her soprano backup for so many, is absolutely gorgeous, her range, control, inflection, true perfection.. As a soprano, I have always been frustrated, that the only way to make a living outside of Opera, for those who's best voice is in the upper range, were and still are forced to sing in alto range, which often, to me sounds more like shouting. As a young women I was regularly relegated to ohs and ahs rather than words, When I found a small group where I got to sing WORDS, I was thrilled. Still singing today at 82, and described as the lady who sings in the stratosphere. Now I just smile, the joy of making music is enough.
I am seeing comments about this being a bad performance and I just know those of you saying this have NO KNOWLEDGE about singing at all. She did AMAZING!!! Not to mention being able to sing this while your child lay dead. Whew lord!! Bless this woman and those REMARKABLE pipes of hers.
And considering that she was singing for her dead daughter and in her 80s she did amazing
She is full of pain. Not a single smile, eyes looking down. She delivers herself to music like she is asking heaven, “Oh God, why? Tell me why.”
No Mother Should Not Buried Their Children. A Mother's Love Runs Deep For Her Children.
Cissy you were AMAZING!!! Whitney inherited the gift of music from her mom. God bless!!
Yes God, Praise Him anyhow! It gives me great joy to see her in this time pay tribute to her child Whitney (Nippy) Houston. May God continue to bless Cissy, Bobbi Kristina, Donnie and evryone whom embraced Whitney for who she was a True Iconic Voice.
Such a strong woman. I just cried.
Just imagine a mother doing everything she could to try and intervene and safe her daughter. Now imagine a daughter that has free will as we all do! This many years later! Everyone that is saying anything about Cissy’s voice she gave up singing long ago, but sang her heart out for her baby girl. Omg real love and pain in those pipes. Definitely where Whitney got it from❤ and if you haven’t heard Cissy in her prime you are definitely sleeping on her!
Goodness that was awesome!!!!!!!
Beautiful!👏🏾👏🏿👏🏽👏🏼😥
This heavy! WHEW, what a moment in Music.
that was the most honest pure performance i have ever seen from anybody in the music world! a mother paying tribute too her child is real x
Just got thru watching f the umpteenth time. Cry everytime. The words to this song came with so much meaning and sadness. Till today, I still cnt watch any of Whitney's docs or videos. Do miss this true diva, terribly. RIP
It’s 2020 and listening to her sing this still affects me as if it’s my first time hearing it. If this doesn’t move you, something is seriously wrong with your brain’s limbic system!😥
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? This woman is grieving for her daughter and to get up and sing and give it her all body and soul that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!!
THOSE VOCALS THOUGH, WOW, IM SHOOK!
One of hardest nights ever. I remember this as if it were yesterday. We cried like never before! Mrs. Cissy Houston was a Pilar of strength ❤️🙏😭😭
Oh my god this live is so emotional I cry every time she is so perfect and divine.
I refuse to believe there was a dry eye in the audience. Here I am 11 years later getting teary eyed.
