Yes she takes you to God with this song, as she' s singing, she is with God, and present but not present, that song is amazing, after I discovered it. I play it often, and close my eyes, and talk to God with that song. Simply, amazing, theirs no other, like her. EVER.
My absolute favourite singer of all time, and as I always say, the most gifted and talented singer who not only ever lived , but who will ever live!! The thing about this legendary singer is that during the period of her prime, she kept raising the bar in terms of vocal prowess! This is an excellent case in point, as here she is in trade mark fashion, executing an incredible performance almost acapella style -just a pianist/organ and church choir- with her powerful yet soothing vocals soaring like an eagle, and filling the church Hall with her unique brand of artistic expression! All of her special attributes with which she was divinely blessed were on display here - one of a kind tone, raw power, range, transitions between head and chest voice, vibrato, melisma, immaculate control, literally tons of self- confidence( there is nothing she could not do vocally) and emotional energy. Indeed, the foregoing list of attributes is not exhaustive, as there are others such as her resonance, sincerity, not to mention that all of these exceptional attributes were delivered in the context of awe-inspiring grace, elegance and obvious conviction. In addition, I must emphasize as evidenced in this performance, how effortlessly and seamlessly she transitions between head and chest voice and between smooth, soulful sailing to open throat belting!! When all of the above is taken into account, the result is vocal perfection and a singer with the complete package, in the person of Whitney Elizabeth Houston! Of course, because of her vocal prowess and versatility, we tend to overlook the fact that she was stunningly beautiful!! I can only describe this performance as not even divine, but Godly, as it seemed to me that God was singing through her mortal being! I have said it many a time, but I will say it again - it is not unusual for me to break down emotionally at times when I look at her videos or even hear her songs. And this is not only because she was untouchable vocally in her prime, but also because she was a sincere, humble, decent and selfless human being, who gave so much of her self and in return, expected/ demanded very little ( she just wanted to be left alone by the media and other detractors). The last thing I would say about this performance is that the vocal skills Whitney demonstrated cannot be learned- they are natural and inherent!! I know that your music and you as a decent, selfless human being will always be s part of my existence! I will always love you, and you ought to know that I never had so much pride in a singer, as I have in you. You, as well the message you communicated in your music are believable - another defining and unique feature of your legacy. R.I.P. Whitney Baulbeer Persaud
Yes!!!! You said everything that I’ve been trying to convey about her. I’m glad that you understand and I feel as I do. I am a man and I still cry thinking about and listening to Whitney especially in her prime up until about 95. Then something changed with the Waiting to Exhale Soundtrack.
That conviction you speak of and the tho g she is demanding is your attention. She had a presence, stage presence that existed even off the stage, that was unmatched by anyone.
Beautiful, I love A Quiet Place, every time I here it. I feel like she looks, like she isn't even with us, but in Heaven with God. It touches, my spirit, immensely. I Love Whitney, there's no other. RIP job , well done.
You are 100 percent correct. Aside from her perfect vocal prowess that is second to none, Whitney’s gift of emoting is undeniably unique and truly God given! No one had that power in simplicity of melody,
It's funny, I never paid attention before, but you can hear Aretha's influence in Whitney's voice here ALOT. But Whitney took that and went into the hemisphere with it! TRULY one of a kind talent.
God Given Gift is all i can think of when listening to this! Her voice was liquid gold, Effortless reaching for the star notes. Whitney once quoted "I sing because God blesses me". The Voice!
The conviction you referenced was enabled by the fact that many in the singing circles at that time were arguably upset with Cissy for pushing her and giving her spotlight. They rumored that it was just because it was her daughter. This performance encapsulate all that energy in what some would say prove that she really got the pipes.
People like Whitney and Tupac touch you in a way no other could. Two totally difference performers but there emotion attached to the way they sound and express themselves was so touching.
I absolutely appreciate this. your appreciation of Whitney. My friends think I am crazy because one of my other friends and I discuss Whitney's singing tone and technique in lengthy detail. I really appreciate your appreciation of THE VOICE!!!!
you are awesome :) Whitney is completely my ALL TIME ETERNAL VOICE ...when I die I want to join wherever she is and hear and sing with her again :) I Love her with all my heart and soul as I do God ... He gave us a gift in Whitney :)
Aweaome video man - wowww. Her tone is spectacular in this video - so pure, tender and with godly resonance (As you say). Her runs and head voice make me smile, cry and shiver all at once, yet so full of gopel power, fire and command. 😁❤. Poor Whitney... one of the biggest losses ever for the world... 😢💔
Very true dude.. My fav voice as well. Never heard anything on earth like her voice.. and you are also correct about the conviction in her voice.. Like she is demanding something.. I'm being very honest when i say this. But the Only thing i ever heard that was so convicting and commanding other than her voice is Thunder..When you hear both, you know to shut up, and give it the respect it demands
Didnt Whitney sing this performance before 1987. I thought this was done in 1985 or 1986 before the release of her 1987 'Whitney' album? I need to research to find out what year she actually did this "A Quiet Place" (Live) performance.
Pierre D It’s a lot of confusion on the year. The clip of the video is from a 1987 special called Superstars and their Moms. I’ve only found one other place that states the performance was back in 1985, however everyone seems to think it was indeed 1987. Either way it’s a phenomenal showcase of her talent.

This was the year she released her second album "Whitney". Her voice was heavenly and incomparable during this time.
That’s my fav Whitney Era
If you don't know how heaven sounds, then you found out today

yes lord
Amen
She had so many vocal tools at her disposal. And she knew when to use them. That is a gift and a talent.

This is so brilliantly written (as though I said it myself). Thank you. ❤
Yes!!!! You said everything that I’ve been trying to convey about her. I’m glad that you understand and I feel as I do. I am a man and I still cry thinking about and listening to Whitney especially in her prime up until about 95. Then something changed with the Waiting to
Exhale Soundtrack.
her face is so calm ... top voice ... amazing song ... supreme singer
This is how I remember her. This song is a meditation. So beautiful. A quiet place to tell Him our issues
RIP Whitney 🙏🏾❤️
"There's a conviction in her voice, like she's demanding something." I don't think I could've said it better. Truth!
her voice is a pure diamond
And there you see the lady who taught her, her mom Cissy proudly standing close by. Not very far away.......
ONE VOICE TO RULE THEM ALL!
One of the most beautiful and powerful performances by Withney ❤
Beautiful ❤️
look how proudly her mother looks at her singing... so gloryful.

Whitney and God were talking to each other.
Just like when Donny Hathaway was talking to God in his song “Thank You Master”.
Phenomenal singing.
There are two people who, in my opinion, have the most beautiful hums I have ever heard. Whitney Houston and Donny Hathaway.
Tears every time I hear this! It was as if it was just her and God in that room.
Amend, Her mom is right by her side!!! Thank you Cissy Houston for sharing your daughter.
Forever The Voice My Mama Whitney Houston. I Miss You So Much.
i just love watching Cissy...she is so, so, so proud of Whitney!....
God Given Gift is all i can think of when listening to this!

Whitney once quoted "I sing because God blesses me".
The Voice!
Her home in Gospel... a messenger from God .. her trumpet for the lord is her vocals and her love for human kind

Tupac should never be mentioned in the same sentence as Whitney Houston, she was the greatest singer who ever lived.
@@danzig159 They should never be mentioned in the same sentence, yet they bumped uglies (according to Bobby)
@@TheMastersuperblaste she’s human. And Bobby might be lying

Please do a reaction Video to Jennifer Hudson and Morlon Wayans video singing. It's over 5 minutes.
React to Cissy Houston- Be My Baby! She and whitney voice is very similar

React to Beyonce - ex factor otr tour please
Jan Smith Beyoncé shouldn't be mentioned when we're talking about real singers
Jacque Branch C. She's more than a singer, she's a vocalist.
Jacque Branch C. do you feel happy to slander a black woman to praise another? that's really sad.
D03Thh Gg beyoncé has agruably the best technique in pop music history... she breath control and agility are also untouchable
vatanak taiss an entertain can also be a vocalist... it's not rocket science; a person can be one or the other, or even both... it's humanly possible
