It Was Also A Musical Relationship Since They Both Kept Inspiring Each Other & It Reflected On Brandy’s Self Titled Debut & Whitney’s Your Love Is My Love Albums
CC said that Whitney was going thru something on the day of the live show. She also said during rehearsals she held The Queen Of Soul at bay with her powerful voice.
People sometimes forget that these artist are real people who get nervous too and there’s always a different energy when a performance is live and there’s a crowd of people in the audience with excitement and expectations. It hits different.
@@soubeautiful7066wow so she was only 33 when recording Cinderella as the fairy god mother?? Always thought she was older in that role. Probably because I was only 10 😂
That's what I keep telling folks.. Whitney was stone cold in the church, and Cissy sang back up for Elvis. Dinner is her cousin. And aretha as god mama! I ❤ IT!! What a combination!
@@beemocha her brother helped kill her and Brandy is a damn fraud for covering for him . Whitney showed up wet, dripping wet when she handed that note to Brandy while Brandy was literally being interviewed. It was so important Whitney Interrupted the interview while wet, stating "she almost drowned" and handed Brandy the death note.
By the mid 90s, Whitney’s lifestyle was taking a toll on her voice. I love Whitney’s music but at this point it was 50/50 on whether she was going to be amazing or struggle through the song.
There’s something about cece that brings out the best in Whitney … each time they sing together Whitney seems so relax n happy … the love between them is just …..❤
This is the Whitney I knew, luv, and want to always remember for her GOD given talent at its prime! We lost a good 1, but like all the 'GREATS' that have come & gone👼...Life here on earth is only temporary, and it's up2 US to leave a powerful & positive impact 🖤
Listening to these songs I immediately connected them...this is the soundtrack of Waiting to Exhale! 😊❤ I love these songs and the movie! RIH Ms Whitney! 😢🙏🏾 I loved Brandy and her connection! ❤
@@southerngirlchef5886I think she has more of lower tone Now. Then she did years ago. I notice a drastic change in her voice as well. It sounds more fitting and pleasant. Instead of her just screaming and yelling. I like how her voice sounds now. It sounds more controlled and comfortable
I always love the fact that her rehearsals were waaaay more better than the final performance. By the way, thanks so much for sharing this. It's so precious. Please share more of her rare contents. ❤
So true. I love how everytime she sings a song 🎵 it’s always a little different than the time before. I miss this raw talent & energy from this time in music.
* I love how Whitney was. They had already stated earlier in the day of this performance that Whitney was a little under the weather for those that don't know, which explains the change you hear in her voice. I thought the live version was still beautiful too.
Thanks for posting this! Despite the challenges, Nippy did her thang! People must understand voices and what could happen between rehearsal and the live event 🤷🏾♂️.
Wow this is amazing. I remember watching the Grammys live in 1997. I remember during the night Whitney wasn't in the best voice. But she killed vocals during this rehearsal.
that was sooooo cute. I sat and watched this whole thing, so magical and so professional. I still holler at the hard prison stances Mary used to have back in the day on stage. She softened towards the end of this rehearsal. LOL. Man oh man, Whitney was truly special to me. And Cece - whew my lord today, she's anointed through and through. Watching this brings back memories.
Whitney was a gift from God. I am so grateful I was around for the new releases of music and movies. So many talentee artists, but no one like Whitney, and love for all the women in this clip. Love for MJB running through my vains as is Cece, but Whitney was a gift from a higher power, a blessing with all her faults she showed love RIP Whitney. GOD BLESS
I discovered this yesterday and i like it. Whitney can make reheatsal seem interesting. It always fun and interesting to watch unreleased rehearsal footage. Thanks for uploading this and sharing it with people.
Brandy should have been the one to play Whitney Houston and her life story, they were the same size, had some of the same tones, but would have been perfect, and she would have been rehearsed enough of being in Whitney's real life, to know how to betrayed the story, while giving authenticity and respect at the same time.
Wow this is incredible! Also, Whitney's voice was much stronger during rehearsal compared to the actual performance. Maybe she came down with something a day or two later which impacted her voice. Still an amazing performance and the rehearsal is legendary
Whitney sounds great and vibrant here. Her voice has a clarity and assurance that were somewhat missing in the actual performance. Loved when she sang free of expectations - she just sang and it was always beautiful
No auto tune, just pure vocals! What a time to be alive!!! 🫶🏾
OMG! Thank you for saying that. Good ole days indeed!
VERY, VERY, Good Times.
@@MegaLabStudios Right?!?!
Whitney loved Brandy A LOT. You can tell they had a niece and auntie type of relationship. It was very sweet. RIP Whitney! ❤️

This is so rare! This deserves to be in a museum!
@@SoSillyWilly26 So glad we get to witness this!
Whitney just RUNNING everywhere effortlessly omg that woman is a legend
Whitney sang so effortlessly. ❤
This is legendary footage..
Thank you for watching!
Wow, Whitney really loved Brandy. Her support of her is a story in itself
I know right? Great seeing them together like that!
So much speculation about that now. Whst was in that note Whitney handed you, Brandy Norwood??? 🤔
No SHE DID NOT! Stop getting carried away
@@swisschoklate736yes she did. Stay mad
@@beemocha I wish your hairline didn’t cuz it real mad fewwwwwwwwf chile!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whitney was such an improv singer and Brandy definitely studied her.
100% Thanks for watching!
Look at how Nippy’s voice just glow every time she sings with CeCe !!! 😍🥹🥹 friendship goals!
Hell yeah !!!!!!
Yes, they were vocal fraternal twins. Both such beautiful souls!
So hard to believe Whitney has been gone for 12 years. RIP to the Queen of Pop. We will always love you ❤️
Yes, rest Whitney. Thanks for watching!
Look at Brandy react to Whitney’s churchy run! She loves that woman!! 😂 15:11
lmaooo Brandy said "ASHABALA!!"
😂❤
Yup
Whitney sounds so great here compared to the actual performance at the Grammys!’ I love it I wish everyone saw this ❤
Agree 100%
Apparently she was sick here and it got worse by the actual show.
CC said that Whitney was going thru something on the day of the live show. She also said during rehearsals she held The Queen Of Soul at bay with her powerful voice.
@@bmac2310When/where did she say this?
Whitney was known to often often overdo it in rehearsal and at showtime her voice would not be at optimal level
I miss Whitney! The industry today needs her. Back when she was alive the girls had to learn to sing fr with her on the scene
The industry destroyed her. Clive got paid when she passed.
People sometimes forget that these artist are real people who get nervous too and there’s always a different energy when a performance is live and there’s a crowd of people in the audience with excitement and expectations. It hits different.
Whitney was only 33-34 here. Thank you so much whoever posted this.
34
Whitney is 33 here. She turned 33 in August 1996. This is 1997 which means She would be turning 34 in August 1997
@@soubeautiful7066wow so she was only 33 when recording Cinderella as the fairy god mother?? Always thought she was older in that role. Probably because I was only 10 😂
@@notyouraveragebear9326 right! lol same here
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Brandy was nothing to play with back then. She was holding her own singing along grown women. SING BRANDY!!
Whitney was a straight up church girl!! It.
Was all in her bones. R I.P.🌹
That's what I keep telling folks.. Whitney was stone cold in the church, and Cissy sang back up for Elvis. Dinner is her cousin. And aretha as god mama! I ❤ IT!! What a combination!
She was about to take us to church at the end of the video! I wish it didn't end!
Whitney & Brandy's relationship was so beautiful!
It was until that note and her little brother got involved
@@nesq4104 the note didn’t change the fact that their relationship was beautiful. Please grow up.

@@nesq4104 Just because Whitney handed her a note doesn’t mean Brandy’s guilty of anything. Just say you hate her & keep it pushing. You sound dumb.
@@nesq4104 Brandy had nothing to do with anything. She was simply handed a note. Please get professional help. Immediately.
I love this whole video. Brandys little outfit was so cute too! It screams 90’s! Chile she was singing too!!!
Brandy sounded great as usually. That’s one of my favorite songs of hers! ❤❤❤
Me too ❤
Whitney loved to take it to church… that was her heart
God bless whoever posted this! Whitney sounded better here than the main event.
Sure did! As always ❤
So sad she didn’t really shone on the actual night
I read she was sick on that live telecast thus struggling to hit notes and bit raspy.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
i prefer this rehearsal to the live
!!
Me too❤
Whitney was sick during the live telecast thus her vocals were raspy and struggling to hit notes.
By the mid 90s, Whitney’s lifestyle was taking a toll on her voice.
I love Whitney’s music but at this point it was 50/50 on whether she was going to be amazing or struggle through the song.
Sometime it can be too rehearse the live version shows more tightness and structure.
There’s something about cece that brings out the best in Whitney … each time they sing together Whitney seems so relax n happy … the love between them is just …..❤
Whitney loved EVERYBODY.🥹🥹🥹
When Mary steps out on stage baby. Whole mood just changed
Brandy & Whitney 🥺💜
Brandy’s tone has always been so good. And Mary was pure soul here.
This is the Whitney I knew, luv, and want to always remember for her GOD given talent at its prime! We lost a good 1, but like all the 'GREATS' that have come & gone👼...Life here on earth is only temporary, and it's up2 US to leave a powerful & positive impact 🖤
U DO NOT KNOW WHITNEY. Be quiet 😊
CeCe's voice is so powerful! Goodness!
Listening to these songs I immediately connected them...this is the soundtrack of Waiting to Exhale! 😊❤ I love these songs and the movie! RIH Ms Whitney! 😢🙏🏾 I loved Brandy and her connection! ❤
Mary killed it
She did DEFINITELY! Chaka is a disrespectful woman!
For whatever reason she doesn't sounds the same.

SANG BRANDY!!!
You can tell how much Whitney loved Cece...
Whitney sustained the Eb5 compared to the live. This was actually better
I know right she was sick live.
Or high?
@@motivatenow no she was sick as said by cece
Love seeing Whitney and Brandy together!
CeCe Winans is nothing to play with. She seems to let go and free flow in rehearsals but is more disciplined during live television production.
I noticed that too. I love seeing Whitney & CeCe together!!
Her voice is huge!
They were such a strong tandem! Whitney was so comfortable on stage with her!
On her voice was on fire during live performance as well

👑 MARY JANE BLIGE!!!! 👑 came in and literally CHANGED the whole atmosphere after Brandy -Floored her ! Big Soul Queen!
Alright nii Mary J. Blige!!
CeCe said to Whitney on the “count on” round when Whitney does that little lilt, “that’s you…” 😂❤
To caught Brandy without braids during this time was unheard of😂
She is wearing braids
Amazing footage. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
I thought I’ve already seen the best performance of Exhale! But this one tops them all!
Whitney sounds better here than in the actual performance.
THANK YOU❤
It's like Whitney was welcoming them into her home.

Every time Whitney opened her mouth to sing, it was like a performance. Hit record… Lol
I wonder when this rehearsal was compared to the actual show.
Whitney sounded very good here.

❤❤❤❤❤ need more of happy whitney videos always
4:50 time stamp. Look how Whitney is producing the segment letting them know which singers should come in & when
thanku, please share more Whitney
Whitney!!! The church hop at the end 😂😂😂
😂 so funny 😂
What a blessing to see this
Whitney was sick during the actual Grammy show which is why this rehearsal sounds a lil better.
She was a true performer because it was in her blood.
this is so cool!!!! love all these women so much. whitney you are missed.
This gave me chills❤
And she killed that 1:57-2:01. What?!?!? ❤
Whitney and Cece singing playfully is all
Wow this is incredible! Also, Whitney's voice was much stronger during rehearsal compared to the actual performance. Maybe she came down with something a day or two later which impacted her voice. Still an amazing performance and the rehearsal is legendary
CeCe’s voice is the only voice that is comparable to Whitney’s, which is why I believe they meshed so well singing together.
in what world???
Whitney sounds great and vibrant here. Her voice has a clarity and assurance that were somewhat missing in the actual performance. Loved when she sang free of expectations - she just sang and it was always beautiful
Whitney, so gorgeous ❤the Voice. It hurts my heart ♥️
Yes. We miss Whitney. Thanks for watching!
Whitney Elizabeth Houston "Queen of the Mic"
yes!
BRANDY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know! Right?!
Hahaha, Whitney is playing here. But it's good to see that she had a great time at the rehearsal.
Omg!! Do you have more rare content (of Whitney) that you may share with us?
God I PRAY one day I can be in the mist / mix on stage hugging different ones just like this & us all taking turns singing 😩
