I think all Whitney fans can agree this is one of the best performances Nippy EVER delivered, incredible vocals, stage presence and charisma...no cringe-worthy dancing here!
This was her "in case you forgot who I is.." moment in the early 90s when they were trying to write her off when stars like Paula, Milli Vanilli and C&C Music Fraudery were in ascendence. Absolute Diva level performance.
@@mariacamarena2645 They did but they actually kept comparing Mariah to her. It wasn’t until they started seeing Mariah on tour and live that they immediately stopped and knew it was no comparison cause Whitney was the strongest singer of the two and best live performer.
@@I-AM-BELIEVERNow you don’t need to lie like that because the comparisons didn’t stop until they did their duet. Mariah’s performances had no indication that she couldn’t sing live, and they even praised her Daydream tour specifically for replicating the sound of her studio vocals. And she ended up being the best selling artist of the decade. 😅
I have never seen a singer challenge a background vocalist. But she did! She knew they could all sing. And that band could play. All respect to Whitney and those that worked with her. I am blessed by all y'all did. Her passing is deep. But her gifts are many. And God is faithful!
That's not "battling" it's call and response. It's a singing technique learned in Black Baptist churches. Any number of traditional gospel groups and singers have done the same thing. Diana Ross did it with her Supremes, Gladys did it with her Pips, and Aretha and Patti do it too, most notably, Aretha and Celine did it at Divas Live.
Rapture folds Whitney also did it with Natalie Cole during the closing credits of the NAACP Image Awards in ‘89 after singing Hold Up the Light w/Bebe and Cece.
After the vocal exchange towards the end(about 5:11) she brings that arm down to signal the music to kick back in she is so OWNING that stage and feeling it. Her stage presence is beyond magnetic.
jimmy jam, If the band didn't want to play, for any reason, they'd be fired, and justifiably so. Whitney did own the stage. In fact, Whitney owned every stage that she ever performed on. If the musicians want recognition, they should go out and make a name for themselves like vocalists and other musicians do.
Whitney killed this performance. She accomplished everything she was trying to do with the choreography, the theatrics and the incredible never changing live vocals
She was paying homage to Judy Garland but she chose to not wear a fedora like Judy had with the oversized tux coat. Whitney killed it!!! Yaheeyaheeah I wanna know whooooooooooooo!!!!
That is the WHITNEY wig. This look is my first memory when I realized she was a "thing"...actually "EVERYTHING"...even as a 4 year-old kid back then. She was something else, and for those people who were alive and able to hear her sing live between 1985 and 1994 witnessed an inimitable phenomenon. There'll never be another one.
Whitney's videos from that era are the only ones on youtube with 99% positive comments. I just love reading them! If only she knew how much people loved and still love her!
She knew she was well loved and followed. An interviewer (Giuliana Rancic) said to her “You know you have a strong following don’t you?” and Whitney quickly said “Yes!” She knew but the tone in which she said “Yes!” It was audible that she respected and appreciated her following. You gotta love Her Royal Vocal Highness The Queen The Lady Miss Whitney Elizabeth Houston!
For me, Whitney was it! When she first grace the TV screen I was forever smitten now and forever. she was the epitome of womanhood. I am forever heartbroken over our tremendous loss we suffer in the Black community as well as the world. She was music her talent was undeniable as well as beauty. We had lost so many great artists over the years it doesn't get any easier. When you have been a fan as long as they been around it like losing a part of your family. I am missing you like crazy Whit! Forever heartbroken & Forever a Fan!
Have always loved this performance. Whitney can't even stop smiling. She's having so much fun and she knows she's killing it. This was Whitney at her prime, no one could out perform her.
I liked her rehearsal version she did at the Saturday night live studio..her voice seemed slightly deeper by this performance versus that one where her voice was higher crystal clear and she hit all the top notes with less strain...but still loved this one..if you haven't I recommend you listen to it..also she did 2 versions of all the man I need in that same rehearsal beautifully
5:25 That ending part with all those dancers, Whitney, and the kid - I just wonder how many times they had to practice that so they wouldn't screw that up. If anyone was a step out of beat, that could've been a disaster. But Whitney and her team were PROS' pros, so it's not surprising. I think this performance is totally underrated amongst all in her career. Not a step or moment out of place, and FLAWLESS vocals.
That's our girl.. The Queen!! I'd love to see Christina or one the other popular ones now try to sing live like this ..with the dancing thrown in too which Whitney was not even known for........ but girlfriend could shake it down when she wanted to. she was the best!
Just the best singer ever. I watched the American Music Awards this year. Sad. Dick Clark created them. He is gone. Whitney. Michael. Too many. Where did live singing and good music go?
Whitney's 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' album won all the top r&b categories at 1991 Billboard Music Awards! #1 Top R&B Album #1 Top R&B Artist #1 Top R&B Album and Singles Sales Artist #1 Top R&B Singles Artist #1 Top R&B Adult Contemp/Airplay Artist
BOOOM! Whitney was absolute FIRE here! 🔥⚡😍👌 And of course the band, the backing singers and the dancers (including the little kid) were all on point! A class act all round. That sparring moment with her backing singer was immense! I love the funky house arrangements here too, makes me wish Whitney had actually done a proper house/dance album in the 90s becase she would have nailed those genres just as she did all the others.
She is so beautiful! Her outfit was to die for on this performance and she sang her ass off as always whitney never lets you down ever even in her later years she never let me down no matter what she went through she always sung live anybody else would have lip sync she gave us all of her im a true fan till the very end and still today miss u nippy
SUPER, SUPER , SUPER POWERFUL VOICE" HANDS DOWN" NO ONE, NO ONE, can ever match this POWERFUL DIVA . the high and low notes, the rift and runs ," oh my GOD" a Gift from GOD" EXTRA ORDINARY. " EXTRA SPECIAL.... that BIG ROARING and POWERFUL VOICE Blew me away.!!!! i miss you Whitney STORM Houston. the VOCAL BEAST." this is what future singers need to simulate, live and so pure.
MUSICAL and VOCAL ROYALTY. The Golden Standard many tried to emulate and achieve, yet so few can ever come not even close. What a void we have today in music.
This is my favorite Whitney performance of all time and I don’t know why no one is mad at me for that are they does anyone agree with me are we on the same page.
I kept rewinding @ 5:31 over & over & over again! That entire performance was 🤯 as always BUT I’m not sure who has to do it, a reel with a constant rewind of @ 5:31 will drive you crazy in a good way RIP Whitney, Krissy & Cissy 🙇🎀
What’s interesting about this performance it that it was early 92. I’m Your Baby Tonight had done just okay, Mariah Carey was the new “it girl” & Whitney seemed to be losing steam. By the end of this year The Bodyguard hit, I Will Always Love You hit & Whitney reached levels no one even thought possible. Miss you Whitney 😢
@@ultimategaming1441 But then after I’m your baby tonight went to number 1, her 2nd single “all the man I need” went to #1 as well and then she did the Star Spangled Banner at the super bowl. Whitney never lost her steam during that time and then the bodyguard just took her to a different level.
This is what a powerful voice sounds like: good control, pitch-perfect whether soft or loud, and it commands. Although the background singer is good, she sounds like a back ground singer. Fans of Patti Labelle take note. She lacks control and pitch/tone perfection, but she has a loud voice.
I remember recording this performance when I was a kid. Whitney tore the house down at the AMAs. It was an honor as an adult to perform on the same stage while Whitney was in the audience :).
I love revisiting this performance. Her voice was on FIRE that night...and she was LOVING every minute of tearing that stage UP!!!!! Am I the only ones who REALLY BELIEVES she is a few weeks pregnant here. Her face on the close up shots is unusually puffy and really resembles how she would look when she became pregnant w/BK. She also looks fuller and curvier under that loose fitting jacket. I'm assuming she was filming...or very close to, The Bodyguard because that's the wig she wore for the film and her miscarriage during filming was well-publicized.

This is an excellent, high energy performance! Vocally, I think this is one of Whitney’s top uptempo performances ranking with her 1986 AMA performance of “How Will I Know” and her 1988 Grammy’s performance of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)”… To address the comments about Whitney losing “steam” with the I’m Your Baby Tonight project, let’s put the facts in perspective in the time period of this performance being completely unbiased. Yes, there were critics that tried to write off her popularity because of the emergence and immediate success of Mariah Carey’s debut album and the high rise popularity of dance music and its’ dominance on Billboard Charts. By 1991, Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, C&C Music Factory, MC Hammer, Blackbox, and other artists were having massive success on radio, clubs, and visual platforms with its appeal to the large group of music buyers. Whitney was a real Singer, whose music was nothing but pure class and not a fad. There are rumors that the I’m Your Baby Tonight Album was made with more R&B influence in response to a reference point of the friction she faced by Black America (research Al Sharpton’s campaign against Whitney Houston) which was displayed at the Soul Train Awards when she first met Bobby Brown either in 1988 or 1989. Yells of boos from the audience whenever her name was called when she was nominated was a blow. However, this album by anyone standards was a successful album in sales and hits with 2 number ones on the Billboard Hot 100, another Top 10 hit with “Miracle”, a Top 40 Hit “My Name is Not Susan”, and Top 10 R&B Hit with “I Belong To You”… Maybe by Arista or Clive Davis expectations, this album did not live up to the previous predecessors in sales, but still a great album. This era produced 4 songs that are apart of my all-time Favorite Whitney songs “Lover For Life, Dancing on a Smooth Edge, I Belong To You, and Feels So Good”. So yes, Whitney did lose “steam” facing competition by peers in the industry. But she stuck to her talents, and that’s what kept her well beloved amongst music listeners However, we would soon come to find out in less than 12 months from this performance, how Whitney reinvented and surpassed her previous popularity with The Bodyguard Soundtrack…
Who said Whitney couldn't dance? She's gettin down right funky right here. Loved the Baby Tonight era.
Ikr! They are just haters
RIGHTT!!!
She didn't need to dance, NOBODY can match her vocals, everything else is window dressing.
And THAT is why she will forever be known as 'The Voice'.
I think all Whitney fans can agree this is one of the best performances Nippy EVER delivered, incredible vocals, stage presence and charisma...no cringe-worthy dancing here!
It is my favorite up-tempo performance for sure
There are too many to decide
Ever noticed how she starts singing before entering? Always in great spirits.
That's because she's "The Voice" 💖😌
This was her "in case you forgot who I is.." moment in the early 90s when they were trying to write her off when stars like Paula, Milli Vanilli and C&C Music Fraudery were in ascendence. Absolute Diva level performance.
Right. And a year later they would all come running back to her when The Bodyguard came out and she cemented her legacy and popularity
Remember, they tried to push her to the side when Mariah Carey came out!
@@mariacamarena2645 They did but they actually kept comparing Mariah to her. It wasn’t until they started seeing Mariah on tour and live that they immediately stopped and knew it was no comparison cause Whitney was the strongest singer of the two and best live performer.

Paula Abdul and C&C Music Factory are great entertainers. You don’t need to bring them down to lift Whitney up as if she needed it.

@@NiPPy3GA hahahah
i mean, the audience is ALREADY applauding and our girl ain't done yet!
I love how she backed up to signal to her male background dancers to come out!! So smooth!!! ❤️
Whitney killed this performance. She accomplished everything she was trying to do with the choreography, the theatrics and the incredible never changing live vocals
ICONIC! Whitney was slaying and looking delicious in that outfit #LEGEND
She was paying homage to Judy Garland but she chose to not wear a fedora like Judy had with the oversized tux coat. Whitney killed it!!! Yaheeyaheeah I wanna know whooooooooooooo!!!!

Oh hell nooo.....this was HER HAIR for sure lol. No joke, it was.
@@flyrye2g No it wasn't it was a wig
Whitney WIG?! What the heck are you talking about?!
That voice, that tone, amazing
Oh my Whitney OWNED that stage.. This is what i miss RIP Angel i love you
Whitney's videos from that era are the only ones on youtube with 99% positive comments. I just love reading them! If only she knew how much people loved and still love her!
tjorrr ,
You can say that again 👍👍👍. Love her so much 💜💜💜

Right? I hate how they also so negative in the comments when you go in other videos! It’s always so very unnecessary.

This is probably my Favorite Whitney performance.
Well for upbeat jams. She walked out and took over that stage!
Diva!
She was FIRE!!!!! So much energy and passion in one perfomance!!!!!
That vocal breakdown gave me my entire LIFE today!
slaaaaaaaaay
Go Mistey go!!! She's the little girl that dances with Whitney. She's also a good friend of mine!

I KNOW SHE WAS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE KNOWN THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME.WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE WHITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As in Misty Copeland?

Whitney is the best singer ever. And Mistey...I Wanna Dance!
Derek Jones Mistey was so cute!
Have always loved this performance. Whitney can't even stop smiling. She's having so much fun and she knows she's killing it. This was Whitney at her prime, no one could out perform her.
Best version of I'm baby tonight
I liked her rehearsal version she did at the Saturday night live studio..her voice seemed slightly deeper by this performance versus that one where her voice was higher crystal clear and she hit all the top notes with less strain...but still loved this one..if you haven't I recommend you listen to it..also she did 2 versions of all the man I need in that same rehearsal beautifully
Live version now on RUclips in Argentina 1994. Real good
I also saw her version on Saturday Night Live. She slays that one too. She's the best

that's a lot of choreography while maintaining flawless un-enhanced vocals. QUEEN
Yes!

indeed. diva could shake.
she is rock!powerfull voice! Diva forever
That's what I'm talking about...do it classy with just a little bit of sassy. I miss my baby.
REspect REceive give me chills
Just the best singer ever. I watched the American Music Awards this year. Sad. Dick Clark created them. He is gone. Whitney. Michael. Too many. Where did live singing and good music go?
she murdered the ending omg
Omg The Voice has done it again I really love her she always has so much energy
Whitney's 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' album won all the top r&b categories at 1991 Billboard Music Awards!
#1 Top R&B Album

#1 Top R&B Album and Singles Sales Artist

Another classic performance. Incredible to think that this was just the beginning of an amazing year for Whitney! Wish it were 1992 all over again.

She betta take them to church on “who do you love” 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I taped this on VHS and watched and rewatched it sooooo many times! Great live performance. But it was 1991, not 1992... just before Bodyguard.
katjamendez this was 1992
She was actually filming the bodyguard at this tim hence the wig and shoes (Oscar scene in movie for the shoes)
@@guymcdonald1269 Definitely early 1992, because the movie was released later that year
It’s during Whitney performances like this that I wish we could see the faces of the other singers in the audience haha. Her voice is on FIRE!!!!
Whitney saaaaaaangg that night!
Man one of her best performances
SUPER, SUPER , SUPER POWERFUL VOICE" HANDS DOWN" NO ONE, NO ONE, can ever match this POWERFUL DIVA . the high and low notes, the rift and runs ," oh my GOD" a Gift from GOD" EXTRA ORDINARY. " EXTRA SPECIAL.... that BIG ROARING and POWERFUL VOICE Blew me away.!!!! i miss you Whitney STORM Houston. the VOCAL BEAST." this is what future singers need to simulate, live and so pure.
I always loved her performance. Her vocals, her charms. She owns the stage. People enjoyed watching her. GREATEST OF ALL TIMES. SIMPLY THE BEST.
YES @ her closing note at 5:31.
Yes!!!!! So effortlessly I been trying to hit it all week lol

This is an excellent, high energy performance! Vocally, I think this is one of Whitney’s top uptempo performances ranking with her 1986 AMA performance of “How Will I Know” and her 1988 Grammy’s performance of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)”…
To address the comments about Whitney losing “steam” with the I’m Your Baby Tonight project, let’s put the facts in perspective in the time period of this performance being completely unbiased. Yes, there were critics that tried to write off her popularity because of the emergence and immediate success of Mariah Carey’s debut album and the high rise popularity of dance music and its’ dominance on Billboard Charts. By 1991, Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, C&C Music Factory, MC Hammer, Blackbox, and other artists were having massive success on radio, clubs, and visual platforms with its appeal to the large group of music buyers. Whitney was a real Singer, whose music was nothing but pure class and not a fad. There are rumors that the I’m Your Baby Tonight Album was made with more R&B influence in response to a reference point of the friction she faced by Black America (research Al Sharpton’s campaign against Whitney Houston) which was displayed at the Soul Train Awards when she first met Bobby Brown either in 1988 or 1989. Yells of boos from the audience whenever her name was called when she was nominated was a blow.
However, this album by anyone standards was a successful album in sales and hits with 2 number ones on the Billboard Hot 100, another Top 10 hit with “Miracle”, a Top 40 Hit “My Name is Not Susan”, and Top 10 R&B Hit with “I Belong To You”…
Maybe by Arista or Clive Davis expectations, this album did not live up to the previous predecessors in sales, but still a great album. This era produced 4 songs that are apart of my all-time Favorite Whitney songs “Lover For Life, Dancing on a Smooth Edge, I Belong To You, and Feels So Good”.
So yes, Whitney did lose “steam” facing competition by peers in the industry. But she stuck to her talents, and that’s what kept her well beloved amongst music listeners
However, we would soon come to find out in less than 12 months from this performance, how Whitney reinvented and surpassed her previous popularity with The Bodyguard Soundtrack…
OMG...i miss me some whitney!!!!
