not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can stream all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last few months xD
I love both Whitney and Mariah and I don't compare them at all cause they're equal when it comes to talent. You're free to have your opinion, but to say she's "deep" and better at that than Mariah is just opinionated. I also feel when Mariah sings. They both make me feel but in a different way but you're free to have your opinion I just don't really really when certain people lift someone than bring someone else's down. That's all.
For me, saying she has an edge hasnt brought Mariah down in any way. I just prefer whitneys doesnt mean i dont listen to or like Mariahs. Thanks for respecting my opinion any way cos i havent and will never force it on anyone.
Whitney was so humble. She bragged on her “Aunt ReRe” and really respected Aretha and Aretha always loved Whitney. I love that they had that connection. My 2 favorite voices. RIP ladies.
One thing I love about Whitney personally is however huge her career got, she always paid her dues and made a point of praising those great influences that shaped her, one of which was of course Aretha. Aretha also acknowleged Whitney's immense talent. So often the industry pits stars against each other but they had nothing but respect for each other (likewise Dionne) and it was sweet. Even Whitney and Mariah became friends in the end despite the media contriving a rivalry between them. Behind the diva facade she was a nice lady with a kind heart I miss her a lot!
Whitney and Luther have the best, most perfect pitch and tone of any voices that I ever heard. Other singers may have more "soul" and ability to manipulate their voices, but these two are the best pure voices in my opinion
@@JaySmith-mz7vg it was Aretha. He stated it many times. He carried the "Lady Soul" album with him when he would walk to school and his most famous signature "ghost run" he emulated after ReRe, who started it in the 70's. But for sure Dionne was one of his favorites too, he loved her as do I.
Both Whitney and Mariah revere Aretha. So basically, Aretha gave birth to an entire industry. Indeed, the greatest female singer in history. 2:49 Whitney must've been lucky to hear Aretha recording Ain't No Way in studio.
Wow, I love this. I love the way she talked about her. Humble. They both paid so much respect to each other. I love it. Black women, uplifting each other. The two greatest vocalist ever. Hands Down
I definitely understand what Whitney talks about when it comes to Aretha's ability to move you. I mean.. if Aretha is sassy in a song, I feel sassy too. If Aretha is going up yonder and taking me to church, I'm going up yonder too. If she's fed up, I'm fed up too. Lol She definitely moves me. As for Whitney, she stills/humbles me because I'm always in awe that God could give someone such a monumental voice. Truly unforgettable. Both are missed but I'm grateful they left some things behind.
Aretha in a league of her own! No one & I mean no one could sing across all the different genre's like she did, just that in itself sets her apart. RIP Queen of Soul.
Maybe you would now stop seeing Whitney as a threat to Aretha and understand that she idolised the woman and sang her tributes everywhere. Unlike you , Whitney had taste
What made these two ladies so powerful was the lyrics of their songs they knew how to sing them...the joy of hearing them sing was a bless for you a I truth be told the mole was broken after these two ladies were created.....God bless their souls...R.I.P Aretha& Whitney.....you all will never die because the music that you all left behind will live in our hearts forever and always....
Both Were Amazing Vocalist & Songwriter ❤️ Whitney Adored Aretha Franklin ❤️ Whitney Houston had a Beautiful Spirit 💕💗💕 RIH Whitney Houston RIH Aretha Franklin
No way(!) Whitney's vox prettier than Aretha's. Its just that Aretha's best "sweetest" years for her voice were already over by the time of the real video age. Don't Let Me Lose This Dream; Daydreaming; Tracks of My Tears; Elusive Butterfly. Not just power; but real pretty. But hey--Whitney forever!
Whitney had vocal range and clarity in her voice - and it was tempered with soul. Aretha was PURE SOUL. You could never have Whitney without Aretha...But Aretha existed before Whitney was ever created!
Lodo Grdzak no I think Whitney still had a far warmer and bell-like voice than Aretha, Aretha had more soul and blues in her voice, a colder one that suits Soul. Not to mention Whitney's headvoice is far better.
You went way above and beyond your expectations of making people feel what you sing. I'm sure there are some angels who stepped aside just to hear her sing for them. I wouldn't be surprised if some were rolling their eyes! They get rank and we get blessings that comes from God himself!
RIP to two Queens. Thank you for everything you gave us. Your music continues to move the world & will continue for generations to come. You will never be forgotten. Never.
For all of you people out there that is still comparing The Queen 🤴 of Soul with any other singer,listen to one of the greats talk about Aretha Franklin 😊❤❤❤
Typical that people would create drama where drama does not exist. Aretha and Whitney are two phenomenal vocalist with an array of musical talent. They are absolutely icons of their respective Eras. Whitney's mother Cissy Houston is an outstanding vocalist and has been a backup vocalist to Aretha for almost her entire career. Cissy and Aretha are very close, so why create drama where drama does not exist. I have heard aretha and whitney say nothing but positive things about one another, so again why the negativity. Nothing new here. Every Great has a quality of diva including Patti, Céline, Diana so Please stop Perpetuating this discord narrative between aretha and Whitney and allow The world to see these two woman as the great musical pillars that they were!
I was going to write PREACH too. This is the most sense spoken on this thread. There can be more than one great; as a society we have this obsession with listing things in order. There is beauty everywhere and greatest in many voices that come from the soul.
I agree. Joy Henry people are always creating unnecessary drama between these two great legends. It is nasty and in many cases is a mere reflection of there negative perception on how they view life around them. Unhealthy egos are present everywhere. There is nothing wrong with being competitive. However, if you have ti feel like it is necessary to run a race at every turn and you do it at in a way in which you are side stepping and stomping on your opponent, you might want to look in the mirror. The unhealthy ego is what is killing us as a people. Appreciate one first rather than throwing your #1 in everyone else's face.
This is what Black people do to each other. They compare each other to create mess, and foolishness. We as a people really need to wake up and start to love each other again. Aretha earned her crown as Queen of soul, being a gospel singer, and an R & B singer, and could sing anything, and a woman who has won more escalates than any female singer, and most males. People always try to put down those who came first, and in many times was the greatest. I love Whitney Houston, and she also adored and loved Aretha, but no one, not no one, can take away the fact that Aretha had more success, and was a woman who had dignity, and respect for herself, and others. She was also a woman who believed in herself, and the black community, and never forgot who she was, or where she came from.
Vocally I think the best way to essentially describe the difference between Whitney and Aretha is to describe the difference between a pastor and a preacher.
Whitney has had a blessed voice that God had blessed in what she did ,God gives us what we have.☺thanks to you for sending me the videos that you do.You have been blessed as well from God with your talent,Have a nice day.🤗
Yeah, Whitney was one of her idols, but for the record you should know that her ultimate music idol is Barbra Streisand! But anyways, she spoke highly of Aretha, Barbra, Whitney, Christina, and Adele; just some of the best voices in the world, including (Celine) herself 🥰
@@jaycastro07 I'm surprised to hear that...I know early in Celine's career she did covers of many Whitney Houston songs...but Celine did have that beautiful collaboration with Barbara so I really can't say...but Celine has excellent taste...her, Whitney, and Mariah aren't called the Vocal Trinity for nothing...
I adore, love respect and miss Whitney Houston. Her and I are the exact same age. I purchased all of her records in her early years. But please folks! There is no one equal to Aretha Franklin. Most people compare Aretha at age 60 to Mid 70's to Whitney Houston. You have to go back and look at Aretha from her early age through mid thirties For a fair comparison. Actually there's no comparison necessary here. Both were kissed by God! All hail the Queen of soul miss Aretha Franklin!!!!
Let's not forget Aretha had hits for 4 decades, maybe 5. R&B and Gospel. How many Hall of fame is she in? Look at how many Awards she have accomplished people. Young people go research and stop this nonsense. Aretha Franklin earned the title of her name. Queen...
Nice 👍🏽 compilation. Aretha Franklin- legend of an era, barrier breaker, door opener! Whitney Houston- best female vocalist of all time. Fantasia Barrino- Queen 👑 of Soul! Mic 🎤 drop.
Oto kage.. Whitney Houston is called the VOICE. Remember sir she is the greatest voice of all.. Sorry but being called the VOICE she earned that title all the people in music industry called her that so it does matter to me and her fans and her peers. That's a title that only she have so I'm sure it meant alot to her as well.
Soul.... something that God gave to melaninted people...soul!!! Specially when you listen to a choir we move mountains!!!!! It's a fact that we observe sound throw our skin 🕊❤️
Whitney ALWAYS had incredibly nice things to say about Aretha, she really was one of her idols. However, I don't think Aretha was always so respectful of Whitney. According to Narada Michael Walden who produced Whitney and Arethas duet, he said Aretha came into the studio with an attitude towards a young Whitney, and was really quite mean to her. I can only put it down to jealously as at that time in the late 80s, Whitney was the IT GIRL! And was far more popular than Aretha.
JDhappy81 I saw it. Even when Whitney had passed she still was like she didn't know how much Whitney really loved her. WH always has. But, AF was always a butch to her.
THY KINGDOM COME THY WILL BE DONE Yes, I agree. Even in death, she did not bother to attend Whitney's funeral stating she was 'ill', yet she performed a show that very same night. It was truly disrespectful!
Westin Taylor Yes, I think she was also jealous of Whitney's model looks.. to be honest I think she was jealous of many people who looked better/thinner than she did. She actually comes over as quite a bitter woman.
JDhappy81 I read a biography written by the co-author of Aretha's 1999 memoir and one of Aretha's sisters talked about how mean Ree was to Natalie Cole when she debuted in the 70's. Like Whitney Natalie always spoke highly of Aretha and referenced her as one of her biggest musical influences, but Aretha was so pissed about the press dubbing Natalie the "new Aretha" that she flat out ignored her at an awards show. Aretha is talented and very accomplished but she's so insecure. It's sad.
what ya'll saying are just hearsay, the only thing aretha really said about whitney is that, they aren't close friends, but she is a close friend of her mother cissy which is very understandable because of the age gap. And we all know ree doesn't like making new friends. Aretha may not revered Whitney when nippy was still alive, but she has always been respectful. Fans just have this fantasy that great singers flock together. They have a life.
I think the interviewer said to Whitney that she was Aretha's equal. Now, wait a minute no one is equal to the Queen although Whitney Houston is one of my favorites, too. She is outstanding and can belt out those lyrics but being equal is not what she is to Aretha. The Queen is in her own zone. I heard one person says that she creates the zone.
There is a debate about Jordan being the Greatest.And his name is Wilt Chamberlain.How many times did Jordan score 100 points in a game or pull down 55 rebounds in a game? The numbers don't lie.Long live the name of the true Basketball King...Lord Chamberlain.
I think some of the comments below are very nasty and mean and people should not say bad ulgy unkind words about Aretha or Whitney they were two of the greatest female artist that ever lived along with Stephanie Mills
There will NEVER be another singer that could do what whitney did. And I am not just talking about the god given pipes (THE VOICE). I mean in general she had it all! The voice, the beauty, (modeling) the presence, the acting, the class and elegance! Aretha is a very good singer but she does not compare to whitney.
THY KINGDOM COME THY WILL BE DONE Oh absolutley! THERE was just something almost supernatural about Whitney's voice but then again as a gift from God it really couldn't be anything less could it? 😍
Aretha is one the greatest vocalist ever, you have it twisted Whitney was a very good singer but could never compare to Aretha, which is the reason she always struggled to get through an Aretha song, she didn't have the equipment to match up to the Queen of Soul. And I love Whitney but let's not spread lies
its a pity Whitney was so fond of Aretha and spoke so highly of her but Aretha was so jealous of Whitney, she never said anything that great about Whitney the way other artists did. i suppose the response on the "equals" part says it all....
The claims that Aretha was jealous of Whitney are merely hearsay and completely unfounded. There's zero evidence. In fact, there's only evidence that points to the opposite-- that she admired Whitney, and especially since she was close friends with her mother, Cissy.
Wow! It’s so weird wen u realize someone like Whitney was a new artist at some point and was influenced by someone. I wonder who were Aretha’s influences if she even had any 😂
Whitney Houston was a dynamic singer who stood out from the others beyond singers like Mariah, Celine and the like. But as much as I love Whitney and her beautiful voice, she doesnt stand out as far as Aretha does. I think its because Aretha defined an entire era much like Elvis, and Dylan did, or the Stones, or MJ. She is just one of the pillars of an era, and one would have to be pretty mighty to be in such a position. With that said, I do think Aretha was envious of Whitneys popularity which was at an all time high. That fact surprises me because Aretha has gone as far foward in recognition, achievement, and pure talent than virtually anyone just about. Jealously is a funny thing. It's been my experience that the ones who are the most jealous really have nothing to be jealous of. Its plain insecurity, and not seeing yourself the way others might. It was like that with Frank Sinatra. Even though he was the leader of the Rat Pack, monumentally recognized as a great singer beyond imagination, he was still very jealous of Ella Fitzgerald's status and how she excites a crowd with her diverse skillset in vocal acrobatics. In my opinion, Ella was better and she improvised. That doesnt take away from Sinatra. They are just different singers interpreting the same songs different ways. Aretha is just sensitive, and once you're tops, it is a heavy burden to remain tops. And she is surely at the top, and she has been there a very long time and continues to be.

I love Whitney’s speaking voice. It’s so soothing and calming. I miss you Queen
Whitney speaks of Aretha the way most artist today speak of her. Whitney idolized her "'Aunt ReRe".
Unfortunately the comparison ends here.
And Aretha hated Whitney
not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can stream all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last few months xD
@Ty Jude definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)
@@DatBxtchJ4y Why you say she hated Whitney?
We have lost true talent these two women were like no other. RIP Aretha and Whitney.
Amen
Ok
I couldn't of said it better
Whitney certainly achieved this: When Whitney sings live, it really makes people to have an emotional connection, VERY few singers can do this.
You couldn't have said this better!
Whitney definitely succeeded with touching us with her voice. R.I.P Legend 😯
Watch 0.51 where she said she wanted to make people feel when she sings, Whitney you did succeed in doing that!!! We all feel it.
Carlos Wagner.yeah! thats d edge she has over Mariah Carey. Shes deep.
I love both Whitney and Mariah and I don't compare them at all cause they're equal when it comes to talent. You're free to have your opinion, but to say she's "deep" and better at that than Mariah is just opinionated. I also feel when Mariah sings.

@@carloswagner6895 when I hear Mariah it makes me feel.....
Like turning the radio off.
You know you're old when late 90s moments are considered classics
her voice was so sweet and soft. i would've never thought she could belt out such powerful vocals
omg she was so well spoken
longbranch11207 yes..i can listen to her interviews all day!
A good education will do that.
And gorgeous as well.
longbranch11207 good actress to 😁

Whitney made a point to praise Martha Wash. Martha was truly an unsung singer and that was one of the true travesties of the music business.
Aretha will forever remain the "Queen of Soul"
Whitney and Luther have the best, most perfect pitch and tone of any voices that I ever heard. Other singers may have more "soul" and ability to manipulate their voices, but these two are the best pure voices in my opinion
Both Luther and Whitney's favorite singer is Aretha Franklin.

no one is better than Tina Turner she is ultimate
I said the same... those high notes Sissy Houston hit was phenomenal. Aretha made a classic with that one

They were the supreme singers of the last 60 years. Different sounds but a power and a range that place them in their own sphere
💯❤❤
Aretha was a kind of maternal figure to Whitney. I cannot believe both of them are gone!
Aretha in a league of her own! No one & I mean no one could sing across all the different genre's like she did, just that in itself sets her apart. RIP Queen of Soul.
Uno it not to mention she also killed on the piano
Lady gaga can out sing her

Love you forever my queen!! You didn’t have one jealous bone in your body and you were way above your class ♥️👑
@Blondie dag Whitney Houston wasn't shady but she could RRAD you like no one else
Whitney NEVER hated on another female singer for their TALENT. She gave credit where it was due, and didn’t give credit where it WASN’T. 👀🤷🏾♂️😊
RIP Whitney and Aretha
Now they are home together in heaven tearing the heavenly choir up
Whitney has impeccable taste lol because Aretha is my life.
Edward Wheeler: God should be your life.

Whitney is Queen of Ballad
Als Garden Vinyl Dame near Queen because she added soul and could sing just about anything. Have song everything.
I thought Whitney was the queen of pop
Not really. Whitney Houston is the queen of RnB/Pop. Celine is the one who sings mostly ballads
Celine is the Queen of Ballads; Power Ballads specifically
It's funny how she talks about aretha is how I would talk about Whitney

you brainwashed
they were selected just like presidents
Aretha was Whitneys god mother.

According to Narada Michael Walden who produced Whitney and Arethas duet, he said Aretha came into the studio with an attitude towards a young Whitney, and was really quite mean to her. I can only put it down to jealously as at that time in the late 80s, Whitney was the IT GIRL! And was far more popular than Aretha.
JDhappy81 I saw it. Even when Whitney had passed she still was like she didn't know how much Whitney really loved her. WH always has. But, AF was always a butch to her.
THY KINGDOM COME THY WILL BE DONE Yes, I agree. Even in death, she did not bother to attend Whitney's funeral stating she was 'ill', yet she performed a show that very same night. It was truly disrespectful!
Westin Taylor Yes, I think she was also jealous of Whitney's model looks.. to be honest I think she was jealous of many people who looked better/thinner than she did. She actually comes over as quite a bitter woman.
JDhappy81 I read a biography written by the co-author of Aretha's 1999 memoir and one of Aretha's sisters talked about how mean Ree was to Natalie Cole when she debuted in the 70's. Like Whitney Natalie always spoke highly of Aretha and referenced her as one of her biggest musical influences, but Aretha was so pissed about the press dubbing Natalie the "new Aretha" that she flat out ignored her at an awards show. Aretha is talented and very accomplished but she's so insecure. It's sad.
Sadly, Aretha's like that to a lot of other female singers, too. Natalie Cole knew that story very well.
fly high beauties!!
Damn you Bobby Brown. What a loss, she was such a radiant beauty
What? Whitney was on drugs before she even met Bobby. You should be blaming her older brother....he got his sister into drugs
3:22 lol the church came out
Miss them both! Rip
what ya'll saying are just hearsay, the only thing aretha really said about whitney is that, they aren't close friends, but she is a close friend of her mother cissy which is very understandable because of the age gap. And we all know ree doesn't like making new friends. Aretha may not revered Whitney when nippy was still alive, but she has always been respectful. Fans just have this fantasy that great singers flock together. They have a life.
Beautiful video
I think the interviewer said to Whitney that she was Aretha's equal. Now, wait a minute no one is equal to the Queen although Whitney Houston is one of my favorites, too. She is outstanding and can belt out those lyrics but being equal is not what she is to Aretha. The Queen is in her own zone. I heard one person says that she creates the zone.
Like Michael Jordan, Aretha being the GOAT is NOT up for debate. Case closed
agree Aretha was everything singer civil rights activist philanthropist
that Afro and head wraps wow have us PRIDE
the furs gowns purses
oh my
You Damn Right!!!!!
Ok boomer😂 I'd like to appeal this case.
Exhibit #1:
"If the voice is a musical instrument, hers is a Stradivarius."-Time magazine on Whitney Houston
There is a debate about Jordan being the Greatest.And his name is Wilt Chamberlain.How many times did Jordan score 100 points in a game or pull down 55 rebounds in a game? The numbers don't lie.Long live the name of the true Basketball King...Lord Chamberlain.
Whitney was the best singer. Anyone else bye.👋🏾
Iconic
I think some of the comments below are very nasty and mean and people should not say bad ulgy unkind words about Aretha or Whitney they were two of the greatest female artist that ever lived along with Stephanie Mills
There will NEVER be another singer that could do what whitney did. And I am not just talking about the god given pipes (THE VOICE). I mean in general she had it all! The voice, the beauty, (modeling) the presence, the acting, the class and elegance! Aretha is a very good singer but she does not compare to whitney.
John Palermo Aretha is a more soulful emotional feeling envoking better voice.....
John Palermo True most people won't be able to swallow that. I love her very much but I'm sorry Whitney got it.
Anthony Stone Bullshit 😂
THY KINGDOM COME THY WILL BE DONE Oh absolutley! THERE was just something almost supernatural about Whitney's voice but then again as a gift from God it really couldn't be anything less could it? 😍
Aretha is one the greatest vocalist ever, you have it twisted Whitney was a very good singer but could never compare to Aretha, which is the reason she always struggled to get through an Aretha song, she didn't have the equipment to match up to the Queen of Soul. And I love Whitney but let's not spread lies
WH loved AF but AF was loving only her self
Think whitney surpassed Aretha but Aretha always will be the Queen of soul.
You have to be Crazy. Whinty has no soul. She could never pass the best singer ever! The queen of soul, Aretha can sing all music!
Surpassed her in what exactly, record sales only, but vocally Aretha has no rivals.
Whitney was Aka cute woman,Rip
Like seriously people commenting about AF where you all should be giving some respect of her death!!.
It was an act!
Lol... 1:45 "her equal" whitney= DONT TELL HER... she knew her aunt Re wasn't gonna like that lol...
its a pity Whitney was so fond of Aretha and spoke so highly of her but Aretha was so jealous of Whitney, she never said anything that great about Whitney the way other artists did. i suppose the response on the "equals" part says it all....
The claims that Aretha was jealous of Whitney are merely hearsay and completely unfounded. There's zero evidence. In fact, there's only evidence that points to the opposite-- that she admired Whitney, and especially since she was close friends with her mother, Cissy.
Wow! It’s so weird wen u realize someone like Whitney was a new artist at some point and was influenced by someone. I wonder who were Aretha’s influences if she even had any 😂
Mahalia Jackson, Sara Vaughan, Sam Cooke etc
Pop Land who were their influences 😏...it just goes in an endless cycle. I wonder who was the first in that cycle....
+One Dollar Bleach I actually don't know who their influences were. That's a really good question, I'm going to look into you
Pop Land awww thanks

Now they are both gone, so very sad.
Whitney Houston was a dynamic singer who stood out from the others beyond singers like Mariah, Celine and the like. But as much as I love Whitney and her beautiful voice, she doesnt stand out as far as Aretha does. I think its because Aretha defined an entire era much like Elvis, and Dylan did, or the Stones, or MJ. She is just one of the pillars of an era, and one would have to be pretty mighty to be in such a position. With that said, I do think Aretha was envious of Whitneys popularity which was at an all time high. That fact surprises me because Aretha has gone as far foward in recognition, achievement, and pure talent than virtually anyone just about. Jealously is a funny thing. It's been my experience that the ones who are the most jealous really have nothing to be jealous of. Its plain insecurity, and not seeing yourself the way others might. It was like that with Frank Sinatra. Even though he was the leader of the Rat Pack, monumentally recognized as a great singer beyond imagination, he was still very jealous of Ella Fitzgerald's status and how she excites a crowd with her diverse skillset in vocal acrobatics. In my opinion, Ella was better and she improvised. That doesnt take away from Sinatra. They are just different singers interpreting the same songs different ways. Aretha is just sensitive, and once you're tops, it is a heavy burden to remain tops. And she is surely at the top, and she has been there a very long time and continues to be.
