    Whitney Houston is the reason I'm performing today. Growing up biracial and raised by a primarily white family, Whitney was really the first introduction to Black excellence that I had. I saw myself in her as a glorious person of color who could create such beautiful art and so I began my journey of singing and now I'm in my third year of college getting my degree in Musical Theatre. I owe all the inspiration for my craft to her. Gone way too soon. Glad you both find the magic in her voice too!

    Whitney rehearsed only for the musical arrangements. But vocally most of the notes just came out depending on how she she felt at this precise moment. Matter of fact, her rehearsals (there are a few of them on RUclips) are vocally very different from the actual performances. That's why the band always follow her lead. She continuously directing them with her hand gestures. Whitney is still underrated if you ask me💯

    I have so many live versions of her songs in my library. Even towards her decline her tone was still great.

    All of her facial expression and hands and gestures are very special and unique, too. She does this just naturally not planned. Some plan all the movements and gestures and adlibs. But WH does it naturally. Her rehearsal are totally different from the real stage.

    That performance of ihn, and I'm telling u is from the first night she sold out the radio city music hall in NY for the bodyguard tour, she sold the whole week out this is right after she had Bobbi Kris that's why she's a lil thick and her voice was at its pinnacle as you can hear! Before the tour which was like8 legs. That's why after that tour she didn't sound the same as she does here!

    Ricky Minor Whitney's musical director in the 80's had a lot to with some of her live arrangements including this song. I just love the way the ballads creciendos from a whisper to a booming theatrical ending. It really allowed
    Whitney room to work her magic.

    Palmer - on the Whitney music video DVD she talks about the “Home” debut. The conductor started the song too slow (it was a mistake) but she was going with it. Cissy came in (took over) and starts to speed up the tempo. It’s prob somewhere on YT.

    I highly recommend listening to her live performance of “I am Changing” from Dreamgirls. If you thought “And I am Telling You” was amazing, you will be absolutely FLOORED. She blew the roof off the place.

  • @Bigdrip840

    The funnest thing is people who can't come for her always bring up she didn't write, the Amy of albums she sold she didn't need to and if people look up the history of singers and writers when this all started writers were not singers and singers were not writers. The fact that someone can write and sing came later in radio music. That's why you had a lot of older songs from the 40s 40s and 60s sung by many different artist! The one who made it the biggest hit was the one the song was associated with and 9ties out of 10 the writer was not the singer!

    I’m such a fan of your reviews (both movies & music) BUT always wondered if you would pay tribute to some of the gems & legends from my era (I’m a GenXer)…I have experienced the full arc of these music legends and can testify that the latter generations are truly missing out…NO shade!!😎
    Hoping that you both bless us with more old school reviews like this…starting with the LEGENDARY Luther Vandross!! On behalf of my generation…Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane!!🙏🏽❤️

  • @cptight88
    @cptight88 Год назад +1

    Whitney's version was impeccable, but I still think Stephanie Mills has the young Dorothy feel + the power chops that the song demands and that still gives me chills. And Whitney's label was "AIR ista," not "uh RISTA." ❤
    Her duets with Natalie Cole on a 1990 show called Big Break ("Say A Little Prayer," "Bridge Over Troubled Waters") are life-altering. Never seen WH happier singing with someone else and they both crush these songs.

    I love watching you guys react, but you really have to stop talking while the performance is going on, maybe you can pause if you have something to say. I feel the same as you do about Whitney, and when you two are talking while she’s singing, we can’t hear her so please don’t take offense, it’s just that I really like you guys, and I want to keep watching.

    Nice channel! But you guys talk a little too much during the performances, so people can’t hear what Whitney was saying/singing. I’m sure you aren’t able to hear her sing as well. Maybe you should think about pausing the video during your commentary.

    Nope. "Home" is Stephanie's. Whitney's cover is good, but it doesn't move me the way Stephanie's singing of it does.
    I love Whitney's voice and her live performances were stellar. I think no one can touch her live performances.
    But not on "Home" Matt (...IMO).
