Guys! Should we just do a whole segment on Whitney Houston?! Lol she has so many performances that I haven’t watched that I want to watch and react to! I mean, the voice, the performer, etc. Whitney was THAT GIRL!
I told you, lol. She is the greatest. Even during this time when her voice was declining due to all those concert performances, television performances, cigarettes and drugs-she knew how to give a phenomenal performance. This is why I tell people, with all those issues, Whitney still used her instrument far superior to any other female artist. She literally sat on this stool and poured out her soul and took us along this journey. This song was presented to her way before she recorded it. The studio version is great but as we all know when Whitney sings a song live, she doesn’t want you to hear the album version. She was going through so many personal issues...hence her saying “you make me wanna.....you!!”. She may be gone, but her voice will live forever. She’s the greatest..she’s The Voice.
Alexis Samone Now you have to react to her sing I Am Changing (it’s just an audio). She will blow your mind--and yes it’s 🔥 🔥 🔥. ruclips.net/video/FvWdnimqgeA/видео.html
Her voice wasn't declining you're mistaken and lastly she didn't start really experiencing issues until around 2000, she has heart disease and was being run into the ground by the record industry and even around the time when she last performed before she passed away her voice wasn't gone at all her vocal cords was absolutely fine it was the cigarettes and drugs by then but had she quit and took a break worked on her vocals she would've been back at 95%, her vocal coach came out and told the media this but Clive Davis was the one pushing her to go on another tour when she didn't want to, he lied telling her if her time was up if she didn't. Whitney actually wanted to move out the country with her daughter to retire for a while. Had she not been pushed to keep preforming she likely would be here because the criticism she received after her last performance was too much on her mentally the way the media and fans dragged her.
@@violetsrayreikishop2 Show me where I said her voice was gone? I never once said that at all. And if you was smart enough to comprehend what you read you’d know it was indeed the truth. The fact that by this time Whitney’s voice was on the decline. It was around 1996. Whitney had been in at least 4 world tours, thousands of television performances, a couple of HBO tv specials, multiple awards show performances-she had been singing for YEARS. Her voice wasn’t at its peak like back in 1986-1994. She still gave stellar performances however she was not able to continuously belt out and sustain those notes as she once did. Add in the fact that Whitney also smoked cigarettes so by this time she had been smoking at least 10yrs which hurt her vocal chords. You act like I’m so prepubescent RUclips person but let me tell you I was well into my college years when Whitney debuted so I was around from the very beginning until the end loving her, buying her music, seeing her films, astonished by her voice. She is the greatest vocalist of all time, there was nobody who used their instrument (her voice) like Whitney used hers. She has no weaknesses in her vocal abilities during her prime.
Poor Whitney. Even after her untimely death people profit without giving back. FYI for all the reaction vlogers know that Whitney cared deeply for children. Consider giving a portion of your profits to a charity that supports and/or protects children. ❤️✨🙏🏿. May God bless and keep you ALWAYS!
Whitney was going through lots of pain caused by Bobby at this time and this song was so real to her. It's amazing enough that she could get through WDIHSB without crying!
Not just bobby she had miscarriages back to back for a few years leading up to this because of the industry as well, they didn't give a damn about Whitney she would probably be here in Clive Davis evil ass wasn't pushing her to get back in the industry on tour too, I wish she had took Micheal advise and got rid of Clive Davis.
SHE KNOCKED THIS OUT OF THE STRATOSPHERE. PERIODT. You're drained, as are we, because she took us on this painful & emotional journey w/her. I've played this so many times through the years that both of my original vinyl copies are now white!
@@Vallentina0325 this song and pretty much the entire Waiting To Exhale soundtrack is so underrated! I’m doing good! I’ve been in a bit of a funk all week and been super unproductive but I am gearing up for filming on Saturday so that I can have some uploads next week! I’m excited that I’m starting to get my mojo back. That’s what my friend would want
@@AlexisSamone I would not call it unproductive. It's grieving & handling it the best way you know how. TBH ,it's the best thing you could have done. And yes, it is what your friend would want. All those beautiful memories you guys made together now go into the vault of your heart & you're the only one w/the key. I think you should write a song. I'm serious about this. Now, when you are full of so many emotions all of that will be reflected in your words. Just think what a beautiful tribute that would be to him. The Waiting To Exhale soundtrack is everything & you are correct that it is underrated. Best song, best part of the movie is that final act. You know, the one I'm talking about. Course, you do. Glad we connected today, my friend.
Alexis: This is one of my ALL time favorites right here! Every break up will find me playing this on repeat with my Hennessey in hand & Whitney's ballads ameliorating my soul. I know it sounds redundant & cliche but she killed it. And yes, you have to use that growl sparingly, but when Whitney went there, it was everything.
Her voice might not be in it's prime here but she interpreted the hell out of this song and her more mature voice fit the song perfectly! A powerful performance!
Whitney was absolutely still in her prime here. She had more textural depth, her melisma was more seasoned plus each register was undeniably richer. She didn't lose steam until after 97 and even still she was delivering well until after 2000. Folks only claim her prime ended after The Bodyguard era because that was when she stopped appeasing the pop fans.
I loved her mixed voice that growl you’re talking about! It sounds so good but I didn’t know it would hurt your Voices but I love it!!!! Do Sia!!!! I gotta hear your take on her voices
Hamza Boukaroua it’s not going to hurt it initially but any vocal coaches and a speech therapist (whom I’ve unfortunately had to visit due to my vocal polyp) has stated that continued use of growling does affect the design of the vocal folds. Just like coughing and clearing your throat. A growl is not something done via diaphragm which is only used for proper breath control. A growl is a modification done with your throat.
Hamza Boukaroua but great advice though. I do growl during my performances. It has to be done right in order for it not to hurt your voice or make your throat sore, so you are right about that. Please take a look at some videos of me singing LIVE. The Jennifer Hudson song “give myself” is one of my fave videos that I did live
Hi Lex, This live performance really demonstrates Whitney's amazing vocal inflexion ability, and as you should know, she is the quintessential example of getting in and out of mixed voices. No other singer does it this this seamlessly!! Lex I like your reactions, but I would like you to react to Whitney's live performance of "I believe in you and me" for the 1997 lottery draw
Lex, you be killing me with your reactions girl, your little drink and your sweet smile just give me life. Thank you for praising our Queen Nippy, she is the Gold standard and we appreciate you keeping that legacy alive. Huge fan of you and you Betta Work Ms Lady 😘😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg you’re beautiful. Whitney is still my favorite lady! I subscribed I’m going to watch all your videos... not as a creeper but you know your stuff, and also very easy on the eyes. Ha wait you just shouted and told me to stop what I’m doing and watch. Okay! Lol
I'm sorry but I challenge anyone to find a performance that tops this one. Whitney just slays all singers past, present and future without trying and while seated. THE ABSOLUTE GOAT OF GOATS! Ive heard all the arguments, bla, bla, bla, I don't care, lol, Whit forever.
Inexplicably, for the past two days, all I've done is cry w/this loop playing in the recesses of my mind..."Why do I feel so sad?/I thought I was over you but I keep crying/When I don't love you..."
@@AlexisSamone there was a reason why you took a much needed break. Take as much time as you need. At the end of the day , we all want you healthy and happy. Big hugs, much love.❤❤❤
Clark Welling Ummm no sir. She would be my very very bestest friend!! Lol. I guess we could share her (although I was held back in kindergarten because I refused to share..😂😂🤣🤣🤣)!
Hey you should watch Lisa Fischer how can i ease the pain. she's up there with Whitney (not in the same league bc Whitney's in a league BY HERZELF) BUT lisa is the closest to her ive heard ever, yes even above Mariah (IMO)
@@tisanbako Yes, she is. To be honest, her technique is even slightly more polished than Whitney’s, but Whitney’s had more consistency. Both can do some things the other one can’t, so yeah, they are on the same level.
@@renanrpm you must be delusional. What technique? When you lambs say technique what exactly do you mean? Doing acrobats in the studio that you can’t do live? What exactly?
Hi, I love your content. Your enthusiasm really shows. I'd really like to see people react to some of Whitney's later vocals that were still amazing. Please check this out @
By this time her voice was at like 75% of what it was,her voice was damaged and has declined,she was going through hell personally, from the drug addiction,to miscarriages,issues in her marriage, the horrible press she started having around 1995... it was the rapid beginning of her fall AND SHE STILL the best! Although it does hurt hearing her 1995-onward cause the damage is so apparent. Not that she was bad,but the difference between 1984-1993 and this is huge. How I love her and miss her😔
I can't be you put Mariah Carey above Whittne Houson r.i.p the GOAT when it comes to vocals you're right she is no 2 an Aretha Franklin is No 2 in the Rolling Stone Hall of Fame. You better recognize Lexi good day!!!

She's in a league in her own
MrSoulshock44 yes! A legend and icon for sure!
Ikr
periodt.
Whitney is unbelievable. There is No singer like her who can make me feel the pain, like she does. For me she's unforgettable.
Personally this is one of my top five performances ever by any artist.
Indubitably!
First 5 seconds you already got chills.
This is when you're in your element and its nothing but pure TALENT !!! "The Voice"

Thats 1 of my fav things Nippy does those breaks in her voice....
Me too!! I absolutely adore those breaks! Gives me chills every time.
I think you'd like reacting to Whitney Houston's performance at the 1991 Billboard Music Awards show.
Jay Oh ooh yes! I will!
This is absolutely my favorite performance of her I love that woman forever and always
You said fantabulous!!!! I never hear anyone else say it besides me!
The Queen still in 2021!! Whitney!!!
Fantabulous is such an old word..😳

Not in her prime ? Are you mad ?
@@drissabderrahmane5750 1996 was not her prime - it ended around bodyguard - but even so still amazing
Its still w of her prime lol…. Her prime is 83 to 2000
