She had something you can’t teach, and that’s why she is The Voice. But even without her voice, her soul and presence was beautiful.
The greatest ever
Now. I wish Mariah gets her respect. Whitney was humiliated and we lost her. I hope people don't discredit Mariah anymore, cause if not till she die, she would be humiliated by press just like Whitney. I hope both of their name gets the respect it deserves and live for decades to come.
@@takemyhand1988 this isn’t even about Mariah why you mad? Mariah is great but not better than Whitney. You people are hired to hit up every Whitney Houston comment section? Go cry about it in Mariah’s videos.
@@SBelle84 read my comment. I said both are the greatest. And just like Whitney went, Mariah is being scrutinized. Honestly this behaviour that either mariah or Whitney is bad. I love both of them. I just said Whitney didn't get her proper respectful send off, i wish Mariah gets it atleast.
@@takemyhand1988 Save it. There are plenty of videos of Mariah you could’ve commented on. Mariah gets plenty of respect. this video is not about Mariah Carey. It’s a shout Whitney Houston.
Really wish she knew how much she was loved. She is missed dearly.
And her impact on the world
One of our greatest voices, never forgotten
@@dorib.3367 Yup she really was.
Such an icon. Her voice 💓😢
Sing to the lord. Amen. Coninue. To pray and also remender the sick
Nobody can touch Whitney at her best. Periodt!
Amen .
Peeeeriodt!!!
Nobody!!
I love Whitney but Minni Rippelton is 👑
Lovely sosweet Who!?
She had a wonderful talent. God gave her a gift.
Yes he did🕊
I really love when Whitney said that God gave her that gift of her voice!!!
She had the perfect ingredients, the family history, connections, and growing up singing, she's perfect.
Unfortunately no one is perfect..Poor Whitney had her demons..We all do
Perfect musically*.
@@CrowdSpectator24 Yes, musically
@@TheMajesticKnight yeahhh, I knew what you meant and I absolutely agree. ❤
Whitney was a gift. A national treasure. The best vocalist ever. A generous spirit
A Universal treasure!
Her and Freddie Mercury possibly the 2 hardest to mimic.
"Crowns are heavy!" No truer words ever spoken!!
@James Hama Just fine Miss Hama! How 'bout urself sweetie?😘
@James Hama Darlin' I'm from NYC! How 'bout urself honey??
@James Hama Sorry 'bout ur divorce. Hope ur daughter's well!😁
@James Hama Cool cool. As long as she ok!😁
@James Hama Mmm........perhaps.😉😏
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Whitney and Mariah had a gift that you cannot teach. They were born with Golden pipes. Anointed not talented . Often imitated but never duplicated. These women literally had the heavenly choir and instruments in their vocal chords. They showed that when they did that duet together. THE VOICE and THE SONGBIRD SUPREME ❤️❤️❤️❤️always and forever my best inspirations. RIP Whitney 🙏🏽
Mariah can NOT touch Whitney!!! The ONLY reason people mention Mariah is because she can hit a high note 🤣🤣🤣🙄🤡
@Anastasia Beaverhausen AND they both song a duet together "When you believe"
So true. You don't learn to sing that way. You're born to sing that way. Everybody has a gift but not everybody has the gift for singing.
"When You Believe" from The Prince Of Egypt with Mariah Carey, still is one of my all time favorite songs that Whitney Houston ever sing.
Two angels on one track!
That track to this day is tho goated. 2 best vocalist of all time 🤍🤍
@Ryan Hanifan you sound like a hater
@Ryan Hanifan aww you sound bitter

Fear of God means Respect literally.
It also means, Obedience, Surrendered, and Love Him with your whole heart.
@@DB-ed6si yes....well said
...
Yep.
@@DB-ed6si Yes. It can mean all of that as well, but even with that being said, we are NOT perfect. None of us are perfect. Sometimes we get it right, and sometimes we get it wrong. God already knew and know everything about us before we were in our mom's womb. And in advance He chose NOT to hold anything against us, and he don't want to hold it against ourselves. He want us to pray for one another, forgive, show mercy and grace towards one another, and have compassion on one another as well as ourselves. We can say what the Lord lead us to say to one another without sounding harsh or judgemental. Even correction should be given in the form of love. Again because NOT ANY OF US ARE PERFECT. We are to strive for perfection, which means to mature/grow in Christ each day to the best of our ability. Either way you have a blessed evening, and the remainder of your week. God loves you and yours and cares for you all, and so do I in Jesus name. Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen. Be strong, blessed, bold, and courageous in the Lord.
I've heard that we don't always remember what others do or say but rather how they make us feel. Nobody moved me more than Whitney Houston when she sang.
This woman had a gift like no other. Like, in all seriousness she captivated you when she opened her mouth. Just listen to how she sang "guide me oh thou, great jehovah"... that was absolutely gracious.
"Something seemed accessible about her but also really like ROYALTY like a princess."
That's called Elegance right there. She has this quality - Vibrant Elegance.
She was born to sing! That voice was a gift and all she wanted to do was just sing, not the fame and the invasion of her privacy.
Her musical gift was astounding. When I first heard her singing on the radio, I stopped dead in my tracks and was mesmerized. I remember thinking, there can never be and has never been a more beautiful voice.
PREACH! 🙌🏻 AMEN
Wowww! She had an Anointed voice from the Lord! Her mother too played an important role in her life. 💝. Parents please encourage your children to use their gifts and talents for the Lord God 💝
Amen
Yes
Omg this gives me chills. I had a dream about a month ago.. I went to this big white church and there Whitney Houston was.. she looked so happy and her smile, charisma literally brighten the whole room.. I remember her asking the room could she sing 🎤 and they said yes.. I was very shy but I asked her timidly could I sing with her and she said yes.. crazy.. 20 seconds into singing I woke up.. I didn’t know she grew up singing at a church 😳… I wonder what the dream meant.
That's such an interesting dream. I wonder what it means too 🤔?
We need a Whitney movie. One that is accurate and well made. As big of a superstar as she was the culture needs it.
Absolutely agree
There is one coming out this year.
@@dlk1dlk1 What's its name?
@@ShadowNightWarrior 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody'.
@@dlk1dlk1 That movie was horrible and flopped at the box office
This was beautiful. Since she grew up in the church I cannot help but hope with all my heart that in the end she knew the Lord and had a personal relationship with Jesus before she passed. What a heavenly voice! She is so missed!
Even at her lowest God was there with her ❤️
Amen, I hope so too🙏
Like for many, I've never met her and only "know" her through the glimpse of the media, which conflictingly she was not very fond of. Her interviews throughout her career consistently shows how dedicated, genuine, and authentic she was to herself, her craft, to others, and to her faith. If I had a chance to talk to her (impossible, I know), I'd say, "Thank you for holding on for so long", because she didn't like the fame, she just wanted a normal life. I wish inside her beautiful soul she loved herself just a bit more to beat her demons and walk away from the toxicity that surrounded her. As many say, she's often imitated, but there will never be another person as gifted and beautiful as Whitney. Her spirit and legacy will forever live and be cherished.
Took the words out of my mouth! 💯
The GREATEST ENTERTAINER/VOCALIST OF ALL TIME💯💜💜💜
AMEN
Facts
Oh, Whitney. We love and miss you.
When I first heard Whitney's voice on the radio,i was stunned...Something so magical in her voice..no wonder people call her The Voice.
All these singers are amazing in their own right but Whitney was my favorite
She was a excellent. Singer and a blessing to hear beautiful Voice. Much Love for her.
Whitney houston is the greatest singer of all time period we miss her so dearly ❤😭😢.
💯 absolutely!
100% missed forever ⭐️🎶⭐️❤️
God gives everyone gifts and Whitney’s was singing continue to RIP beautiful fame is a hell of a thing it’s dangerous and out of control especially when you are around the wrong group of peo
It’s dangerous when you choose the applause of the world vs serving God
She not resting in heaven. She live for the pleasure of sin. Hell she went .
@@onewaytogodjesus4922 No. She's resting in heaven married Michael Jackson
Whitney was a genuinely rare talent, the likes of which will never be seen again.
@James Hama Yes, she is. I'm great, and you?
@James Hama thank you. I hope you have a good day as well.
@James Hama Okay you can send whenever.
@James Hama good and you?
@James Hama I sent it already.
Every time i listen to Whitney i react like the very first time. She was God-sent. Rest well Nippy. Forever❤️
So true
I will never forget sitting at home and hearing, ‘Saving All My Love For You.’ What a gift. 🌹I also loved the story that BeBe Winans told at her funeral that she wanted to be a backup singer for BeBe and CeCe Winans.
She sang on one their records....The Blood. It is one of my favorite gospel songs.
I ain't going to lie Whitney Houston's was one gorgeous woman, with the most Heavenly voice anyone could probably could ever hear. God bless her soul, to God be the glory no matter what.
THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE ANOTHER WHITNEY🔥🔥🔥
her beauty, power & undeniable talent..an angel singing💖🕊💖
WHITNEY IS THE BEST FEMALE SINGER EVER, SHE WAS THE PERFECT SINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a beautiful woman!!!
When her performance of “home” came on it brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me of the child inside, the true Whitney that resided in her soul always. We are all that person no matter our successes or our failures. Home is where love is overflowing and for
Whitney it is now beyond us where she rests.
Whitney and Fantasia have soft spoken voices. I love it.
Whitney is the greatest female singer of all time
she just came into this world with every ingredient to be a talented star. she should still be here healthy happy well blessed and blessing. it just doesn’t make sense that someone so talented surrounded by such strong women could have been brought so low.
The greatest singer of all time💜😩
I am blessed to have lived on this earth at the same time as Whitney Houston
I am in love with her, especially her voice.
Thank you Brandy for pointing out the fact that Whitney was anointed. Most people don't get that.
I love that.
What does it mean that she was anointed?
It's was a very honest statement
@@TheDarkDresser God given
@@virtualwhispers
Thank you for answering my question.
She one of the three vocal goddess ... RIP queen Whitney Houston ..
She is The Gift to Sing.. Her Voice is so Beautiful ❤️
Miss her so many great memories together as a child. Rest easy Nippy 😘❤️❤️❤️
Whitney is absolutely amazing.
I lived in Europe until teen years and when I got a hold of her cassette (before CDs) I couldn't stop listening to her voice. I had tears in my eyes because of her amazing voice.
Am I the only one that STILL bawls because of her!!! It hurts so bad but I can only imagine how Ms. Cissy feels!! 💔
Best singer of all time..
Her voice can put you asleep easier...
Too bad we lost her..
Too bad no ones couldn't rescue her, found her on that dark road.
Too bad she was alone....
Whitney Houston is the reason I got a Seventeen Magazine subscription, it was AMAZING to see this beautiful young sister in amazing fashion, sporting her real hair and representing me. That shaped me as a teen. And then she started singing and took my fandom to another level. I regret not seeing her in concert, but she never came close to where I lived and I was too young and broke to travel to see her. I pray that she is rocking the heavenly choir like only she can.
Its amazing how Chaka loves to speak on Whitney's talent lol. They were close.
That girl in the movie portrayed Whitney very well!
Peace to Whitney Houston…😞
See what makes Whitney the greatest, is not that she could hit every note (although she could hit most). There are singers who can hit higher notes. Mariah could hit higher notes. HOWEVER, what sets her above the rest is...HER TONE. It was absolutely from another world. As Brandy said, Whitney was ANOINTED. It is what it is!
Whitney Houston, my idol since I was 7. I saw her on TV and fell in love. I could never aquire her vocals but boy, I looked up to her. ❤ The one and only. ❤
Golden Phenomenal Voice 👑💕Whitney was given a absolutely beautiful voice
A precious gift to the world, she came to do what God sent her to do, no one is perfect no not one, you are truly missed Whitney, sing on with the angels of heaven dear child, God is the only one who's gonna judge you the right way. I will always love you 😍 ❤ ♥ 💕 💙 💖
🧐
She was such a talent. She is very much missed. 😔
She and Michael were proof that you could be the best at your craft and give of yourself your entire life, to have one wrong thing about you outweigh all that good. R.I.P, Nippy!
I miss her ,lesson learned when you get out of his will , things happen ,but my queen ,was is still one of the best voices I have ever heard, and hope that no one will ever forget this young queen. Houston texas ❤
I dont care what tricks people do with their voice Whitney was the best.She could do what everyone else could but she just remained WHITNEY.She was never going to change her style to show she could whistle or sound like a damn flute.She just opened her mouth and the voice of GOD came out.AMEN.
I dont know anyone who has Whitneys charisma,voice,warmness kindness and humility. Such a beautiful soul. I wish i met her before she passed away. All my fav singers , Whitney, Celine, Aretha, Chaka Khan, Mariah.
For me she will remain forever the best. Miss you so much miss Houston💔
I feel the same.
I remember in the 90's when i was a teen and i had to walk with my sisters to school and we would all sing "I will always love you" except we had only known the Dolly Parton version which is just immaculate!!💆💆💆💁💁☝☝
Whitney’s version was immaculate , that’s the only one I know ♥️♥️
Whitney houston is a reasons why God is real🤍🤍
Omg it's hard to believe people think alike, I said the same thang, for someone to have the best voice out everyone past , present,and future and just the person she is, is proof that god is real he made her very special.
Why?
That’s the stupidest comment I’ve ever heard in my life ever
@@Adrian-kk9en because this persons an idiot
I love this comment ❤ 🤣
She is really beautiful 🤩
The most talented and gorgeous artist of our times.....miss you angel❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Whitney was one in a Trillion
No, she was one for all time! No one will ever come close to matching her ever again. Better than all the Greats!
Her voice yes I agree, but she let herself down in so many ways whilst entertaining us .
Such class and beauty in the early yrs even in the later yrs, still love her the same🙏❤️
What God gives us is for glorify him. Is not about money or fame. Is about to life loyal to God obeying his commands. God bless you all.
I love how she sings
America the beautiful.
She really is an angel 💕🌟🙌😇
WHITNEY BABY... THE VOICE!! 🥀💛
Oh Whitney, she was beautiful both inside and out. Her voice is unmatched, her presence is unmatched and she's missed by so many everyday. Her music will live on for ever❤️❤️❤️#TheVoice
One of the best voices to ever touch a 🎙 a true queen 👑! Talent like no other!!
She definitely had game man i Loved her .
Her last comment in this interview...she just wanted to sing...😔...and she fucking sang that she ended up with so so so many awards and achievements...There will never ever be another WHITNEY HOUSTON!!❤🇿🇦
5:37 that song was so beautiful I loved it 💕💓💓💗
Pls what's the name?
Type in “Whitney Houston‘s the merv griffin show” the song will pop up ☺️ I hope you have an amazing day and stay blessed
@@Calmingsounds1234. thank you and remain blessed too
She was cissy's child so it makes sense she was a great singer
Good singers really touches your heart 😊
The Voice !
She is the BEST singer EVER! I like her so much
Gifted voice 😍😍
@James Hama I am good
What a wonderful gift of a voice 😍❤
May she Rest In Peace, she is
Missed everyday
She was so beautiful, in soul and the physical.
I miss Whitney ❤️. She's the best ever.
What a talent
How could someone be this perfect? She was too good to stay, same with Michael 💙
She had a mature voice at a young age. It takes years for someone to develop that level of greatness.
I'd pay to watch a Whitney biopic that chronicles her journey to stardom.
THAT'S what we want to to see.
I feel like Rihanna could play her w/the right acting coach, director, make-up, wardrobe. Even tho their voices /singin styles different I can see it 🎬
Ikr
I Want Debra Wilson to play Her
@@gato0082 I was looking at her, and said that Rihanna favor her at times.
I WAS A HUGE FAN OF WHITNEY, HER POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL VOICE INSPIRES ME TO GO ABOVE AMD BEYOND, GO THE EXTRA MILE WITH MY SPIRITUAL GIFT!!!!
Whitney and Chaka are beautiful woman....
when i was younger i heard i wanna dance and i will always love you but had never seen or heard anything else from her. then one day i’m watching everybody hates chris and they played saving all my love and the voice singing was so beautiful i automatically knew that it was whitney and i’ve been a fan ever since.
What a special person
Whitney was a fantastic performer, her hits were always top.of the charts. The hit "I will always love you" is a firm favourite of mine, apart from other songs she performed in the past.. I've always admired black singers , because they put their whole heart and soul into their songs. RIP🙏🙏🙏 Whitney, your sadly missed by all.
Two legends gone. Rip Whitney and Barbara 😭😭😭
I can say that Whitney had a goid start but ended in a sad way.
True indeed! I wish she didn't touch drugs.
Happy Birthday Cissy Houston. Thank you for giving us Whitney.
☀️Dreams are what make life worth living🦋 Miss Houston inspired a generation to DREAM! She is a representation of an all American black woman that furthered the black hope of my generation, she cannot be replaced 🌈🙏✝️♥️💯
She shld have stuck with the Church. Whitney can give you goose bumps. You see she and Elvis are very similar with what is in their souls.
Yeah .but let's wish her the best her story really ended tragically
She left the ark of safety.
Whitney is so missed 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
To the Greatest of All time, Whitney Houston!❤
