- LaGuardia of performing & the Arts Video from 1990 at Washington DC. R.I.P MARVIN HAMLISCH & the great MISS WHITNEY HOUSTON , Rest in peace George Bush ,Barbara bush it was and honored to sing for you guys 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Her voice is a mystery, loud, piano, resonant, vibrant, metalic but warm, rich tone, perfect vibrato, precise, always in control. She was a miracle.
THIS is what the Estate should be pursuing and remastering and releasing. THIS is what fans want and will BUY. There is only one singer who EVER could do this. This was what made Whitney THE VOICE.
Her voice is astronomical levels of soaring here! Her voice resonated off of every corner of that room!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Most gifted singer to ever exist i dont give a fuck what anyone says. NO ONE COMPARES! ❤❤
This Is How Whitney Is Leading Heaven's Choir 😩❤
ASIA Jackson I think you are right too!!
Oh god this just touches me in ways i cant explain
This is just an imitation of what's in heaven. Imagine that. 😇
Yasss!!! I pray that is true ♥️🙏🏽♥️
ASIA Jackson THE VOICE!! 💜
This performance alone cemented her as the greatest singer to ever live. The end.
Now you know why Whitney was named the voice. She's now singing to the angels with her God given talent,
RIP NIPPY 🙏
The breathtaking purity of Whitney's voice with the innocence of children singing was so sweet. So tender, sweet, hopeful, optimistic, and AMERICAN.
Wow Whitney AND Marvin Hamlish !!!!!!! I bet most of you don't even know how grand that is 🙂
MARVIN HAMLISCH (composer) "When you're a composer you wait for someone [sic] to sing your song just the way you have tonight. Incredible. Miss WHITNEY HOUSTON!"
Snoop Catt "just the way you had in mind", not tonight.
Thanx, dude :). i had to relisten, it was hard to hear that part clearly lol I couldn't hear it rt now my laptop speakers, but in the earphones i could hear it clearly :-x
Tevin Campbell.
@@plawson8577 Nope Whitney Houston. tevins IDOL.
What a special compliment from one artist to another. The best compliments are from your peers. I don't know anything about him but maybe he's a famous talents Broadway composer? I don't care for that stuff. But this is so sublime, I might see what else he's written. And I think it was so classy the way he let you know he was the composer. We could all emulate his kind, wholesome sincere and elegant demeanor. Ugh and I'm such trash lol!
It’s the way that this audio recording is terrible yet Whitney still outpowers everything! And can still hear her resonance
Whitney's voice is so bombastic the piano in the background almost seems non existent lol. The power, the clarity, the resonance, *that tone* , the raw emotion. I've died and gone to heaven ❤
Aura Monroe, This is nothing compared to heaven. It's even better there. Imagine that. 😇

Always get so annoyed when 'they' start talking about the new Whitney Houston, like with Glennis Grace or Charice.
LISTEN to this..there will never be a new Whitney Houston. She's the greatest there ever was.
That makes two of us! But nice to see how many artists this woman's voice influenced. But her voice is one of a kind!
That makes three of us!
Whitney had a much stronger voice. Her tone's much richer/fuller and warmer. When Glennis sings the high notes and when she belts, she sounds rather sharp.
*Nobody will ever be the new Whitney Houston.* Even if there's someone with the exact same voice, she still ain't (the new) Whitney. *Whitney Elizabeth Houston was much more than a voice and great performer.* Whitney poured from her personal emotion and influences and makes you feel what's in her heart & soul.
Those two you mentioned havent a patch on Queen Whitney's Voice,she is the Gold standard of Real singing,No one can be the next Whitney,there is only one.
Only one Whitney. I'm so grateful to have grown up when these few talented superstars graced stages. Whitney raised the bar and paved the way for a new generation but none of them are nowhere near Whitney, never!
Amen! And it's not even a discussion point.
The way her voice soared into the stratosphere...outstanding!!
Yesssss!!!💜💜💜💜
At her very best, La Whitney married pop and gospel with the control, resonance and phrasing of an operatic singer. She had exquisite control over her vast range in every pocket of her voice. She never needed to over sing because her voice was limitless at its very best. Performances like this are the reason that I don't debate about who the "greatest" is. There have been many great singers, but Whitney sang at the highest level of greatness and virtuosity.
Exactly! *Whitney Elizabeth Houston is a once in human existence miracle/gift that must be cherished for our future generations to* *hear and see what true greatness and vocal divinity sounds like!*
Whitney Elizabeth Houston will forever be The Queen of Music! It's not only her 'out of this world' voice. The way she sang makes you feel what's in her heart & soul through her voice and touches very deeply. Whitney's great personality and her background of Gospel, Soul, R&B, Jazz, Opera etc set her apart from all the others.
I had to sign in to give this comment/compliment two amens. You captured exactly what I feel and what she delivered in this performance.
@@KRashad thank you so very much! ❤️
❤
❤️🙏👑
I was at that dinner and have searched for a video several times since she died. I'm so glad one's been posted. It was one of the most remarkable performances for a number of reasons: the setting, the surprise as she walked through the tables to the stage, her unequaled voice, Marvin Hamlisch on the piano, the choir, and I was sitting a table away from the stage. I think I watched and listened with my mouth agape. She looked gorgeous, and oh, that voice!
How incredibly lucky were you to have actually been there. My envy just went through the roof. Thanks for the description.
How powerful did her voice sound in person? Do any of these videos of her do her justice?
Her voice was powerful and golden. Everyone was awestruck. I wish there had been a professional recording of that evening, because, no, the only one we have does not do her justice. But, I am so glad to have it! When I happen upon one of her ballads in the car, I turn it up very loud to hear every quality of her voice.
What I would've given to have the honor of hearing her sing live :) I bet it was amazing
Barbara Steakley You're so lucky!! What an experience that would've been😍 xx
Whitney in her prime.. behind a live microphone with a piano. A lot of people can sing very well. And a lot of people can brilliantly cover a song and give you the feels. And a lot of people can get a number one hit and win a Grammy. But when Whitney puts down her live vocals on any song, there's not a dead or living soul that could've or could come anywhere close to this talent. Whitney Houston is the greatest singer that ever lived.
Well said!! 🤩🤩
Periodddd 😘
@@markdrinkwater1508 I hate to break it to you, but you may need to go get your ears tested.. you're on your own on this one LOL. Or, you haven't a musical ear so shouldn't be involved in this discussion. Aretha knew Whitney was much better than she was. As quoted by Aretha "Whitney Houston was one the greatest singer to ever step before a microphone". She said "one" as Aretha was quite arrogant and liked to think herself as the greatest, but she knew she wasn't. She was jealous of Cissy's daughter, Whitney. So you're ill-description of Whitney above^ is completely void. No one could hit a note the way Whitney did. There's a difference between hitting the highest note on record and hitting a note like Whitney did. Everyone wanted a chest, mixed and head voice like Whitney. There's not a lot of singers who score full marks across their vocal, and she did. And I pity you, if you're unable to understand this.
@@1510km You nut, every singer and musician Iver the last 60 years lauds Franklin as the greatest, including Whitney momma. Every radio poll, every music industry magazine poll, they all place Atetha as having by far the greatest most influential voice in recording history. Who-ston is mediocre in comparison, now stop being so ridiculous and request that your doctor change your medication as a point of urgency. You ignorant deluded fool.
@@1510km Who-ston bored most sane people to death with her artless long drawn out soulless exhibitionism. She had zero artistic merit, an artistic black hole.
wow, when I thought she couldn't get any better, something tells me we haven't seen the best of Whitney .God knows how many other brilliant Whitney performances are out there. This was really breathtaking
Danielle matrix I hear God in her voice.
Danielle matrix This just touched my spirit. I'm at work right now, and I saw this. I can't explain it. This is beyond amazing!! 😓😓
This voice makes me believe there's goodness in the world
Despite being violated in many ways since early childhood, Whitney brought lots of goodnesses and light into this world.
Whitney was a true humanitarian that helped lot's of people privately and supported many foundations for sick, disabled, abused, poor,..... children and adults.
*Whitney supported these and many other charity organizations.*
American Foundation for AIDS Research
Caudwell Children
Celebrity Fight Night Foundation
Children's Defense Fund
Keep A Child Alive
Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center
Red Cross
Save The Music Foundation
Special Olympics
United Negro College Fund
United Service Organization
Emmanuel Cancer Foundation
Hale House
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
Ronald McDonald House
Feingold Center for Children
Deirdre O'Brien Child Advocacy Center
The Princess Trust
Rainforest Foundation
And many others....
I totally agree
@@ninamo7969 violated how ?
@@lindseycarribean5113 The list of violations is long. Whitney's demise started the day she was sexually abused as a very young child and all the other violations against her that never ended!
*Whitney had many very painful childhood memories. These are just a few of them.*
- She was bullied verbally and physically and socially excluded by black and white kids a lot between the age 6 and 18. She was often chased after by groups of kids who threatened her to beat her up. Kids pulling her hair, breaking her glasses and other stuff happened frequently.
For the darker skinned kids she didn't look black enough (her skin was lighter than theirs, hair was longer and not afro enough to them, thinner lips....).
To the white kids, Whitney looked too black. Cissy dressed Whitney with beautiful more expensive looking clothes and Whitney was also bullied for that. As a teenager she took an old jeans and t shirt with her to wear at school to prevent being bullied.
- Whitney's paternal grand father treated her and her brothers badly because of their skin color. Whitney's father has a white looking sun from his first marriage. When Whitney was just a toddler, her grandfather gave ice cream to his White looking grandchild and none to Whitney and brothers Michael & Gary. He also said he didn't love them as much.
- Whitney's parents lived in a dangerous neighborhood plagued by drugs and gang wars. As a very young child Whitney and her family often had to lie down on the floor to prevent bullets killing them in their own home. Her parents moved out of that neighborhood as soon as they could.
- The divorce of her parents was also painful and difficult to process as young child.
As an adult the mental and physical violations never ended.
- racism.
- colorism.
- betrayal by people (incl. friends and even family) Whitney thought she could trust.
- relentlessly hunted and haunted by the press.
- mental and physical abused by Bobby Brown.
- At least 4 miscarriages. the first on set of The Bodyguard. Before Whitney had the chance talking about it herself, someone had told the press.
- a victim of several stalkers that threatened to kill her/harm her loved ones.
- ....
Whitney had many very painful childhood and adult trauma's that pushed her towards numbing substances.😭 People kept violating her till the day she died and many vile scum are still doing it!😡😞
Though Whitney had everything when it comes to talent and beauty, her personal life was a far cry from that. 😭
*Whitney's addictions were the result of psychological traumas that started very early in her childhood and the immense* *pain she carried never ended!*
On the surface it seems like Whitney had it all, but as person she didn't. Whitney fought a long and very hard fight against her demons that she couldn't win!
*Substance abuse is an illness in Whitney's case and also millions of people suffering mental issues.*
@@ninamo7969 All that is very sad and racism is without a doubt the biggest wound of america who hasn’t been heal yet. That colorism is just bs. To god, lighter, darker we are all beautiful. This stupid thing creates insecurity. This is the leftovers of slavery. In an interview, she said that she had a good childhood. Her father seemed to be protective and her mother very caring. She trained her before getting into this industry. That said, I read that her mother used to take drugs when she was a back singer, probably even when she was pregnant of whitney. There’s this rumor that she was molested by a family member ? The drug problem might be in her genes before she ever came to earth. She also had legal issues with her father who asked millions of $$$$$$$$$. But you know what ? I have pain from kristina. Poor child.
That’s not human. That’s something else coming through.
It’s incomprehensible how any being can master such a talent.
Nobody will ever make me emotional like this woman. When she opens her mouth to sing…… I burst into tears
Yesss
WHY are you crying? It's not even a sad song.
@@TheEarthRealmnot only sad songs bring one to tears. Any great song can evoke such emotions in one.
It's almost 30 years but Whitney's voice is still resonating and the greatest I've heard so far. ❤️
I'm still not over this.... THE RESONANCE..... THE CONTROL
Chris Deleon Yes And That "Make All Our Troubles Cease" In The Beginning Is The Most Beautiful Thing I've Ever Heard
ASIA Jackson like the control...... it sounded like she was singing in her head voice as she was belting....
Chris Deleon Idk How She Did What She Did But Whitney Made Every Little Thing She Did Look So Easy But NO ONE Else Could Do It
I aint never heard anything as beautiful as this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Deleon This performance was incredible. Just when I thought her live performances were all documented. Oh my, let me say it again.. INCREDIBLE!!
STILL not over this. This is by FAR the greatest example of her vocal control. The way she glided through those mid belts and even hit TWO F5s without taking too many breaths all while on the same vocal line. This woman was OUT of this world. The greatest.
Chris Deleon it is the most perfect think I’ve heard ever. It’s chillingly angelic
Chris Deleon Beyond amazing. Tone. Clarity. Control. Even Mr. George Bush knew she was special. She will always be special in my heart. 💜
Like many of Whitney's live performances, you can hear her true Heart & Soul through her voice. I've heard this song countless times and still she touches me in the depths of my true Heart & Soul.
*Whitney Elizabeth Houston is a once in human existence miracle/gift that must be cherished for our future generations to hear and see* *what true greatness and vocal divinity sounds like!*
For real for real! UNworldly and untouchable on so many levels
AMAZING WHITNEY HOUSTON
AMEN & AMEN 💙 💯
I swear. Her voice was absolutely breathtaking in any range and any dynamic level. I was so blessed to see her in 2000. The closest thing to perfection that I could ever even imagine.
Yes yes yessssss 💜💜💜💜
she had the richest voice EVER
Surely the Whitney Houston Estate could digitally re-master this vocal with additional instrumentation and release it as single....... ? This is truly stunning and showcased her voice perfectly.
There must be a better recording. This was an important event and the president was there. I really hope there's a better version very soon. This performance keeps drawing me in and bring tears in my eyes. Even after 6 years it still hurts so much that Whitney didn't have the life she deserved and died so young.
😭😭😭 The Amount of resonance..... ORCHESTRA CUTTING VOLUME. THE VIBRATO, THE DYNAMICS.
Lord have mercy!!!! Whitney Voice was sweet as honey!!!!
I think this performance is the prime example of her vocal resonance.... the way she filled the room and her rolling vibrato.. wow
C Houston Yes..
This lady was Truly Angelic, No singer on Earth ever sung as Beautiful, Diverse and Almost super human and angelic as she did. She Truly had a Very Special Gift from the Most High. which stood out far above her peers
Amen!!! Absolutely!
This song needs to shine for 2021
0:57-1:22 those vocal embellishments are so heartbreaking and hauntingly beautiful! Her tone was at its best here imho
2:07-2:20 I'm so fond of her stage presence in this performance. Just so stunning. Not to mention the choir that backs her!
5:57 she must be heading heavens choir just like she did here....
D. Addison 🙏🏾
Ronald Shields 🙏🏽
This would be as big as "Higher Love" if the vocals were isolated, cleaned and cleared up, echo taken out, feedback removed, etc. It's a beautifully performed song by Whitney in her prime.
Ted Greely couldn’t agree more. Hope someone will try to do what you suggested
looks like a video of a video.. someone must have the original!
I wholeheartedly agree - I sometimes feel her estate is lacking in imagination.
@@likeloop or it’s lacking the proper leadership.
ruclips.net/video/uCA9fHNqzpw/видео.html
Performances like this one prove how divine Whitney's voice really was. A lot of singers have great voices, but it's a true gift & art to touch people the way Whitney did.
Her tone divine and Vibrato out the world- we remember The Young Whitney with that True Voice!
I will always be in awe of her monumental voice.
Glorious instrument.
Efervescencia Desenlace Same here. What an absolutely brilliant and anomalous talent she was!
I 2p b
[]I think
This song could never be boring ever.!!!!!
This alone is the reason why her voice is considered as Stradivarius.
Whitney was THE singer. Although her voice could do anything, it was her remarkable tone that set her apart from her peers. This performance signifies exactly what I’m talking about. #GOAT
What peers? She had none. Not one!
@@barramundi4604 Well I trying to be "respectful" LOL. But you tell no lies!
@@craigfurlow7692 Happy New Year.
@@barramundi4604 She does tho 😭😭. Whitney fans have gone too far, not even Whitney herself would agree with you on that one 😭😭
@@samuelking9497 They came AFTER her. And NONE of them sang like her. It is what it is!
God! Whitney's voice is soaring high in the room.💕
5:01-5:13 She sounded so majestic in the 5th octave in a way that is just inimitable. As pure as the fallen snow. I wish this was better quality.
Well that's actually her in the 4th octave, the note is a Bb4. I think her from g#4-c#5 was her golden zone belting wise (up to a f5 she was also brilliant and sometimes even beyond)
@@bafbaas1210magic of Whitney
Even her B4 could drown the entire orchestra
She's singing with full voice absolutely mind-blowing
@@bafbaas1210 u mean up to g#5….
No Auto Tune, No Ear plug things, NO background singers....just a microphone, a piano, and THE VOICE!!!!
Ear plug things are in ear monitors so you can hear yourself singing. Without them you cannot perform live. In ear monitors are a more modern version of stage monitors. Stage monitors are loudspeakers placed about the venue, near the performers, so they can hear themselves sing. Without a doubt Whitney had monitors of some sort during this performance.
@@biggityboggityboo8775 Were they in her ear? If you had taken 5 seconds to truly read my comment I never said "no stage monitors"...I said "no ear plug things" Lol...so you wasted your time writing on the history of ear/stage monitors. Enjoy the video🤣🤣
@@Imissingu2001 Yeah but you were saying it like having anything in her ears would have been a bad thing, when in reality it wouldn't.
@@biggityboggityboo8775 Thank you for telling me how I was saying something. The reality is she had nothing in her ears and still maintained perfect pitch. The end. Enjoy.😎
@@Imissingu2001 Yes but she would have still had stage monitors so the fact she had nothing in her ears doesn't mean anything. 🤷
the resonance ugh,so beautiful.
even in a not good condition of video and audio, here we can hear the purest of her voice came out... magnificent!!!
THE VOICE FOREVER
She sound so good. Wish I was in that room to hear it in person. Greatest singer ever
There’s no one like her. Celine, Mariah have never made me feel like this. They are great but Whitney has an angel in her throat
Her tone is utterly charming
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I agree with you in the sense that Whitney is one of the few artists who have that special tone, especially in her prime. Diana Ross had it too in her prime, and clarity and appropriate soul that's heartfelt. Celine is good but hers is more contrived and she actually sounds like she's copying off a black woman. Mariah is also very good but can overdo things at times.
I disagree, but it's subjective
@@petebrowne9918 lol. U totally agree 😆😆
THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO GO VIRAL!!!!
key22ks I’m trying to get this remastered 💯
really? please can you make it faster :( i'm dying to see it. Whitney deserves better :(
@@mrgoodcruz4553 So where is the remaster now?
The greatest voice of all time. THE VOICE!❤
I cant get over the beauty of this song. The words, arrangement. I remember Tevin Campbell doing a fine job of this song. But Whitney, oh my. Even with the poor quality video her voice is amazing and she lends emotion and such poise to the presentation. Shall we mention how hauntingly beautiful she was at this event RIP Whitney you are missed
I was thinking the same thing. Tevin did a great job, but Whitney took it to another place. Amazing!!! 💗💓💔
There is nothing and no one better than this lady at this point of her career. She was and will always be the absolute best. RIP.
She was absolutely without peer. Touched by the Divine.
Im just lying here, soaking in her talent. And then I'm gonna go on with my day. A little happier because of her.
Her voice was as perfect as it can be for a pop singer.
All qualities in just one voice.What i like the most is the fact that her voice was so stunningly gorgeous throughout the entire range - and at all volumes!!!I do not think of any other big voice which can remain "Beautiful" while traveling through dramatic passages.
Whitney was much more than a pop singer. Whitney grew up with Gospel music and first sang in church. That influenced her voice and singing a lot.

Before her ARISTA record deal Whitney did backing vocals for artists like Cissy Houston, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Lou Rawls and other Gospel/Soul/R&B artists. She also recorded these songs.
Eternal Love (recorded 1979 age 16)

Memories (recorded 1982 age 18)
ruclips.net/video/i3CZPNT9GSs/видео.html
The first two album had more pop-songs, because Clive Davis and ARISTA wanted to reach more people. From her 3rd album to the last, Whitney recorded mainly R&B, Soul, Gospel, Hip Hop, Urban, Dance, Rock, a little reggae and funk,...`
LIVE, Whitney always sang her songs more soulful and sang Gospel, R&B and many other styles during concerts and other live performances.
Humanity will never hear a magnificent singer/voice like Whitney Elizabeth Houston again! Not a chance!
We and our future generations better cherish the precious miracle Whitney Houston!
Whitney Elizabeth Houston's STAR will shine eternally!
THE VOICE LEGACY. BEFORE AUTOTUNE THERE WAS WHITNEY HOUSTON!

Memories - Wonderful.
I know you did not refer to Whitney Houston as a pop singer!? You can NOT have a voice like that and think its derived from pop. She was a gospel singer first and foremost. She settled her voice to pop when she became famous because her label wanted her to do pop. That's why her voice is so powerful in her songs, the way she kills gospel like her famous gospel mother, pop would have never been hard for her to sing.
I think this post, in it's self is both the problem and reason Whitney is so successful. Yes she can do every genre of music, so she can't really be labeled, as she said "if you can sing, you can sing any genre of music!". Just to clarify, Gospel and R&B singers don't normally sing with clarity or are they know for their diction, Pop singers to some degree sing with clarity as they appeal to the masses. Whitney isn't giving us neither Pop or R&B, she is in full classic Broadway mode meant to reach the back if the theatre!
@@JB-lv1ne No baby this is gospel and soul with the diction from pop mixed in
Sorry to any artist, but this entire performance showcased breath control on an astronomical scale that absolutely NOBODY has ever demonstrated in contemporary music!!!!
King YES!
I am stunned by what she did here. A privilege to hear this
Can you imagine those young ones who were in the choir
I would have peed myself
except for Barbra Streisand. Both are gems!
Why was WHITNEY SO GOOD WAS IT … LUCK ? Unteachable natural skill ? Or cissy’s tutelage? She is the valedictorian of the singers school of the world 🌎
@@Jake4uinto Barbara was not the singer that Whitney was. Sorry!
Aretha had a way more beautiful voice and way more exciting too.
I JUST CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JUST TO BE ABLE TO HEAR HOW AMAZING HER VOICE WAS IS A TREAT!..SHE IS TRULY MISSED!
I listen to this everyday! What a Rich and clear Voice. God really gave her a magnificent Gift. Just extraordinary. Only God can give such a Gift.
Nothing like her ever was. Nothing like her will ever be again. Vocal genius.
the last note! her lungs are crazy
no one ever thouch heaven with a great gift of voice like that!!!!!!
6:18 no ones gonna talk about how she does vibrato and then full on straight resonance and then vibrato again? she has an amazing lungs no wonder why she is called “THE VOICE”
The way she could literally play with her vibrato and place it in or out anywhere in any moment or phrase was second to none. She was too good for pop music really. Only songs like this gave her the room to really spread her wings vocally.
The Best siger of all time❤
This is why Whitney was/still is the best....These kind of performances set her apart from anyone else.....she was in a league of her own...
President give Whitney standing ovation. A legend forever
wow this is rare Whitney was out of this world,a beautiful angelic Voice than was a gift.she is the greatest voice of all Time.this gave me goose bumps.
She really sounds like a Angel from above blessing us with Yahweh's beautiful voice. This voice will be studied for centuries to come
Omg how she switched her vocal in hitting the higher note to excute at the end omg gosh.She was amazing with precision
Extraordinary, Exceptional, Unique, Amazing....No words really descripes this woman's voice at its peak! A part of the lyrics is "One voice you'd hear, so pure, so clear" - VERY fitting!!
unparalleled.
simply unparalleled.
She was really something special, wasn’t she!? Looking back at video like this really is stunning to me. The choir sounds amazing- can you only imagine how this sounded live?❤❤ Her Star Spangled Banner is STILL the best rendition ever!
The other singers must be on their knees. Planet Earth never. Never .Heard anything better.MASTERCLASS. SHE IS GUILTY. BEST IN HISTORY.
That beautiful voice. That beautiful voice. No other like Whitney ever and there will never be the same gifted, special vocalist. Above anything, in a category all by herself. 🎤❤️ I miss you so much. 😓
If I die tomorrow I have written on my diary : I lived , I heard and I saw an Angel , and this Angel used to sing wonderlfuly , this Angel was Whitney Houston .
One Voice that left us a magnificent legacy of song that will never die! Whitney Elizabeth Houston, you are loved forever sweet angel!
I simply weep when I hear this! It’s not of this world! It’s angelic in a sense! My my my my!
thank you !
thank you !
thank you !
thank you !
thank you !
thank you !
😍😍😍😍😍
zoran zuzic thanks for watching
Whitney Houston's voice sounded like audible gold! It's as if God said, not only can I make gold, but I can create different forms of it..and then made Whitney's voice. The richness, strength and solidity, warmth and versatility, the shine and beauty! It was at once, raw and yet refined! God gave this lady a magnificent voice!
Performances like this one are what separates Whitney from other great diva's. You hear what's in her heart & soul through her voice.
LYRICS ONE SONG
WHITNEY
If we all sing one song
One song of love
One song of peace
One song to make all our troubles cease
One hymn, one theme, one hope, one dream
Imagine what tomorrow would bring
If we all sing one song
I wish that all the world
Could sing the words with you and me
And since the tune is in the freedom's key
One voice you'd hear, so pure, so clear
Imagine what tomorrow would bring
If we all sing one song
There's just one sun to warm our day
The same moon and stars light our way
This little ball's whirling in space
It's our only home, our only place
If we all sing one song
One song of love
One song of peace
One song to make all our troubles cease
Imagine what tomorrow would bring
If we all sing
Sing one song
CHOIR
If we all sing one song
One song of love
One song of peace
One song to make all our troubles cease
One hymn, one theme, one hope, one dream
Imagine what tomorrow would bring (would bring)
If we all sing one song
I wish that all the world (all the world)
Could sing the words with you and me
And since the freedom's key
One voice you'd hear, so pure, so clear
Imagine what tomorrow would bring (would bring)
If we (if we)
If we all sing one song
WHITNEY
There's just one sun to warm our day
The same moon and stars light our way
This little ball's whirling in space
It's our only home, our only place
WHITNEY & CHOIR
If we all sing one song
One song of love
One song of peace
One song to make all our troubles ease
CHOIR
Imagine what tomorrow would bring
Imagine what tomorrow would bring
WHITNEY
Just imagine what tomorrow would bring
WHITNEY & CHOIR
If we all sing one song
Yes!!!! That's it
Unbelievable 😭😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
She might as well have been standing there singing opera with the beautiful sounds coming from her mouth.
Nobody...and I mean Nobody...can do it like Whitney. She is one of a kind. She set a new standard of singing for EVERYONE who came after her. I miss her to this day.
She is BLOWING!!!
Just for the 200 time i have seen this...
BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLL😍
Damn! I think you're about 20 times ahead of me.
The fact we discovered it almost two years after it had been uploaded :D.
Nippian Nippian yeah it's kind of a blessing that I still had this tape from hi school of the performing arts
Hahaha Tell me about it!
Nippian Nippian Me too!!
Michael Cruz A wonderful clip. I’m the same age as Whitney and never till now knew she performed this song. It’s breathtaking and somehow heartbreaking. Thank you so much for sharing. What a wonderful experience for you!
Imagine if we had an artist that could sing a song like this to the world right now. This is the perfect time for this song. The entire world would be listening. This would give people hope during these times of the virus.
We need this song today july 2021. There was no race , no man , no woman, no hate. Just one voice that stretched beyond our comprehension. I believe in divinity when i hear Whitney . She had everyone’s hearts filled with love and unity. Whitney can sing to your soul, it has to be true. Idk what it is, but i knew as a child i would never hear another voice like this. Life is sio hard, , its almost unbearable. I get hope when i hear the excellence of the song bird, Whitney Houston
What a blessed day .. we all had fun performing that day.
You have made a lot of folks happy by sharing the video/audio of this performance that many of us have only read about. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us.
The fluid singing..The total control through her registers, the placement of her voice? Is she using a kind of classical technique? My GAWD..The resonance..The long belts...
Do you by chance have the studio version of this song? I read that they gave out CD copies of the song. :)
Michael Cruz you sang ?
chim91 back then !!
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!!!!!
My God...the clarity, the power, the effortless brilliance and the stunning beauty. Never before and never again will there be such an incredible woman, who’s throat was without question touched by the finger of The Almighty. Deference, respect, admiration, appreciation and total love for Whitterz. Legend.
Well said! Her voice is God. There will never be another.
Anyone who doesn't believe in a HIGHER POWER OR GOD- show them THIS!! THIS IS GOD. THIS IS HIS GIFT. Whitney perfected the craft and bestowed it upon us. We did not deserve her!!! UNWORLDLY AND FOREVERRRRR UNMATCHED! And all done soooooo effortlessly and elegantly.
I can never keep my eyes dry listening to this masterpiece of a performance! 😢
