    FYI! Whitney specifically finds musicians that know how to improvise with her. She is the conductor of her band. Rare. Not many do this. That’s why many musicians call her a musician aside from a singer.

      Thank you for the info. I'm beginning to see a few parallels between her and Elvis - I've heard a lot of his recording sessions and he was definitely a band leader. Both were amazing interpreters of material, both mastered many genres...

      @@bridgethegapreactions Other simliarities and coincidences: Well her mother Cissy Houston was part of the sweet inspirations at some point which sang background vocals for Elvis.
      Whitney met Elvis when she was 6. They didn't write their own songs but both were master interpreters. They both fought with addictions and both were found dead in a bathroom. They were both divorced at the time of their death and both left a daughter behind - very tragic endings for both but they left such an unforgettable mark on this world through their talents and both had huge hearts - maybe too big for them to be in showbusiness.
      And finally a duet with these two would have been epic!

    As a Whitney Houston fan of 30 years i would strongly recommend I Have Nothing (LIVE IN BRAZIL - 1994), which is THE BEST LIVE VERSION of her bodyguard hit. And 1991 Billboard Music Awards performance of Loverman/My Man/All the man I need (it's a medley performance)..

    Great reaction, man. I highly recommend you "Saving all my love for you" live in Japan 1991. It starts with an incredible smooth saxophone and she made a complete different version of the studio record and it's so much better. After that I've never been listening to the studio version again. Whitney was the icon of the 80s/90s for a reason. She's part of the vocal trinity together with Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. But she was always my favorite singer.

    When you talk about the breakdown and stretching the song out with improvisations and riffs, that is from the Black church and Gospel music where the musicians know how to follow the singer who may be just letting the Spirit guide them and a lot of that may not have been rehearsed. You just go by the feelings and energy; in sync.

    Perhaps my favorite Whitney Houston awards show performance of all time, rivaled only by her in 94 at the American musical awards: 👉🏽 Whitney Houston Billboard 1991 Loverman -My Man - All the man I need.
    One thing Whitney Houston fans love most about her is her ability to reinterpret classic songs. The song she sings in the 91 melody are all song originally by Billie Holliday, and later reinterpreted by Diana Ross and Barbara Streisand.

    It is said that Whitney sang this song to Robin...
    She was such a great singer that her voice could be considered an instrument. She knew everything about music and singing. People consider her a God blessed talent, but if you analyze her more deeply, you realize how trained she was and how consciously did what she did.
    Why does she mean the most to me? Because her performances are cathartic. And the purpose of art is exactly that: catharsis. I already felt this as a little girl, of course I couldn't articulate it yet. I didn't even know English. Whitney touched my soul just with her voice.

    Poor video quality, great performance from the young Whitney. You can still hear her child-voice.

    • @nahuelma97
      @nahuelma97 Год назад

      This song being sung to Robyn makes a lot of sense in terms of time, when we are in her timeline so to speak, and also in terms of the intensity of the emotion in the song. Not that it's rare to have Whitney generate emotions in others, but it is rare to see her be moved herself by the song she's singing. That's on a whole other level tbh. Thanks for adding that spice to my experience of listening/watching this lol
