    Jordin did a great job considering she was paying a tribute to the one and only Whitney Houston whose voice was like no other. No one could sing this song like Whitney. I wasn't expecting her to and I also think it was very emotional for her.

      christian Williams I respectfully disagree. LOL
      Whitney’s vocals were so tasteful. Everything in the right place.
      Christina still hasn’t grasped that concept.
      Jordin was wise enough to sing the song with respect.

    • @Cledyston
      @Cledyston 4 года назад +5

      christian Williams I guess this is a matter of taste. LOL
      Christina has a nice tone but her agility is very mechanical and repetitive. She does the same run over and over again. The same blue note. There’s no creativity. Always shoving notes where there would be a more important interval.
      I like her head voice a lot when it’s soft and her chest voice when she isn’t screaming of forcing her growl.

    To people criticizing Jordan or John - they both gave an amazing performance! Jordan hits those notes perfectly and all while trying her best not to cry. That was double hard for both of them. The fact of the matter is Whitney would have been proud of both of them and of all who honored her. Tears your heart out to see Bobbi Kristina in tears and looking to the heavens, but they are together now no matter how tragic their deaths were.

    No doubt it was well intended and both sang from their hearts but you gotta admit there was a lot of hit and miss in both their performances when it comes to sustaining notes without having to cheat, beauty of tone, pitch (!!) and especially in Jordin's case commanding an audience by being in full control of all of the above. It just reminds you once again just how unparalleled Whitney was regardless of anyone's personal taste and musical preferences. There really is a lack of the craft of singing in today's popular music world and I just so would love to see Mrs. Cissy Houston to step in the ring and pass on what she had once taught her daughter. And I so wish she would not have to now grieve both the loss of a daughter and a granddaughter. My heart goes out to everyone who loved them. Whitney will forever be a part of me and the sound of her heart transmitted through her breathtaking talent shall echoe throgh the corridors of my soul eternally. So grateful, just so grateful...

    John's performance here reminds me of the original version from my childhood...man, it even takes me back to the movie soundtrack for Ali's "The Greatest"...great job by two wonderful younger performers carrying on the great tradition of singing as an art and craft. Hopefully Whitney got a kick out of seeing them carry on the legacy that she herself came to embody as a singer and entertainer. It's a pity we don't have the same caliber of artists today as the rule, rather than the exception.
