    This vocal is beyond absurd. So clean, effortless and choosey at her will. No danger of being out of key. Stunning staggering vocal.

    The woman sang her own backup. God did it when he made that voice. Her voice tore through racial barriers. And made her eternal and signature.

    • @hattyfarbuckle

      If God made her voice he also made sure she couldn't dance - voice like an angel snd visually beautiful too so can't let her dance too

    The old Wembley stadium. Incredible. I once saw Tina Turner in that stadium. Never felt anything like it before or since. Whitney in her prime had a voice that is untouchable in the history of popular music. On her 'The Greatest Love Tour' in 1986 she delievered some of the most devestating LIVE performances I've ever heard. Till this day I've never heard anyone else do what she did on that tour. Her voice was so supernatural that its defies reason. She is the greatest voice of her generation!

    As a songwriter and fan ......I will always love Whitney! She may be gone from Earth but, not
    From our hearts. I will listen to her music or sing one of her songs everyday for the rest of my life in tribute to the most captivating and talented vocalist of my lifetime.
    I am blessed to have been alive during her lifetime. I have never been blessed enough to see her in concert live but, I will keep writing songs and playing her music as it has inspired me to call on God first and love one another whole-heartedly.

    Many people knows and remembered Whitney for her 90's hits like "I will always love you", but I prefer her 80's hits especially from her first album. I think Michael Masser was the best song writer who ever cooperate with her. And this song is one of Whitney and Masser's masterpiece along with "ALL AT ONCE"

    • @Swahili14

    Anytime I want to give up on improving my character, I listen to this beautiful soul. All negativity, & egotistic thoughts just seem to cease when I hear her. I never met her but I love her for every bit of goodness she instilled in so many by sharing such an exclusive voice. It is easy to let a cold world dictate your limit of kindness, but it is a never-ending quarrel to truly be selfless, expecting nothing in return.

    I always watch this video with mixed feelings. Firstly, it's an extraordinary performance by an artist at the peak of her powers - the purity and power of her voice is stunning. On the other hand, the beautiful young woman we see in this clip is just a few years away from squandering her talent and ultimately her life.
