She had it until the very end. The concert she did back in 2010 wasn’t the best time for her, that’s it. But she could have recovered a great deal of her voice with rest and a healthier lifestyle.
Agreed ! She is the voice of my lifetime and I miss her so much I pray each night and play The Greatest Love of All …… It gives me hope … For when we find that special place that we’ve been dreaming of and if it should lead us to a lonely place ….. we will find our strength in love. Never give up on dreaming. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of All…..
There are many components that made her voice so special. 1 - that god given pitch perfect tone. She could speak a page from the phone book and it would make you think it’s a song. 2 - She learnt how to sustain notes and make her voice supple, free and elastic. 3 - the vibrato, nothing more needs to be said on that vibrato. Flawless in sound until the end. 4 - Melisma yes, kind of a factor although without it I think she still would have sounded the best! still impressive but many can do the same that must be stated! The most important of all, she knew when to sing soft and when to go hard. She added extra notes whenever she sang any YOU or OU word/vowel (almost in a way that sends a feeling that she was desperate to declare love you ‘you’ (whoever she was singing about). For example, I believe she sang IWALY about Robyn Crawford. I really do believe that was her saying, we shared a special something and I will always love that but I can’t give you what you need…. When Whitney sang ‘Love Yoooouuu ou ou aaaa’ it was like she was hugging the person she was singing about through that one note. This example is why she was pure genius. She knew exactly how to portray the emotion. That went beyond her tone & any sort of learnt technique. This was Whitney’s biggest gift of all, making you feel what she felt. My whole point is, Whitney Houston never lost the ability to make you feel what she felt through song. Yes her voice changed some what in sound. But baby you best believe she used it in the same way as always and that ability was NEVER lost !!!
Her voice was still in good shape in 2000. She still delivered great performances. Not as consistent as before, but she still could singer any singer under the table during this era. These performances shows that she was still a vocal beast here. 🙂
It was pretty much what I expected, her chest voice was still so good, amd of course her headvoice, no question, but that God Bless America performance, was stunning, her voice was as clear as ever!! Hadn't seen that before! 😮❤
Anyone who knew her personally within her musical capacity knew she did not lose any of her voice! Her voice became her only power and in order to hold onto fragments of dignity and power, she had to fool the puppet masters from time to time. While her behaviour wasn’t always in her control due to substance, her voice was mostly in her control.
She could always pull it off, and always sang live. You got to give it to her. I really like the MLIYL Tour (1999). She sounded mature, and her vocals were great. This was a well put together video. Thank you
WHITNEY alwaysss gave it her ALL!! No matter what was going on in her life.. We owe it to her to love and respect her alwaysss and be greatful for the inspiration she still gives us to this day through her legacy 🙏🏼❤️🌟
almost the same but you can definitely hear the difference especially with higher belts and breath support. the very early 2000 performances (GLOA, God bless america) sounds exactly like her 1999 voice.
A lot of people think that her talent was all natural, but if you really listen, you’ll hear these intricate things she just HAD to have learned. riffers like her or Kim Burrell add to their runs things that are more than simply going up and down a scale or adding an accidental note! She has musical knowledge!
@@clamclam3people always try to short cut the REAL work it is to sing well, saying talent and it’s natural but forget skill must be learned to even be considered talent
Her voice certainly had changed but it was still, i believe, a situation she could reverse, if she tried..didnt she understang the change and the damage on her voice...?i mean, other people pray to have a voice like this....i wonder what she was thinking...
If you are saying that she hadn't lost her voice by 2000...I'd say you don't know Whitney's voice like I do....Here in these performances you can hear the huskiness and lack of breath control to project her voice because of chain smoking, maybe apart from 'God Bless America...Her voice was ok, but it HAD deteriorated hugely....
I love Whitney!!! Although during the 2000 era her voice had its ups and downs! At times I've noticed she couldn't deliver as other times! Just being real! But one thing about Whitney is that she always gave you the best she had! Miss her! RIH 🙏🏾🌹
She was and is a beautiful Queen . Whitney lives on her essence is all around us! I think the smoking affected her breathing which when doing tours hurt her!
What i really like about whitney is that even when she wasn't at her best vocally, she didn't turn to lipsyncing like mariah's been doing since the late 90s.
The range was not the same as her 80s-mid 90s career ( her best vocal years imo). However, her tone and ability were still there (her tone is best in the late 90s and 2000s imo). The power was also gone for the most part.
We kind of have the same opinion. For me, her tone was at the pinnacle in this time period. Her voice matured and darkened and ugh it was just chocolate. Her duet with Bobby Brown in one song which I forgot, her tone was impeccable in that performance. I also loved her tone during BG era, but nothing beats her tone after it. It’s too bad that she lost quite a significant power and ease than she did when she was younger. But hey, that usually happens to belters and this woman went through a lot. Health issues, miscarriage, child birth, etc. all affected her voice by a lot but that tone remained glorious. Ugh.
Toward the mid and late 2000s, she started to regress more and lost that power and holding those long notes. She still was great, but you can tell things were really taking a toll on her. I wish she knew how much of a great singer and person she was and just left Bobby and all the toxicity alone. Especially the addiction she had, I know it wasn’t easy, but Bobby didn’t really do her any favors at all, and just always left a bitter taste in my mouth. I’m sorry, but he didn’t seem joyful to have such a queen and lady like her… her brother introduced her to drugs at a young age of 14 I think or something like that, and he was just not a good person. There was so many bad things in her life. No matter how much fame and recognition and love she got from fans, she still was very depressed, and just didn’t know how good she was.
I was lucky enough to see her at the NEC in Birmingham, UK when I wanna Dance with Somebody (who loves me) was at its highest. That song even today sounds amazing. She IS amazing and I Wanna Dance remain my all time favourite songs decades later. I play it every single day. Really miss her :-(
The highlight of the 2000 Grammy and Pre Grammy party, could be highlighted in that Clive (and Whitney) taking ownership in that they pushed her to sing a whole hour concert for the Pre Grammy party. I’m sure Clive asked (requested) and she had to oblige. I’ve ALWAYS thought her Grammy performance was snubbed because her voice was tired and overworked from the night before. That’s part Clive/management fault, and part Whitney. Her voice had some really amazing moments…but it was hoarse. She rebounded during the infamous Arista 25th a few months later, and her voice was soaring. But 2000 was the beginning of her voice truly not cooperating with her.
She didn't COMPLETELY lose her voice, but it was severely damaged. And it happened pretty fast too. In 1996, she was still able to sing most of her old songs in their original key, but a year later, she simply couldn't handle her old songs the way they were originally arranged. And it all went downhill from there. A decade later, her voice was in tatters.
Not completely true, she could still sing her songs in 1997. Tokyo concert is proof of that. Mid 97/98, some vocal vocal troubles can be heard, but in 1999, she was back on top! And the only song she really changes from the og arrangement is I wanna dance with somebody.
The title of this video should be retitled "10 performances that PROVE Whitney Houston LOST her voice by 2000". Her voice was essentially gone by the Preacher's Wife. But, honestly who cares? The 10 years of great singing that she gave us from 1985-1995 will NEVER be surpassed! The greatest singer of all time!
That's not true! she still had her voice in 1996 it was just tired and overworked. Some vocal troubles began in 1997/98 but she regained her voice in 1999 for her world tour!

Devil's horn sign in the thumbnail picture. Was she part of the club?
She was sold into it so it would make sense that as her life was unraveling, she started showing the signs to them to protect her more.
Those were not devils horns. She was pointing if you take a look at the actual clip. Thumbnail just happen to show this frame mid movement
