german tv show (October 3rd , 2009) You can watch the interview HERE: • Whitney Houston Interv... Please check out the Amazing Rendition by Lamiya: • Me singing I LOOK TO Y...
Her voice may not have been at its peak here, but there's no denying that she still sounded great. She adjusted accordingly and sold the song as only she could. What a loss to the world. Her talent was otherworldly.
50 years of non stop singing drugs and depressions damaged that beautiful voice. She will alsways be a big Part of music history. And im glad that she sang the hell out of everything in my childhood. She will always be THE Voice to me.
@@aaronjott2108 Well she was like 46 here, she never reached 50, it was only a big problem since mid 90s and drugs didnt damage her voice, cigarettes messed up her lungs…..google is free genius
It's so crazy how musically masterful she was. Even though she wasn't in her prime anymore, she managed to still sound good. She was insanely skilled at manuvering through her slightly broken voice.
This was beautiful! Just showed how Whitney's voice never left. Maybe people will realize that this was around the same time as her tour and how sick she was at that time with a lung infection, bronchitis and heart issues..... love you nippy, your the best always and forever
A hard life that is singing. A shame that anybody puts themselves through it if they have medical problems especially heart issues. A far different Whitney that the the woman I saw on Top of the Pops in April 1987 singing I wanna dance with somebody. She was only 23 then and single before all that happened her afterwards. This life can bring you down and Whitney went there sadly. Easy to go down under the eye of the media and the public. God bless you you. I listened to your cassette tapes when I was lonely as a teenager many a night. You had a great voice.
That's one thing about Whitney that made her LEGEND unquestionable. She will only lip sync if it's impossible for her to hear the band or orchestra because of ambient noise or if she's promoting the studio version for the first time. Whitney Houston was, is, and always will be THE TRUTH.
Well truth be told the clear tone is dull and it is a little rough, but that's alright. I'm sure God restored the beauty of her voice when she left the earth.
A true Whitney fan can hear that her voice had definitely changed. But that doesn't take from the fact that she was one of the best. ❤️The GOAT in her field. 💯
This woman was a tragic loss to the music industry….She was gold but some of us didn’t care. I personally blame the industry that caused this loss. She should have been more protected ( you know what I’m saying Bobby). She was a real person with real feelings, a mother , a wife, a performer. How can you fowl that up….I’m sorry🤦🏾♂️. Rest In Peace Whitney Houston….The world will never forget you..YOU HEARD ME💯🤲🏽
You’re a fucking idiot, Bobby had nothing to do with her drug use her brother started her smoking that mess. Get your facts straight before you make an ass of yourself.
This is what we call a timeless singer. She knew how to give emotion by her songs. 😌😌😌😌 Even when all is going wrong, when I hear her, I feel directly so better.
2020 babies n fellas..we keep looking to the MOST HIGH,THE ALMIGHTY ONE,THE LIVING GOD ONE AND ONLY KING OF KINGS r.i.p whitney and all our peers gone before us,...love to all from🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿 Tanzania
Im not sure why people sayher voice wasnt there, her voice sounded amazing to me here. She had to have been at peace here because she is glowing. RIP nippy
No other vocalist around the Globe has yet to top that Heavenly voice God gave His child, Whitney. When she sings it feels like feathers all over and around you. Thank you, God for this Gift, as I’m sure many have been and still are blessed by it!
She still sounded amazing. Her untouchable, one of a kind tone and stage presence were so amazing that they cancelled out the problems from her decreased range.
I totally agree Al'ykc. She was ONE OF A KIND. I know we all are originals, but her beautiful tone and stage presence was still there. She probably could have worked on rebuilding endurance and some range. I'm sure she has been through the trenches of physical/drug abuse. I felt for her and was rooting she would come back and rally. RIP. One day I hope to hear her sing with the angels.
There was no comeback she has always been around suffocated by the pressure around her. Its sad even today when I think about it, but she is in a better place now
This song has been on my hart since last night till now and I have played it more then 15 times this morning, what touching song ... I love you Whitney..kiss I really wished I had to opportunity to meet with you before before you gone
Whitney...what a Dignified, Amazing, Glorious, name, which you share with one of the GREATEST WOMEN, With one of the GREATEST VOICES THE WORLD WILL EVER KNOW. WHITNEY..MY LOVE😚
Thomas Gottschalk said this was her comeback but I personally feel like this was her Goodbye to us. Just like Michaels "This is it" speech. Two legends and both died tragically
I thought this was a good performance & I appreciate it even more now, I Look To You oddly enough is actually my favorite album of hers! You should hear all the songs on it if you haven't.. :) So tragic though that we thought she was back! :(
Mel Tek I agree with you! such a shame that such talented star's such as Whitney and Michael chose the path of drug addiction they were my favourite singers I cried for day's when they were pronounced dead such a waste!! 😭😭😭
@@AlexandreCharnier yeah her voice was far from her prime but she still had what makes her the Greatest of all time... tone. Her tone is rich, warm, and smooth like honey. Even with her diminished vocal ability her tone/resonance was and is absolutely unmatched.
How uncanny this song and its lyrics are to her story gives me goosebumps, still. She spoke to God, clearly and concisely, the way we all should. Continue to rest in perpetual peace, Darling.
Ruby Abbas I want you to say that Loud to those who want to cancel the man. R Kelly maybe a nasty fucking idiot but he’s written some of the greatest hits of the 90s on.
To me this was the best live performance of I look to you. She could still sing this wasn't the 80s, 90s, or even 00s Whitney this was the new Whitney. This Whitney didn't have to prove anything to any of us. She has already set records and has already captivated us with her magnificent vocal ability. She will always be number 1 because she was a true virtuoso. She always gave it her all no matter what shape her voice was in. Name another artist who can do this without any problems. Her voice was the 2010s version who could still sing songs from the 80s such as Dancing with the Stars I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Clive Davis Pre Grammy Party It's not Right But It's Okay, Good Mourning America Just One of Those Days, and from her new Album the American Music Awards performance of I Didn't Know My Own Strength just to name a few and Don't forget they all were live performances. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave her this raw talent and her gift was ministering the talent to us. What a mighty good God we serve, despite our imperfections God still loves us. Don't let this world fool you because he is the Creator of all things. He is the alpha and omega, beginning and ending don't get caught up with the things of this World it's all temporary. God wants to use us for his glory not to uplift Satan's and his satanic kingdom that will lead us to damnation. God is the way no one comes to the father but by Jesus Christ he is the only way. She is now at peace from the harsh cruelty of this World. Thank God Almighty we are not perfect, but we should strive to be but love your neighbor as yourself. Amen!!!!!!!!!!!
I look back at some of these later performances and though her voice had changed, you can still tell that she could sing. With age, length of time in the business and the unfortunate drug use she still maintained her basic vocal structure, runs and all. Some singers these days sound so bad you can't tell they ever knew how to sing. Their fans make excuses blaming age and length of years they sang, but listening to Whitney with added obstacles makes me know they have no excuse. I feel privileged to exist in the time period that Whitney occupied. The best!
She was one of the greatest singer and beautiful vocals of all time. She was a decent human and used to sing in Church with her mother. It was then. But the day that she met Bobby Brown, she was never the same Whitney that we all knew. RIP. We still remember you.
What's special and ironic and the reason why I love this particular PERFORMENCE of I look to you... is it was sung with so much emotion and her old self kind of came through a bit in her long holding soprano notes in which she used to do ALOT.. And in some WIERD way there are ANGEL WINGS AROUND HER ..like almost as if the man upstairs was actually there looking down on her and giving her her voice back
I love you Whitney... you're forever etched in my heart. When I first came to know about you when I was a kid, it was a crystal clear voice belting out 'one moment in time'. And in that one moment as far as I remember, That's the same time I first learnt singing just by hearing you. Thank you for the music, Ms. Houston. You are so dearly appreciated and missed.
rough spots or not she was till the Voice. master of her voice, whatever state it was in. fierce performance. Not easy to sing a slow, sustained song like this. Damn ..miss her.
As I lay me down Heaven hear me now I'm lost without a cause After giving it my all Winter storms have come And darkened my sun After all that I've been through Who on earth can I turn to? I look to you I look to you After all my strength is gone In you I can be strong I look to you I look to you And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song, I look to you About to lose my breath There's no more fighting left Sinking to rise no more Searching for that open door And every road that I've taken Led to my regret And I don't know if I'm gonna make it Nothing to do but lift my head I look to you I look to you And when all my strength is gone In you I can be strong I look to you I look to you And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song, I look to you My levee's have broken, my walls have come Crumbling down on me The rain is falling, defeat is calling I need you to set me free Take me far away from the battle I need you, shine on me I look to you I look to you After all my strength has gone In you I can be strong I look to you I look to you And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song, I look to you I look to you I look to you
It is amazing that R Kelley - a person who cannot read can write such wonderful songs. uhhmmpp!!! Rest in Peace Whitney. I miss your voice. God deliver R Kelly from the demons trying to ruin his life. May he come to realize he can only find peace when he surrenders to your will Lord.
Wow when Whitney said this is from me to you.....had given me goosebumps, knowing today that she isn't here anymore with us. I Look To You To Whitney. Love 💚u forevermore.
Whitney in raw form & still amazing. She really gave all to the Lord & he called her home. My angel son has it made in that pieceful place I would like to think hearing Whitney sing. Rip my son & Whitney
Whitney Houston was one of the BEST female artistic Singers around, she will always be REMEMBERED never forgotten, Love u Whitney you were One of the BEST&always will,xxx ♥ :-)
Words can be lost & sudden come. Ms.Whitney reminds me of myself in ways. Well respected woman. Whom has always Love the Body Of Christ. Love All Of her music. Rest Now Ms.Whitney Houstin.~
I love this performance. She sounds great. Its a confidence thing as well. I think she was finding her way back. I love and miss her dearly. She gives me strength and inspiration to move forward regardless of the struggles.
What I love about this performance is that she started decent, okay, almost good... then the lost it --- and I mean completely lost it for her standards... but then it happened, at 4:20 SHE was back... as if she wanted to sing in everybody's face: I am still Whitney Houston! That was a moment I will remember for a very long time.
I think overall this performance was great even though she wasn't at 100%. It's crazy how she's able to do what she does even when her voice is not at its fullest. For example all the riffs she does through the chorus and I believe the first verse.
Micah Harris it is because she is an excellent musician. Her musicality is incredible which makes her one of the best vocalist ever! She knows how to master her instrument (even in bad shape) to create great music.
Whitney passed away when I was in the 7th grade. I really wish I could’ve enjoyed her more and attended a concert of hers but I’m grateful for these memories on CZcams ❤️
Verdade Edna. Uma. Voz. Implacave. Comecou. A carreira. Cantando. Louvores. Gospel. Na igreja. Mais infelismente. as drogas Bebidas. acabou com a vida dela
She's incredible In this performance she shows she has matured so much and this song truly reflects what you will and already have experience I. Life but in the end it doesn't matter if you just look up to god for his infinite lobe a d strength with this love and understanding you will make it through beautiful song from a beautiful woman
Whitney Houston sounded absolutely beautiful here I would not have changed a thing❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Looked beautiful as well. It's the tour she was not physically, emotionally, vocally ready for. That tour happened to soon and it wore her down and out. We miss you. You are still THE VOICE.
I always come back to this performance, and remember the way I used to wish her to recover from addiction when I became a fan, in the last month of 2004. At that time, I was always looking in the internet for news of her, hoping some day to listen a new song, to see her come to stage again and shine. I didn't care too much of what people said about her voice because her soul kept being as powerful and inspiring as always. A true artist, always looking for a answer in her faith and what she believed.
It's her song written by R. Kelly years ago just for her. I feel the same way as far as the appreciating her more now. For me, I sense the true detail of what she was dealing with. Love her more now and I thought that wasn't possible.
This is a great performance, indeed, but her absolute top performance (for many reasons) of her last years was by far at the 2009 AMAs, when she sang "I didn't know my own strength". This one is criminally left out of the new CD/DVD.
G. Noah K. Marvin Jadi You guys should check her performance at X Factor Italy it was for me her best performance during the 2009-2012. I will say this I look to you performance come 2nd and then AMA's :)
The AMA performance reminded me of the 90's Whitney the way she was singing. No she didn't sound like the early 90's Whitney but she gave the My love is your love vocals a run for its money. Voice was crystal clear that night.
even at this part of her career she still song live so great and sang live better than the recorded track. Still gave us a great piece of meaningful music love her for being a stickler for keeping that consistent. No matter how much pressure she never caved in and became a sell out. Bravo, hell we all gone die but at least she stayed true
Was laying on bed, praying for the lockdown to end.. and this song popped into my head... The Lord talks to us all, we just need to listen... God Bless You Whitney...
This song really spoke to me. I loved Whitney and even after the damage to her voice I loved her. I wish she could have felt the love many of us had for her.
Well said. Like Barbara Streisand said when Whitney passed...."she was magnificent...how sad her gifts didn't bring her the same happiness they brought us"
@@thequintessential5503 sometimes people are giving sign , like my aunt never allowed anyone to do her hair and a week before she died she let a strange hair dresser do it
Stunning .............you could hear the sorrow in her voice, the heartache, the disappointments in her life!!! .............. In fact the pain in her heart! Be a light in heaven Whitney!!! We love you!!!!!!!!!
Wow. This performance is truly amazing. It feels so unfiltered and raw, as if there's minimal use of autotune or other enhancements-though there are probably many subtle ones that my untrained ears can't detect. Her voice sounds incredibly strong and grounded. It’s as if you can really hear her natural tone, her technique, and how she would have sounded rehearsing in a room. That special quality of her voice set her apart and made her truly unique-an icon. One of my favorite songs of hers is "When You Believe," as I think Whitney and Mariah really complement each other's voices in such a delicate way. They were also friends, although the media at the time tried to pit them against each other as two divas who couldn’t stand one another.
I've loved her since I was 6 yrs old. Incredible woman and spirit!! God bless her family, friends, and fans. She won't be forgotten. Rest in Paradise with our heavenly father and Lord.
Im watching u 2020 & so proud of u & feel blessed to have witnessed a voice singing like yours& so glad so touched in tears that u can stl touch my heart deep to feel every word& emotion u sing & live in me thank u whitney& i thank Jrhovah for blessing us wt ur voice that u also witnessed hs word & ner forgot God in all u did & always gev thanx & appreciated him & remimded people & wow ds song so beautiful makes me cry cos u sang like u knew u wer leaving but also it applies to all our lifes wt God & situations we go thru he pulls us thru.i wl always love u whitney to me u stl alive my sweet loving Song bird ur vouce no other can compare
After literally losing her voice and not being able to sing at all, and working herself up to this, she is absolutely amazing. Her technique is superb, she knows exactly what to do to with her voice. Obsessed with her
This song helped me when my daughter passed away. I had to find my strength through God.😇
Bless you Mme, I hope you found peace
may the Lord of Peace gave you peace, sister .......
Alicia keys
Condolences!!!
May God bless you and take your pain away!

this woman was anointed by God himself.. no one can ever deny that or take that away from her ever!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Very true
😳
YES!!!!!!!! She was!!!!! That’s why no one could or still can’t take that away from her!!! And no one will EVER compare to this angel…
Nadie la iguala no sólo por su voz sino también por su fuerza interpretativa, presencia escénica, belleza, elegancia y carisma IRREPETIBLES!!!!
Her voice may not have been at its peak here, but there's no denying that she still sounded great. She adjusted accordingly and sold the song as only she could. What a loss to the world. Her talent was otherworldly.
50 years of non stop singing drugs and depressions damaged that beautiful voice.
She will alsways be a big Part of music history. And im glad that she sang the hell out of everything in my childhood. She will always be THE Voice to me.
Her Voice was Not of this World but God Given 🙌🏾🙌🏾
true nice comm :)
😢😢😢😢
@@aaronjott2108 Well she was like 46 here, she never reached 50, it was only a big problem since mid 90s and drugs didnt damage her voice, cigarettes messed up her lungs…..google is free genius
Even with a declining voice, she is still better than what’s on the radio today!
well not many ppl can come close to her in vocal range-so even in this state she'll sound good
Wow 👏👏👏
It's so crazy how musically masterful she was. Even though she wasn't in her prime anymore, she managed to still sound good. She was insanely skilled at manuvering through her slightly broken voice.
There's not a performance that ever fails to amaze me. Even up until her last days, she had it in her. The greatest voice of all time for sure x
Tyler Foster amen. Only one. Whitney.
yes she was but this is terrible
❤
@@ptexys far from terrible
I saw her in 2010 Glasgow concert. This women is an angel from god never be another ❤❤
She sounds even better live than on album.
This was beautiful! Just showed how Whitney's voice never left. Maybe people will realize that this was around the same time as her tour and how sick she was at that time with a lung infection, bronchitis and heart issues..... love you nippy, your the best always and forever
Indeed , her voice was never gone, lung 🫁 problem killed her strength!
didn't realise she had health issues

Her voice was still so rich. Take me far away from the battle. Thank you Lord.
She definitely didn't lip sync! She is a truly legend. There was nothing wrong with her voice!!
That's one thing about Whitney that made her LEGEND unquestionable. She will only lip sync if it's impossible for her to hear the band or orchestra because of ambient noise or if she's promoting the studio version for the first time. Whitney Houston was, is, and always will be THE TRUTH.

The evolution of Whitney! A beautiful raspy bluesy voice! People say she lost her voice.. I think she truly found it here
This was not her comeback... it was her goodbye :´-( I still miss her so much. The Voice.
yes
No
She was planning a second comeback at the time of her death.
There was no comeback she has always been around suffocated by the pressure around her. Its sad even today when I think about it, but she is in a better place now
MinmatarDE watch ur mouth
This woman was a rare gem and gift given to the world for a little while. Let's keep in mind R. Kelly wrote this beautiful song.
The gift of singing was given to Whitney by the all mighty father God.
given the condition of her voice, she will still win every singing competition out there..how i wish i can have her voice
She sang this better than the studio version. But that's what she always does when she sings live.
Agree As many of the greatest artist are better live
Whitney Fan47 exactly!
Whitney Fan47 yes she did I love this

After all she went through she was still a superstar and her voice and all the love there will never be another Whitney so wish she was still with us
This was very good. Proof she could have regained her voice close to 100%
Unfortunately she was far from 100%….her voice was very damaged at this time.
@@AlexandreCharnier yeah her voice was far from her prime but she still had what makes her the Greatest of all time... tone. Her tone is rich, warm, and smooth like honey. Even with her diminished vocal ability her tone/resonance was and is absolutely unmatched.
No chance it was damaged beyond repairable
It was not her voice, she needed to improve her health.
One's voice reflects health issues.
you can tell that she's no way near what her vocal range use to be-she dialled it down
this may not be her best, but still better than 99.9 % of world.

R Kelly wrote this song for Whitney. The lyrics say everything!!
Thank you R Kelly for writing and producing this gem of a song for Whitney :)

Ruby Abbas : R Kelly one of the greatest song writers of all time. A total genius!!!
Ruby you got me cracking up at work you so funny 😆
Ooh it's R.Kelly who wrote for her the song?!!wow!!the 90s had gem of Artistes.
Whitney alway sung from her heart and beautiful. I feel she touched people with her gift.
Thank you so much Whitney Houston.
Indeed. :-)
Beautiful song sung by the beautiful one & only Whitney Houston. ❤️✝️😢
I remember watching this in 2009 and buying several of her I look to you albums. I love you Whitney.
To me this was the best live performance of I look to you. She could still sing this wasn't the 80s, 90s, or even 00s Whitney this was the new Whitney. This Whitney didn't have to prove anything to any of us. She has already set records and has already captivated us with her magnificent vocal ability. She will always be number 1 because she was a true virtuoso. She always gave it her all no matter what shape her voice was in. Name another artist who can do this without any problems. Her voice was the 2010s version who could still sing songs from the 80s such as Dancing with the Stars I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Clive Davis Pre Grammy Party It's not Right But It's Okay, Good Mourning America Just One of Those Days, and from her new Album the American Music Awards performance of I Didn't Know My Own Strength just to name a few and Don't forget they all were live performances. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave her this raw talent and her gift was ministering the talent to us. What a mighty good God we serve, despite our imperfections God still loves us.

God wants to use us for his glory not to uplift Satan's and his satanic kingdom that will lead us to damnation. God is the way no one comes to the father but by Jesus Christ he is the only way. She is now at peace from the harsh cruelty of this World. Thank God Almighty we are not perfect, but we should strive to be but love your neighbor as yourself. Amen!!!!!!!!!!!
The one she sung with Kim Burrell I think was better, but I like this one too.

Jesus isnt a god or son of a god . Use your brain hes a prophet
I really agree with you....😍🙏🙏
I look back at some of these later performances and though her voice had changed, you can still tell that she could sing. With age, length of time in the business and the unfortunate drug use she still maintained her basic vocal structure, runs and all. Some singers these days sound so bad you can't tell they ever knew how to sing. Their fans make excuses blaming age and length of years they sang, but listening to Whitney with added obstacles makes me know they have no excuse. I feel privileged to exist in the time period that Whitney occupied. The best!
you told nothing but the truth fam
yes!! so true
Autumn Rose Mariah has nodules on her vocal cords as she ages they get worst that's why people say her age and length singing
in this vid she ist 46. sure her voice is deeper and older and not like a 25 year old girl voice. but i like that
Thank you for that deep and classy comment. Much appreciated. :-)
It's too sad that she's gone. I miss her so much. She still had a great voice.
She sounds better than most Whitney would have come on top again she is still the best that’s has ever been the voice
She was one of the greatest singer and beautiful vocals of all time. She was a decent human and used to sing in Church with her mother. It was then. But the day that she met Bobby Brown, she was never the same Whitney that we all knew. RIP. We still remember you.
miss you so much,Whitney!
The greatest female singer of all times! The queen, the voice! No one will ever compare to this extraordinary woman! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!❤❤❤
What's special and ironic and the reason why I love this particular PERFORMENCE of I look to you... is it was sung with so much emotion and her old self kind of came through a bit in her long holding soprano notes in which she used to do ALOT.. And in some WIERD way there are ANGEL WINGS AROUND HER ..like almost as if the man upstairs was actually there looking down on her and giving her her voice back
Legendary and breath-taking from one of the most gifted singers that walked the face of the earth-Whitney.
I love you Whitney... you're forever etched in my heart. When I first came to know about you when I was a kid, it was a crystal clear voice belting out 'one moment in time'. And in that one moment as far as I remember, That's the same time I first learnt singing just by hearing you. Thank you for the music, Ms. Houston. You are so dearly appreciated and missed.
God it still hurts to see her knowing she is no longer with us. RIHP Whitney!
One of the most emotional and endearing songs I have ever heard. Never ceases to make me cry.
rough spots or not she was till the Voice. master of her voice, whatever state it was in. fierce performance. Not easy to sing a slow, sustained song like this. Damn ..miss her.
As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all
Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?
I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you
About to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door
And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
I look to you
I look to you
And when all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you
My levee's have broken, my walls have come
Crumbling down on me
The rain is falling, defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you, shine on me
I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength has gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you
I look to you
I look to you
It is amazing that R Kelley - a person who cannot read can write such wonderful songs. uhhmmpp!!! Rest in Peace Whitney. I miss your voice. God deliver R Kelly from the demons trying to ruin his life. May he come to realize he can only find peace when he surrenders to your will Lord.
❤
Wow when Whitney said this is from me to you.....had given me goosebumps, knowing today that she isn't here anymore with us. I Look To You To Whitney. Love 💚u forevermore.
Whitney in raw form & still amazing. She really gave all to the Lord & he called her home. My angel son has it made in that pieceful place I would like to think hearing Whitney sing. Rip my son & Whitney
"And when all my strength is gone, in you I can be strong." - Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston was one of the BEST female artistic Singers around, she will always be REMEMBERED never forgotten, Love u Whitney you were One of the BEST&always will,xxx ♥ :-)
i love u whitney...you are a legend..❤❤❤❤
And even when they said come back .......... God gave her this . Girl. I love u
Words can be lost & sudden come. Ms.Whitney reminds me of myself in ways. Well respected woman. Whom has always Love the Body Of Christ. Love All Of her music. Rest Now Ms.Whitney Houstin.~
She sounds great here. You can tell she got her vocal rest.
I love this performance. She sounds great. Its a confidence thing as well. I think she was finding her way back. I love and miss her dearly. She gives me strength and inspiration to move forward regardless of the struggles.
What I love about this performance is that she started decent, okay, almost good... then the lost it --- and I mean completely lost it for her standards... but then it happened, at 4:20 SHE was back... as if she wanted to sing in everybody's face: I am still Whitney Houston! That was a moment I will remember for a very long time.
I think overall this performance was great even though she wasn't at 100%. It's crazy how she's able to do what she does even when her voice is not at its fullest. For example all the riffs she does through the chorus and I believe the first verse.
Micah Harris it is because she is an excellent musician. Her musicality is incredible which makes her one of the best vocalist ever! She knows how to master her instrument (even in bad shape) to create great music.
Whitney passed away when I was in the 7th grade.
I really wish I could’ve enjoyed her more and attended a concert of hers but I’m grateful for these memories on CZcams ❤️
Sempre será DIVA🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️🌟
Alguém em 2019?
Amo ela, ela é muito melhor que a Mariah
Eu 💓💓
@@SamuelSilva-vh5ib com certeza meu amigo!! Ela é a melhor que já pisou na terra.
Agora 06/09/2019 Recife PE
Verdade Edna. Uma. Voz. Implacave. Comecou. A carreira. Cantando. Louvores. Gospel. Na igreja. Mais infelismente. as drogas Bebidas. acabou com a vida dela
Brasil 2020... que voz, que cantora.. sem palavras..
She was ready! She did away with the cigarettes and was getting her voice back! Rest on Nippy!
She was my woman hero. Her songs always give encourage to go on strength still today. I'm glad she rest
One of her greatest performances in her later years. Some notes sounded like 90's Whitney. Absolutely breathtaking. R.I.P.
Yeah I don’t think cigarettes was her problem lmao
@@MercifulExorcist They definitely were. She was smoking since she was a teenager and was diagnosed with emphysema before she died.
She's incredible In this performance she shows she has matured so much and this song truly reflects what you will and already have experience I. Life but in the end it doesn't matter if you just look up to god for his infinite lobe a d strength with this love and understanding you will make it through beautiful song from a beautiful woman
Whitney Houston sounded absolutely beautiful here I would not have changed a thing❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Looked beautiful as well. It's the tour she was not physically, emotionally, vocally ready for. That tour happened to soon and it wore her down and out. We miss you. You are still THE VOICE.
She is incomparable. Her rich tone still makes her unbelievably amazing legend. RIP Ms. Whitney.
RIP in Paradise Whitney H. so bless 😢
I always come back to this performance, and remember the way I used to wish her to recover from addiction when I became a fan, in the last month of 2004. At that time, I was always looking in the internet for news of her, hoping some day to listen a new song, to see her come to stage again and shine. I didn't care too much of what people said about her voice because her soul kept being as powerful and inspiring as always. A true artist, always looking for a answer in her faith and what she believed.

It's her song written by R. Kelly years ago just for her. I feel the same way as far as the appreciating her more now. For me, I sense the true detail of what she was dealing with. Love her more now and I thought that wasn't possible.
When Jehovah gives you a gift, NOTHING can take it away! So anointed!
What a beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Yes sweetheart I look to you 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Even this day my heart still hurts
A good friend of mine really loved this song...and she has since passed away too! I can barely make it thru this song whenever I hear it!😞
Her best performance of the period 2009-2012. It should have been released on Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances CD/DVD.....
This is a great performance, indeed, but her absolute top performance (for many reasons) of her last years was by far at the 2009 AMAs, when she sang "I didn't know my own strength". This one is criminally left out of the new CD/DVD.
G. Noah K. Marvin Jadi You guys should check her performance at X Factor Italy it was for me her best performance during the 2009-2012. I will say this I look to you performance come 2nd and then AMA's :)
G. Noah K. I absolutely agree, she looked and sounded her best of her last era at the 2009 AMA's.
The AMA performance reminded me of the 90's Whitney the way she was singing. No she didn't sound like the early 90's Whitney but she gave the My love is your love vocals a run for its money. Voice was crystal clear that night.
Marvin Jadi u don't think her singing I didn't know my own strength on Oprah was the best in 09
even at this part of her career she still song live so great and sang live better than the recorded track. Still gave us a great piece of meaningful music love her for being a stickler for keeping that consistent. No matter how much pressure she never caved in and became a sell out. Bravo, hell we all gone die but at least she stayed true
Was laying on bed, praying for the lockdown to end.. and this song popped into my head... The Lord talks to us all, we just need to listen... God Bless You Whitney...
Her voice still has it after all she have been through. That woman was blessed
This song really spoke to me. I loved Whitney and even after the damage to her voice I loved her. I wish she could have felt the love many of us had for her.
Well said. Like Barbara Streisand said when Whitney passed...."she was magnificent...how sad her gifts didn't bring her the same happiness they brought us"
Watching now June 8,2019
And Im crying watching our beloved Whitnet Struggling 😓😓
Me too
2019 and still searching for Whitney Houston's live performances....
2019 sempre maravilhosa ...
About to lose my breath
There is no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door...
She was definitely talking about how she was going to die
@@thequintessential5503 sometimes people are giving sign , like my aunt never allowed anyone to do her hair and a week before she died she let a strange hair dresser do it
PERFEITA, UMAS das melhores cantoras, uma voz rara,que pena que se foi tão jovem,apresentação perfeita.
linda, salve, salve Whitney.
Stunning .............you could hear the sorrow in her voice, the heartache, the disappointments in her life!!! .............. In fact the pain in her heart! Be a light in heaven Whitney!!! We love you!!!!!!!!!
Still love Whitney 🖤🎙👑 2019
Wow. This performance is truly amazing. It feels so unfiltered and raw, as if there's minimal use of autotune or other enhancements-though there are probably many subtle ones that my untrained ears can't detect. Her voice sounds incredibly strong and grounded. It’s as if you can really hear her natural tone, her technique, and how she would have sounded rehearsing in a room. That special quality of her voice set her apart and made her truly unique-an icon. One of my favorite songs of hers is "When You Believe," as I think Whitney and Mariah really complement each other's voices in such a delicate way. They were also friends, although the media at the time tried to pit them against each other as two divas who couldn’t stand one another.
I've loved her since I was 6 yrs old. Incredible woman and spirit!! God bless her family, friends, and fans. She won't be forgotten. Rest in Paradise with our heavenly father and Lord.
Beautiful, soulful, haunted.. I miss the glory of Whitney.
She hit that "yooouuuu" at 4:12 so perfectly 💓
Im watching u 2020 & so proud of u & feel blessed to have witnessed a voice singing like yours& so glad so touched in tears that u can stl touch my heart deep to feel every word& emotion u sing & live in me thank u whitney& i thank Jrhovah for blessing us wt ur voice that u also witnessed hs word & ner forgot God in all u did & always gev thanx & appreciated him & remimded people & wow ds song so beautiful makes me cry cos u sang like u knew u wer leaving but also it applies to all our lifes wt God & situations we go thru he pulls us thru.i wl always love u whitney to me u stl alive my sweet loving Song bird ur vouce no other can compare
After literally losing her voice and not being able to sing at all, and working herself up to this, she is absolutely amazing. Her technique is superb, she knows exactly what to do to with her voice. Obsessed with her
Just like yesterday. You are still fresh. Rest on Dear Whitney.
