There is something about an amazing singer who is sick that is so beautiful to me. The quality of the voice when a singer is sick has such a deep and powerful rasp. I love it.
Sister girl came out there and smashed this song right up! I actually like the raspiness in her voice. Sick, dancing, and still gave off some hellified notes
...this performance showed the changing times of the early 90's; Paula Abdul, MC Hammer, and, yes...Bobby Brown, brought more choreography to Singer's stage performances, & you'd BETTER sing 'live', after the Milli Vanni scandal..even sick, Whitney sounded great, & was STUNNING looking...
As a singer, I know the true difficulty of singing this song, even on a good day. So the fact she smashed it on a difficult vocal day says it all🙏🏻👌🏻🥇💖
Whitney's 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' album won all the top r&b categories at 1991 Billboard Music Awards! #1 Top R&B Album #1 Top R&B Artist #1 Top R&B Album and Singles Sales Artist #1 Top R&B Singles Artist #1 Top R&B Adult Contemp/Airplay Artist
This is my favorite Whitney Houston song. It makes me feel so alive. After all these years I still can’t believe she’s gone, but her music will live on forever. I love and miss you Whitney!! 💔
George Eason This song is easily my man jam every day for the rest of my life. She was sick and still sounded better than a lot of female artists who are at 100!!
Whitney did that! Choreography and all! It looked like she was really enjoying herself and the dancers. She called on her Gospel roots for the vocals 'cause the Lord will truly make a way and she knew that!
Even with her being sick I love the raw raspy sound kinda reminds me of E.J DAILY who voiced Tommy pickles and Buttercup from the PPG but she still sounds like an angel
For those who are saying she was sick during this performance. Well she wasn't. She just had vocal torn due to excessive touring during I'm Your Baby Tonight era.
Very independent of the fact that here she had a tired and somewhat sick voice, she carried out her live show, listen well live where another person would not have appeared or in a much easier case she would have done lipsync. She is very professional and she didn't give a damn as long as her audience enjoyed her great live performance, period!
The vocal trinity are objectively not good dancers, but they’re still able to put out notes and sing on key with their dances. Whitney is so cute here.
For all the people who unnecessarily try to shade a current pop star by saying Whitney never had any backup dancers bc backup dancers are flashy etc just to discredit another artist...here it is. And she killed it. Gotta learn this choreo
@@carlito5118 name one single singer who is better than her. And she doesn't lip that part. In her other performances the mic is a kilometer away from her mouth at this part.
Booooooy I tell u!! U can even getcho life off of “hoarse Whitney” I mean tired vocals with choreo and she still on point everywhere with everythang!! Go Nippy
It pisses me off that" they" (management, ignorant AF. evil record company advisors) even suggested that she should dance - something very disrespectful in my opinion for a singer of her beyond EXTRAORDINARY talent. She should of just stood there and blew that song throw the roof straight into Heaven!
Whitney went through a lot of vocal issues during this era and the whole tour, she should've cancelled it when the doctors told her there was damage to her vocal chords but she chose to go ahead instead. But WOW, once she recovered... AND IIIIIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU... And somehow she managed to sound good even with that bit of raspiness to her voice anyways.
I know that was more around 1994 during the Bodyguard Tour. She had developed vocal nodules around July 1994, three months before the tour ended. She was warned to cancel more shows, but she didn’t listen. Even around this time, I think she dealt with a vocal injury, which is something I found out not too long ago. I thought it was just during the Bodyguard Tour were all the singing and her not resting properly was taking a toll on her voice
@@markeithejackson7529 Actually she went through a lot of vocal trouble in 1991. Thankfully she recovered and by 1992 she sounded AMAZING again, beautiful as ever but maybe with a darker tone that I love. But yes, during her 1991 tour her voice was in bad shape and it shows. czcams.com/video/bleaJCdvTmU/video.html
@@markeithejackson7529 That makes perfect sense, after the global success of The Bodyguard Whitney probably became the most famous singer in the world at that time. 92, 93, 94... were years with a lot of touring and hard work. And her songs are very demanding, they are usually written in a very high key from her very first album. Even if you lower them a bit going on stage night after night must be exhausting for your vocal chords. Maybe she should've taken a break, but if very difficult to do that at the peak of your career, you know...
@@yakofdez4698 yeah after she had her daughter in 1993, she went on tour 4 months later, and I guess she was touring too much and not resting her voice properly. Plus, her heavy smoking worsened it. Even after the tour, she still sounded amazing but you can hear that her voice become gravelly around 1995
For the ones saying that Whitney's live renditions of her songs are better than the studio versions,Please show me the Whitney's live version of Lover For Life, My Love Is Your Love, Didn't We Almost Have It All, I'm Every Woman, I'm Your Baby Tonight ,I Will Always Love You,When You Believe, Love Will Save The Day,All The Man That I Need, All At Once, You Give Good Love, So Emotional,I Wanna Dance With Somebody,I Learned From The Best being better than the studio version.I'm waiting .
😂😂😂 all the songs you listed whitney killed them and chewed them like a piece of gum my favorite version of lover for life is the 1994 version from south Africa and i learned from the best best live version of whitney singing it with her pink on back in 1999 and i will always love there so many great performances of that song but i think my favorite is the 1994 Grammy performance or the 1994 world music awards performance and didn't we almost have it when whitney was in concert in the 80s with her leather jacket on these are my favorite performances.
Derrick Belmar I've seen all the performances and concerts you've been citing and much more ( cause I'm a fan of Whitney for decades,but not a delusional one ), None of these performances reach the vocal prowess,intensity nor technicity of her studio versions .They are all vocally subpar versions of her studio efforts. Subjectively,we can love a live performance of a song more than its studio version,it's subjective and entitled to preference and feelings.However,saying that a live performance is better than a studio version have to be backed up by facts and verifiable objectively.The superiority have to rely on: technique power,résonance, breath support, smooth transition , clarity ,agility and more.I Will Always Love You live is always sung in a lower key ,compared to the studio version, the live vocal runs are not as flawless ,the sustained belt is rarely as technically good as the studio version, and It's interrupted for a breath in most lives,etc I Have Nothing's highest belt is strained and pitchy in many lives .Whitney never attempt the climax of I'm Every Woman, I'm Your Baby Tonight ,Love Will Save The Day live,It's always playback .About Didn't We Almost Have It All, the live rendition you cite is good but not even close to the studio version .She avoid the studio climax ( which consists on intensely powerful consecutive upperbelts and high phrased verses ) and doded it by some yelled adlibs .Lover For Life at South Africa was a vocal disaster ,vocally compared to studio version.She has no live rendition of My Love Is Your Love being on par with the studio version.Same for all the other songs I mentioned in my initial comment.
@@carlito5118 well that's your opinion and you keep listening to the studio version of your favourites but as for me and many of her fans we love her live versions whitney can really sing and her voice was so powerful and beautiful and that's what I love about her live she always do something amazing live compared to the studio version and by the way she sung the movie version of I will always love you in the original key. What I love the live version of lover for life that studio version is ok but the live version is the best.
Nope, it's your opinion and your preference,it's not a fact that can be stated universally.You Whitney fans you think that your fave is the center of the world.which is not.You have to say that you prefer Whitney's live to her studio versions, cause it's all about your taste,your opinion,your preference .It's subjective then can't be argued.However, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT WHITNEY'S LIVE VERSIONS ARE BETTER THAN HER STUDIO VERSIONS, cause it's false and untrue,based on their verifiable aspects.Technically,artistically.vocally ,her studio version are always better than her live renditions.What you're talking about is your emotion towards her singing live,which is invalid and can't be proved to anyone.What you feel when you're listening to live Whitney have not to be what everyone feel when they're listening to her.Your statement is then biased,you can't make a rule neither an universal fact of what is subjective.
good dancing.. . but no need in trying to be new edition(i bet he told her to do it)... all we wanted was that voice ... she could have stood in one spot and song that song and still tore the house down with that voice...
The choreo kills me every time 😂 I love it
Literally 😂😂
Shes so cute in it though
It’s the background dancersss😂😂😂like why are they so ecstatic 😭
😂😂😂😂
@@aalayshasalmon5435They probably just happy to be dancing with Whitney lol 😂
This is Whitney.. this is the Whitney I only remember. So gorgeous, looks like a model.. come on girl!!!!
I wish I sounded this good while sick! *there will never be another Whitney* 👀😜
I’m not saying I’m going to be Whitney but I’m going to make it big🙏🏾. Remember the name Z😭.
Everyone wishes 😭
Early '90s Whitney was a whole vibe. 💐💐💐💐💐💐⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Singing this song is difficult enough, but dancing and singing is insane.
She was also sick
@@6aboyplays396she wasn't sick that time. She had vocal torns due to lots of concert dates during IYBT era.

No one is doing it like this sick, singing live! And dancing ?!?!❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE 1:13-1:15 for some reason. Her timbre was still beautiful when she was sick.
She sounds like Mariah Carey in there
So 90's movements. But her and the music. Forever!!!!!.

@@carlito5118 but she can sing it easily
Carlito the rap isn’t the climax of the song
@@carlito5118 She didn't lip sync it. If you notice, she smiled and kept dancing infront of camera..
She sang this sick and still sounds good. She could really sang!

This was a classic.

From backgrounds to lead to the band, wow, this was on point. And she sung it while dancing. Geeez
im so in love with it 1:13 - 1:15
Whitney did that! Choreography and all! It looked like she was really enjoying herself and the dancers. She called on her Gospel roots for the vocals 'cause the Lord will truly make a way and she knew that!
This is from Arsenio Hall show and she was sick...altough she killed: dance and sing in live !!!! 🙌🙏💪💫⭐. One and only"The Voice ❤
Beauty, talent, brains, personality. She had it all!
Frigging drugs took another.
Or did the leaches and vultures?
@@Awoodward7899 bingo!
Nippy gets mad passes because the audience and world knew she sung her heart out night after night during this era and live
For years she did
No auto tuned, no lip syncing, just pure SINGING!!!!
Her minimal steps are in sync
That lil bop she was doing at 1:04... I was like YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES WHITNEY! GO IN!! lol
Unbelievable beauty and an Amazing vocalist. RIP to a LEGEND.
You can tell she is hoarse, but she is masterful at working around it! Soo amazing, as always - beautiful performance!!!
whitney’s outfit still looks so recent.
Her minimal dances steps are so in sync.
Even with her being sick I love the raw raspy sound kinda reminds me of E.J DAILY who voiced Tommy pickles and Buttercup from the PPG but she still sounds like an angel
God bless her. She did amazing for being not well.
OMG Whitney, love her, great singing and dance, can only imagine what it would be like to be Whitneys baby for the night!! 😲
She was sooooooo beautiful
For those who are saying she was sick during this performance. Well she wasn't. She just had vocal torn due to excessive touring during I'm Your Baby Tonight era.
Breathtaking
And that’s how ya do it folks ! No smoke and mirrors there !

This literally brought tear to my eye
I miss You, Baby 😍
Whitney Whitney Whitney ❤
Poor Whitney, she was sick here and a lot during this era...
She sang really good considering all that moving. I can sing it's hard as hell to sing moving like that
Alina Mitchelson right, she still did great

I don’t think they’ll ever be another like Whitney…just amazing.
Love you, Whit!

Beautiful voice and woman!
The vocal trinity are objectively not good dancers, but they’re still able to put out notes and sing on key with their dances. Whitney is so cute here.
Wtf this is why she’s the queen ❤️❤️
❤
Обожаю эту песню. Смотрю ещё сам Бернард Эдвардс аплодирует на 2:20- это уже реально круче некуда)
клип на эту песню тоже суперский(особенно для 90-го года)👍
💗💗💗💗💗
Did she have a cold? I love those voice cracks.
Amei esse vídeo!

The mic was fully on
Arsenio Hall Show?!
What show is this from?
Arsenio Hall Show
It’s called “The Arsenio Hall Show”.
What year was this
I think it was 1991.
The climax is playback,though
AshTheOne And it proves that she lipped sometimes,even in her prime.Unlike what many of her delusional fans keep saying
@@carlito5118 name one single singer who is better than her. And she doesn't lip that part. In her other performances the mic is a kilometer away from her mouth at this part.
Um she was sick as hell here what do you expect singers voices can only take but so much and needs a break at times.
Actually sounds like the background vocalists are singing. Notice how they came in louder and stronger. Still a great performance.
Booooooy I tell u!! U can even getcho life off of “hoarse Whitney” I mean tired vocals with choreo and she still on point everywhere with everythang!! Go Nippy

Studio singer at best and lip syncing in her prime. She’ll never be the greatest vocalist of all time Mariah Carey
She shined outside the studio actually and she didn’t lip sync. Mariah is great because she wrote her own songs.
I love Mariah and It's close
your crazy. Mariah was second best
She's singing here, she had laryngitis and you can hear it.
