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

      Livello di whitney , lei resta unica e irraggiungibile
      Io penso che ad oggi non sia ancora nata una come whitney ❤🌹

    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.

    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.

    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"
