No auto tune, no gimmicks, just one of the best pure voices ever. Absolutely beautiful.

The audience was so privileged to witness this performance live.

That's crazy that a human can even sound like this and this was live. Whitney was a whole Angel out here!!

I think Prince’s expression at 2:36 says it all. Too beautiful for words. ❤

Notice how quiet it was. Everyone just wanted to hear her incredible voice. I would too tbh. I wish I could have seen her live. Just once.

People always talk about Whitney's voice which was legendary, but she was so beautiful as well.

When Prince is having a moment you know this is different. EPIC!

Her voice was so clear. She was not sweating, no handkerchief. It means she was healthy. I want to remember her this way. Rest easy Queen❤

Who is watching this in 2020‼️ This voice is timeless 😍😍😍😘

When you have Prince with his eyes closed you know your performance was great because that dude was hard to impress😂😂😂

I don’t know about everyone else but good music makes me forget all my problems, financially and otherwise

I have never come across an artist who delivers the live version better than the studio version. absolutely insane. she is and always will be the best vocalist ever.

No noise, no back up singers, no heavy make up just pure voice wow.

All she did was stand there and sing. The power in this performance something singers today can’t do.

2023? Almost 30 years later, she’s still untouched.

I envy the audience for watching her sing in front of them!

Sixteen different vocal techniques in one song. She was beyond incredible.

Guys take your time and realize that this is live. This woman shouldnt be compared at all

THIS WOMAN IS PHENOMENAL, NO ONE CAN BEAT HER 🖤🖤🖤

She still brings tears to my eyes, especially, these live performances. I am sure I am not the only one

She was extremely beautiful

Her singing tastes expensive and rich. Like wine.

Her voice gives me chills. She sounds like an angel from Heaven. What a God given talent this woman had!

I think it’s so cool to look back at this and not see one person with a phone. Everyone is enjoying Whitney in that moment. I wish I could have lived at a time like this 💕

2022 here with me

She didn’t even have to kill the song like that. Damn, the control she had over her voice was simply flawless.

Damm when she lets go at 3 minutes she unleashes her power. Imagine being there live that voice must have bounced through that auditorium

Had Prince in a trance!!! My heaven this woman was in a league of her own!! The best singer to ever pick up a microphone! There will never be another Whitney Houston! May she rest well in love & peace!!

Her voice could have the power of a whole orchestra or the gentle flutterings of a single flute. Unbelievable.

This is breathtaking. No pre-recorded live vocals, no autotunes, no “audience help me out.” No hitting notes and breaking them down into runs. She just hit the notes and held them clean and with such a powerful mid-belt. On key! This was back in the day when you had to be talented to be famous. I miss those days.

Probably the best vocal performance of all time. A treasure

I cry every time I hear Whitney sing this song. She was Heaven sent. A Angel living in Paradise 🕊😘💔

Ladies and Gentlemen may I present the greatest singer who ever lived..

She sounds better live than on her albums.

She is THE greatest singer of all time. No not even Aretha betters her. She has so much control, such great tone, such strength and such soul ❤

This still gives me goosebumps. RIP Whitney 🙏

That tone, specially in those low notes, is unmatchable. No one else can make me cry listening to this song but Whitney. I know Dolly wrote it and sang it too, but those pauses, the way she emphazises certain words... It's magical. It's worth to be human for stuff like this.

The audience cant even clap they are so shook by her power

I’m 58 and IMO she is by far the greatest female singer of my lifetime. Just an amazing voice!!

She was sensational. That voice, no one will ever come close to it.

No excessive clothes, no heavy makeup, no backup dancer. Only her voice needed to slay everything!

Why do people even try to top her? Her voice is silk, gold, diamond, and steel all at once!

OMG I got chills. No one compares. She is the voice

Her voice was just extraordinary. The audience was so silent, like they knew they were witnessing something so rare and almost magic. Truly one of the most beautiful voices of all time, and I believe that statement will still hold true 1,000 years from now. RIP Whitney. We will always love you. ❤️

Still listening to this angelic voice in 2021, and its still no voice like the unconquerable Whitney Houston.

The time when the voice was louder than the music because it was all about the voice and the singer’s musicality.

2023 and I’m still heartbroken that she passed away. RIP legend

Her mother’s smile watching and listening to her daughter sing is so beautiful. 😭🎶💕

The last "you" is unmistakable genius.

This has got to be one of the best performances I've seen

The live version is better than the recorded version 🤯

She has the best technique in singing, her vibrato, her voice, that's all unique.

A message to the future generations: "Don't let Whitney Houston's songs die"

I saw her live 1994. Such a blessing ❤ Greatest singer of our lifetime.

Still the most beautiful voice in the world.

The best female vocalist to ever walk earth she just makes me so emotional - prince’s reaction to her voice is so beautiful

She was extremely beautiful No excessive clothes, no heavy makeup, no backup dancer. Only her voice needed to slay everything!

i just came from watching dolly parton singing this and i LOVE the difference between the way they both sing it. Dolly sings it in a way that seems like she's already moved on from it, setting the boundaries almost as if she's writing a letter after coming to full acceptance of the situation. Whitney sings it in a way where it seems she's coming to that conclusion on the spot, the cut is still fresh and it's a difficult parting in the moment. both versions are passionate but coming from different places in their hearts. This song is beautiful and anyone could make it sound amazing if it's being sang from their own personal experience or feelings on the message.

What an extraordinary performance, as close to perfection as a singer could do live. Starting with her dress and posture. Fully focused on the lyrics and voice modulation. Her beautiful face acts along with her words. Definitely a performance for the ages.

The control, the tone, the vibrato, the interpretation, the power, the agility... nobody has them all together.

That moment when you saw Prince with his eyes closed and jamming, you knew this was a timeless stunner. Unmatched.

One of the most heavenly voices of my life time. ❤️

What a gorgeous voice. RIP Whitney Houston. Your voice will live for eternity.

That resonance, that vibrato, the emotion, and the TALENT of that woman is out of this world. There will never be a singer as amazing as Whitney...

Literally you could hear a pin drop from the silence yet could tell everyone in the audience was on the edge of their seats witnessing pure talent beauty and one of the best songs ever written

No words to describe such talent

She is still with us. The greatest singer ever!🙏🏾💗☮️🌟👌🏾

When the camera turned to Prince I lost it. The tears won’t stop. I miss them both.

I hope everyone in that crowd knows how lucky they were to have this once in a lifetime opportunity. Every. Damn. One.

I don’t why I am so amazed specifically at 3:56 - 4:01 its like she’s walking down a stair! 😂 One of the best singer ever.

Quite sure she got a standing ovation after EVERY live performance❤

2:34 Prince nods...it's a good sign. Whitney Houston: the best female voice of all time!

This era of Whitney is the epitome of why she is the greatest singer who ever lived and there will never be anyone like her. Beauty, grace, poise, stunning vocals, stage presence without even having to move, it just doesn't get better. Her tone was stunning. I'm so thankful I grew up during this time to be a part of her reign.

No one better not ever think they can even begin to top this woman. She was in a category all by herself.

No autotune, no Dancers, only her voice.

the audience doesn't even scream.. they just sit there watching with profound respect

No one even comes close to her vocals absolutely amazing ❤

2023 and I will always love this song!

The fact that she sings this song like it’s a piece of cake 👏🏻

To see Cissy look at her daughter with so much pride, but you can see in her mother’s eyes that she knew her daughter was hurting. The greatest voice of our time ❤️

No one can sing it like her ever she is one and only

Omg…dunno who can do this live just like her with nothing but her voice and her charisma and beauty…😢

Her voice sends chills....she is deeply miss...

This woman was a gift of god. No one can deny that. Her voice was one of a kind and today's so called stars should be bowing in awe of her life. May she rest in peace

Never seen a crowd so invested and focused. This is what is lacking from Music today. I wished I was sitting in that crowd, it would be my favorite story to tell..❤

Her voice was so effortless and yet powerful, like a cloud combined with a tidal wave 🌊🤩🗣️🎤🎶

Before and after Whitney, there will be no other. THE VOICE!!!

Her voice actually sounded like an instrument. Unreal singer ❤️

Me and my friends listen to this every week. Getting older, makes you realize things. No one will ever come close to her. Ever.

What a singer she was!!! Unbelievable!!!!

It looks so effortless, which is WHY she's best singer in history.

This 90s was without a doubt the best ever just look at the audience . Talent like this will never be around

Whitney is by far the best singer of the 80s. Her voice is not only beautiful, but expresses emotion so beautifully and soulfully.

The voice. There will NEVER be another . Rip Whitney

@3:15 her voice is like a tidal wave from God himself.

Wish I could have seen her just once live .. what a amazing beautiful human!

Русская эстрада! Учитесь!!!! Поёт вживую, без фонограммы!! Обожаю её!!! Крутизна!!! Мурашки по спине от такого голоса!!!

She was sensational. Just beautiful in every way. 😢

This is not singing, this is magic. God bless u Whitney Houston, thank you for beeing here and chare this with us. God take care of her now.❤

The thing is, when Whitney sing this you look at it as no big deal, easy peasy. but when you see other singers trying to sing it and they cant sing it even close to how she does, then it hits you, Whitney is on another level.
