I really wish Arista records would compile all her live performances including rehearsals and remaster them. Nobody sings like this anymore. TRUE talent. Her voice was a gift from God.

one hand in pocket slaying

She is superhuman! Hands in her pockets, chilling and hitting notes 99% of singers can only dream of!

Dang, she just stands there and barely moves and it comes out so good. She had the best lungs and a crystal clear tone. She was better than each and every one of her counterparts. #anditsstillallgood

Its puzzling how clear and beautiful she sounds in these low quality videos, I can only imagine how she sounds live.

She playin wit the notes lol unscripted.....pure talent

She’s doing in rehearsal what 90% of singers today couldn’t do if they gave it their all.

Did she even need to rehearse!! She was the Vocal Blueprint for years and years to come!!

Funny thing is she’s not even “trying “ hard to sing.. She was just that amazing!!

Nobody currently living on this planet can convey feeling into a song like this! The greatest live singer that has yet to exist.

This lady is literally standing flat foot with her hand in pocket KILLIN this song during "rehearsal" !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥# TRUETALENT

they were right. her voice was a national treasure. my goodness. when i get to Heaven and meet my Maker...i want to hear this voice...THE VOICE...welcoming me.

This is called Effortless Singing.

The G.O.A.T.!

This is what you call a once in a lifetime talent. I don’t think that I will EVER see another singer with this talent, technique, skill, vocal prowess or gift in during my whole existence

Those background singers were in the presence of such greatness. Whitney at her prime.

Saying it’s effortless doesn’t only create a picture of a fake reality but takes away from her hard work. Singing is half technique, half emotion and passion. Both something that needs a lot of strength. I can promise you she worked hard, on learning and practicing techniques & for her muscles and body to support her vocals and she worked just as hard on her emotional strength. I simply adore her

Any Singer who watches this must feel the shade whitney is throwing by singing with one hand in her pocket and only putting a a little effort in and still outsinging them 😭 #RIPGOAT

3:19 makes me wanna just pass out!!! I mean have u ever heard of something so beautiful?? that part alone keeps me coming back to this clip at least once a week! Awesome singer!

Whitney Houston most famous voice of all time

Why does this exist? She didn't need to rehearse! She just opened her mouth, and it came out perfectly! I miss her so much!

How does such a voice reside in a human ? She just blows me away Chills

That big voice coming out of such a tiny body. I miss her so much. R.I.P. Nippy.💚

3:08 That part gives me goosebumps everytime. For me, it isn’t about the technique proficiency or the arsenal of notes used; it is how she creatively can alter a melody spontaneously like she did there. She always gave something new within the same song. That “but heeeeeee” in headvoice and then E5-C#5 “goooo-ooott” is so beautiful.

If she blew you away for rehearsal, imagine what she can do in the final performance... that's the caliber of this iconic, legendary lady. 💜💜💜💜

No backing track. No ear pieces. No auto tune filtered through her live vocals. PURE RAW TALENT!

Simply standing, while perfection pours effortlessly from her gifted lungs! You’re missed my dear

not even tryin! damn shame! miss you Whitney!

This is a rehearsel...??? Golgotha enough without it. This in itself could have been a stage performance. A God given talent....gone too soon....RIP dear Whitney. God gave you to the world then took you back from the cruelties of it.

Standing still with one hand in her pocket!

if i could "rehearse" like this...wow. it is live and she sings effortlessly. God bless the best female voice ever.

The hand in her pocket lets me know she could sing like this in the shower. RIP Whitney Houston

EXCELLENT performance!

Well, first of all she's stunningly gorgeous. Then she starts singing with one hand on the mic and the other hand in her pocket and melts my entire soul.

A vocal beast and a force of nature. That's what she is for me.... even in later years, no ONE can hold a candle for her. 💪💪💪💖💗💜

How the 'F' did such power, strength & energy come out of that tiny, little person ??

Best , Best , Best !!!!! It gives production!!

Such a pure, effortless, incredible voice. Miss her.

How is it earthly possible to sing AND look like that? Simultaneously

Best live vocals ever on this planet.

This whitney on saturday night with rollers and a face mask SLAYING

That part between 3:07-3:15 doesn't even make any sense! How she belted that note, mic to her legs and you could still hear parts of it, and then to come back with a crisp and clear head tone mere seconds later where most singers would've been hoarse from the belt? I can't even with Ms. Houston.

Its beautifully painful to watch this. We lost a gem.. we celebrate your life whitney.. what a legacy...

There's a few videos around of Whitney singing gospel music as a visitor to different churches. Those are worth watching.

Who touching Whitney on the vocals in 2019? No damn body. Just beautiful.

I LOVE WHE SHE THROWS HET LEG UP YES BABE

She's crystal, flawlessly, adorable, incomparable. She's truly an artist

Thee greatest female singer ever!

Chiiiiiiiile this is just a rehearsal🤯🤯🤯... Amazing!!!

her voice in its prime! no voice can compare to it! amazing

I love the way she's enjoying and playing the song. ❤

Wow, this is just a rehersal up, I'd be glad if any of today's artists could produce a performance like this EVER.

Standing casually, hand in pocket, singing to the heavens!!! Effortless 🙏🎶🎶🎶💖

She slated it in rehearsal !!! I miss her so much. Best singer ever.

This is just rehearsals and Whitney still slayed 😍 damn WHITNEY IS AND still IS thee VOICE

That is The Voice! And it was rehearsal. She had a name tag on her blazer because she was a guest to SNL! I love it. And I will always love Whitney!

Why 3 people have disliked this, I will never know. Pure. Talent.

When your rehearsal number outslays most other artists' entire discography. Whoo chile.

All these years and this version brought tears to my eyes. Phenomenal

Perfect pitch.. the standard for all the aspiring singers.. Incomparable and will never be matched.. Whitney is forever

Whitney voice was flawless and effortless.

This woman always leaves me speechless!! But that 3:18 through the end is suuuuuch a beautiful groove!!!!

she is so fuckin beautiful

Just BEAUTIFUL!! The tone and control was so crazy!! THE GREATEST!!❤️❤️

Her voice could be anything she wanted it to be. Loud as a lion and as delicate as a butterfly. She had a gift

if you didn't grow up in the eighties and nineties you will not understand what it means to sing like this

I listened to thousands of great singers. Some ranging from good to amazing but Whitney was the god of voice. I never would thought a voice like this type of voice existed

Lawd a mercy! I am getting my life this morning!! WHITNEY💫💫✨

Im dying at how casual she sings. Smiling, hand in pocket and just completely slaying!!! No one else comes close

Oh Whitney... Uncomparable.

Whitney, as long as there are people on Earth, you will not be forgotten.

The fact that you can not hear the note proves she applied resonance to her voice to create a big sound; Unlike singers like Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera, and many others, who use volume and little to no resonance to their voice. That is exactly why you can hear other singers who pull away from the microphone, and not hear singers who create a resonant sound. That is why Whitney always sung directly into the microphone. A resonant voice will always sound bigger than a unresonat voice.

Incomparable!!! Just AMAZINGGGG!!!

Wow...!!...the tone...!! Gift from God... R.I.P. Lady✨✨✨✨

I swear,to me just no one compares to Whitney.How she played her voice like an instrument. Amazing timing, and just mmmm that voice,who else can just stand, not dance and capture you like that?? She's mesmerising, beautiful, I love Whitney.

Why are the actual (not just the rehearsals) performances so hard to find? Not just on youtube, they're hard to find on the internet period.

I just love LOVE watching her and listening to her. She was just so very cool. This rehearsal of this song may actually be my favorite rendition of it> If I sang like her, I would never not be singing. It must have been a lot of fun owning that instrument.

So in love with her 🥰🥰

She's incredibly amazing at even rehearsal………

Effortlessly striking.

This song always makes me cry it’s so beautiful & soulful

Whitney Elizabeth… oh my gooodnessss. And brother Whalum on that saxophone…wow

Her ADLIBS 🙏🏽

AWWW MAN. SHE WAS/IS THE BEST! JUST A LIL LIGHT LIGHT SOUND CHECK AND SHE KILLED

What a gift she had

I was shook by the first damn note!!!! My God, there is no one like Whitney Houston.

Her voice was so beautiful pure silk

Ein wunderschönes Lied - war ein tolles Album ❤ Whitney was forever The Voice ❤ Man sieht wie sie easy die Proben hier singt - Hammer ❤ Sie war schon auf Erden ein Engel ❤

slaying that mic and then slinks away bopping to her own rhythm hehehe

Stunning, impressive, perfect rehearsal.

Even rehearsal is worth a million

Just a rehearsal. Amazing. I miss her so very much😥

3:12 - 3:14 : Look how the ensemble is linked. beautiful

My God from glory. She was absolutely amazing 👏🏾. Never heard a voice in my life like hers. Pure GOD given talent. Rest in Heavenly peace.

God gifted voice and talent

Brasil amou muito a Whitney Houston...

WHAT A VOICE!

And yet here it is March 30, 2022 and this viewer from the Midwest is STILL watching this video in amazement. What a God given talent. What ease, what confidence. I am so sorry she had to go.

love her!

I feel that Whitney is like the ultimate advertisment against drug abuse, unmatched talent and incredible beauty all brought down to smithereens, from everything to nothing, she quite literally was like a fallen angel. But the beauty and the talent will ALWAYS prevail.
