No auto tune, just pure vocals! What a time to be alive!!! 🫶🏾

Whitney loved Brandy A LOT. You can tell they had a niece and auntie type of relationship. It was very sweet. RIP Whitney! ❤️

Whitney just RUNNING everywhere effortlessly omg that woman is a legend

Whitney was such an improv singer and Brandy definitely studied her.

Wow, Whitney really loved Brandy. Her support of her is a story in itself

Whitney sang so effortlessly. ❤ This is legendary footage..

This is so rare! This deserves to be in a museum!

So hard to believe Whitney has been gone for 12 years. RIP to the Queen of Pop. We will always love you ❤️

Look at how Nippy’s voice just glow every time she sings with CeCe !!! 😍🥹🥹 friendship goals!

Look at Brandy react to Whitney’s churchy run! She loves that woman!! 😂 15:11

I miss Whitney! The industry today needs her. Back when she was alive the girls had to learn to sing fr with her on the scene

Whitney sounds so great here compared to the actual performance at the Grammys!’ I love it I wish everyone saw this ❤

People sometimes forget that these artist are real people who get nervous too and there’s always a different energy when a performance is live and there’s a crowd of people in the audience with excitement and expectations. It hits different.

I love this whole video. Brandys little outfit was so cute too! It screams 90’s! Chile she was singing too!!!

Brandy was nothing to play with back then. She was holding her own singing along grown women. SING BRANDY!!

Whitney was a straight up church girl!! It. Was all in her bones. R I.P.🌹

Whitney & Brandy's relationship was so beautiful!

There’s something about cece that brings out the best in Whitney … each time they sing together Whitney seems so relax n happy … the love between them is just …..❤

Whitney loved EVERYBODY.🥹🥹🥹

Whitney was only 33-34 here. Thank you so much whoever posted this.

Brandy sounded great as usually. That’s one of my favorite songs of hers! ❤❤❤

When Mary steps out on stage baby. Whole mood just changed

i prefer this rehearsal to the live !!

Whitney loved to take it to church… that was her heart

You can tell how much Whitney loved Cece...

Brandy & Whitney 🥺💜

SANG BRANDY!!!

CeCe's voice is so powerful! Goodness!

God bless whoever posted this! Whitney sounded better here than the main event.

Listening to these songs I immediately connected them...this is the soundtrack of Waiting to Exhale! 😊❤ I love these songs and the movie! RIH Ms Whitney! 😢🙏🏾 I loved Brandy and her connection! ❤

Mary killed it

Whitney sustained the Eb5 compared to the live. This was actually better

This is the Whitney I knew, luv, and want to always remember for her GOD given talent at its prime! We lost a good 1, but like all the 'GREATS' that have come & gone👼...Life here on earth is only temporary, and it's up2 US to leave a powerful & positive impact 🖤

Brandy’s tone has always been so good. And Mary was pure soul here.

Love seeing Whitney and Brandy together!

CeCe Winans is nothing to play with. She seems to let go and free flow in rehearsals but is more disciplined during live television production.

@13:03 I love seeing how Whitney & CeCe playfully sing 🎤 with each other and interact with each other on stage. #MusicRoyalty #Sisterhood #RIHWhitney

Thank God for people with video footage ❤ I feel like many of Whitney's greatest performances are in the rehearsals alone lol

This is one of the most beautiful and special videos I’ve seen on the internet ❤sisterhood was so palpable

The way she started running at the end. I love Whitney. Whewwwwww.

This is too cool to see. It says A LOT about how legendary Whitney Houston was, as an artist and performer, that it's her own band backing all of these artists at the Grammy's. I recognize Ricky Minor on bass (Whitney's music director), Bette Sussman (Whitney's piano player from the very beginning, was playing in clubs with Cissy), Wayne Linsey on keyboards, Kirk Whalum on sax, and I think I recognize Pattie Howard and Olivia McClurkin on backing vocals. All legends and geniuses in their own right. And that was Whitney's personal band through the 90s, making her live shows absolute magic. Says a lot.

* I love how Whitney was. They had already stated earlier in the day of this performance that Whitney was a little under the weather for those that don't know, which explains the change you hear in her voice. I thought the live version was still beautiful too.

We all know Whitney is the voice, but Lawd Brandy can sing. Love the chemistry!

Whitney, I hope you’re in peace. ❤

Thank you for sharing always much love for my Whitney and Brandy CeCe my Whitney Houston twin in the gospel industry . Love them both

I love the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack & I love Brandy & Whitney so much ❤❤

Stop playing Mary J Blige! Sing Mary

This is a gem right here! ❤

Alright nii Mary J. Blige!!

Oh god, Whitney was feeling it! Glad this was captured on film!!!!

I want a hug from CeeCee.❤ they look like they sunday morning grandma hugs.

Whitney was a gift from God. I am so grateful I was around for the new releases of music and movies. So many talentee artists, but no one like Whitney, and love for all the women in this clip. Love for MJB running through my vains as is Cece, but Whitney was a gift from a higher power, a blessing with all her faults she showed love RIP Whitney. GOD BLESS

I always love the fact that her rehearsals were waaaay more better than the final performance. By the way, thanks so much for sharing this. It's so precious. Please share more of her rare contents. ❤

Whitney is the GOAT 😎

This is GOLD. I live for this rehersals ❤

This is considered rare video the most powerful women of their generation and time on stage ❤❤❤❤

I thought I’ve already seen the best performance of Exhale! But this one tops them all!

Wow this is amazing. I remember watching the Grammys live in 1997. I remember during the night Whitney wasn't in the best voice. But she killed vocals during this rehearsal.

CeCe said to Whitney on the “count on” round when Whitney does that little lilt, “that’s you…” 😂❤

Thanks for posting this! Despite the challenges, Nippy did her thang! People must understand voices and what could happen between rehearsal and the live event 🤷🏾‍♂️.

RIP Whitney Houston!

that was sooooo cute. I sat and watched this whole thing, so magical and so professional. I still holler at the hard prison stances Mary used to have back in the day on stage. She softened towards the end of this rehearsal. LOL. Man oh man, Whitney was truly special to me. And Cece - whew my lord today, she's anointed through and through. Watching this brings back memories.

To caught Brandy without braids during this time was unheard of😂

Every time Whitney opened her mouth to sing, it was like a performance. Hit record… Lol

Whitney scared me when she hit that first high note l wasn't prepared for that one 😅😅😅😅

Whitney sounds better here than in the actual performance.

It's like Whitney was welcoming them into her home.

Great, great video. Miss Nippy so much 😢. ❤

This is beautiful 🦋😘. RIP Whitney🦋🦋

4:11 The biggest powerhouse giving the credits to her soul sister. So beautiful ❤

I wonder when this rehearsal was compared to the actual show. Whitney sounded very good here.

👑 MARY JANE BLIGE!!!! 👑 came in and literally CHANGED the whole atmosphere after Brandy -Floored her ! Big Soul Queen!

Thank you so very much for sharing

OMG! Thank you for the post! ❤

Whitney!!! The church hop at the end 😂😂😂

I discovered this yesterday and i like it. Whitney can make reheatsal seem interesting. It always fun and interesting to watch unreleased rehearsal footage. Thanks for uploading this and sharing it with people.

❤❤❤❤❤ need more of happy whitney videos always

4:50 time stamp. Look how Whitney is producing the segment letting them know which singers should come in & when

THANK YOU❤

Brandy should have been the one to play Whitney Houston and her life story, they were the same size, had some of the same tones, but would have been perfect, and she would have been rehearsed enough of being in Whitney's real life, to know how to betrayed the story, while giving authenticity and respect at the same time.

What a blessing to see this

Amazing footage. Thanks.

this is so cool!!!! love all these women so much. whitney you are missed.

Whitney was sick during the actual Grammy show which is why this rehearsal sounds a lil better.

Thanks ❤!

Whitney, so gorgeous ❤the Voice. It hurts my heart ♥️

thanku, please share more Whitney

Thanks for posting this.gem.

CeCe’s voice is the only voice that is comparable to Whitney’s, which is why I believe they meshed so well singing together.

Wow this is incredible! Also, Whitney's voice was much stronger during rehearsal compared to the actual performance. Maybe she came down with something a day or two later which impacted her voice. Still an amazing performance and the rehearsal is legendary

This gave me chills❤

Whitney Elizabeth Houston "Queen of the Mic"

She was a true performer because it was in her blood.

Hahaha, Whitney is playing here. But it's good to see that she had a great time at the rehearsal.

Whitney sounds great and vibrant here. Her voice has a clarity and assurance that were somewhat missing in the actual performance. Loved when she sang free of expectations - she just sang and it was always beautiful

Ci ci said I gotta go

BRANDY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

1:05 I love… not so easy either.

Whitney and CeCe were good friends

God I PRAY one day I can be in the mist / mix on stage hugging different ones just like this & us all taking turns singing 😩
