I agree

I concur

That’s the LEGENDARY Leontyne Price’s lil cousin. I agree.

@@dlsmith300201 I thought they were cousins by marriage though

@jwsgirl potz I think you’re right about that. My bad.

It makes me sad that she couldn't be saved from her addiction. Whitney was great battling a disease of addiction, imagine what she could have done if she could have been rehabilitated.

@@chericewashington7343 She was clean at her time of death, it was an industry murder

FR!!

Really? She did not know what she was capable ? That is not made as a joke or a game. She knew exactly her capacities but it was not scripted . And opera could not save her life. Many opera singers are junkies

@@Zeitics I laughed at "she didn't know what she was capable of"...if she didn't know she could hit those notes she surely wouldn't have gotten on an opera stage just to embarrass herself...she knew she was an unstoppable force...

Said the same thing They first thought she was just joking lol Only miss Houston 🤣🤣

Can you read the collective mind of audiences or, are you creating your own narrative. It was Pavarotti and friends: his friends were all accomplished singers. They KNOW 'bel canto'. Elton's tenor is like SILK

😘

@@Grimloxz the comedian?

Sum it best buddy

I think she was shook herself

She even surprised herself I think lmaoo 💀💀💀

She gagged herself too🤣

Truth.

@@dreaming5877 When you hold your chest in shock. Some say shook

Sting's wife, Trudy, in that gold Versace.

@@yonkcitygreat spot 👍

I didn’t even notice that! 😂❤

Thats Sting's wife!!!

Omg I have watched this countless times and I never noticed that. Good on you for peeping that!

It seems Italians really love her in general

I’ve seen this clip for years and this is my first time seeing that 😂😂😂

You could tell. Pavarotti was amazed by Whitney's operatic ability.

His eyebrows hit the back of his head they went up so high. Great moment.

Out of all the times I've seen this like mentioned above, i NEVER noticed that!! Made me love it even more!!

Dutchmusicfan1992 truly the greats

I got chills

We won’t ever see anything like it again

Talents? Megastars!!!

They killed it too

That's because she was a professional model when she was young. :)

Also she was a professional goddess when she was young. :)

She was beautiful all her life

frank nitti she looked like a model her entire life

She was the first black model to cover the Seventeen magazine

Dont for get Dionne Warwick!

no, that would be Aretha Franklin.

@@tooties545 nope even Aretha was threatened by Whitney

Dont forget Ella Fitzgerald !!

@@tooties545 belting wise they're almost on par except HEADVOICE Whitney's HEADVOICE was super quality and beyond compare

The audience was shocked too, hahaha 😆

​@@jonathonroqueikr😂 She's blessed

E longe do microfone

​@@JoseCarlos-sj8zyikr I wonder who ever had as rich and full voice as Whitney THE VOICE Houston in non classical music B'se she'd singlehandedly mop the floor with legendary Opera icon

Wagner pieces missed out lol

Absolutely

Never heard her described so well. 1000% agree.

Brava!

Yes God!

Derek Jones no argument here !

Case closed.

GZoli1974 She was a very fun a crazy woman of good

GZoli1974 no surprise there

As always...!

GZoli1974 definitely

The very definition of it. Haha

Thats Right!😊💕👍

No shit, WOW she really was the real thing, phenomenal

@@Jbro2607 I totally agree.

Her operatic voice was gorgeous and I wish we would have heard more of that... even some performances and recordings 🎤🎶🥰

Say bless my spirit!!!🙌🏾

That’s true she was even surprised lol

With freedie mercury

Gianni Morandi Josh Groban and Sammy Davis Jr. Have the best voices

@@salvatoreperez5113 No, they don't Whitney is the greatest voice of all. If you don't agree, why are you here? Envious much/

@@circuslife888 Whitney is Amazing but the actual best voice is Mike Patton because he can sing multiple languages and multiple ranges longer higher and lower than anyone in history except Luciano Pavarotti had the best Range because he was Fat Opera Singer

@@circuslife888 To teach the Millennials and snow flakes the Truth. Whitney was Amazing

So it was Sting's wife. I've been asking myself, Who's that girl?

@@nemospence2724 looks like her to me Trudy right ?

yesssss😂😂

BELLISIMA!

YES but Who is the chick in the gold dress....Ivanka?

@@velvetrose7729 I think it's Trudie Styler. She and Sting were the hosts of the evening.

@@melissasavage2642 I thought it was Olivia Newton John

Whitney is natural humorous. She was definitely excited that she KILLED it.

@@tenishawilliams958 Whitney can do anything and knew her abilities were endless. Endless range and power. A vocal genius!

She was an entertainer at heart Love those jumps more Rip my queen

CassieJazz96 🤣🤣🤣

Lol

Hannah Obsiye :)))))

Leo Torres She was a real sweetheart

Powerhouse 💃💃💕

Female vocalists are better then male vocalists…. She was always better anyways….

Don’t make me cry.

I'm sorry, but I can't go that far with Luciano on the stage with her. But yes, Whitney was absolutely astonishingly good. What a treat this clip is, I can't even imagine what it was like for those in attendance!

@@tonyhughes110 She overshadowed him too

she didn't overshadow pavarotti, no one can surpass his voice. most perfect male voice of all time for many reasons.

Two of my favourites. Aretha knew Pavarotti as well

Gabriel, great comments, very good description. She was truly amazing!

Omgggg!! Perfectly said!! Bravoooo!!

Wow! That was so very well written.

I've heard opera singers admit they didn't have as powerful of a voice as Whitney's.

I disagree. Whitney was a Leo and very much aware of her capabilities as a singer. She was SURE of it. As for later in her career (post 1997) of course she may have felt insecure about her voice, due to the self-inflicted damage she had done to it.

😓 Kevin Costner talked about it in the speech of her funeral. She used to say "Am I good enough?". So, yes... I agree w you!

@@TheMastersuperblaste I’m not talking about in reference to her talent , I love leos so I know if they aren’t good at something they aren’t going to participate.

@@TheMastersuperblaste tho I agree also with leos they have a hidden insecurities (as we all do) for example i remember her stating in an interview as a child when singing people would be judging like "is she as good as dionne" or "can she sing like her mother". Then outside of that she werent black enough, then was too ghetto. Kevin Costner ref was firstly to her being good enough to do acting. Even when she started out singing her mother had to fake being ill so whitney would sing lead and she that she had it. She was comfortable then doing backing vocals. So tho she had a great gift alot of the time we aren't aware how great we are until others say or notice it. We all know to an extent what are gifts are especially when honed in church n by her mothers like whitneys. But self doubt is always ther even if masked.

@@TheMastersuperblaste As a fellow leo that confidence does sometimes come from a place of deep self insecurity. But specifically whitney houston was always extremely self conscious. I remember on her documentary one dude who knew her when she was very young and just on the scene noticed how anxious she seemed about tiny details down to the correct fork to use. Growing up with cissy houston as her mother and in the church there is alot of constant pressure to perform and appear a certain way which can drill into you even after you come into your own.

Eva Cassidy, God rest her too!

Not match. Exceed….

Yes, she exceeded him. The first time she joined in, he dropped out and let her hit those high notes solo. The second time around she joined him and surpassed him, play it again and listen for it, her voice ascending effortlessly above his.

Audience was shocked. They went silent and you can faintly hear the "oohs". 😂

Well Pavarotti is an opera singer.

@@thewrestlingpalace9989 Yes, I'm well aware of that fact.

That's grossly unfair on Sting. That last note he hit was majestic.

@@jivebunny3765 Actually, I wasn't indirectly criticizing the other artists who have had very successful careers. It's just that there were two ALL-TIME great voices on the stage during the benefit appearance. In addition, one could advance a reasonable argument that Houston's instrument wasn't even at its peak in 1994. It didn't matter though because she was still untouchable.

@@scastagnoli1 I would say Whitney's voice was at its peak in the early 90s. I Will Always Love You was 1992. One Moment in Time, which I actually think was her defining moment, was 1988. She was only a few years in to her career at that point.

Absolutely! She had classical training in 80's. I think how she prepped her Voice too is by using her opera training in 80's and 90's too.

True Cute indeed Esp when she jumps🤣🤣🤣

She would have sold tens of millions more.

Exactly

@christian Williams I think Whitney was a soprano in her early years but become mezzo in 90's because of smoking and drugs. Smoke make your voice deeper. Fact.

@christian Williams Yes! i mean spinto soprano.

Whitney Houston was one of a very very few pop vocalist that had a head voice developed enough to take on opera.

shes a spinto soprano

nope,just a sop

@@vyeagra420 What's Whitney Houston's Voice Type? Whitney Houston is a very powerful mezzo-soprano that has a richness to her voice that will forever be distinct and memorable. Whitney had a really high range for belting/chest voice that always seemed to come effortlessly in a way that no other singer could really match.Oct 26, 2021

Excuse me sir, but no. Whitney was great but not to that level. She is one of my all time favorites, but to state she could be bigger than Pavarotti is not accurate at all.

Excuse me sir but yes. Whitney can do it all, ballads, opera, dance, gospel - pop…. Pavarotti is obviously unbelievable and I’m not doing him down, but he isn’t versatile at all. Whitney is. And smashes it.

@@JakesSake Sir, I see your point and I am not in any way trying to bring the Voice Miss Whitney Houston herself down or disrespect her and you either, but we are not sure if she could have ever sung full super incredibly difficult arias such as "Queen of the Night" or "Nessun Dorma" with all the intricate technicalities and periodicity they require from the vocalist even during her prime and in the Italian language. Although I am not a musician or singer myself I will always admire, respect, and look up to both of them in professional and personal terms, but if Maestro Luciano Pavarotti had his own limitations our beloved and dearly missed Whitney Houston did too. All in all, they are both now, together with Miss Aretha Franklin, part of World Heritage.
