It's surreal how this very church that she's singing in..is the one her funeral was held in. This was her family's church. Her casket was on display literally steps from where she's singing in this video. Rest in everlasting peace, beautiful Whitney.

Little did those people know sitting in church, a star was being born. We really miss you Whitney.

She was just singing like it was nothing. What a blessed voice!

Wow! Cannot believe that voice was coming from a child.

Its crazy because alot people can sing.. But Whitney had IT. Theres just something in her voice that I dont think we'll ever hear in this lifetime again. She had a rare gift.

Even at a young age you can hear the power in her voice 😊 magnificent talent

Our gifts are for and must remain for the glory of God!!

I never knew Whitney had THAT unforgettable voice even when she was just a child! It's amazing, bordering on the freaky!

just by the way she extends her neck out to sing, you know she's sanging... tears

I remember cissy talking about hearing whitney singing in the basement at age 7, I would give anything to hear those recordings, she probably sounded the exact same. Gift gift gift that only god can give

"Have A Little Talk With Jesus" is the name of this song!

Whitney made her church solo debut at age 11. Whitney's father once said (about that first solo) that while he knew that Cissy had been working with Whitney, he was amazed because even though she was a child, she sang with an adult voice. I've heard/read similar things about Judy Garland and other natural born singers/talents.

What a gift, even at that young tender age....God had given her the tools and the blueprint from the start :) Cissy worked passionately and tirelessly to help her little girl hone and develop her God given gift. I am amazed (though I shouldn't be) just how powerful her range was at that age. She sang Have A Little Talk With Jesus here as a child and then sang Jesus Loves Me with Kelly Price before her transition into eternity. She always knew who was at the helm of her life. Through all the good, bad and in between times, she knew Jesus loved her. You can hear through her singing this as a child and all through her life, when she sang of Him, what excitement she received. I miss you, Whitney. When you passed away, it hurt me so deeply, as if I lost a family member or friend of my own. You have been there since I was a child. Your music inspired me and made me happy and carried me through some sad and rough times. Because of you and my own gospel choir training, I learned to develop my own power and range through singing. You are my hero and inspiration. I thank God that you were around during my childhood years to see and hear and take in. God bless your family. God bless your mama Ms. Cissy. God continues to wrap His arms around you and Krissy. You are safe from this crazy, evil world now. Glad you found your Quiet Place :) R.I.P.

Just power and perfection you notice her voice even the choir can't compete to her just immortal singer just effortless. I love her.

She is gifted but she also worked very hard when she was little. She was surrounded by the best to be a singer. By the time she debuted, singing was probably very easy.

That tone was already singular this early in her singing journey. She was anointed.

You can definitely hear her emulating her mother's voice here.

When I was in high school, Whitney was a teenage model. We are about the same age. I used to subscribe to Seventeen magazine when I was in high school and Whitney was on the cover and in that magazine. I didn’t know her name at the time--nobody did, but I in Seventeen magazine!

Somebody finally uploaded the extended clip. Wow. Sing, Nippy!

I Will Always Love Whitney Elizabeth Houston who was born with the most beautiful gift that she shared/is sharing with millions of people. 12 years old and already singing with such an 'out of this world' voice is a once in human existence miracle/gift that must be cherished for our future generations to hear and see what true greatness and vocal divinity sounds like!

Sometimes I have to wander if she had just stayed with the church and became a famous gospel singer like Mahalia Jackson, Shirley Ceaser, Dorothy Norwood and so many other famous Women of God she would probably still be alive, Whitney's life style shortened her life 😢😥💔🙏🙌🌹

so talented at a young age! she is perfect.

Whitney Houston ❤

Best all time

My favorite artist of all time!!!!

Anointed,Favor,Classy,one in a million❤The VOICE and u can say what u want about Ms.Sissy but she knew that a star was born and was and is a "Great Mother"periodt!! Wheew never be another Whitney Houston Never!!❤❤

o my god ! this is absolutely my favourite whitney's song ! don't forget she started to sing in church ! a little girl with an incredible vocal gift, i won't never forget you my idol. R.I.P

Im just saying Whitney had an accident has a child with a hangar...lets just say God had plans with her...God only let us hear that perfect voice for a short time saying this how its going to be when all go home one day...God needed whitney to rest so that Voice will return... Amen

1:26, the girl in the choir, Stan could not be bothered with a more diligent clap lol

2019

@2:10 That vibrato is the exact reason why she was a cut above the rest. The Voice.

Wow! Where did you get this extended clip of "Have a Little Talk with Jesus"? Nice job! Do you, by chance, have any additional New Hope footage?

Hey. If God gives you a gift. Use it for his glory. this world glory is nothing, just a big shiny empty bubble
