Whitney Houston - A Quiet Place 1987 HQ

[palermoVmusic]

Her voice shows she is godly. Her life story shows she is human.

[collegeri]

It’s crazy to think that the general public doesn’t even know about this performance. It’s utterly breathtaking.

[terrymoore]

I don't care what kind of soprano Whitney supposedly was all I know is this she had the best singing voice I've ever heard

[anjelheaven]

She was like an unfair cheat code. Not only did she have a stupendous gift but she was also gorgeous!

[MrErnieFaison]

She was singing that song as though she were actually talking to the Lord.

[CMF]

I am almost certain this is what an angel sounds like.

[scheckdj]

Like Rolling Stone Magazine said "The Original Voice has always been imitated but never duplicated.  She taught a generation of singers how to sing"

[Eddy]

This is so unreal. Her resonance is out of this world.

[marcchesley]

When you see her mouth tremble when she sings you know she is in the zone, Whitney mastered her voice and that is the gift of an anointed singer, but God gave this child not only an anointed voice but he gave her one of the keenest ears, its like her voice is a fine tuned Steinway piano, or a stradavarius violin so rare precious but oh so sweet to the ears. Many think if they can do a run or inflection like Whitney they are up for the challenge these elements are just the tip of her talent if you have a trained ear for beautiful music Whitney is a master of all the techniques, 1) resonance, 2) Vibrato, 3) Colorature 4)inflections 5) scaling up and down 6) natural 7)falsetto or soft soprano for a woman 8) throat, diaphram and head singing 9) Crescendo and decrescendo and breath control 10) staccato and perfect diction. With all of these mastered in one voice how can you not be the "Voice" many people can't master half of these in one life time and she mastered all 10. This girl can hold a note and before letting this last air run out no how to close it out and inhale and start with the next note....Truely uncomparable, don't get me wrong Aretha can sang, but even Aretha couldn't hold a candlestick to Whitney sorry! She is the voice of all voices! That gift will not be passed out for a very long time...especially in that magnitude!

Cissy's reaction everytime the camera spots on her is priceless. She was really proud and certain that Whitney would embolden the greatness she instilled in her. The training she had under her tutelage as a singer is no joke; it made her foundation toward being a global star in her generation.

[justicemarley]

Whitney literally had everything that a singer was supposed to have in their voice. Technique, diction, resonance, vibrato, interpretation and most importantly EMOTION. You could feel it, more than a technical singer but heartfelt as well. All God❤️

I was always a die-hard Whitney fan, I have watched this video, and every other one that's been made about her, since my space on YouTube came out, or like on the movie, when they show certain performances, I can take people write to them, like the last Melody that she did in 94, when Reba McEntire and Will Smith introduced her, she says I love you and she sung I love you porgy, and I am telling you I'm not going, then I have nothing, like I know them all, one of my favorites is when she sang lover boy, and all the men I need together, she murdered it, and her mother really was so proud of her, she just always wanted her to do the right thing, as far as getting clean and that sort of thing, but I know the temptations once you've already tried them, because people will beg you down there to try something, and then once you're hooked, they will walk over you, when you're dead in withdrawal, nobody in their right mind is going to go through that, if they have the money to get well, I know what it's like to work with a drug habit, I show up to work over to all my work sober, and then I go home and don't come out of my room full of work, I know it all too well, but what I also know is that only God can judge me, and no matter what she was human, and her mother was always always proud of her, and damn it so was I.

[TheRemixstress]

My God....Her voice is smooth, velvety & sweet like honey, but hits you like getting hit by Thor's hammer...The power, control, vibrato, diction & vocal ease shows you why Whitney couldn't be touched by ANYONE...The best ever...Whitney *"The Vocal Tsunami"* Houston

[shhh]

Cissy looks so proud of Whitney, and rightfully so. Just amazing!

[cyrusjbeast]

The depth of her voice. The vibrato. The hums. She was one of the greatest to have ever touched a microphone

[musicremade]

One of Nippy's most technically accomplished performances. Every note is properly placed; every word properly enunciated. Her upper belts here remind you that even though other singers have similar, or even wider, ranges, their belts can never approximate the sheer silk and steel beauty of Whitney's. Add to these the sheer inspiration and fervor with which she sings the song and you've got yourself a performance that will withstand the test of time. Here is The Voice, folks, and nothing but.

[CMF]

The BEST soprano voice I have ever heard.

[sunsetbeach]

The certainty in her voice…. The clarity…. I wonder what it would’ve been like to be in a closed room with Whitney and just hear her raw vocals pierce the silence blast your eyebrows clean off your face.

[goodboy]

When Whitney sang gospel, her anointing was on full display. God yielded His spirit through her, His glory resonated and He truly resided in her heart. This single performance was not about show boating or bragging, this was her singing to an audience of one. She was truly anointed to sing the gospel. She was trying to get back to that place. This is where she felt the most comfortable, and her peace was found in songs such as these.

[jonsmith]

The look on Cissy Houston's face says it all.
