This week’s classic From The Vault comes courtesy of the legendary Whitney Houston. While the renown vocalist has delivered many a notable performance, one of the most potent has to be her live showing at the 21st Annual World Music Awards in 1994.
Singing three songs back-to-back (including Dreamgirls favourite ‘And I Am Telling You’, and ‘I Have Nothing’), Houston blew the roof off the building with her soaring performance.
A rousing showcase of a voice that can only be described as a gift from God.
SHE IS THE BEST……THE VOICE!!
damn she did that. Her voice is so powerful, and no other female singer can sing as good as whitney. Not even my Beyonce. Her stage presence is commanding
OMG im crying right now, such of beautiful voice Whitney. I Love you!!!
she sings so effortlessly. a shame these sings these days can’t sing let alone sing effortlessly nowadays
she has fallen so far..she WAS so amazing
As ever Whitney spellbound Houston, shows how it should be done. Her voice was and still is simply THE BEST
wow, i was just thinking of how people forget what a force she was and sign on and grape juice is reminding us…thanks grape juice for reading my thoughts lol
still is? not anymore
Whitney only problem today is her consistency. She still has much of her voice. I suggest some of you o view her footage towards the end of her tour, where her sickness was clearing up and her voice had gotten so much better. You so quick to judge her based on some subpar performances, but fail to realize she was sick dam near the entire tour.
She soldiered through it and got better towards the end. She still outsing your favs
No one could outsing Whitney Houston in her prime!
She is still an amazing performer now even tho her voice has changed somewhat.
She took the roof off here and at the 2 Manchester concerts in June that I went to
Ladies and Gentlemen, that’s is REAL talent… She stood in one spot for 8 minutes and belted out 3 powerful songs. Ask yourself this question, who can do that TODAY and sound soo rich and powerful without missing ONE note? Not even J-Hud can!!!! Whitney was in a league of her own during her prime… Yes Mariah is the most selling Female artist today, but whitneys not far behind. That’s great considering Whitney released 4 or 5 albums and 3 soundtracks… Mariahs released almost twice the amount of albums… Not trying to discredit Mariah bcuz she can sing, but whitney shut Mariah down time and time again (Oprah, Grammys)…. Whitney is Legend!!! Say what you want but you can never erase the contribution she’s given the industry! #ThatsAll
This is why she is and will forever be known as the Voice! Much of her power remains> I’ll even say her voice today is more powerful. It is indeed her consistency and breath control that she has to work on.
Stage presence you say! She had and still has it in SPADES!!
Let me start with saying that i need the m** of that today.
When you can sing like that, for that time solidly without breaking a sweat thats when you know you don’t need the dancing, lights and action.
This was a nice Walk down Memory Lane! God Bless Whitney Houston and her VOICE!
Simply the best!!!!!
THIS IS THE BEST PERFORMANCE i’ve EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE! Thanks a thousand times for sharing THIS! It’s COMPLETELY OUT OF THIS WORLD! No one NO ONE can do that Right now! I
That’s my Nippy. Boy that woman’s voice is the 8th wonder of the world. Whitney is The Ultimate Diva and don’t you forget it
This is unbelievable. She sang 3 incredibly HARD songs to sing and she did it with ease, like it was nothing! This woman has vocal brilliance! She got 2 standing ovations for that whole performance! How amazing is that! Gosh Whitney Houston is the best!
And this ladies and gentlemen is why she is called “THE VOICE”
THIS IS THE BEST VOCAL PERFORMANCE I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!! I HAVE WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES AND I AM ALWAYS AMAZED !!! DURING WHITNEY HOUSTON PRIME, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER VOCALIST!! SO I MUST SAY WHITNEY IS THE BEST VOCALIST OF ALLLLLLLLLLLL TIME !!
LEGENDARY
Truest Commander
She is the best….and the only VOICE that I Love! She sing like an angel and this is her greatest performance of all time! She is amazing!!! I will remember this magic moment for all the days of my life!! She is tha only TRUE DIVA that we have in this world. God bless you Whitney Houston.
TOO BAD SHE DOESNT SING LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!! SHE *WAS* THAT GOOD – BACK 20YRS AGO. SAD… ALL THAT SMOKING, CRACK, BOBBY, AND BAD SELF-INFLICTED BEHAVIORS OVER THE YEARS RUINED HER VOCALS. A SHADOW OF HER FORMER SELF. JUST ASK A LOT OF ASIANS, EUROPEANS, AND AUSTRALIANS IF THEY GOT THEIR MONEY’S WORTH DURING HER NBL TOUR. IT WAS A FIASCO, NO DENYING IT!!!
I HEAR SHE’S PREPARING FOR A US TOUR. OOPS, WATCH OUT FOR THE KNIVES AND SWORDS COMING OUT FOR THOSE PERFORMANCES. I HOPE TO GOD SHE HAS RECTIFIED MOST OF THE S*** THAT RUINED THE VOICE. TOO BAD SHE *STILL* EFFING SMOKES!!!! UGH…
10 min of pure power. on the real no other vocalist can do this, then or now.
Whitney is amazing! There will never be another like her.
YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS THAT WAS AWESOME… WHITNEY *THE VOICE* HOUSTON.

Whitney is not the voice any longer.
All people can do now is reminisce about how amazing she used to be.
The funny thing is that Whitney didn’t even care about her voice, and chose drugs over her God given talent. She still doesn’t care. Clive Davis forced her to come back, and she didn’t even want to do that.
Can ya imagine the stars or so called singers at the time sitting in the audience going……..WTF! I am a hack imposter singer compared to this glorious voice i am hearing, i better stick to my day job. lol
My Nippy, The Voice. No one else. Your favorite couldn’t do it. They just couldn’t. Ooops!
Now thats talent!!!
And in case you all think that his was a fluke, she did something similar at the Billboard award. This is not whitney’s best vocal. It’s up there but she has tons of best live performances.

Whitney, the Voice and no, she’s not going anywhere. Love me some Nippy!
2 standing ovations in one performance all ya favs couldn’t
This is why no one should try to touch her songs, especially her Bodyguard songs, they ALL pale in comparisons and this is LIVE, no lipping and no backing tracks

This is why S****** is overrated as hell. Everything had to be LOUD AND IN YOUR DAMN FACE. She could NEVER pull of a subtle performance. And now look at her. Cant sing worth 2 cases of crack.
She WAS a good singer but she has ZERO credibility as an artist.
@SHUT UP LAMBS
At least her those alligators would be healthy and not die from all that damn white powder clogged all up in S******’s lungs.
So typical of a S****** stan to bring up Mariahs name and for what? To prove that S****** USED to whail louder?
Mariah Carey + Photoshop album cover = Hilarious Failed !
🙂 🙂 🙂
Mariah fans need to sit down, sit all the way down before she is dragged. This is a whitney thread and you all staring some mess.
Back to regular broadcsting. Whitney had the audience eating out of her hands. I remember her performance pissed of Jennifer holliday so much she went on the radio the next day fussing about whitney have so much of her own songs why did she have to sing her song.
rotflmbo, Whitney was on fire during this bodyguard reign.
@I look to crack
Like Mariah isn’t a damn alcoholic. Last time I checked, that is also an addictive substance and does worse harm to the body. Let’s not even go into her going crazy being sent to the nuthouse and her spreading her damn legs for beats and features.
How many dudes done bust a n** in her probably while she was drunk of that lean too!
Listen: Mariah’s new Christmas single ‘Oh Fatso!’
Imagine Mariah singing ‘Touch My Body’ in 5 months from now
🙁
Sooooo Amazing she has the most amazing voice in the world i love her so much and i hope we see her sing like this again someday x
@ CAMERON
Funny this is that there is NO PROOF of what you just said about Mariah except for ONE drunk acceptance speech in which people like Helen Mirren, George Clooney, Jason Bateman, Sean Penn, Debbie Allen, Tina Fey, etc. have all thought was charming.
LOL FAILED.
Such an amazing talent. She may not reach those notes like she used to but what doesn’t change is that SOUL, that PASSION, that CONVICTION, that POWER in her voice. That has never changed. Her range might have diminished, but her power hasn’t. Her voice might have suffered wear and tear over the years, but the soul & passion have only got better with age, experience and wisdom. And above all she was, is and will always be a TRUE LIVE VOCALIST. Just check out those youtube videos of her slaying I Look To You, I Didn’t Know My Own Strength, etc.
And all Mariah’s lambs. STAY OUT OF THIS THREAD. Mariah even at her prime could not outsing Whitney Houston. And this video is proof of that.
WEEDney stans! Billboard just declared S****** as the most successful female artist of the decade and listed ALL her #1 singles since the late 90’s:
I Learned from the Best – #27
Could I Have This Kiss Forever (w/ Enrique Iglesias) – #52
If I Told You That (w/ George Michael) – FAILED TO CHART
Same Script, Different Cast – #70
Fine – FAILED TO CHART
Whatchulookinat – #96
One of Those Days – #72
On My Own – #84
Love that Man – FAILED TO CHART
One Wish (for Christmas) – FAILED TO CHART
I Look to You – #70
Million Dollar Bill – #100
Its video’s like this that make me wish Whitney would’ve never started using drugs…PREcrack whitney in my opinion will always be a voice to contend with. But, POSTcrack Whitney sounds like a new upcoming artist that needs vocal training like Ciara! I miss PREcrack Whitney!
Wow, haven’t watched that performance for a long time!!!!! What a voice!!!!!
Whitney isn’t called The Voice for nothing. Show me one performance of any singer who matches that power, soul and range of Whitney. You ‘ll never find one.
Mariah Carey sings at Hollywood shopping mall (Aug ’08)
Now thats what I call a …diva! 🙂
“Dear Delusional & Tone Deaf Lambs,
I hope this letter finds you. I know you have been busy lately delaying the release of your album twice after the response to the first single Obsessed has been brutal. If that wasn’t bad enough, you have been using public relations tactics in trying to tell people that Obsessed never really was a single and you are delaying your poorly reviewed Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel because you don’t want to give the Grammys a chance to snub you. My dear: this is desperate!
I could understand your desperation. Anybody who titles themselves “the best selling female artist in history” and can’t fill a 2,500 seat arena in Las Vegas must feel defeated. But don’t worry: Perhaps these people just saw your insulting performance of I’ll Be There at Michael Jackson’s funeral, are staying away and just need to be reminded of the gifts you used to have.
You are one of the most talented singers that has ever lived. I enjoyed your music up until Butterfly came out in 1998. You then hired rent-a-rappers, deep discounted your failing singles so they could top the charts, attempted to “act” in the worst movie the world has ever seen, made multiple trips to the loony bin, got a boob job that made you look heavy, married someone you only dated for a couple months (just as the last album started tanking), and worst of all, lost the voice you were gifted with.
Mariah, your excuse that you were too sad to sing properly at Michael Jackson’s memorial just doesn’t fit it. All the other performers sounded sad, but at least performed on-key. I would give you credit for other performances, but most of them are lip-synced.
Mariah, you need to take a look at another gifted pop star looking for a comeback: Whitney Houston. Unlike you, Whitney Houston isn’t trying to appeal to twelve-year olds by wearing skin tight clothes and singing songs that sound like they were written in elementary school. Her new single I Look to You may not have conquered the charts, but at least Whitney is remaining true to herself. She also has been retraining her voice: This is something you need to do in order to get back to Whitney’s level.
Here is an outline of things you need to do in order to get your career back on track:
1. Divorce Nick Cannon. Everybody knows the marriage was a publicity stunt that didn’t quite work. Nick will be fine; he can find a lot of prettier and younger women out there.
2. Admit you screwed up with Obsessed. Using your public relations team to say it wasn’t really a single only makes you look desperate.
3. Don’t release your cover of Foreigner’s I Want to Know What Love Is. No matter how good the remake is, a classic like this shouldn’t be messed with.
4. Don’t play 2,500 seat theaters that you are unable to fill. Coffee houses, bars and high school gymnasiums may suit you better.
5. Retrain your voice! It’s there and you just have to find it.
If you read this Ms. Carey Cannon, I hope it isn’t taken too personally. You are a talented woman and it has been sad seeing that talent go to waste.”
Your sincerely,
Ex fan…
@mcworld
I know it’s you and you need to sit down. I Look To You was certified double platinum & Mariah’s memoirs of the fat angel was certified….gold. Dismal sales. Her only ‘achievement’ was a Top 10 single Obsessed which charted only because of a download campaign thanks to her loyal lambs and a very public feud with Eminem. Mariah – attention seeking flopping lip synching w****.
Great job compiling those figures though. What person in his right mind would waste his time on this? You must be one of those trolls lurking on Whitney fan & CW who got BANNED!!!!!!!! I know it’s you MCWORLD
FAIL!!!!
WHITNEY! THE VOICE!
Mariah tried to steal that title from Whitney. FAIL!
And this video is proof of that.
CRACK!
CRACK IS WACK!
CRACKney’s voice is ZERO these days. Bye Bye CRACKney
Lol. Mariah wish she could ever have that voice…. The voice of GOD
Alright, fine…Whitney was a drug addict, whose addiction warped her talent. Noted. Now what’s Mariah’s excuse for her severe vocal decline? Because that chipmunk looking b**** can’t sing 1/10th as well as she could in 1992. Whitney’s vice was Cocaine and Bobby Brown. What was Mariah’s? I’m guessing Vodka, Prozac and Cheeseburgers.
And while Whitney’s voice may not be anywhere near as good as it was in this posted performance, one VERY IMPORTANT talent that she HAS managed to retain to this day is her stage presence and ability to rouse a crowd. Even in her worse vocal state, Whitney can still get a crowd hyped and keep their attention. When Mariah takes the stage, it looks like she’s competing on Star Search. She has NO stage presence — at all. She didn’t have stage charisma when her debut album was released and 20 years later, she still has none. She comes off awkward and goofy as hell.
Whitney at 60 years old will be like Tina Turner; regarded as a legend whose had a fascinating career of highs and lows, still playing to sell out crowds all over the world…maybe even a biopic in production about her adversity and triumphs.
Mariah at 60 is not going to have anything but a paper print out of her bogus #1 singles (that she cheated to the top of the charts with a 49¢ price tag and downloading contests) and a bottle of booze that she’ll use to try and forget where it all went wrong.
Whitney is real woman. Mariah is a cartoon character.
well lambs better not mention memoirs of an imperfect angel because we all know it’s an epic FLOP lmao
Whitney Houston – The Voice
Mariah Carey – The P**.
Fake, Fat and Flop.
This was greatest live performance of any live vocalist on this planet. Mariah and her delusional lambs just got her ass whooped by Whitney’s voice.
THE VOICE!!!!!
Don’t mess with Whitney. both at her prime and now – the #1 rule in the music industry YOU DONT MESS WITH WHITNEY THE VOICE HOUSTON
After only 6 weeks, this album “Diaries of An Imperfect Flake Angel” by Mariah Cowry is at #95 at Billboard.
Shipped only 1.2 million copies…worldwide so far because nobody wants to hear digital enhancing voice of hers anymore.
This is the mega flop tragedy of the decade and her 4th flopped albums in her career.
*R I P*
CRACK IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
Lmfao!
My girl Ms Kelly Rowland puts CRACKney to fuking shame now!

Who is Kelly Rowland…?
Whitney’s personal assistant or flopped commander ? 😉
@I Look to C rack
Lmbo, Whitney got you pressed! Who in their right mind has the time to research all of Whitney’s stats! You’re sick!
But anyway doe (Kat Stack’s voice) we all know who is The Voice here, the one that industry folks and other singers continue to look up to, the one who only has to enter the room for all eyes to be on her, why ? because she has that X factor and doesn’t w**** out her image for fame and publicity,
Love this performance, Luv u Nippy! Even now, Whitney looks fabulous especially for all she’s been through. All she has to do now is work on her stomach and she would be smoking hot for her age.
Look at her legs- gives Tina Turner a run for her money. Now, look at Mariah’s tree trunks….i rest my case….
anyway doe……
To Kelendria Rowland
y r u dissing Whitney? Kelly loves, loves, LOVES Whitney and has stated that many times
Mariah fans- Krissi stated on a recent chat that both she and whitney loves Mariah so stop hating
This performance is epic and will be studied by many an up and coming singer.
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A …… TREADMILL

Glitter (movie) — FLOP
Glitter (album) — FLOP
Greatest Hits — FLOP
The Remixes — FLOP
Charmbracelet — FLOP
Emancipation of Mimi — Hit
E=MC2 — FLOP
The Ballads — FLOP
Tennessee — FLOP
Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel — FLOP
Angels Advocate — Shelved because it would have FLOPPED
In the last 10 years, Mariah has had only ONE success. The Mimi album. The rest of her projects have been FLOPS. Whitney’s still at the label she started with, and still has that very large 100 million dollar deal. How much was Carey’s record deal at Island worth? LOL! Exactly. After Virgin dropped her ass, she could only command peanuts.
Mariah Carey is not fat…
..she is just enormously f**ed inside !
Mariah is a man…thats why she cant get pregnant ! 🙁
man im so tired of these whitney and mariah fans using every post about either of them to draw the line in the sand….its just childish, grow up already!
This is what I am talking about the VOICE. Man they don’t sing like this any more.
@Greg,
Lambs are bitter, spiteful and jealous…of the Voice!
I swear some of you guys sound like the most petty little f**** arguing over Mariah and Whitney. They are the best vocalists we have ever had! The way you guys try and downplay their success makes you guys look so fucken immature. Sure they might not be able to sing as well as they did in the past, but they can still outsing most if not ALL of the s***** ass artists today.
Whitney ‘The Voice’ Houston dnt play no games when it cmes to bringin dwn the house. She is and will ALWAYS be THE VOICE
CRACK IS WACK!
Your voice is shot to f** CRACKney! Give it up! Your voice is GONE.
Musiclover
you are right but it’s always the mariah fans that start ish! check to seee who started this mess and the funny thing about it is that whit and mariah like each other. It’s the fans.
warning to the mariah fans, mariah is 40 and radio doesn’t really play 40yr olds here so you all will see her sales diminish.
Whitney = teacher
Mariah = student
whitney = the voice
Mariah = echo
Mariahs voice is just as great as Whitney. Whitneys threatened a** fans are hating bringing up Mariah for no reason. Mariahs E=M2 is a flop for selling nearly 1.5 million, but Whintey’s I Look To You, is a success and it sold almost a million units. Lol the insanity that is u lunatics. Mariah is a helluva vocalist, which is why yall keep comparing her. Memoirs went gold. Glitter was a soundtrack. Some of those remixes and what not were hardly promoted, and weren’t released by Mariahs current label u losers. Mariah is beautiful and very talented. To the idiot writing Mariah letters get a hobby she’s got this. Your opinion is not needed. Obsessed was a smash hit on the Hot100 Charts yall mad as shyt lol. Mariah caters to all of her fans, which makes her all but that much more great. Lol at the failed attempts of these idiots. Mariah runs this. But this is about Whitney and she did a tremendous job. Why bring Mariah up biatchez.
Oh by the way way whether Mariahs singles were discounted or not and people still bought it. You can’t force someone to buy your music if they don’t want to. But her fans bought it, and she deserves it. Quit hating.
Effortless. No “showing off vocal techniques to prove she can sing,” like others.
Whitney just goes for it; sing the song, and moves on!
Who does that today! None!
That woman has the most beautiful voice….
AMAZING.
If i had a voice like hers and just lost it like that..i would be horrified!
LOL @ you S****** drug smoking addicts saying Mariah is a flop? Then what is S******? Mrs. Bobby Brown hadnt had a hit in TWENTY YEARS. LOL!
SHITneys OWN FANS ON HER FAILED CONCERT:
“This was the worst concert I have ever been to”
“Definitely not worth the $150.00”
“Sorry we have to leave early”
“She couldn’t entertain a dead rat to be honest”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wXUVHjzYDk
@theman
I know, these S****** fans are HILARIOUS. Why is it that in every Mariah post, its only MARIAH that is being discussed, yet in every S****** CRACKSTON post, names like Beyonce, Christina, Mariah, etc. etc. etc. ALWAYS have to be discredited to make the DRUG ADDICT seem better?
PATHETIC.
@ JOY, yet when Mariah turned forty last year, Obsessed made Mariah the female artist with the most platinum singles in the US, and I Want to Know what Love is became the longest running #1 song in Brazil.
Can’t name ONE top ten, hell top 20 hit S****** had in the last 15 years.
Mariah: IFPI declared most successful female artist of all time.
WEEDney: Biggest trainwreck of the decade.
Mariah: Voted voice of the MTV generation.
S******: Voted voice of the negative effects of drug use.
@ADC
Yet, with all those flops she managed to be #14 on Billboards most successful artists of the decade. And EVERY MUSIC organization/corporation/publication named We Belong Together as the SONG OF THE DECADE.
Where was S****** on this list and her multi diamond selling Just S******, One Wish for FLOPmas, I Look to COCAINE, S******: The Greatest Flops?
and AFTER ALL SAID AND DONE, MARIAH AND WHITNEY BOTH ARE VERY SUCESSFUL AND CAN BUY AND SELL EVERYONE ON THIS SITE, SILLY F*** ARGUING
Estarr
Are you a fortune teller? LOL what a FAIL.
The only reason why people paid attention to her laughable excuse of a comeback album was because Clive Davis kept hyping over it since 2004. And did Mariah need a sticker saying “The most anticipated album of the year” on ANY of her cds like S****** needed for I Look to Cocaine?
SO when S****** turns 60, she’ll be like Tina Turner, eh? PLEASE. She has ZERO credibility as a musician. Shes WAS a good singer. Thats all. Without Clive Davis, her career is non existent (ie. Just S******, One Wish for FLOPmas) – care to explain why she had to mentor the X factor contestants WITH CLIVE DAVIS? And her dated music isnt that great either. She’s been singing the same thing over and over. Same lyric, musicality and melody.
Was she a good singer? Yes. Was she the best? FAR FROM IT. There is NOTHING original her vocal interpretations. There isnt a single song that she sung that the world hadnt heard from Aretha, Dionne, Diana, Barbra, etc. before. I can also find you at least 10 people who have the same tone as S****** (Jennifer Hudson, Charice, 13 year old Taiwanese boy, etc.). NO ORIGINALITY OR CREDIBILITY.
The difference between Tina Turner and WEEDney is that Tina’s image is iconic alone. What is so distinct about CRACKney’s image that would be instantly recognizable as Tina’s lion hair, Cher’s straight black wig, any of Madonna’s costumes, Janet’s black army suit, or Mariah’s hand gestures? Hell, Britney Spears, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga are fast surpassing S******’s “iconic status”.
I won’t get into Mariah with this one unlike WEEDney fans, I dont have to use other peoples names as an act of desperation.
wow, name one vocalist who could do this as well as Whitney??????????????
this is the reason she will go down as the greatest voice of all time, regardless of what she sounds like today no one can take away how great she was, 10 minutes of straight blowing with 3 difficult songs
I Look to Crack
For all the stats that you quote for mariah, how many awards has she won, how many times has she been honored? not holding my breath
Nobody gives a shi* about most #1s when she’s not even a respected artist in the league of whitney. Whitney just has to walk out on stage and she gets ovations.
And to the lambs, check the thread, it was a mariah fan that first started the dissing. Nobody cares about Mariah least of all Whitney fans. We are secure in Whitney’s legendary status vocal decline and all.
Jackarse, I look to you sounds nothing like anything on Just Whitney or My love is your love
and i’m board of this back and forth. It’s not even a fair fight. Lambs just get out of this thread. Go try figure out if mariah is really pregnant or pushing this story for sales.
Back to the topic at hand. Whitney slayed this performance. Jennifer Hudson, Charice and Leona Lewis has never performed anything close to this and they are in their prime.
In fact there is a youtube comparison of Whitney singing ‘and i am telling you’ vs J hud’s and whitney who had had a baby and was older than Jennifer, still blew her out of the water so hater sit down!
A GIFT FROM GOD ???
HER DISGUSTING EXCUSE OF A VOICE CAN ONLY NOW BE DESCRIBED AS A CURSE FROM THE CRACK FAIRY.

*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*

@LEO
Okay, so S****** can walk out on stage at the grammys and get a standing ovation from teeny boppers like Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers to applaud and reward her alleged sobriety and you call that respect? Well, I call that PITY.
WHAT COMPETITIVE AWARD HAS S****** WON IN THE LAST 15 YEARS? Didn’t Clive Davis and Whitney bump up the release date of her over hyped comeback album to meet the grammy consideration? And how did that work out for her? Not even Clive Davis, the Harvey Weinstein of the music industry could get her a single nomination!
LOL…there goes the “Whitney is more respected than Mariah” theory you proposed.
I DARE you to walk outside and ask any 16 year old to sing a Mariah song. Then ask that same kid who Whitney Houston is.
…there goes the “Nobody cares about Mariah” theory of yours.
PS. YOU may wanna check back because the first mention of Mariah’s name came from what you call a “secure” Whitney Houston fan.

I cry every time I see this video of Whit signing “I Will Always Love You”.
No singer alive today will ever match this woman’s talent and God-given gift. Not now nor probably in 50 years, The 8th Wonder of The World, Ms. Houston.

you are freaking crazy if you think any of those performances are on the level of this whitney performance, Whitney’s tone, breath control and power is unmatched
This was at the American Music Awards, not World Music Awards.
You must be kidding. Mariah has won a ton of awards. Not respected ? When youre this young and people call u 1 of the greatest voices of alltime, icon and legend now, not to mention that even Whitney has praised her, as well as Oprah,Patti,Stevie,Aretha,Gladis, and ect.
Mariah Carey will always be a carbon copy version of Whitney Houston thanks to Tommy Mottola.

Mariah sCarey is just an impressive studio recording artist..not more than that !!! 🙁
How does Nick Cannon dig himself out from under MooMoo each morning? 😉
Oct 3, 2010: Review: Mariah Carey’s new single ‘Oh Santa’. Things aren’t looking that great for R&B diva Mariah Carey’s new song. (Read reviews here)

“Mariah Carey’s victory over Elvis in the US this week is not all it’s cracked up to be. One of her fansites ran a contest and offered prizes for those who downloaded “Touch My Body” from Itunes and internet sites.
Fans were instructed to take a screen print or proof of purchase and email them to the webmaster. They were then entered into the lottery and then they said, the more songs you downloaded, the better your chances to win. In addition, they were also instructed to loop videos and vote for them incessantly on MTV, VH1 and BET. They were also told to call radio even if they did not live in the city the station was in.
I think this is unjust as Elvis did not have that advantage back in his day and yet he accomplished so much. It’s also unjust for artists especially newcomers who do no have such fansites out there. It is especially troubling that these prizes were given to the fan site by Carey’s camp. She is soon to “beat the Beatles” and again they were a diffrent era where #1s were much harder to attain. Something must be done! This is most certailnly an unfair victory”

Hey Whitney fans, don’t listen to those comments with the obvious Mariah queen of octave etc etc names. They are obviously trolls and Mariah haters who want to stir up s*** and make people hate Mariah. I’m the HUGEST lamb you could imagine but I will never diss Whitney.
Oh and another thing, all the Mariah hater trolls reek of the same person. Don’t fall for it.
No one does it better than Queen Whitney..Pure Legend!!!

And Whitney only has two “flop” albums (ie Just Whitney and One Wish) but even her lowest selling album (One Wish) outsold Mariah’s latest album. What does that say?
And for all those who said Mariah sold more albums: WELL YOU KNOW WHAT THAT’S BECAUSE MARIAH PUT OUT DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF ALBUMS WHITNEY DID. Whitney had 7 studio albums plus a few soundtracks and Mariah puts out one or more album every year. Yet Whitney is the MOST awarded female singer. And all of Whitney’s most famous songs (I Have Nothing, I’m Every Woman, My Love is your love, etc.) did not go to #1 but a song like Touch My Body went #1. That’s a joke! Having more #1s doesn’t mean she’s the more successful singer.
LAMBS GET OUT OF THIS THREAD!
Your Mariah fans are sooooo pathetic!!!!!!! You are so pressed! Mariah has had some good performances in her prime (none now) but NONE of them ever came even remotely close to being as epic as this Whitney performance, and this is only ONE of them. Whitney has countless epic and amazing performances throughout her career that Mariah could neverrrr touch. Stay mad. And continue being as pathetic as her with her fake ass pregnancy.
@mariah floop….thank you…u jst said it all…smone hs to stop dis shaddy way mariah uses to get her no1 songs….honestly,,,,,,
WHY SAM WHY??? Why did u post this?????? Now I’m crying!!!!!!!!
I’m one of the biggest Whitney Stans EVER and she had one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL voices I had ever heard in my life!!!!!!!!!
I wish my fans would leave mt Idol Whitney alone. She is the best. When I sang When You Believe with her all I saw was rainbows and butterflies. I wanted her to sing at me and Nicks wedding but she was busy recording her heartfelt Comeback: I Look To You which was #1 in 11 countries. I LOVE MS. HOUSTON!!!!!
Whitney Houston showed off in these performances. She was a diva in the sense that she was soooooooooooo beautiful. Her stage presence is unmatched. Her confidence and poise was through mesmerizing. Her voice “pure perfection”. I am so happy that I was born at a time to witness this miracle. Houston’s performance sends chills down your spine. Her voice was so pure and majestical. The audience was spellbound and it is one of the best live performances Whitney Houston has ever done. Three powerhouse songs – sung as a triple threat. You love this woman for what she has contributed to the world of music. And the contributions to our lives for having witnessed the 8th Wonder of the world. Thank you Whitney Houston!!!!!
Wow some of you posting here need to seriously grow up. All you are doing is proving what the rest of the world already knows, The young people of the United States are not only fat, but continues to get dumber and dumber…don’t believe it, just read all the comments posted here. Seriously some of you need to go read a book and then turn off your computer and go exercise. You bunch of fat retards…Even India is laughing at you.
Like I said before fatties, put down the cookies and cake, pull out a dictionary and talk a long long walk and understand how sadly you reflect America’s image to the rest of the world. Even Mexico is laughing at you. Btw Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey are laughing all the way to the bank at your ignorance and blind devotion. Whitney Crackston gets to buy more crack and Mooriah Carey gets to buy more bubble gum and hello kitty.
Whitney loved Dorothy Dandrige who stared in Porgy and Bess. Whitney’s hair styles were similar to Dorothy ‘s, I see a lot of Dorothy’s style in Whitney. Both displayed so much class and elegance. She also died similar to Dorothy, The bathroom and naked. I love Whitney for all those beautiful songs. Her Vocals are simply untouchable!! 2 thumbs up for you Nip!
