Fun Fact: The Part Of Cinderella Was Originally Offered To Whitney Earlier In Her Career. (A Little Before The Bodyguard) However, After Accepting The Role Of Rachel Marron And Being Consumed In The Whole Whirlwind That Was The Bodyguard, When The Time Came To Do Cinderella, Whitney Was In Her 30s And Felt She Was Too Old To Play The Character. She Personally Called Brandy To Play The Role Because Whitney Felt That Brandy Was “Cinderella.” It Was Settled That Brandy Would Play Cinderella And That Whitney Would Play Her Fairy Godmother. However, Some Executives At Disney, Felt That Having A Black Princess And A Black Fairy Godmother Would Be Too Much And Wanted To Opt Out For A Brandy-Esque “White” Contemporary Like LeAnn Rimes Or Jewel; But By Doing This, They Knew They’d Lose Whitney’s Involvement In The Film! They Kept Brandy And The Movie Amassed 60 Million Viewers When It Premiered On ABC!

The one and ONLY Black Cinderella and Fairy Godmother!!

Whitney's "There's Music in You" is one of my favorite vocal performances by her... Masterful phrases, dynamics, etc....

So many legends played in the movie Whoopi, Whitney, brandy , Bernadette Peters, Desselle-Reid

This movie was like the vocal Bible when I was a kid! They couldn’t get me to shut up after I learned all the songs 😂

Brandy is the first Black Disney Princess. And she needs to get more recognition. I love this song.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

The musical director really let brandy and Whitney really sannnnnngggg! Being that’s it’s a Disney movie and being that’s soul/ r&b /gospel style voices

Whitney sang this role as if she had been waiting her entire life to!

That tight enunciation in Brandy you can tell Whitney was on that ass about that😂 Whitney was the queen of clarity and perfection 💯👌🏽

You hit on something I’ve been thinking about lately. When talking about how it makes you feel because this is the way a lot of black kids would see a fairy god mother. I remember a lot of vocal coaches talking about how it’s not fully theater because of the r&b vibes. But they don’t understand that we have soul in everything we do. The same way people were mad about the tiny change Halle made to the “wish I could be” part of “Part of your world”.

I was born in late 1990 and this was my first legitimate introduction to Whitney. She'll always be the otherworldly fairytale godmother to me. Long live The Voice

This is one of the first movies I watched after my mom passed earlier that same year. I was 9. Whitney was my fairy godmother in my head, and this musical (which I watched at least 100 times on VHS that year) helped me escape the pain from the loss I survived that year. It's been 26 years, and I still cry when I hear Music in You.

This movie, brandy, and whitney are national treasures

Here I am getting emotional with you. Such a treasure we all lost.

I’m the whitest white girl that ever whited, but this is 100% my favorite version of Cinderella. I wanted to be beautiful like Brandy!

My goodness! Whitney Houston sounds absolutely insanely angelically beautiful this song! Like her vibrato, her tone, placement, acrobatics, emotions, EVERYTHING IS GOLD!

Ugh, I rewatched this when it FINALLY got put on Disney+ and my mama was so sick of me singing all of the songs (and delivering most of the lines). This will always be my movie, and Whitney will always make me cry. Legendary

When I say I literally just cried this weekend watching the Whitney Houston movie on Netflix… only to come here and see her sing one of my favorite songs sang by her. The fact that she can still move me even though she’s not physically here is why I say I am a Whitney Houston Stan. No she wasn’t perfect. I loved how human she was. Her legacy still lives on and I’m so glad that God blessed this earth with her. I so appreciate her sharing her gift.

I will never forgive Sylvia Rhone and Atlantic Records for not signing off on the soundtrack. Truly a missed opportunity for Brandy. Whitney was very disappointed by that. "Impossible" always been my favorite song from Cinderella. Seeing Whitney in Cinderella makes me wish she would have done Broadway. Whitney would have been terrific on Broadway.

Please do the step sisters song next!!!! There’s so much going on with their augmented harmonies and i would love to hear your breakdown!

WHITNEY IS THE GOAT AND HER NOTE AT THE END OF IMPOSSIBLE OMG

I will admit that Whitney gassed every singer 🤣 lol... If you watch the making of this... she gasses Brandi... and in every show where someone is singing for her, she just showers them with praise. 🙂

And We Do Come To The Jaron M. Legrair Studio For Church!😂 We Come With Our Cups Lifted Ready To Receive!🤣

11:00 mark: "That won't believe!" Yessir. I've always wondered how Whitney connected that into the rhythm, of the song. Thank you for explaining that! It simply proves that this version of this musical, is timeless. * Sigh *. Lol.

Some of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies ever, Brandy and Whitney were an incomparable duo. I miss Whitney too and I share your sentiments ❤. I was so happy when Todrick remade the songs and actually got Brandy to be in the medley/video. Brandy/Whitney are national treasures. Thank you for this 🥰🥰

Everytime I listen to a song by Brandy, I hear Whitney. That's one of many reasons, Brandy remains as one of my favorite artists. Whitney will forever be the voice. Her music is timeless too.

I LOVE that you stopped to address that message she was sending in the "impossible things are happening every day." I put that quote and a picture of Brandy and Whitney together on my graduation cap when I graduated college, and your explanation of what it means is EXACTLY why I chose it. Because anyone who has pursued any kind of advanced degree remembers at least one moment where finishing that program felt impossible. But there we were, at the finish line 💗

When you started preaching I almost took off running!! “IMPOSSIBLE things are happening everyday” amen! 🎉🙏🏼

"Impossible things are happening every day!" You better preach!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Jaron your voice is phenomenal and I wish you’d do a cover of every Whitney song. 🥹 Sidenote: how lucky were we to be alive at the same time as Whitney Houston. Incomparable.

Me and my cousin used to take turns singing the songs 🤭🥰💯 Instant classic 🥰🙌🏽✨

I miss Whitney so much, too. Her transition still doesn't seem real. Everytime one of her songs shuffles on in my Apple Music library, I dance, cry a little bit, and reflect on the timeless nature of the voice, the beloved Whitney Houston.

When I tell you that this may be my favorite voice analysis you’ve done. Reason is because I grew up loving Brandy and my Mom is a Whitney stan. She was such an amazing example and watching that movie as a little girl gave me a true representation. so for you to introduce other aspects of their singing and why it resonated with us all made me so emotional. I miss her so much. I wish I still had my brandy doll. What a time.

You have to Analyze “The Bodyguard “❤❤

I remembered when this first aired on tv on ABC wonderful World of Disney. I love the cast and the songs are just beautifully done. I wish they would release the soundtrack. And I love impossible possible! This is where my love of musicals really started. ❤❤❤❤

"Impossible.... things are happening everyday!" Yessir! Just look around. Don't make me shout, Jaron. Lol.

18:41 TAKE US TO CHURCH!! I absolutely love this!!! This is one of my favorite versions of Cinderella and so happy you did this video. I would love to see you analyze the 1997 Anastasia animated film!!!!

Whitney and Brandy really made magic with this! Such a cherished work of love they made - thank God we will always have it! Whitney Houston 🌹

Hey Jaron! Whitney, Brandy and all the Actors, did an AWESOME job in this movie and I miss Whitney so much. For a long time, I couldn't even listen to her music after she passed. Beautiful video👏👏🎵🎶🎼🎙🎙🎙

This analysis definitely had me teary eyed 🥹 This was my late cousin's, who passed at the tender age of 5 years old, favorite movie. Seeing this just brought back so many good memories of her 💓 💕

15:40 i love Whitney's pronunciation of it's possible. It's almost like it's possi-BOL. Rather than it's possi-BUL

I’ve loved Brandy from day one! She has so much control over her voice as a young artist. It was so impressive!

When this aired on ABC it was a special occasion in my house. My six year old daughter was amazed and it is her favorite Cinderella movie.

My 2 all time favourite artists! I'm so pleased you reacted to this! I love the chemistry and ease between Whitney and Brandy. I love that their relationship continued to grow and develop after this and they remained close. Whitney was truly Brandy fairy godmother. There's a video on RU-vid of them first meeting and recording Impossible which is fun and fascinating.

*#THIS**, I ALREADY KNOW, ITS GOING TO BE MY FAVORITE VIDEO OF ALL!!!!!* 💞🪄👸🏾🎶🧚🏾‍♀️👠✨🥰 *CRAZY HOW SHE WAS ONLY 48 😢*

Jaron! This was excellent! Please, please do a part 2 and analyze the rest of this movie. It’s my favorite of all time, and I love how you broke it down.

To have the legendary Bernadette Peters with the icon Whitney singing in the one film!

This movie is becoming a cult classic like The Wiz

Whitney Houston is actually brandy’s godmother so seeing them playing in these roles together was magical one of the most iconic moments of the generation

Tears 😢, I miss Whitney. This movie is why I started singing! Thank you for reacting to this! I love your channel! Keep up the good work please.

14:37 the way I go back to Disney movies when I’m down for this EXACT reason!! It’s messages and motivation in them Disney movies for adults too!! 😂😂

I was a little girl when this came out, and this was and has always been my favorite version of Cinderella. It's just so magical. The voices, the cast, the costumes, the nostalgia, everything. I still find "Impossible" stuck in my head at times when I'm in the shower. 😂

My favorite movie of all of time R.I.P Whitney

Whoopi fought for them to have diversity in this movie! I watched the behind the making of the cast on RU-vid

Thank you for this! When I was younger I use to be embarrassed to share how much I enjoyed this film and the music. It wasn't until 2020 when i rewatched in its totality that I had the confidence to share how much this film means to me. I too get emotionally when I hear whitney in this production. Specifically when she sings there is music in you. It is so powerful and uplifting. And very prophetic. This was my first introduction to theater and I have loved it every since. In a perfect world I would love to be a Broadway or theater actor/singer. I would love to take one of your classes as well. This channel has been a life saver for me. Your so authentic and you're not apologetic about christ and your relationship w/christ. You are an inspiration to me. Thanks again for this upload! RIP Whitney, The Voice. THERE IS MUSIC IN YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND ME!

Whitney produced this and I think she won an Emmy for it she was hands on with the vocals Whitney got Brandy together

Such a great movie!!! Can't beat Whitney Houston as Fairy Godmother ♥ My suggestions: Burlesque (with Cher and Christina Aguilera), The Greastest Showman (With Hugh Jackman), Frozen 1 & 2 (Idina Menzel has a crazy big voice!!), Voctave's "Disney Princess Medley" as well as their "Cinderella". Please upvote this so Jaron will see!!! EDIT: Oh! Also, you could react to and analyze anything by Angelina Jordan, she's fantastic!!!

I just adore you. I love seeing your passion come through in your videos. Your energy is waking up my soul. Thank you.

Thank you Jaron, for always bringing the intelligence and knowledge of music and art, into these videos, across the spectrum! 4 minutes into this video, and I'm already crying. This song (and the entire movie) is so close to my heart, and inspired my love for theater and the arts, as a kid (shoutout to the VHS days of media. What a great time. Lol).

I’m glad I’m not the only one that felt the “theres music in you” song as a child. That song breathed life into me every time I heard it. Still my fav to this day.

Thank you so so much for doing this analysis!! I watched this movie/recorded it from tv as a child and felt feelings I couldn’t articulate at that age. Now, as an “adult” I get emotional rewatching this and really hearing these messages again-as the person I am today and the little girl I was when this gift first arrived. And I appreciate you for highlighting the messages in the lyrics-timeless and relevant for us to all hold close to our hearts. Thank you for what you do, Jaron! May you continue to make impossible happen every day 💛

This was such a genius movie and the way you described both brilliantly executed techniques of Brandi and Whitney vocally as well as lyrically. So spot on and honestly I got very emotional because the words of each song is relating very heavily in this moment in my life. Losing my mom almost a month ago and being a singer and figuring life out after being her caregiver, has been a lot to adjust too, because seeing this. Being taken back to a nostalgic place with this movie, your energy, your expertise. Everything just came together beautifully and I thank you for sharing this video for it has blessed me to remember to keep movie forwards. That as a singer whose now working towards my artistry now and growth, I can have more faith knowing Impossible things are happening everyday because there are times reality sets in and some things aren’t the best now but it will be and there is music in me that I need to tap into and release. So thank you Jaron! What you do is so appreciated! 🙏🏾✨😇

As usual fantastic analysis my friend!❤

You really could have done this whole cast album! This entire cast was vocaling down throughout!

Whitney! My God! That live performance of There’s Music In You is one of my favorite performances. Whitney!

I taped over a recording of my 7th birthday party to record this when it came on tv lol. And I watched it over and over and over! And now, I watch it with my little girl❤️ It brings me to tears how special this movie is.

This is my most favourite Cinderella movie. ❤

This is forever one of my favorite Disney musicals of all time I watched it on my recorded VHS for years ❤❤❤ thank you for covering this one 🥹

My favorite episode!! Impossible... things ARE happening everyday. PREACH!!!!❤Thank you brotha!

Loved your analysis of this! I couldn't watch this without getting teary-eyed listening to Whitney 🥹. Her voice is heaven sent. Her & Brandy made such a beautiful duo in this movie. I remember watching this movie as a little girl & really believing in myself ❤

This is the GOAT version of Cinderella and nobody will ever convince me otherwise. I love Julie Andrews (how can you not), but this version is just pure magic. I can't remember if it was in the retrospective that came out recently for the 25th Anniversary or if it was interviews from before, but I remember hearing cast and production team commenting that this was a passion project for Whitney and that she pushed hard for Brandy to be Cinderella, to the point of essentially making them a package deal. Brandy talked a lot about how nurturing it was to sing and work with Whitney for this role and to tell this particular story, especially in the 90s. Definitely worth seeking out.

Still makes me cry Whitney isn't with us anymore loved all her work she had a beautiful voice so does Brandy she picked the right one to take the role of Cinderella

I never thought about that part at the end Because it’s broke up. “ impossible! …….. Things are happening everyday.” But now I hear the “ Impossible things are happening ! “ so good lyrically.

Two of my favorite female singers of all time! Love them both, great video. And sir you’re singing!!!

I love this video, I love your passion and I always love watching your videos ❤

There is behind the scenes of the recording session, it's everything!!

This took me out! Lol. 🥺😭 This film is so nostalgic and beautifully encouraging. I miss Whitney. She brought such light with her voice and films. Thanks for helping remind us!

Awesome analysis! Whitney was so special man. I’ve been binge watching everything with her in it all week 🥰🥹

“There’s music in you” beautiful, gorgeous. You said it all. What got me as a kid was Whitney’s physical performance on that last run, like she is conducting herself and the townspeople. Ooof that run and her arms like a Broadway play and CUT to black. SOOO GOOD!!

I’m right here with you! I feel like she believes in me too! 😊😌 not just nostalgia but very emotional for me because this was me & my big sister’s favorite movie! She passed away 17 years ago & I still miss her❤I must say my sister could blow close to Aunty Whitney too foreal so THANK YOU! I needed this video because you really get how special & magical this classic is for us🫶🏾💯🥰

24:59 love that vibrato f5 with f#5 peak

Look you got me tearing up at the end. I'm with you on how Whitney made you feel. She did the same to me. Just impactful. Like she made me want to be a singer just like her.

I am so thankful for you! Keep doing what you do. You are an inspiration and a role model.❤

thank you for that word! you really touched my spirit with those words of encouragement to believe in yourself. “impossible things are happening every day!” 🙌🏾

I would love to hear you analyze all the Cinderella/Prince duets in this movie too!

Even though this was probably past Whitney’s prime years she still sounds and looks amazing ❤ I love how excited you are to hear Whitney. We miss her so much…still😢

Smh Preach! You always get me there cause you always take it there! but for real though .. Whitney flying around and singing like an angel got me balling crying! I miss her soooo much.

I’m loving these new content videos !!!!! ❤❤❤ great job Jaron!!! Keep flying and walking

IMPOSSIBLE things are happening… Alright now sir! 🙌🏽

This vid made me subscribe!! I am here for it!!

I have been waiting for this reaction!! One of my favorite movies ever!!

Jaron you BREAKS IT DOWN!!!! 👌🏾💯💪🏾

I am addicted to your videos now❤. I am learning new little singing tricks everytime. Thank you so much

They both sound so amazing!!!! But Whitney was so special!!!!! A premier vocalist!!!!

All in my feels 🥹. This was so good, and you were SANGIN

Thank you for this analysis of one of my favorite Disney movies. I miss her too. 😢 The fairy godmother role was perfect for Whitney. I love how supportive she was of other singers. Another good example is when Jennifer Hudson sang “I Will Always Love You” to Whitney. 🤯 Whitney looked like a proud mom. She got up and started cheering her on. I can’t imagine how J Hud felt in that moment. Seriously, if you’re reading this and you haven’t seen it, look it up. I bawled my eyes out. 😭 It’s beautiful to watch.

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE version. This brings back so many memories. I sing every single word!!!!!

True vocals!!! I love this breakdown and remember watching in awe of a kid. I'm emotional and really have a newfound admiration of Brandy's unique tone. Love seeing the recording behind the scenes with Whitney like girl, c'mon😂 Whitney was preggers there. Love their voices together👑🙏💖

Preach all you want to, Jaron!! 🙌🏾
