One of her most underrated and less-than-deserved played songs ever. Such a cool atmosphere, a merge of pop and r'n'b anyone can rely to. And the semitones are just killing me ... 😊
Speaking of x factor she absolutely dominated that show as a judge in 2009. When she performed this song it was a huge hit in the uk and the only song i remember she released in my lifetime
I've always admired the fact that she always managed herself to look perfect, especially after all what she went through. Even in death, Whitney still is the perfect definition of a true Phoenix... and this video proves it!
... and the media and people claim she died with not a penny. Left nothing behind. WRONG! She left us all in her will. She gave us her heart her soul her love of her fans and most of all that spectacular God gifted Voice! It doesn’t get any better or richer than that! God hold you tight Whitney Houston I know I am!
I wish things had ended differently. She had such an incredible talent, and she lived her life the way she chose. But damn, I wish things had ended differently and she was still here inspriring us all.
'' I wish things had ended differently and she was still here inspiring us all''...............she IS! my friend Whitney doesn't have to be on this earth to influence it, she does that every time anyone listens to her music or thinks of her strong spirit for life, love and faith.
@@Iskandarthepanda She had a serious drug addiction and it interfered with her career and personal life. Her addiction ended her life, unfortunately. She is talented as hell but she is also human and got into the wrong things being in the wrong company. So we have to think wisely before we consider hanging with the wrong crowd and/or experimenting with drugs. Things can go left quick.
I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes she was so gorgeous she had the glow on her Whitney was just one of the greatest female vocalist of all time she has beauty class eloquence I mean she had the whole package and she look Beyond sexy in this video she didn't have to show that much skin she was naturally pure beauty God knows I miss her every day Whitney is on my mind I can't believe it's been 5 years and next month February since she left us and my God it hurts like hell that she's not here I Will Always Love You Whitney I don't care what anybody say you are my heart my everything they would never ever be another Whitney Elizabeth Houston she set the bar so high no one could ever touch her and they never will!!!!!
Am I the only one that really likes her voice in her later years? It's just something about the darkness and the huskyness about it that just gives her so much more vocal personality!
you recognize her VOICE immediately. it's whitney. as a non musician, i can't hear any difference in her voice in comparison to her older songs. all fine. and everyones voice can change for a variety of reasons. but from all the divas, WHITNEY is the QUEEN 'til the end. even her beauty when she started was unmatched. so sad that she left us. but we all gotta go 1 day. it's the circle of life. and the next life will be real life. this's just a test here 💯 %
Whitney Houston is “ The Voice “ Amazing Vocalist , Beautiful, Black n Gifted 💗💕💗💕 This album was So UNRATED... Gone but Not Forgotten..,R.I.P. Nipsey ...
@@koapakakaluhiokalani4507 i understand what she meant. That's not whitney's voice. Compare to her 80s and 90s. I bet ya whitney Houston was not going to record nor perform this song back in the 80s or 90s. She was way too good on top for that weak song.
The "Voice". Oh what gift she had. She had a beautiful bright light on the inside and out. Oh how she's missed. She's with the savior now. Lighting up heaven and singing with saints. Amen!
At nearly 50 years old, she looking AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL & GLOWING just like her teen years!!!!!! RIP WHITNEY YOU ARE NOW JOINED BY YOUR DAUGHTER!!!! < 3 3 #
I remember watching this video when it first came out and thought YES, Whitney is back! Unfortunately soon after she was totally gone - such a loss. God bless her xx
Whitney was 45 here...have you not called in somewhere and had some idea if the person you were talking to was 19 (her debut) or staring down 50? Whitney was later able to live her life her way in Atlanta...after being trotted out like a show horse and had to live up to record label expectations her entire 20's and into her 30's, under a microscope...what better life is there than that, to then do it your way and not need or have to ask permission or approval for shit. 💪 Tell your friends and family all the things you don't THEN judge Whitney if judging's your job, and as if your voice is not aging along with the rest of you too. Her voice was PHENOMENAL here, and as gorgeous as ever! RIP Nippy...Happy B-day in heaven (08/09) . I'll always ❤you. 💐 🙏
Still can't believe it has been 12 years since this song came out. Still feels like it was released yesterday. Really admired how it sounded so different from the usual. Still listen to it every now and then. We always lose the good ones too soon.
Surprised no one else I have seen has pointed out those vocals especially at the end! Where she is really whaling. She was very close to the "old" Whitney soaring away!
Whitney was one of the most beautiful women in the world! She always made me feel good about being a brown girl in this world. She is so missed and her daughter in this dire situation, makes you think about what we've lost.
When I was a kid I can't say I was that attracted to her (born in '77 here) but as an adult I absolutely fancied her to the ends of the earth! Gorgeous lady!
Can't believe this song well the whole album for that matter is 5-6 years old. I remember like it was yesterday when her album was being promoted and how Whitney was just thr main star in the media. Fast forward to today and it's just nothing but sorrowness.
longbranch11207 I've never watched the funeral program just r kellys performance and when they carried her off and that wasn't until now. After watching Michael Jacksons funeral service I said I'm not watching Whitneys. I stopped having respect for Clive when Whitney died and he continued to throw that pre grammy bullshit of a party while her deceased body just laid upstairs, who could or would even want to party? If it wasn't for Whitney im sure a lot of people wouldn't even know or care about Clive.. He's all about business and I guess for him the show must go on but this old mofo didn't give a fuck about the real Nippy but just Whitney Houston... Clive is shady and when I heard how wrong he did TLC that was enough for me.
+Mocha Caramel I know I was so rooting for her :( She seemed really Back! The whole I Look To You album is actually favorite!! Still playing it all the time! Thank God she left us at least with that last gift.
SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE THIS VIDEO. NOT SAD AT ALL. WHITNEY HOUSTON HAD JOY IN HER LIFE UP TO WHEN SHE PASSED. LOOK AT HER FACE AND EYES IN THE HER LAST VIDEO'S FOR THE "I LOOK TO YOU" RELEASE... SHE RADIATES PURE JOY AND HAPPINESS. PERHAPS THAT DID NOT LAST UNTIL THE END OF OF HER LIFE, THOUGH I BELIEVE THAT IT DID.
I remember when I first heard this song when I was going through a toxic relationship and the words helped me realize a lot of truths. He made me feel miserable. I dropped him and now I have the love of my life who treats me like a million dollar bill! I think the He in this song can also be God. He will always love us. Each day I am mindful to all the large and small acts of love showered on me.
I calculate she was my age (45) at this time and looked GREAT! I just now ran across this video and showed it to my 81 yr. father because I know he likes her too. He said " She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Bless his heart! As for Whitney, she seemed like she had shed her shackles of addiction and Bobby B. How tragically it all ended for her and her daughter. I didn't see it coming!
WHITNEY HOUSTON, THE QUEEN OF THE VOICE Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 - February 11, 2012) was an American singer and actress. Nicknamed "The Voice", she is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales of over 200 million records worldwide. Houston has influenced many singers in popular music, and is known for her powerful, soulful vocals and vocal improvisation skills. She is the only artist to have had seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, from "Saving All My Love for You" in 1985 to "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" in 1988. Houston enhanced her popularity upon entering the movie industry. Her recordings and films, have generated both great success and controversy. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career and posthumously, including two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 16 Billboard Music Awards, and 28 Guinness World Records, as well as induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame (twice), the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the New Jersey Hall of Fame. Houston was ranked among the “Top 100 Greatest Artists of All Time” by magazines such as VH1, Billboard, MTV, and Rolling Stones. Houston began singing in church as a child and became a background vocalist while in high school. She was one of the first black women to appear on the cover of Seventeen after becoming a teen model in 1981. With the guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis, Houston signed to the label at age 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney Houston (1985) and Whitney (1987), both peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and are among the best-selling albums of all time. Houston's third studio album, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990), yielded two Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "All the Man That I Need". Houston made her acting debut with the romantic thriller film The Bodyguard (1992), which became the tenth highest-grossing film to that date despite receiving poor reviews for its screenplay and lead performances. She recorded six songs for the film's soundtrack, including "I Will Always Love You" which won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and became the best-selling physical single by a woman in music history. The soundtrack for The Bodyguard won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and remains the best-selling soundtrack album of all time. Houston went on to star and record soundtracks for Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996). Houston produced the latter's soundtrack, which became the best-selling gospel album of all time. As a film producer, she produced multicultural movies including Cinderella (1997) and series including The Princess Diaries and The Cheetah Girls. Houston's first studio album in eight years, My Love Is Your Love (1998), sold millions and spawned several hit singles, including "Heartbreak Hotel", "It's Not Right but It's Okay" and "My Love Is Your Love". Following the success, she renewed her contract with Arista for $100 million, one of the biggest recording deals of all time. However, her personal problems began overshadowing her career. Her 2002 studio album, Just Whitney, received mixed reviews. Her drug use and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown received widespread media coverage. After a six-year break from recording, Houston returned to the top of the Billboard 200 chart with her final studio album, I Look to You (2009). On February 11, 2012, Houston accidentally drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, with heart disease and cocaine use as contributing factors. News of her death coincided with the 2012 Grammy Awards and was covered internationally. 👑💯‼️❤️💯‼️😘😘😘 And I have the great, great honor of having (now!) eight albums by this American music diva in my discography. So I have THE BODYGUARD - SOUNDTRACK (1992), two copies in CD format. I still have (now!) four original albums, all equally in CD format, because I don't buy, nor do I like the digital download. So I have the album WHITNEY (1987), two units, MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE (1998), also two units. And I recently bought the CD, released in 2002, JUST WHITNEY..., just one copy. For me, I regret the commercial failure of this album, it's an excellent album! Today I ordered another Whitney Houston CD. I LOOK TO YOU (2009). Only one copy, one unit. Therefore, there are eight albums in all. All her albums are Pop/R&B masterpieces, I like all the ones I have, and the albums I don't have yet, but Just Whitney... it's just genius! I'm a big fan of Whitney Houston, too! God bless you and may you have the happiness you didn't have on Earth! 👑💯‼️❤️💯‼️🌹🌹🌹 I Look to You is the seventh and final studio album by American singer Whitney Houston. It was first released on August 28, 2009, through Sony Music in Europe, then August 31, 2009 with Arista Records in the United States before being released by RCA Records in the United Kingdom on October 19, 2009. The album was Houston's first non-holiday studio album since 2002's Just Whitney. It received favorable reviews from music critics, based on an aggregate score of 66/100 from Metacritic and debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number one with sales of 305,000 beating her previous career best first-week sale of 205,137 units with Just Whitney (2002), and it was her first album to reach number one in the US since 1992's The Bodyguard. Additionally it became her fourth chart-topping album, thus extending her as the female artist with the most cumulative weeks at the number one position. It has spawned two official singles: The title song, which became a top 20 US R&B chart single, and the international single "Million Dollar Bill", which hit the top ten in several countries worldwide and also becoming a US top 20 R&B hit. Since its release, I Look to You has gone on to sell over 2.5 million copies worldwide, earning platinum certification in seven countries and gold certification in eight. A promotional single, "Nothin' But Love", taken from the album, was only released to UK radio stations to promote the accompanying Nothing but Love World Tour. Houston died on February 11, 2012, making this her last living studio release.

I remember so many people were ragging on her voice when she was alive at this point in her career and now that she’s gone they want to pretend like they had her back, please 🙄. Let’s start appreciating these legends when they’re still with us and not wait until they’re long gone.
The People who said she couldn't sing anymore were ridiculous. This was probably one of her best songs since the MLIYL cd. Her voice here is on point! She was the best even when her voice was supposedly "shot".
The problem was that Whitney set the bar, and she set it so high. I'll never forget her voice on "I Will Always Love You," and particularly around that time she was the gold standard, the mark of perfection. No one since has been able to touch her, and I doubt that anyone ever will. Unfortunately, she was judged more harshly later on because every time she opened her mouth to sing, everyone expected this greatness and she was constantly compared to those earlier years, when her voice was new, fresh and in its prime. Who among us could possibly compete with a 20-something year old version of ourselves when in our 40's?
Atomic Pressure Whitney never wrote her biggest hits. I Will Always Love You was a Dolly Parton cover. She’s a great singer, not everyone needs to write their own songs too
It's sooo sad she's not around anymore! This last album was soooo good! This song was just pure gold! It was a #1 hit as a Dance-Club song and Whitney sounded as perfect as ever! The song was fun, filled with energy and had such a diiferent R&B groove that what you heard at the moment. And I think like it sounded perfect with Whitney's god-send of a voice. Plus she DID look like a million bucks in the video! We'll love you always Whitney and thanks sooo much for the incredible music!
I listen to Whitney Houston since I was young tbh. My mother put me on her songs everyday. It is was amazing memories that will never forget about this until this day.
THAT IS QUITE EVIDENT. ODD HOW PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO TARNISH HER REPUTATION. PEOPLE ARE SO UNKIND. WHITNEY WAS LOVED BY PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, LITERALY. I CONSIDER HER TALENT ON A GENIUS LEVEL. MIND BLOWING, REALY. A GIFTED SPECIAL WOMAN.
Mariah is such a LEGEND and she was always showing respect to Whitney! Whitney was something else that type of energy in the voice is not something that a lot of people have.
@@robinbrown9265 Right! To me she is THE voice. My sister and I both love her and still talking about her much. And Im sure, we are not the only ones. So Nippy kind of lives on forever.
