WHITNEY HOUSTON w/ CISSY HOUSTON & GARY GARLAND x WONDERFUL COUNSELOR / Voice Teacher Analyzes 

FINALLY!! Somebody is acknowledging how talented CISSY HOUSTON is. Reminds me of an interview when Cissy Houston said, "Why would I be jealous of her [Whitney]? I made her what she is." Let'em know Cissy!!!

My husband was in Whitney's band at this time of her career, the band loved playing Wonderful Counselor, it was all the way church!!! This was her band playing with her this night, not the usual house band.

Hundreds, probably thousands, of reactors on RU-vid and you're the 1st one I've seen react to this performance by Whitney her mother and her brother. this is fire…! and she did this opening a secular music awards show. Only Whitney.

Whitney's vocal precision, REPHRASING, balancing and agility is out of this world. God bless CISSY HOUSTON for bringing to us Whitney houston.

Cissy was singing like "where ya think they got it from?"

I'm baffled by the fact that they are individually ad-libbing without chaos and adding so much to the performance.

Excellent review. Cissy Houston taught her offspring to sing well. They are so polished yet gritty in the right places. 🎙 ⭐️

And this is why I never understood why ppl compared Mariah to Whitney. They are two totally different singers. They both have amazing voices but Whitney had that gospel background that really brings a more soulful, and captivating vibe. I love MC, but there is just something about Whitney that to me NO ONE can top. It’s not just the voice, it’s the soul, her storytelling through song, stage presence, ughhhh she was just so God gifted ❤❤❤

Cissy was on all of Luthers records. Funny thing is He started out as one as her background singers.

What a family lineage when you include Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Warwick. There was a reason that Mother Cissy was one of the most in demand background singers in the game back in the day. Enjoyed your review!

15:09 This happened @ a time when people didn’t do this on Award Shows. This is what makes Whitney missed. She could’ve done this on the SOURCE AWARDS and had everyone fkn D O N E💯🖤💛🖤💛

It’s Cissy eating them both up for me lol 🔥

Cissy just danced on the top of this song in her skilled soprano range and style. Hands down Whitney and Gary were bringing their strong Alto and Tenor strength. Overall, brilliant collaboration from one fantastic singing family. ALWAYS! HONOR THE MOST HIGH... 🙏😊

It's because of who Whitney was that we got to experience Cissy at this stage in her career and her brother was excellent, as well. Thank You God and shout out to Whitney.

Love Cissy’s voice, rich and velvety. Of the 3, you know who the most experienced is , she taught her babies. Very unique.

Yes, ya’ll! Ms. Cissy is another Mahalia. This performance vid pure heaven.

Thank You! This was phenomenal. The blend is perfection. Cissy also sang background vocals on Whitney’s “How Will I Know,” which contributes to it’s unique sound. Please listen to the acappella version.

Spirit took over and you couldn’t even leave the moment. Love it 🙌🏾 loved this song too!

That crowd was definitely not ready! I would've been on my feet. Love this.

remember watching this AMA on January 25,1988 I was 17 years old and a Senior in high school. I love this performance. Great video. I love the fact that Whitney or her mother never try to out sing each other. Gary has a beautiful voice too!! Talented family. Thank you for your analysis ❤ You keep praising Him!!

Whitney Houston was definitely blessed by God. R.I.P Whitney Houston and Bobbie Christine

That performance made me smile! Nothing like family singing, in any combination: parents and kids, siblings, aunts uncles and nieces, it's ALL good! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👦

The Holy Ghost got you good at the end! My favorite video of CISSY Houston is when she sings I Do Don’t You!!! I would love if you analyzed that one!

Now that my friends is some vocal talent!❤️

OMG ! : What else can I say ? Amazing performance with our unique , one and only Whitney ! God bless the 3 of them ! Hi from Paris , France , to all Withney's fans from all over the world.

I didn't know this video existed. Sing Ms. Cissy!!! I love Whitney singing gospel. Voice made for the Lord.

We can tell that the Holy spirit was in the room that night! Everyone was clapping and enjoying The Houston singing. They were so talented 👏👏👏

Babyyyy Sissy did NOT come to PLAY!! SANG Sissy!

I love this, it warms my heart but makes me sad Whitney is no longer with us 😭. I wasn’t even thought of when the AMAs for that year came out but this is just heavennnnn 😭😭😭

omg you ate this, i really luv this performance and i felt like it had a lot of chemistry, which added to their vocal dynamic and show off their individual vocal abilities.

Jaron, I was right there with you this morning! Had to stop getting ready for work, just to give him the glory, because HE IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE and a WONDERFUL COUNSELOR!

This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Can you please do a segment of Deniece Williams singing "God is Amazing, and his eye is on the Sparrow,and' Whiter than Snow"?

Dr Cissy Houston ..THE TRUTH!!!! Learned so much!

Baaaabbyyyyy lol every time you say “I feel myself getting happy..” I always want you to lol you always share a good word.

Seeing you get happy...makes me happy. Gone take your joy Jaron. TAKE IT!

the pointer sisters, ashford and simpson; and the country singers was really into. cher is a fan/student of soul singing from the 60s. her dad and friends also enjoyed

Cissy was SO PROUD 🥹

Yess!! I love this performance!!! Always fills my heart with joy. Please more of Whitney

Singing siblings! Love it… yes they sound like they were baked from the same batch… I hadn’t realized their style was the same. I learned so much. They have such a similar timbre, too… so beautiful

YASS! On of my ALL time favorite Whitney & Cissy performances! Thanks! Geniuses at work! Just brilliant!

I remember watching it live and just had chills through the whole performance. Still amazing.

Wonder who killing it on gospel piano? They were 'having church' up and through that stage?!

We thank God for you Jaron!

Mr. Jaron you nailed this analysis on one my favorite songs! My first time seeing your channel and I'm so glad to have found you. Bless 🙌🏿 🥰🌷

I love how Jaron had to cut himself off at the end when he went into praise and worship! Haha I know that's right, Jaron! Go in! 🙌🏽👏🏽

Glad you feel a lot better. Wish you could be my voice coach, love your analysis on these 3 greats!

Thank you for your ministry!

You are amazing Jaron! I have too been under the weather with my COPD acting fool and I can't thank God enough keeping us! I have still pressed singing every Sunday our churches worship minister!!! To God be all the Glory and Honor all of which he deserves.

Jaron what you said about siblings is so true. My dad had 8 brothers and 1 sister. They all could play an instrument and sing. In fact, my dad and 5 of his brother actually had a semi-professional gospel group. They would open for other gospel stars like The Gospel Keynotes, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Rev James Cleveland, Shirley Ceasar. They knew how to play off each other. My dad also had 2 best friends, one who was a famous gospel singer back in the day-that man was married to my aunt (my moms sister) and they had a couple of daughters. We grew up together-almost like sibling. We would sing together at church. We knew how to ad lib and harmonize with each other. Now that we’re all older, when we get together for any occasion we sing together. Last time we sang some old school songs and the next afternoon on my mothers front porch we sang some old gospel songs. My mothers next door neighbor came outside to watch and listen.

Glad to see you back in action! Love your content

Thank you so much for sharing this❤

This is also one of my favorite videos on YT. Thank you!

This lifted my spirit, thank you 🙏 for sharing this 😊

This performance was everything and amazing reaction video you did on it.

Gone 'head & get your praise on! Them tongues was bout to come loose, I heard it & I love it! 😂🥰

Brought me to tears on this Sunday morning! ❤❤❤

glad to hear you are better!

Great breakdown and great video, as always. Keep it up, Jaron! 👏🏿

Jaron! Your breakdowns are top tier! A gift!!!

Yes sir! I remember watching this live and recording on my VCR so I could run it back to learn all the parts!

So beautiful....they sound so amazing!

My gosh cissy is almost 60 years old here 😳😳😳and she can sing like that insane

One of my favourite songs to listen to around Christmas and beautiful and informative analysis as usual ❤️❤️

This was my favorite video from your channel! Your reaction has reached my soul! ❤️🎉🙏🤗

OMG, I am soooooo glad I came across your channel (by mistake)! Your observation is incredible and YOUR VOICE IS AMAAAAAAAZING!!! Your my new voice coach 😊

Cissy's soprano!! OMG!

I can remember when this aired on TV. I still get chills when they sang this. My God Thank you 😊🙏🏼🙌❤

This is one of my favorite videos of Whitney.

Yesss Jaron, you better preach. I love how open you are with your worship.

I can analyze Whitney singing voice all day. I loved her notes 🎵 and style.

Thank you, Jaron, so much for your analysis of this performance! This is amazing!!! All three of them are amazing singers. I just wish they had turned up the mics of Ms. Cissy & Gary just a tad. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️

I never thought Whitney could blow better than Cissy. They both can "Sang", but listen to Cissy when she sanged with Whitney honoring Nelson Mandela. Miss Cissy acted a fool. ++

Momma Houston sang them high background vocals 🎶 on Aretha"s Ain't No Way!

They had the same teacher. On stage with them Cissy!

Dear Jaron so wonderful..you are BACK in rude health doing one of my faves. I love love love this version as much as you. You can never listen to it too many times. The appreciation for brother Gary and Cissy is beyond. I love listening to Gary in his prime duetting with Nippy live in concert on Nobody Loves Me Like You Do..pure goose bumps. Ms Cissy is the business. How can you not listen to her in anything but awe on THAT soprano line in ' Ain't No Way'.. or with Whitney singing back up for Chaka, The Neville Bros or Linda Rondstadt? Oh to have been in the studio... Mama Cissy schooled her babies and gave them WINGS...and lord how they flew!

Glad to see you happy and healthy again. I love your content! Since you're in the Christmas spirit now, please analyze Samara Joy and her father singing "O Holy Night." I think you'd really enjoy it.

i too, miss the acapella moments! i also miss the breakdowns (sopranos sing... altos sing... tenors sing... everybody sing), or when it's like a battle between sopranos, altos & tenors each singing a different part simultaneously. and furthermore... what happened to a good old choir march into the sanctuary song?! you know, with a little one-two step march in cadence?! lol

This just makes you smile!!!! Cissy is soprano gold for sure!!!

I've been following you for some time but mostly catch your videos on TikTok. Thankfully, RU-vid always serves me a video I haven't seen, and when it's a gospel song or artist, I know I'm in for a treat! I absolutely LIVE for your love of Christ, and when you serve us a word of encouragement at the end, my soul is instantly blessed! Keep doing what you do sir. We are all better for it. God bless you! ❤

She left us with some gems 💎 ✨️

I’ve never seen your videos before so I came to see the commentary you would bring but left with praise and thanksgiving tears streaming down my cheeks, praise Jesus Christ forever, thank you for this beautiful video full of technical details but overflowing with praise, Merry Christmas!

LAWWWWDDDD IM CRYING THANK YOU!!!

School was in session!!! Yessssss!!! Glad you’re better !! Can you do one of Oprah legends ball ???✨✨

🗣Jaron!!! I WANT A JAROTONE TSHIRT!!!🤣 Blessings From Texas🤠

This blessed my soul🙏🏽 and I could feel that spirit that was coming over you🙏🏽 yes lord😭

The way Jaron reacts to miss cissy's voice is the same way I react, I love her voice

Thank you for explaining how they do this❤

Great video!

Amazing analysis

Praise Him, Jaron -! That blessed me. He is a Wonderful Counselor!

Jaron, could not agree with you more…but the pianist was amazing as well. He/she was playing that music. Wow what a performance.
