Today we had arranged the night was gonna be dedicated to DIVAS. So each one would bring a live performance of his preferred diva. The host loves Mariah, so he played a track of her latest live DVD, "My all". Some other brought Barbra Streisand's performances, mainly from Timeless concert (which I also love. Barbra is SOOO astonishing.. ), others brought stuff from Beyonce, Rihanna and Cher. Me, of course, brought one Whitney acting...""I love you Porgy/And I am telling you/ I have nothing", from AMAs 1994........you can not imagine WHAT A MOMENT during the playing of the performance....my friends were all in silence, listening to her...they were kinda astonished...only silence invaded the room during the performance, suddenly interrupted by expressions like "what a voice"; "incredible"; "she is eating herself the stage",....and several like this...I think they were shocked. They couldn't imagine something like this. And then I was proud of my (yours) Whitney Houston.

PERFECT. it's a performance that will never be replicated by anyone, imo. another i love to show folks is whitney performing "Home" on Merv Griffin. just the raw, unaffected talent is so evident. thanks, Urkonejo, for the positive post.

I love that performance. Incredible! A close second is TGLOA at the Arista Anniversary. Honorable mention is WDIHSB live. Breathtaking!

Your post actually made me feel a little nostalgic. Back home in Cali, two good friends in I would often get together and have "Diva" weekends. Nothing bonds friends like good music- and when it comes to live music, no one does it better than Whitney!

You get a gorgeous Whitney, in the best voice of her life, so poised, audience adoring her, doing great songs, for 11 minutes! I wish Arista/BMG (with AMA's permission, I guess) would find a way to release it on DVD, or as a high-quality download that you can watch full-screen.

I love that SHE knows that she is killin it. Another, not so talked about, performance I adore is "Song for You" from WHH. She just sits there and KILLS that song.

When Whitney knows she is singing her tail off, you can't tell that heffa nothing. It's effortless beauty and power rolled up into the best and badest diva ever!
