Houston's live performances over the last year for Good Morning America, the Oprah Winfrey Show, and her "Nothing But Love" world tour were all criticized for her disappointing vocals. Her years of drug abuse had apparently ruined her voice beyond repair.
But Houston wowed the "Celebration Of Gospel" audience with a remarkable performance. She connected with the song's R. Kelly-penned lyrics that pay homage to a trusted support system. But her voice sounded much stronger than it has recently.
Houston didn't sing any bad notes during this set taped in December in Los Angeles. She nicely handled some signature rifts, even dipping into a crisp falsetto. She didn't sound as strong as she did in the '80s and '90s, but she was great, considering her pitfalls.
Maybe this is a sign that she should record a gospel album next.
An encore of "Celebration Of Gospel" airs Thursday, February 3 at 8 p.m. eastern/7 p.m. central.
Whitney is about to start snatching wigs again and she has the receipt to back it up!!
Burrell opened the song alone before Houston accompanied her on the stage. It was a risky move for Houston to sing a duet with one of the genre's strongest voices.

Seriously, what are you talking about? Nothing is showing up. I want to see the glory of Whitney's voice! :(
ilu tho
So I trolled the place the whole night and kept putting on "I Will Always Love You" back to back to back. I enjoyed everyone getting pissed off after only the 2nd time hearing it.
tina turner can still outsing the fuck out of most people and she is like 94.
Kim seems to be doing the heavy lifting though.

KIM BURRELL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> YOUR FAVES.
No matter who your favs are, they couldn't touch Whitney and Mimi in the 90s.
are these people chaste or something?
Charice= wannabe Whitney/Mariah/Aretha
good luck...
I feel like she makes it worse with the hand movements...like you see her arm waving around and expect some enormous note to come out of her since she's working so hard, and then it's just a normal note...
