Whitney Houston & Kelly Clarkson


For the last couple of days, I have been listening to live performances of Whitney Houston & Kelly Clarkson. While I listen to these women sing, it sends chills up my spine. At times I shed a few tears because their voices are so beautiful. Their voices are definitely a gift from GOD. As a result, I figured I would share a few of my favorites and explain why these two are in my 10 singers of all time.

Starting with Whitney Houston, she is considered "THE VOICE". During the 1985-1995, her voice could not be matched. After 1995, Whitney took advantage of her gift and GOD took it away from her. In 2009, Whitney came back with her new album, which was very successful but her live performances were not the reason for her being considered "THE VOICE". But thank you for www.youtube.com, you can go there to her some of Whitney's best performances.

Favorite Whitney Houston Live Performances:

5. SAVING ALL MY LOVE FOR YOU ON THE IM YOUR BABY TONIGHT TOUR
    During this performance, she turns soul-pop jam into a jazzy number. She does it so
    effortlessly with runs and all. The background vocalists makes the performance so 
    much better, its better than the original version to me.

4. YOU GIVE GOOD LOVE LIVE ON JOHNNY CARSON
    During this performance she slow mid tempo jam down with her and the piano. She gets
    you from the 2:00 point until the end of the video. Her voice sounds so smooth and clear,
    she makes you feel what love is on this on. CHECK IT OUT!

3. PORGY, AND I'M TELLING YOU, I HAVE NOTHING AT THE 1994 AMA
    During this performance she showed the world why she was the artist of the year for 1992
    - 1994. She killed this performance and looked good doing it. Her band was on point with
    her voice anything was just going her way that night. She won 8 awards and had the best
    performance of the night. SPEECHLESS

2. ALL THE MAN I NEED ON ARSENIO HALL SHOW
    This is my favorite Whitney Houston song, with this she shows me why. You can feel
    she was singing to a then ex-husband Bobby Brown. Whitney has feeling this performance
    from beginning to end. CHECK FOR YOURSELF!!!

1. THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL AT ARISTA'S 15TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY
    My opinion this is Whitney's best performance ever. Her voice and everything is just
    flawless. NO WORDS LEFT, JUST WATCH!!
    
ON TO KELLY!!!
Kelly Clarkson is the first winner of American Idol. In my opinion, she is the best idol. Kelly's voice she can sing any type of music from country to gospel. During the her season of American Idol I had her going to the finals, but I thought Tamyra Gray was going to win. But Kelly definitely proved why she is the best with her live performances. Kelly is still out so she still have time to make more great performances, but these are my favorites.

Favorite Kelly Clarkson Peformances:

5. MISS INDEPENDENT LIVE ON AOL
    During this performance, she turned a pop song into a rock song. Her vocals on this
    is flawless. This was actually the first performance that made to really started me to 
    like her more than I did on idol, because she really made this song hers. WATCH

4. HEAR ME LIVE ON ROLLING STONE
    This is my favorite song from Kelly. This performance she sounds on good. She sounds 
    just like the song. LISTEN

    During this performance, I can feel her through my soul. She sounds so soulful, everytime
    I listen to this performance I just close my eyes and listen. TRY IT!!!

2. BREAKAWAY LIVE ON VH1 UNPLUGGED
    This Breakaway album was that cd I listened to when I finally left home for college. I
    listened to this album because I was breaking away from my shelter up bringing. This
    was the album that helped me through this life changed. But this performance of 
    Breakaway is the best. She makes me feel so good, I sing along everytime I hear it, 
    I try to listen to hit every hit too. CHECK IT OUT

1. UP TO THE MOUNTAIN LIVE ON IDOL GIVES BACK
    This is my best Kelly Clarkson performance in my opinion. She takes this song to church.
    She she makes me cry. She sings with so emotion. SPEECHLESS
    

Now if you don't feel anything from these performances something is wrong.
