Whitney Houston was really the GOAT

[DEAD7]

It’s sad that it took their deaths for the change in perspective, but it’s great to see how much Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, & Amy Winehouse’s reputations have become more based on their artistry than tabloid fodder.

Also, Whitney & Natalie Cole have the best rendition of “I Say a Little Prayer” and that’s not an easy accomplishment.

I heard Dolly's version for the 1st time last week

And although not terrible at all, Whitney just took that song to a level no other person could not ever will.

Funny part about the 2 songs is the "bittersweet memories part"

Dolly talked that part, but Whitney sang it

Me and my wife had a debate between who was the better singer between Whitney and Patti Labelle. I was like "you serious?!?!"

Whitney 10 out of 10 times

And I like Patti

Whitney
Mariah
Aretha

3 powerful voices

I could flip flop Mariah and Aretha if I go back and refresh myself on Aretha.

I remember my mom listening to all 3 when I was a kid.

Early Mariah is

she's in my top 5 DOA R&B singers of all time - - EASY, no quesitons

Greatest voice ever. There’s a group of singers on that Goddess level of voices…her, Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Stephanie Mills and a few others…Whitney is the head of that group.

She really was


Al Sharpton for calling her Whitey Houston because she knew how to annunciate when she sings

I remember making a thread like this and people arguing the point.

Is Whitney the greatest female singer of all time?

Been listening to her hits and not only does it make me feel that way but also that we're unlikely to see such a talent put it together like that again. I guess the modern star of that level is Beyonce. Well no hate but Beyonce isn't even close to Whitney's level as a singer or in terms of...

To me i feel like Whitney reached the highest highs in her career but she didn't have the longevity of Aretha
