Nino 12 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 We live in a culture that fetishizes the past so nobody will admit it for another 20 years but it's true. I'm positive that in Whitney's time people were whining that some older singer was better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Gaga outdid her. No, they won't. It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitney's vocals were pre-recorded and she lip-synced to it. 5 minutes ago, Morphine Prince said: Maybe best live.... but Whitney's was the "best" 6 minutes ago, Wenli said: Not quite. We can agree to disagree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannaeDrive 3,412 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 No disrespect to Ms Houston, but Gaga showed so much vocal control and at the same time enough restrain while giving the right emotions to that song, she didn't make it a diva show. And it was a live performance.. "Fame Is A Boomerang" - Maria Callas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga did a great job, but Whitney's was amazing not only because of her voice (despite it being live or not), but also because it occurred right after the 9/11 attacks. It was a historical and patriotic moment for all Americans. Its disrepsectful to say that Gaga's was better. And that is my honest opinion. Whitney's was 25 years ago.. 9/11 happened in 2001, which is 15 years ago. I don't have a Diamond Heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino 12 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The way pop culture works is usualy that when we get a new generation of celebrities everyone will beg to have their old favorites back. While everyone's still hung up on their old favs the new generation is busy planting the seeds for their legacy which never get realized untill somebody even newer comes along. Nothing has ever been instantly iconic for this reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceGaga 7,585 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm not sure about outdoing Whitney I'd say Gaga was a very close second. However!!! Isn't it amazing that in the eyes of the gp, Gaga is actually up there with Whitney Houston??!!!! That is so amazing by itself. The fact that she is even being compared to Whitney is a huge achievement. Especially for her my god. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewels n Drugs 4,629 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 no shade but Whitney did a great job but her version never does anything for me tbh. My faves have always been Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey, and now Gaga. oh look when you werent looking my motorcycle turned into a piano Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illuminati 15,921 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 In terms of vocals Gaga's was better but Whitney's version had a great impact, it was even released as a single.. and then re released again to help people cope with 9/11 tragedy. It's hard to outdo that and I don't think Gaga even intended to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
