In this video, Ricky Minor — who served as Whitney Houston’s music director on tour — explained why Whitney rarely performed “Run to You” live. The song was one of her most emotional and vocally demanding ballads, making it difficult to perform regularly during concerts and long tours.

"During the concert in Cape Town, Whitney wore a stunning red version of her jacket and bodysuit, unlike the purple outfit she wore during the Durban and Johannesburg shows".

I really wish audio from this concert existed. According to Pat Houston, this date was never recorded. It also marked the final show of The Bodyguard Tour after an incredible 120 dates around the world.

Whitney Houston’s Greatest Hits was released almost 16 years ago on May 15, 2000. ✨

What is your favorite song from Whitney Houston’s greatest hits collection? Do you like the four singles that were released from the album?

The collection featured four new songs at the time: • “Same Script, Different Cast” • “Fine” • “Could I Have This Kiss Forever” • “If I Told You That”

It also included classic hits, remixes, “One Moment in Time,” and Whitney’s unforgettable performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” 🇺🇸🎤

Demetria McKinney portrayed Whitney Houston in the 2017 biopic about Whitney’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. The television film aired on TV One and explored the life and legacy of Bobbi Kristina and her famous family.

The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban)

November 8, 2024

Does anyone have the CD or vinyl version of the Durban concert?

I read that the vinyl edition only includes 13 tracks and is missing “Love Is” (studio version), while the CD version includes it. The digital edition apparently has the complete set list.

Right now, I’ve been listening to it through my YouTube Premium subscription.

Do you love the Durban show more than the Johannesburg show from the HBO special? 🎥

In December 1991, while in the midst of filming The Bodyguard, Whitney Houston made a special appearance at the Billboard Music Awards to accept four honors. She also delivered a standout medley performance featuring “Love Man,” “Oh, Where Can He Be,” and “All the Man That I Need.”

Her awards included:

🏆Top R&B Artist

🏆Top R&B Album (I’m Your Baby Tonight)

🏆Top R&B Album Artist

🏆Top R&B Singles Artist

new clip of whitney just got posted and people are saying she was a high soprano up until 1990. What’s you guy’s opinion on it?

Danyl later said that Whitney "absolutely hated him".

I absolutely love this song by Whitney Houston. I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) is pure joy—one of those timeless tracks that instantly lifts your mood and gets you moving. To me, it’s the definition of a summer hit.

Released on May 2, 1987, as the lead single from her sophomore album Whitney.

I’ve always felt like her Moment of Truth World Tour could’ve easily been named the I Wanna Dance with Somebody World Tour.

• Welcome Home Heroes (1991)
• This is My Life (1992)
• A Concert for a New South Africa: Johannesburg and Durban (1994)
• Classic Whitney (1997)

What are your thoughts on this ballad? Originally recorded by Linda Clifford, Whitney Houston took this song and made it her own. Her powerful vocal delivery elevated it into a timeless classic. The single went on to achieve Platinum certification, selling over 1,000,000 copies.
