Wow! what a Voice. . . . . . . . . . .
Amazing. . Nobody Like Whitney. . Never Will Be,,
no no no stephanie put her stamp on this song there is no body like stephanie; whitney messed this song up from the very begining; this song belongs to stephanie; no body cn sing it like her
.
some ignorant people act as if she was the only person in the world who did crack or drugs or whatever u people call it. The crack is whack is getting really old. I wonder y people dont say nasty comments like that about faith, mary j and shaka khan etc. they all had problems. but, i still love em all.
WELL I Personally Feel That Whitney Did A WONDERFUL JOB!!. . . Aside From Whitney, Stephanie’s Is Good Too, But I Think Diana’s Version Is Better Than Stephanie. . Just My Opinion. . .
People need to leave Whitney alone about the whole “drug” and “crackney” thing. She doesn’t do it anymore. And like Whitney said at the BET awards “Judge not by your trials but by your triumphs” LEAVE HER ALONE! (:
Damn she was only 19. She sang this better then anyone i ever heard sing it.
@rjohson, GIRL YOU BETTER TALK THE THINGS! Nobody does it like Ms Mills. It was written for her!!!
messed it up??
@dm310as yeah messed it up as in fucked it up
Whitney didn’t mess it up now. Everything she touches tunrs to gold, HOWEVER this is Stephanie’s song and noboy cand o it like Ms. Mills. Not Diana Ross and Not Nippy. It’s just one of those songs that belong to a certain artist. Just like Nippy OWNS “I iwll always Love you” lol.
I hope u understand what I am saying and that I am in no way trying to diss Whitney. I love her dearly.
Just my opinion.
@beckiers your opinon is not correct. It’s not even an opinion.
It’s called an interpretation. I’m sure when you sing along to your favorite song, you sing it the way you hear it, because it’s impossible to imitate what you hear exactly. Musically speaking, her voice is clear, intonation is dead-on and it’s not over-sung. I enjoy this interpretation as well as that of anyone else who actually has a voice.
@rjohson: how?? she interpreted it, and for being so young, i really think she did a tremendous job. she gave a nice performance; well controlled, dynamic, and powerful without being overwhelming
@beckiers I agree this is Stephanie’s song I mean did you see her performance on Monique’s show.
@rjohson ???? you gotta be kidding
@ThaFlyestMoor72 compared to how stephanie sings it ; this song was messed up; for example when jennifer hudson song the song from dream girls “ans i im telling you” she song it better than the original but hear whitny does this song no justice
.
I agree Stephanie version was better but to imply that Whitney fucked up the song come on she sung it her way. As for Jennifer Hudson she did a great job but not better than Jennifer Holiday. I love both versions. I mean you have your opinion but fucked up the song I have to disagree
@ThaFlyestMoor72 your exaclyt right i was totally wrong about whitney she song this song beautifully; as for jenier hudson i thing she did a better jobi think she di
Okay You have a point Jennifer version could be considered better. I mean it was smoother, more jazzier. So I could go with the Jennifer version as being better. Hey I really enjoy these comments. Have a good day
@ThaFlyestMoor72 yes i enjoyed the comments also ; and im glad you r comments made me listen to the song again in its entirity; i feel stupid for even making such a bad comment about whitney
This is, bar none, the best version of this song I have ever heard and I saw The Wiz. live in the mid 70′s. . when Stephanie Mills first did this song on Broadway. . . Stephanie’s 80′s remake of the stage production was awesome as well. . . but back then it was important for singers to INTERPRET a song THEIR OWN Way. . . Stephanie did it her way. . . Barbara Streisand does it her way. . . Judy Garland did it her and Whitney did it her way. . .
Is an orange better than an apple? My God why people gotta compare?
You shouldn’t feel stupid listen Stephanie Mills is my favorite singer, so I understood your comment so hey you know It’s cool.
Whitney is way way better than anyone else when her rendition of Home. To deny her range and power especially in the middle to end is just foolish. Stephanie Mills wish she could hit those high notes as powerful and as clear. That resonance and power is amazing.
She has NOTHING on Stephanie Mills. Stephanie kicked the door in with this song. It’s HERS forever.
