In your opinion, WHICH SONG contains the GREATEST vocal moment EVER? - That is, in the history of recorded music.

Only studio versions are accepted as responses. No live renditions, slayful as they may be.

Be sure to include the artist's name in your response, and provide a link to a video or stream of the song if possible.

In my own opinion, the greatest vocal moment in the history of recorded music is Whitney Houston's last vocal run in "All The Man That I Need" after 03:35. Words CANNOT DESCRIBE that magical moment.



Discuss and keep it cute.

the entirety of mariahs emotions

Whitney's 'IT TURNS OUT ...YOU WERE MAKING A FOOOHOOOHOOL OF ME OHHHH' in It's Not Right But It's Okay

Her delivery here

There are 145 members browsing the Base section alone, I refuse to let this potentially interesting and enlightening thread flop to the pits.

EDIT: Oh I see I got a few replies hey guys

I agree with your choice. I could listen to Whitney do those runs all day.

also Aretha & Whitney's parts together in It Isn't It Wasn't It Ain't Never Gonna Be.

and Mariah's Emotions for sure

This song, especially from 5:40... and you have yet to hear someone on Earth who does vocals like her at 6:12, 6:19 & 6:24...

and the ending harmonies (is that the right term?) of Lady Marmalade

Whitney's performance of Greatest Love of All at Arista's 15th in 1990 is one of the greatest vocal moments EVER!!!

Also Aretha's Dr.Feelgood is Amsterdam 1968

Mariah's Emotions comes to mind first but I am not really sure..

I'm always a sucker for the beginning of the final chorus in Whitney's I Will Always Love You.

Only studio version right?

Phyllis Hyman

2:30 to the end.. nothing will ever come close

Yesssss Lalah!!!
