A new Whitney Houston biopic pays tribute to the singer's show tune medley performed at the 1994 AMAs
Didn’t We Almost Have It All: In Defense of Whitney Houston
“So much of our love of this particular performance is rooted in the technical feat that is her singing 10 minutes of ballads live on an awards show,” Kennedy tells TIME. “These are three very hard songs to sing, technically and individually, but she does them back to back. It’s just one of those performances that is absolutely out of this world and you think, Whitney is this technical master of a vocalist.
“The first thing that struck me about it is the athleticism of her singing,” Mall tells TIME. “She’s singing this medley nonstop—it’s almost 10 minutes long, it’s three songs in a row, all of which go through a huge vocal range and there’s a lot of vocal color and interpretation.”Like Kennedy, Mall also points to Houston’s live performance of the medley as an indicator of her outsized musical gift, especially given the circumstances of her life in that moment.
