Whitney Houston performs a live version of “Do You Hear What I Hear” on the Jay Leno Show to spread holiday pleasure. Many attempts have been made to recreate this song, which was first released in 1962, but few can compare to the beauty of this famous holiday harmony from one of the greatest singers of all time.

When you witness Whitney Houston’s stage presence and power in person, you can plainly see why she is considered a legend. Her clean tone rises above the song to steal the show as she harmonizes with the background chorus, bringing joy and emotion. It’s no surprise that the onlookers erupted in applause.

There aren’t many artists that can put so much energy into a live performance with only a little stage and a good gospel choir. Whitney Houston’s rendition elevates “Do You Hear What I Hear” in every way. It’s a holiday treat that people look forward to year after year, and it’s gone down in history as one of the best.
