Thanks to the power of youtube, I finally got the chance to see the full making of 'I Learned from the Best' video. While it is not my favorite Whitney video, watching this made me appreciate it, all the work and the hours that went into this.

I only wish it was done during the iPhone age, and if one of the 'extras' (that ended up spending HOURS with Whitney, for which Whitney thanked them, please! they should thank her) had it on video, wouldn't it be awsome?

I never knew that Whitney did an IMPROPTU LIVE performance of that song as a thank you to the extras, who genuinely went into full applause and standing ovation... They showed us a 15 second clip in which she is doing all the vocal adlibs on top of the record... Whoa!

I wish I was an extra!

I watched it a couple of days back! I've always loved the video, just coz of her Diva presence and her expressions, which I love! Whitney looked gorgeous in that afro!! <3

First time I've seen this. Thank You!

Really nice. Her Voice was so powerful and on FIRE... It's like a supernova or something... Wished the song could have performed better on charts. If Whitney's voice could at least be back on that state it would still be a blast today.

It's because Whitney was performing a concert there on her tour.
