It is so difrficult to sing in these arenas because your voice will bounce off the stadium and come back to you while you have just finished a word and you're on to the next word and the next note. They key is to sing slowly. And, the planes weren't there yet, so Donna held out the note... because she can... but, once the planes pass, you get drowned out by the roar of the engines. I love her. She has an incredible voice.

Whitney wasn't sung with a backing track, it was 100% lipsynch, including the music Donna has recorded all her 'disco' albums in one take except 1 song, Macarthur park which needed 2 or 3 takes because of the difficulty of it. Not only did she record it one take, she often made the song up while recording. Donna was a vocal chameleon who never sang to impress. She used her many different voices for charachters but didn't oversing, like this anthem. she could easily hold the note 10 seconds longer and do some Mariah runs. She's just not that singer. There are a lot of amazing singers, But Whitney and Donna should always be mentioned in the same breath. Even Whitney would agree to that
