The videography of American pop/R&B recording artist Whitney Houston consists of fifty-five music videos, four music video compilations, a concert tour video and three music video singles. In 1983, Houston signed a recording contract with Arista Records and two years after released her eponymous debut album. Houston's first music video was for the single "You Give Good Love," which was selected to establish her in the black marketplace first.[1] In the video of worldwide hit "Saving All My Love for You," she played a beaming All-American girl shadowed by her secret lover's wife. The following video "How Will I Know," directed by Brian Grant, that helped introduce the singer to a wider audience when it became one of the first videos by a black female singer to earn heavy rotation on MTV, blasting open the doors for a whole generation of R&B and pop divas to follow.[2][3][4] The clip won MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video at its 3rd ceremony of 1986. "Greatest Love of All," the final single released from Houston's debut album, which helped cement the M.O. for the classic Whitney video.[3] In June 1986, Houston released her first video compilation The No. 1 Video Hits, containing her four music videos off the Whitney Houston album. The video compilation reached number-one on the Billboard Top Music Videocassettes chart and stayed at the top spot for 22 weeks, which remains the all-time record for a video collection by a female artist, and was certified Platinum for shipments of 100,000 units by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on July 15, 1986. In 1987, "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)," the first single from her second album Whitney, was one of Houston's most recognized music videos in company with the song's smash hit worldwide. Houston's fashion and hairstyle in the clip―towering curly wig, colorful dangly earrings and a series of going-to-the-club outfits―became one of her iconic looks.

In November 1990, Houston released her third studio album I'm Your Baby Tonight. The video for the title track from the album, was what passed for a high-concept clip from Houston, in which she paid tribute to three different legends in film and music industries: Marlene Dietrich, The Supremes and Audrey Hepburn. On January 27, 1991, Houston, wearing a white tracksuit with a red and blue print and matching athletic headband, performed "The Star Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XXV, held at the Tampa Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Due to overwhelming response to her rendition, the performance was released as a video single, which was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA in April 1991. Such Houston's patriotism-boosting-performance for the national anthem led her to give Welcome Home Heroes with Whitney Houston concert, which was for the troops, their families, and military and government dignitaries in honor of those returning from the Gulf War.[5] The concert was released as a VHS (later also LD and DVD) in the same year and it was certified Gold for shipments of 50,000 units by the RIAA. Though Houston is acknowledged as one of the best live performers, up to date, the live footage is her only full-concert video that has been issued officially in the United States.

"I Will Always Love You," one of Houston's iconic videos, was the clip for the lead single off the soundtrack for Houston's 1992 film debut The Bodyguard. In the video, directed by Nick Brandt, the camera focused on an elegantly suited up, forlorn-looking Houston sitting in an empty theater and staring into the distance as she watched clips from the movie scroll by. Houston blasted into the song's towering finale via a quick zoom to her face, eyes closed, and then popping open as she hit the high notes. The idea and the camerawork helped Houston to deliver perfectly the titanically tear-jerking drama of the song.[3] Her other notable video from The Bodyguard Soundtrack, "Queen of the Night," featured Houston performing the song in a club dressed in a metallic costume, which were inspired by scenes from Fritz Lang's 1927 silent film Metropolice. After Houston contributed to her songs on the soundtracks for two films, in which she also starred, Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996), she teamed up with Mariah Carey in the video for "When You Believe" from The Prince of Egypt Soundtrack. In November 1998, Houston came back to pop music full-time with My Love Is Your Love, which returned her to her heavy rotation ways. The singles from the album, "Heartbreak Hotel," "It's Not Right But It's Okay," and "My Love Is Your Love," were all US top 5 hits, and Houston was also once again embraced by MTV thanks to her willingness to let her style and approach evolve in her music and the videos.[6] During that time, most of her music videos were directed by Kevin Bray.

Houston began the 2000s with her first greatest hits compilation, Whitney: The Greatest Hits, which spawned three then new videos including two for the duet songs that she collaborated with Enrique Iglesias on "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" and George Michael on "If I Told You That." The accompanying video/DVD of the same title was also released at the same time, which contained Houston's promotional videos from 1985 to 1999 and several hard-to-find live performances including her 1983 TV debut on The Merv Griffin Show. In December 2002, Houston released her fifth studio album, Just Whitney.... Two music videos from the album, "Whatchulookinat" and "Try It on My Own", were considered her answers to the media for getting too deep into her personal life and to malicious rumours surrounding then her public image. In the former video, she confronted the issues with a white set with an overhead camera and mirrors on its walls, following and reflecting Houston's every move. In the latter, did with the storyline strongly reminiscent of her high-profile firing by Burt Bacharach from the 2000 Academy Awards ceremony for not singing "Over the Rainbow" during rehearsals for the show. In August 2009, Houston returned to the music scene with her fourth Billboard 200 number-one album, I Look to You, which yielded "Million Dollar Bill" and "I Look to You" videos.

Most of Houston's notable videos involve just a bit of perfunctory storyline and focus on her performance, however, several sources recognized her as one of pioneers who laid the groundwork and broke down barriers with the videos during her generation. In 2003, VH1 ranked Houston at number three on the list of '50 Greatest Women of the Video Era'.[7] In February 2012, TIME, on a photo article in honor of Black History Month, listed her as one of '50 Cultural Giants'.[8] Gil Kaufman from MTV News said that "[Houston] proved you could make a fuss without making a spectacle," and added his view on Houston's legacy as follows:

The legendary R&B singer[Houston] became one of the most important artists of the early music-video era by taking the road less traveled. [...] While such fellow trailblazers as Michael Jackson and Madonna created video fantasy worlds full of monsters, gangsters, street-fighting men and naughty brides, Houston mostly skipped the drama and stood front and center in her most iconic clips doing the thing that she did best: singing her heart out.[3]
