l hate this song too. it is simply kpkb screaming disguise as singing.
dolly parton sang this song with a sweet demure style. kinda like a girl whispering gently into your ears.
WH sing the song like ooi CCB u better let me love u ok
Agree and well put. The original was an intimate, heartfelt lover's lullaby.
Whitney Houston was nothing great to me. My idea of a good female vocalist is someone like Diana Ross, Karen Carpenter or Olivia Newton-John.
WH was overrated because she was overhyped commercially by the return of containerized music when record companies chose the songwriters and the singers and backed their choices with promotion campaigns to dictate public taste. That's back to the 50s, the era of Tin Pan Alley when record companies reigned supreme over control of what the public got to listen to and decided the fate of songwriters and singers. Elvis Presley started the revolution that he wanted to participate in writing his own songs, at least co-write, or chose his own preferred songwriters and songs. Elvis was short-circuited halfway with conscription. By the time Elvis was discharged from the army, the record companies had wrestled all controls back again. Note the difference between Elvis songs in 50s and 60s.
Then the Beatles came on the scene and completed the revolution. They wrote and sung their own songs, including playing all instruments involved. They ushered in the golden rock era of 60s to 90s. The containerized music that record companies preferred was no match for the liberated creativity that was yielded.
Whatever it has been or it is, the death of WH or anyone talented or not, is a sad event for no man is an island, entire of itself. RIP.

Put any 2 world class black singers together or any 1 with Mariah Carey, and I GUARANTEE that they will butcher any song.
With all due respect to some of you, in my opinion Whitney Houston was a fantastic singer with a great vocal range. But, of course, one man's meat is another's poison.
I will miss the talent and the great songs, but I don't feel sorry for her coz she contributed to her lifestyle which ultimately caused her death. Same with MJ, Amy Winehouse, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, Jim Morrison etc etc. So many great talents. And I mean real talents, not some of the so called singers, who need computers to make their voice sound good.
The ones who I really feel sorry for are the ones who died of illness not caused by an excessive lifestyle, accidents, murdered etc etc
But still, RIP Whitney. Ill miss your talent.
