![I Will Always Love You (LIVE in 2020) [Whitney Houston/Dolly Parton Cover] by Josh Weathers](/img/1.gif)
All these years and this is still the most amazing and underrated cover ever made. 😩
I can claim about 2.2 million of the 2.8 million views on this video.
@@Smudded good luck on beating me on those views brother!! Lol! Have you had the opportunity to see him live? Phenomenal!!!
Think too, the popularity and reach of RUclips was a tiny fraction that it is now. I’d say, this should get another run.
100%
I wouldn’t say underrated almost a decade later and homie is still jamming out to this song.
8 years later this is still the best fucking live cover of a song that has ever been filmed
@Eric Sanders Fucking yeahhhhhhhhh fuckinnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yup. i still watch it once a month
Easilly!!!! Theres a woman with her tits out that doesnt even attempt the higher part, she has 4 times the likes as josh here though......ftw
Absofuckinglutley
This is THE reason for recorded music.
Imagine rocking up to karaoke night with this performance in your back pocket
My immediate thought. Have heard only two people do this well in the 15 years I've semi-regularly gone to karaoke shows. They both burned the goddamn house down, and still probably paled in comparison to this dude. Unreal.
I often visualize this as a way to fall asleep at night haha
If you could change the key then yeah. It's transposed bitch. Still impressive
I do it on occasion and it always gets a standing ovation... nobody expects it from a guy
Oh I do. Every time. Imagine doing it. I can do a fair amount of it, but my falsetto only goes so far. That song is so far beyond me.
I watch this video when I haven’t had goosebumps in a while and I need that feeling.
I love how the crowd gradually falls silent and actually listens
That's the most amazing thing about this video. If you've ever booked or thrown shows before it is almost impossibly rare to shut up a bar audience. I've seen it happen before but this one is magical.
Totally agree. I’ve watched this like 100 times over the years and I love how by half way through the first verse all the laughing and chatting has stopped.
I still feel like they didn’t fully appreciate what they were witnessing. That’s the booze I guess.
This is the sort of person who should be famous. Amazing voice, clearly musically gifted and very charming. So much more deserving of it than any of the popstars around today.
Wish I could like this comment a million times
Even though it's been 10 years since you commented, things are happening!! July 17, 2024 he's playing his 1st gig in Nashville!! We're coming from all over to see him! Reserved tables are already sold out!!
I still come back to this video more than a decade later because it is simply the best cover ever made.
Up to this day, this cover is one of the most criminally underrated ever! Period.
My band and I have played multiple shows with Josh. His band has so much energy and always kept the crowd moving, but this was always my favorite part of the night. It's so cool to see this video going viral because I always thought more people should see this man sing and now he's in front of hundreds of thousands!
2.7 million views ten tears later :)
no you didnt
@@naruii5160shut up 😂
My ovaries just exploded. And I'm a man. Kudos.
🤣😂🤣😂
I’ve been listening to this for 12 years and I swear I still cry every time he says “That’s for Mama” 🥹😭
I am a long time voice / guitar / piano teacher. I show this video when my voice students & I start talking about how to "place your voice" and how to "manipulate tone". How to be "emotional" with your technique. Josh is the MASTER at this. We analyze every line. We listen to his tone, his resonance, the breathiness, when he pulls his tone back in his throat, when he gets nasal. We take note of his vibrato & how he uses it effortlessly. His phrasing too !!! We watch his mouth, neck & body. We also watch how he "works the audience" and adds humor & story to the performance. There is so much to learn from studying this man's beautiful voice & his mastery of his vocal instrument. FANTASTIC !!!
MUSIKRant Productions stop talking shit, he is a gospel singer of 20+ years experience, maybe if you talked less and practiced more you would be doing as he does instead of teaching ? Gobshite.
Maybe if you commented less and shut up more the internet would be a better place. Gobshite indeed. * edit: dammit you got me.
@@fistingendakenny8781 pretty dumb comment. So NFL coaches cant teach football because they cant play as well as the players? Teaching is one thing. Doing is another. He is simply commenting the man. Im sure you know nothing about it. So I suggest you keep your talent less voice shut. That being said... MUSIKRant Productions
I completely agree with your assessment.
fistingendakenny I want you on the other side of the wall
Josh is very masterful with his instrument. Have had the pleasure of seeing his live shows about 13 years now, I'm one lucky gal!
This is a singer. No freaking auto-tune to make this so incredible and just perfect.
You can follow him on Josh Weathers Music on FB.
Every once in awhile I come back and check this song out. Still blows my mind every time.
Thank God for Mama's Chevy Lumina and that cassette tape!
There is "hitting notes" of a song and there is "hitting the soul" of a song, and this hits both. An absolute must for any Whitney cover. BRAVO
VERY well said!
My mom passed in December. First time that song has ever meant anything to me.
Thank you Josh.
I played this for my uncle Bill (UB) on 8/22/22 at 12:22pm, as he passed at 79yrs old.
He loved Waylon Jennings and Dolly Parton. No matter how old, this performance is still relevant to all, on many significant levels.
🔥🤘🏼🤙🏼✌🏼🖤
This gives me feelings I don't understand but am very comfortable with.
Agree
Fucking nailed it.
I liked this years ago while watching it on repeat. And, well, here we are close to the end of 2022. This would win any singing talent show on TV hands down. 🎉🎉
I've lost count on how many times I've watched it. 200? 250? His albums are great too.
Josh has said he played this for the judges at American idol they said ( in a British accent lol ) nawt this yeaah
this needs a lot lot lot lot lot more views
This man took a world wide hit and literally made it his own. He made me feel like it was my first time listening to this song. His emotions played into this song differ so greatly than the original. Whitney will always be queen but this man… this man right here… did this song more than justice. Mad respect. You broke my heart singing this song and I will forever give you my respect. Much love. Keep being you!
Whitney isn't the original though. Whitney covered the song, but it was written and originally sung by Dolly Parton.
This is actually a Dolly Parton song, she released it in the early 70's and it was a hit for her. Of course then Whitney used it for The Bodyguard and we all know what happened. Dolly probably built Dollywood with the royalties.
This song has taken Josh all over the world. He's played it for President's, Ambassadors, all kinds of things and he plays it every live performance he does!! I love hearing Josh sing it, it has brought him so many fans and followers, still does to this day. I've been a fan/follower for 19 years and counting. He's been blowing up social media doing country, he is a country boy from Texas after all and I predict he's fixing to blow up everywhere! He has his 1st Nashville gig July 17th and this Texas girl is going to be there! Keep your eyes open, I believe Josh Weathers is fixing to SOAR!!!
Jesus!!! Thats a crazy vocal to conquer as a female..... As a man its insane! Cant believe he pulled it off! Amazing voice
First time hearing this version and I must admit I've been deprived for years. Go head then white boy!
time to throw on the old sweater. this dude just gave me the chills
damn he got pipes, holy shit he can sing
I do agree
2021 anyone else?
God damn, I wish I could sing like that for my mom.
The crowd actually let him sing, awesome job crowd!
Kerry Bossak They tried to not, with the hoots and hollers at the beginning, then he had them eating out of his hand for the rest.
That guitar really reminded me of Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah- until the pipes kicked in. Wow, this dude sing😲
That's the underrated (and not talked about enough) part of this video is the guitar playing & dynamics he brings to the guitar are near perfection for how he's singing. Just an amazing "arrangement". He's a beast!
Played this at my husband's celebration of life. Beautiful beautiful soulful song
Was NOT expecting him to do the key change! 😱😭❤️👏🏼
Oh, I was!!! And I knew he was gonna nail it! Nobody even attempts this song unless they know they can blow it away! I just wish I could have heard it live. Probably would have been on the floor rolling around like a blubbering baby!!!
He sounds so good 😧
That's not a key change, that's falsetto.
The BEST key change in any song ever. Fight me.
@@bradlewis2349 he literally does a key change. At 4:45, to be exact.
I get chills EVERY time I watch this & it kicks into overdrive at the 4:20 mark give or take. Unreal. The control is sick. And NOBODY talks about the dynamics and control he displays on guitar either. It's a perfect fit.
Authentic
Man I wish I could sing like this!!! Unreal…. Best cover ever
I don't know what is more magical Josh's voice or that guitar!!!
Hey! is January 2019 and some times I still pass by here to listen this gem.
I’m a dude and I’m officially pregnant 🎉
He has my favorite voice of any human ever it just hits me this was the song my wife and I danced to this version she has been gone 3 years now and this song is the happiest and saddest part of my day thank you Josh for the greatest day and memory of my life
This song and performance goes up there alongside Joe Cocker 1969 Little Help with my Friends at Woodstock. Lives changed
2022 still the best fucking song cover ever recorded
I watch this when I need to feel my feelings. Mind blowing
My son works for Sony music in New York and made sure Clive Davis, the producer of the original Whitney version saw it.
Did he tell you how Clive Davis reacted?
Yeah we want to know how Clive Davis reacted!! As someone who has followed Josh long before this video was recorded, I'm particularly interested!
ok
This guy needs to run for president
Speechless.. Someone give this man a respectable and lucrative record deal so he can keep making some real music.. Something the music industry itself is in dire need of..
Still after all the years. This is one of a kind!
Holy shit, that was the best cover I've heard. Dude.
Who’s regularly coming back for another hit is this beautiful perfection?
Even joking around at the beginning his voice was amazing.
Yeah... that should have been the first clue. lol. As a musician, my favorite part of this video is showing it to other musician friends who haven't seen it and just watching their reaction. Chills every time.
We were lucky enough to stumble into a bar where this dude was playing a few years back. I've seen a lot of bar talent... he was the best I'd seen then, and the best I've seen since. And so humble too. Well done Josh.
Been watching this for years. Still love it
First time hearing this... Absolutely amazing!!!
The quietness & enjoyment of the audience is the ultimate respect for The Voice, who's without an equal in quality or extent; matchless. Undeniably, The GOAT,
Ms. Whitney Houston.
I've never get tired of this. TRULY AWESOME TALENT!
Everybody pregnant…. Everybody.,,
still here December 2022
This is an event. Like watching Evel Knievel jump the snake canyon. I'm happy I am alive to hear this. Incredible.
I was just fortunate enough to see him play live out of the country fest in Mexico he is absolutely mind blowing good. He blew the headliners out of the water I hope he goes far this is real talent
Qué??? Tocó en México?? Cuándo??? Dónde???
@@RicardoOtero caca
This left me snot bubble crying! Well done sir.
I have adhd and I dooo noooot listen to songs start to finish…. I DO NOT SKIP ONE SECOND OF THIS!!!!
and everyone there simultaneously came when he sang "and I wish you joy"
🤣🤣✋🤣
I’m actually just met him in the hotel lobby and his voice is out standing !!!💕
My mom loved 'The Bodyguard' as well and loved this song. She just passed last week, so this song is giving me all the feels. I'm not crying, you're crying!
Rest In Peace Your Mom! Stay strong! ❤
God bless you. I will say a prayer for you and your family, for peace and comfort.
How am I just seeing this for the first time, Wow. Dam good job
Same
My little brother introduced me to Josh and this video we watched so many times. He passed but I keep watching this video and smile and laugh.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why Texas Music is so amazing... So many talented musicians in one place, from one place, playing hundreds of shows in between a couple of rivers to loyal fans every weekend. It's always so great when these guys get the respect they work so hard for, their tenacity is unmatched in my opinion. The irony is Texas music is known so much for the artists' songwriting, yet Josh, as well as many other Texas musicians, can display that same delivery through a cover... That is the talent ladies and gentlemen.
One of the best covers of any song ive heard. So much emotion
This video should have 2.9 BILLION views, and frankly the fact that it doesn't offends me.
Perfect. Beautiful.
One of The best cover in history
Best version I ever heard of this song. So soulful
Never expected that voice out of this man=Greatness
How could anyone not like this???
How this guy isn't signed is beyond me. Pure Mojo.
Heard you sing this at Inauguration 2017. Wow. What a voice you have. Chills.
Jackie Maw Tolliver That was arrangement freaking awesome! He is about to blow up.. Hello world here I am!
What a great job he did at covering one of the best songs, ever!
WHOA! Astounding.
This song is very emotional for me. It reflects a lot of my life and many others for sure. This is the only cover that makes me tear up. Every time damn time. Miss my love.
I have watched this so many times. And it still gives me goose bumps as the first time I’ve seen it. He has many renditions of this cover, but this is by far the best one. So damn talented, forever sharing this with friends.
Wow !!! Best male version I've ever seen. Incredible range from the start and then he modulates even higher at the last chorus. So talented!!!!
This having less than 100 million views is an absolute shame. SO many people have not had the pleasure of seeing this yet.
I agree! And yet Justin dumbass Bieber has like billions of views
Jesus, Mary and Joseph! THAT was the best thing on the internet in a very long time. Bravo! :-)
Holy mother of god! I dunno if I should laugh or cry or put my face down and my ass up lmao.
Good damn job bruh
One hand one heart
😂😂😂 brrruuuuuuuh hahahaha you killed me
In the same boat here lol
Lol
This comment is timeless. Written four years ago and had me crying today.
The silence that falls on the room can only be summoned by overwhelming talent. Still one of the best covers ever caught on film.
holy fucking god
A Cerulean State I know right, fuck it’s good
I hate how I can only like videos once! this deserves 7 million likes minimum!
His voice is ridiculously good.
Watched this for the first time in 2021, on a random balmy and humid Malaysian afternoon, and it's driving me to tears.
Please watch gabriel henrique covering i have nothing by Whitney Houston. HE SANG IT ON THE ORIGINAL KEY EVEN THOUGH HE IS A MALE. HE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!! TELL ME YOUR OPINION HERE ON THIS COMMENT PLEASE
I found this years ago and from time to time I listen to it 11 years later....just amazing
I've been watching this clip for around 3 years now, as I love covers, love to see new talent. I've watched hundreds of thousands clips and covers. I keep coming back to this one. It's just simply the most amazing thing I've ever heard. I have a Simon Cowell ear, and my wife argues with me, but I've always said, I think he did it better than Whitney did.
Carl Valentine I agree with you completely!
Well his rendition was all about subtlety and feel. While Whitney was more about showing how much of a natural powerhouse she was. Each have their appeal !
Pi the t did you listen all the way to 4:50?
Theres something about a song stripped down that is so appealing. This is an awesome version of this.
Have you heard #marcmartel ‘s version? It’s in more of a Jeff Buckley style.
You make me laugh and cry at the same time. This is so beautiful, lovely. What an honour to hear you sing 💖
Stumbled on this and ended up shedding tears. WTH? I came hear to see what this cover was all about and two minutes in emotional doors are being slammed open.
Thanks for the opportunity to feel.
so much emotion he put into this song, he loves his momma! SO DO I
Hope wherever plays has good insurance cause he makes all the ladies slide off their seats. Saw him live for the first time a few months back, he did this song and the place went silent in awe. Absolutely amazing vocals. Bought his shirt and CD, very very good.
im sliding... smirk
Incredible Range... He knows when to go all out... That was perfection
He is amazing. This reminds me of my son who no longer talks to me and who also is a singer. I raised him for his entire life and he chose to let something so petty and small get in between our bond of father and son. I hope one day he speaks to me again but if he doesnt I will always love him and want the best for him in his life. It's what I have always wanted for him was the best. I only hope one day he sees that. I love you son and miss you very much.
I feel ya bro!!! My son and I haven't spoken in a really long time and it kills me! I'm so glad I read these comments. I'm gonna send this to him and I hope he can see and hear what I do!!! Thank you!!!!
One of those songs I keep coming back to.
No auto tune. No big band with violins. No studio recording/mixing. Just hard-working talent!
This is by far the best cover of this song. PHENOMENAL and breathtaking.
Dude is absolutely AMAZING!
I listen to you on my way to work! God bless
New job. Still do.
