In case the title is confusing, I mean «destroys» in the best way possible. My subs know I LOVE Kelly, and she nails every song. Or *destroys* them. I just wanted to try an ambiguous title to see what happened. Hope you still enjoy the video.
I agree with you completely. Before Kelly got her own show, I was always saying, God, that woman should have her own show. And she should start each episode doing someone else's song. The reason being that she's always been 1 of my most favorite singers & entertainers. And I wanted her to show everybody what I already intuitively knew she had in her. And that's to sing anything, as though it were her own handwritten song, & was a brand new song that's never been heard before. That's honestly how I've always felt about her music & could hear in voice every time she sang. Just amazing. Like my late sister with the same name, their name suited them both very well. They are "Warriors". They fight with all they got, & don't let anybody push them around. Don't take shit from nobody. Way to go, Kelly! :)
She has 1 of the best & most powerful voices out there. She's a Warrior like her name means, & will prove anybody wrong that says or thinks otherwise. Love it.
I can honestly say that Kelly's version of "I Will Always Love You" is the absolute best that I've ever heard! It was so powerful in it's simplicity and emotional delivery! Everyone says that Whitney was the best, but I thought she sang it too forcefully and it wasn't very smooth. Kelly's emotional and heartfelt delivery took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes. No other artist gets to me the way that Kelly Clarkson does. She is perfection! ❤
Amazing as usual Kelly! You’re talent is endless. Thank you Dolly for all your beautiful songs & choosing Kelly to sing this so perfectly respectful to you!
By far ive learned more about vocal techniques watching your videos than any other reaction videos. Your passion shows through! Keep it going you’re awesome!
I think this song, overall, is one of the few songs that can truly showcase vocal giftedness. Dolly's version is totally Dolly, but a lot of us didn't know what it was until Whitney. A voice, as an fine tuned instrument, shows, I believe a Divine talent, not to be wasted. Thanks for sharing, be well. From Elizabeth Illinois
Maybe you didn't I wouldn't say allot of people because Dolly did write it for the late Porter Wagoner. Whitney had to actually get Dolly's approval prior to releasing the song or wasn't allowed to record it. But either way Whitney made allot of money for Dolly with that song hence Everytime they play Whitney Houston version Dolly get royalties from it.
One thing about Kelly, she doesn’t skimp in her investment of her voice.She allows emotions. Her voice is gorgeous and I’m impressed. It takes a certain class to sing the way she does. I hope she remembers she’s a singer, most importantly. Hope she doesn’t neglect her gospel talent. She comes across as a sweet girl. Hope she stays that way.
So glad you’re feeling better!! Absolutely loved this reaction video. I’m a 40+ year old man and I had the goosebumps and some tears when I watched this performance on the night. So glad you liked it.
1st Glad you are doing better 2nd.... Been waiting and dying to hear and see your reaction on this performance. I'm no singer but I love Kelly Clarkson and love your videos. The emotion in her voice gets me every time.
I'm glad you are feeling better. And so happy you reacted to this, because I've been waiting for you to. Thank you, I agree with everything you said. All three versions are special.
Thank you, Andrea! :) So glad you liked it. And yes, I feel like that's a true testament to how good Dolly's songwriting is. The emotions can be conveyed and understood in different versions and vocal expressions. Thank you for watching
You should react to the one when she sang the dance for Garth Brooks. It was so beautiful. And made Garth tear up there. It was just so beautiful and emotional. It's my fave Garth song. ✨
This was simple, stripped down & to the point. Especially at the end, kelly kept it real simple. Whitney would stretch those moments, let the audience clap for her right before the big climax… she would do her vocal runs after vocal runs, she would wipe her whitney sweat off her face with her towels …. Kelly also has some balls by keeping it stripped down with piano and guitar. There was no full band to hide behind, theres no room for mistake or iffy off notes… her voice was front and center. That was ballsy. So many artists are scared of this song. The whitney version is one of the most well known one from the 90s, it is very difficult to not become a whitney lesser impersonator. Kelly was able to do it flawlessly to go in and out of both whitney and dolly’s versions plus putting her own spin. Job well done. If u want to hear kelly sang the whitney version, go watch thats my jam NBC with jimmy fallon when she battles ariana grande. She copied whitney note per note there and she did it in 1 breath. Either way kelly is the best live pop singer we have in this generation. Shes the real deal
Haha I love your description of how Whitney would do it, it's spot on. And 100% agree this was a brave move keeping it so stripped down. I have done a reaction to the "90s diva mixtape medley" with Kelly and Ari. It was so good, but it was nice hearing her do the full song here :). She is so amazing!
Wow, just wow. I love how she's made it her own by doing between Dolly's and Whitney Houston's versions. The little cracks and crys made it imperfectly perfect. I'm going to work through your videos. But (forgive me for not checking myself). I would love you to do a video on Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) "I remember you". Since leaving skid Row, seb has worked Broadway as well as his solo project. I think he has an amazing range. 👍
I really appreciate that she made her own version too. Thank you for watching, and thanks for the recommendation ☺️ Is that his real name? Haha I love it.
@@HegeOfficial Hi. Thanks for the reply. I think his birth name was Sebastian Bierk, but his stage name and I imagine his now legal name is Sebastian Bach (no doubt on purpose lol, he's a very confident person and would no doubt see himself as a musical maestro lol) . Skid Row had some great ballads and if someone takes the time to listen to the likes of "18 and life" & "I remember you". Are great lyricist. But I think it's true of so many rock bands. Guns n Roses with "November Rain" or "Don't Cry", Metallica with "Nothing Else Matter", Meatloaf (OK, Jim Steinman was the writer, but Meatloaf brought it to life}, with "For Crying Out Loud". In my opinion, one of the greatest love songs ever, if you read the lyrics. Anyhow, I'm babbling. Hope you are well now. 😁
I feel it is a respectful nod to two talented artist. Of course it is very much the sensitivity only Kelly can bring to the table. A wonderful complication of all three great performers.
Glad your well. Ty for this. I found it very brave to do this so stripped down. A piano and guitar? You have no place to hide if you run out of air or need to jump off a note. Hats off to do that song her way. No small feat with a song so well known. That Mic was clearly on.
Thank you so much ☺️ and oof, I get that. It really hit you in the chest, and I absolutely adore the parts where she let her voice crack to show emotion
Happy to have you back and feeling better. This performance of Kelly was absolutely beautiful. Also, I find what you’re saying is useful lol. I know very little about vocal techniques (not sure if that’s right) but I do learn a lot from your videos, so thank you.☺️
Thank you so much ☺️ I’m so glad you find it useful. Appreciate you watching! And oof, such a stunning performance, Kelly really made it her own while still honoring the original version. I truly appreciate all three (including Whitney here) versions each in their own way.
Thank you for doing this one. I knew you would love it. Very glad to see you're feeling better. I think you would also enjoy her doing Meaning of life (Nashville sessions version)
It baffles me how her Kellyokes don't have waaaay more views, she's so versatile and does a great selection of songs. But I feel like this is her year. It's coming :)
I was a little surprised because the title and then you clear the way. I'm not a professional but I'm agree that this is a version with a Kelly Touch. Thank you again. Stay healthy
Haha I like that you’re saying that, because I was experimenting to see how people would react to a «negative» title. But yes, the word «destroy» is meant 100% in the positive sense ☺️
Dolly came on stage after that choked up and gave her massive kudos and then did it again on KC's show. She literally said Whitney would be smiling down from heaven (paraphrase). Fun fact, they told her after she agreed to the Dolly tribute what the song would be and Kelly said she was like, "sorry nope." I am glad she did it, I was there, and live was just so intense and magical. It's my favorite cover ever of this song (Dolly originates, Whitney claimed it).
I wish that Linda Ronstadt's rendition of this song would not be skipped over or left out. She was the first I heard sing it and didnt know anyone else had ever sung it at that time. I held others to her high standard until I realised that so many other people have sung this song. I now havent heard a version I didnt like. Yes Kelly is amazing!
It’s a true testament to Dolly’s good songwriting that so many people can make their own beautiful versions of it 😊 Thank you for lifting Linda Ronstadt up without dragging other singers down. I’ve heard so many good things about her version, but I’m saving it for a possible reaction so I haven’t checked it out myself yet.
Oh I fully agree ☺️ there’s no need to compare the versions as each gives its own vibe and has vocals that suit the separate styles perfectly. I used the word mega hit for Whitney’s version because of the numbers, and how Dolly herself has said that was a great thing to happen for her song.
It's very clear that you know what you're talking about. When there was that tiny crack in her voice, it made the performance sound so much more real than if it had been completely perfect. She's singing about heartbreak, so of course that made it so much more realistic.
Hahaha! Nah, the face in my thumbnail is my "this is so good" face, and the word "destroy" is meant in the best way possible here :) like, she *DESTROYED* it! But I like that it made people click, haha.
At this point what can you say? As usual she makes me proud to have voted for her when she was on American Idol, a win that was extremely deserved. It was probably the only vote I ever cast where I got what I wanted out of it! 😂 Between her longevity and how she just keeps getting better and better, I couldn’t have really asked for more. She herself has always said that being emotional at times in a song is more important than being perfect. I can cut her some slack in that department, just as you did. She was actually scared to do this song. She had the task of singing it like Dolly since it was her song that she wrote and her tribute night, then incorporating Whitney AND try to make it her own. I think it was a good combination of the three options. Great reaction, hope you’re feeling better! 🤍🕊🤍
@@HegeOfficial yeah I don’t think you would be projecting on this occasion lol. Kelly said they asked her to do the tribute so she says “yes I love Dolly Parton!”, they say “ok cool, it’s I Will Always Love You” and she said “I’m sorry?! Um .. no!”. She decided to do it anyway but after it was over she said she slept really well lmao. Kelly doesn’t usually get nervous singing unless it’s something really important.. like singing for the Pope, singing at a Presidential Inauguration, national anthem at the Super Bowl, singing “I Will Always Love You” for a Dolly tribute lol. She tries not to make it super obvious. You called it right though!
Kelly Clarkson’s voice is just beautiful. The word I’m looking for here is, what, “gorgeous”?( I just don’t know...) She is a treasure...I’m a grown man but still affected by her
I love your commentary! Right on the money! Totally beside the point, and you look great for having been ill, bit I love the colour of your lipstick. What is it? Again, totally irrelevant to your commentary, which I enjoyed.😊💞
Thank you so much 💕 I’m so glad you liked it. And about the lip (I appreciate you asking btw), this was an old stump of a lipliner in a berry color so idk what it’s called, but the gloss is Rare Beauty Nearly Neutral. I got a sample and I really like how it feels and how long it lasts (not endorsed haha), so I think I’ll get it. ☺️
Not taking anything away from either one of the female vocalists that have covered Dolly's version .. but Linda Ronstadt also gives her beautiful version as well. Dolly , Linda , Whitney and now Kelly.
I’ve seen many people mention her version, so I’ll have to check it out ☺️ I love that you said «not taking anything away from either..» cause it’s really not a competition. I appreciate your attitude ☺️. It’s really cool how this song can be sung with different vocal expressions and styles, and still have such a crystal clear message.
I think she composed most of her melodies too ☺️ And if I remember correctly, she wrote this one and Jolene on the same day. Both turned classics. She’s really an amazing songwriter.
I'm not necessarily a fan of Kelly and she is taking on a song that is close to my heart and is SO iconic and one only thinks of two women who are allowed to sing it, but I have to admit, she did not offend. Go girl.
She did amazing. But she actually did the Whitney Houston cover. Everyone knows dolly parton sang and wrote the song but alot of people think this song belongs to Whitney and Kelly here was doing the Whitney cover.
Hm... i have nothing against Clarkson shes a phenomenal Singer. And..tbf shes better then Dolly Parton. But this song, forevet is bound to Whitney Houston for me. INCREDIBLE Performance. Stunning voice. She was the perfect fit for this song. Even if i have to say.. celine dion did a realy good job and i say shes a waaaaaay better singer but. Na.. this song allways reminds me of whitney houston first
It’s so amazing. You mean to *not* make it like their versions, right? Not sure what you mean by your advice or by putting reaction in quotes. Kelly is obviously the star?
She did, and that is the part where she destroys it. Destroy can be used in a positive sense, like «slayed» or «killed», which is the case for this title.
Whitney Houston's version want based on Dolly Parton's but in Linda Ronstadt's cover of 1975. She was the first to cover it after Dolly refused to sell the song to Elvis Presley since she knew it was a great song. I honestly have never liked any other cover besides therm two.
Whitney Houston's version is a cover of Dolly Parton's original song, so it's definitely "based on" it, regardless of whether Whitney additionally got inspired by someone else's cover or not :)
I was about to get “upset” because of the title. Such clickbait. Haha. I loved this cover. I liked she stayed close to Dolly’s and only adding a little of Whitney’s because it was a Dolly tribute not a Whitney one. It was great.
Glad I didn’t upset you after all :) I’d say it’s an ambiguous title rather than clickbait as «destroy» can be used as a positive, which it definitely is in Kelly’s case. I knew my subscribers would know what it meant. And I agree it was a great way to pay tribute to Dolly while also hinting at Whitney’s version.
I love Kelly Clarkson, but I didn't like her version. But, I love Jennifer Hudson version. Can you react to Jennifer Hudson's version? I think you'll really like that one as well.
I was not impressed. Too much vibrato prior to the punch. I think she should have controlled it better in the softer parts of the song. Just my opinion. She is a phenomenal singer to be sure.
What's the matter with people they think she's a great singer you better listen to that video again he's not the best singer and Dolly Parton she's the best singer in the world she's better singer than she is how can people say he's a good singer I don't think so and how she got the reward I don't understand I listen to her sing nothing like Dolly come on and she got the reward dolly is the best singer in the whole world not Kelly thumbs are down saying a great singer they just felt sorry for it so they gave her the reward
You seriously don't like Kelly Clarkson? haha, I'm jk. I know this is like the 100th video of her but hey, she's an amazing singer! I'm glad you're discovering her.😀 Kelly really nailed this song so damn well. I'm glad that you're feeling better from the Rona. Btw I would love to see you doing a reaction video from the Grammys last, maybe Billie Eilish or Olivia Rodrigo or anyone else?
And I’ve been wanting to do Grammy and Oscar performances, I’ve saved them all for watching later just in case ☺️ Gonna make a poll to see which ones people would want. Thank you!!
In case the title is confusing, I mean «destroys» in the best way possible. My subs know I LOVE Kelly, and she nails every song. Or *destroys* them.
I just wanted to try an ambiguous title to see what happened. Hope you still enjoy the video.

@@rainymctrixie1 it’s ambiguous, not clickbait. I will continue to try out titles and strategies as I see fit.
@@marieasparling6717got me to watch!
Let her sing
@@kathleenking7438 you know I’m not actually there stopping her, right? Go watch the performance if you don’t want pausing, not a reaction video.
There is nothing that lady cannot sing with perfection!
I love Kelly! Such a powerful yet soft performance
She nailed it ✨
She has 1 of the best & most powerful voices out there. She's a Warrior like her name means, & will prove anybody wrong that says or thinks otherwise. Love it.

You have no idea how happy it makes me that you get something out of my videos and commentary :) Thank you so much!!
I think this song, overall, is one of the few songs that can truly showcase vocal giftedness. Dolly's version is totally Dolly, but a lot of us didn't know what it was until Whitney.

Dolly is my fave the original
Maybe you didn't I wouldn't say allot of people because Dolly did write it for the late Porter Wagoner.

But either way Whitney made allot of money for Dolly with that song hence Everytime they play Whitney Houston version Dolly get royalties from it.
Kelly is so awesome!! What a great voice she has ❤
Amazes me every single time ☺️ Thanks for watching
@@HegeOfficial Thank you darling for react and teaching about so great Talents ❤
One thing about Kelly, she doesn’t skimp in her investment of her voice.She allows emotions. Her voice is gorgeous and I’m impressed. It takes a certain class to sing the way she does. I hope she remembers she’s a singer, most importantly. Hope she doesn’t neglect her gospel talent. She comes across as a sweet girl. Hope she stays that way.
So glad you’re feeling better!! Absolutely loved this reaction video. I’m a 40+ year old man and I had the goosebumps and some tears when I watched this performance on the night. So glad you liked it.
Thank you!! I'm so happy you liked it :). Goosebumps and tears sounds like just the right response for a performance like this. She was phenomenal!
Kelly. And Whitney both sing it very well , but Miss Dolly sings it from the heart and soul. Miss Dolly will always own it .!!!
I have always been a Kelly fan!
But she impressed me n I absolutely love her version!
She truly amazing singer n performer
N nice person
Thank you
1st Glad you are doing better

Thank you for watching
You should react to the one when she sang the dance for Garth Brooks. It was so beautiful. And made Garth tear up there. It was just so beautiful and emotional. It's my fave Garth song. ✨
She absolutely knocked that one out of the park too. Kelly is to music what Iga Swiatek is to tennis.
I absolutely love Kelly! She could sing the phone book and make it sound good! She’s totally amazing!
Me too :) Got a video on her Dancing Queen performance coming out later today.
This was simple, stripped down & to the point. Especially at the end, kelly kept it real simple. Whitney would stretch those moments, let the audience clap for her right before the big climax… she would do her vocal runs after vocal runs, she would wipe her whitney sweat off her face with her towels ….
Kelly also has some balls by keeping it stripped down with piano and guitar. There was no full band to hide behind, theres no room for mistake or iffy off notes… her voice was front and center. That was ballsy.

I feel Kelly did a great job. I actually think a song sung softly as Dolly wrote it makes the song have more meaning than going loud.
Loud and quiet are both beautiful.
One of the most underrated singers of our time. She is a QUEEN!!! ♥️
It baffles me how her Kellyokes don't have waaaay more views, she's so versatile and does a great selection of songs. But I feel like this is her year. It's coming :)

Ofc it's her song, she wrote it :) And she generously shares it with other amazing singers we all get to enjoy alongside her original version.
Oh… my… GOSHHHH goosebumps!!!!! All the way!
Right?? So stunning, beautiful, magnificent, gorgeous, vulnerable and powerful
I wish that Linda Ronstadt's rendition of this song would not be skipped over or left out. She was the first I heard sing it and didnt know anyone else had ever sung it at that time.

I loved this song the first time I heard it sung by Dolly in the Movie "The Best Little Whore House in Texas" loved it again when Whitney sang it..
Both great versions :)
I always think dolly/Whitney mega hit. They are both so unique there is no need to say one is better than the other
Oh I fully agree ☺️ there’s no need to compare the versions as each gives its own vibe and has vocals that suit the separate styles perfectly. I used the word mega hit for Whitney’s version because of the numbers, and how Dolly herself has said that was a great thing to happen for her song.
@@HegeOfficial thank u for saying that. Have u ever listened to post modern jukebox? They change every bit it is still fantastic.
I have ☺️ I also really like Scary Pockets, they do soulful versions. Do you know them?
It's very clear that you know what you're talking about. When there was that tiny crack in her voice, it made the performance sound so much more real than if it had been completely perfect. She's singing about heartbreak, so of course that made it so much more realistic.
Thank you :) And I agree, those little "imperfections" add the realness and makes it perfect on another level.
I love your reaaction videos, they're all so informative and your commentaries are always precise and good!

Chills, chills...
Serious goosebumps here as well
She didn't destroy this. She did it beautifuly.
Yup :) I meant it in a "she slayed it" kinda way, but made the title a bit ambiguous.
@@HegeOfficial get it
Love this Kelly has awesome voice love,love, her.
The first time I ever heard this song it was Dolly singing it in the movie The Best little Whitehouse in Texas.
Yep if I wore a wig pretty sure Kelly would’ve snatched it off with the sheer power of her voice
Oh for for sure, hahaha
Absolutely Beautiful
Her singing is giving me shivers
Very beautiful Kelly love that song 😍😍😍😍😍 Gloria Sluder
I don't know who Gloria Sluder is, but I agree that Kelly did such a beautiful job :) And it's a great song.
Welcome Kelly Clarkson! Amazing
She can sing anything as beautiful song she did a wonderful job on it
Kelly Clarkson’s voice is just beautiful. The word I’m looking for here is, what, “gorgeous”?( I just don’t know...) She is a treasure...I’m a grown man but still affected by her
Gorgeous would be a great word to describe both her voice and her personality/looks, indeed :)
I love your commentary! Right on the money! Totally beside the point, and you look great for having been ill, bit I love the colour of your lipstick. What is it?
Again, totally irrelevant to your commentary, which I enjoyed.😊💞
Thank you so much 💕 I’m so glad you liked it. And about the lip (I appreciate you asking btw), this was an old stump of a lipliner in a berry color so idk what it’s called, but the gloss is Rare Beauty Nearly Neutral. I got a sample and I really like how it feels and how long it lasts (not endorsed haha), so I think I’ll get it. ☺️
Really Good Kelly
Personally, I think Dolly made it a big hit first. I think her voice just broke and it wasn’t intended, which makes it more real in my book.
Kelly is a Queen.
Kelly is the first person to sing I will aways love you with a peyanel alone an killed it and dolly love it !!!!!!!
Kelly always slays!
That’s a fact!
I DO apologize that I misunderstood your feelings of Kelly singing her song "Piece by Piece" on American Idol.
Oh no worries at all ☺️
Love your videos, greeting from Venezuela sweetie, it's amazing that you're feeling better
Thank you so much! ☺️ Appreciate you being here
Love it! ♥️ She did a Fantastic 😍 job...
I think so too! :) Really beautiful
I love this version more very romantic so deep 💓💓💓
She's the best! 👐👐👐👐
Not taking anything away from either one of the female vocalists that have covered Dolly's version .. but Linda Ronstadt also gives her beautiful version as well. Dolly , Linda , Whitney and now Kelly.
I’ve seen many people mention her version, so I’ll have to check it out ☺️ I love that you said «not taking anything away from either..» cause it’s really not a competition. I appreciate your attitude ☺️.
It’s really cool how this song can be sung with different vocal expressions and styles, and still have such a crystal clear message.
That is soooooo sweet, I love this song.
Such a great song, a timeless classic :)
Just beautifully done!
100% agree. She's so incredible
Welcome back home. We miss yours comments. I'm glad you feeling better
Thank you ☺️ I appreciate you being here, Ileana.
Kelly did great 💜
Dolly wrote an incredible song. I will have to look up if she wrote both the music and lyrics. It is one of the best songs ever.
I think she composed most of her melodies too ☺️ And if I remember correctly, she wrote this one and Jolene on the same day. Both turned classics. She’s really an amazing songwriter.
I'm not necessarily a fan of Kelly and she is taking on a song that is close to my heart and is SO iconic and one only thinks of two women who are allowed to sing it, but I have to admit, she did not offend. Go girl.
Perfect!!!!!!!
Kelly did a beautiful performance.
Sure did :)
Could you do a reaction to Kelly Clarkson singing My Country Tis of Thee? Omg. It’s amazing! ❤️🔥
I love Kelly. That’s all I have to say.
She did amazing. But she actually did the Whitney Houston cover. Everyone knows dolly parton sang and wrote the song but alot of people think this song belongs to Whitney and Kelly here was doing the Whitney cover.
Love Kelly Clarkson
me too :)
I think she did an awesome job she made the song hers love it
I agree :)
She DID NOT DESTROY THE SONG….SHE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB
You clearly didn’t watch the video. «Destroy» is used as a positive.
@@HegeOfficial ok thank you for correcting me…. Have a great day
@@laurasmith5216 Thank you, and you too ☺️
She didn’t sing it like Dolly or Whitney, she sang it like Kelly!!!
Yes, like I said in the video. Seems like you only watched the intro there, Rosemary.
Up there I am sure Whitney was watching and I am sure she was proud! ❤️
:')
Awesome Reactions....
Thank you :) appreciate you watching
Have u reacted to her and I think his name is Josh Groban singing live? It's amazing 👏
Hm... i have nothing against Clarkson shes a phenomenal Singer. And..tbf shes better then Dolly Parton. But this song, forevet is bound to Whitney Houston for me. INCREDIBLE Performance. Stunning voice. She was the perfect fit for this song. Even if i have to say.. celine dion did a realy good job and i say shes a waaaaaay better singer but. Na.. this song allways reminds me of whitney houston first
Kelly's version is amazing. The 'thing' is to make it like Dolly or Whitney. BTW let Kelly be the popstar she is in your 'reaction'.
It’s so amazing. You mean to *not* make it like their versions, right? Not sure what you mean by your advice or by putting reaction in quotes. Kelly is obviously the star?
Love Kelly but no one sings this song like Dolly Parton. Kelly does a fantastic job but Kelly can sing any song out there.
Where is the part where she destroys it? She did amazing here
She did, and that is the part where she destroys it. Destroy can be used in a positive sense, like «slayed» or «killed», which is the case for this title.
Great job !!!!!
If you mean Kelly - I 100% agree 👏🙌 If you meant the video, thank you so much 🥰 either way, thanks for watching!
All versions are great but there is another version not many play by Linda Ronstadt
Whitney Houston's version want based on Dolly Parton's but in Linda Ronstadt's cover of 1975. She was the first to cover it after Dolly refused to sell the song to Elvis Presley since she knew it was a great song. I honestly have never liked any other cover besides therm two.
Whitney Houston's version is a cover of Dolly Parton's original song, so it's definitely "based on" it, regardless of whether Whitney additionally got inspired by someone else's cover or not :)
She went whitney style cause shes a power house herself to. When she gets into it whitney style 🙂💓👍
Pretty sure Kelly can sing anything
She really has a way of serving that Kelly Clarkson touch across so many genres.
you dont want runs in a song like this
You are absolutely beautiful girl.
I was about to get “upset” because of the title. Such clickbait. Haha. I loved this cover. I liked she stayed close to Dolly’s and only adding a little of Whitney’s because it was a Dolly tribute not a Whitney one. It was great.
Glad I didn’t upset you after all :) I’d say it’s an ambiguous title rather than clickbait as «destroy» can be used as a positive, which it definitely is in Kelly’s case. I knew my subscribers would know what it meant. And I agree it was a great way to pay tribute to Dolly while also hinting at Whitney’s version.
@@HegeOfficial I forgot it could be used as positive when I wrote that comments afterwards I realized.
I love Kelly Clarkson, but I didn't like her version. But, I love Jennifer Hudson version. Can you react to Jennifer Hudson's version? I think you'll really like that one as well.
I'll gladly do the Jennifer one, it's been in my recommendations on RUclips but I've saved it in case I wanted to react to it :) Thanks!
I was not impressed. Too much vibrato prior to the punch. I think she should have controlled it better in the softer parts of the song. Just my opinion. She is a phenomenal singer to be sure.
What's the matter with people they think she's a great singer you better listen to that video again he's not the best singer and Dolly Parton she's the best singer in the world she's better singer than she is how can people say he's a good singer I don't think so and how she got the reward I don't understand I listen to her sing nothing like Dolly come on and she got the reward dolly is the best singer in the whole world not Kelly thumbs are down saying a great singer they just felt sorry for it so they gave her the reward
No sense was made 🙄. Dolly loved the performance, are you saying she’s got bad taste?
Side note: you should really give punctuation a try 👍
WTH you talking about???
Check out Marc Martels version
Thanks for the recommendation :)
I hope you didn’t use the word destroy cuz some people might think it’s a negative way of interpretation.
I knew it was an ambiguous title when I posted it, yes.
You seriously don't like Kelly Clarkson? haha, I'm jk. I know this is like the 100th video of her but hey, she's an amazing singer! I'm glad you're discovering her.😀 Kelly really nailed this song so damn well.
I'm glad that you're feeling better from the Rona.
Btw I would love to see you doing a reaction video from the Grammys last, maybe Billie Eilish or Olivia Rodrigo or anyone else?
Hahaha not one bit :p. Oof even writing that felt wrong. She’s truly such a SINGER with a capital.. well, all the letters!
And I’ve been wanting to do Grammy and Oscar performances, I’ve saved them all for watching later just in case ☺️ Gonna make a poll to see which ones people would want. Thank you!!
@@HegeOfficial Oooh awesome! I'll be waiting for the poll to vote.
