It will come, Random Girl. To be as good at singing this song at 22 when she did it at the White House was extraordinary. In 10 years she’ll be the best ever.
🏅 Whitney songs werent really about range it was more power. all her notes had power and techniques more so than range. this is why when other singers sing her song they seem to get vocal fatigue. because what they lack in power they seem to try to compensate with range and strain. 🏅
@Devon Hawkins-Anderson i mean out of the 2.5 only 2 will be chest. Other will be head. And only in few songs she pass F5. So it's more power than range when you consider other vocalists songs.
Lol you can’t say that because songs are only notes written on paper and really anyone can sing notes. What matters is what you bring to those notes. Power and a wide vocal range is something you’re born with. You can practice and get close to it but it’s an innate vocal gift. The thing is you’re so used to hearing Whitney’s version and loving her style of singing that you compare everyone else to her. That’s not the individuals singers fault.
@j w that's literally what i said. Whitney was great but not because of her range. She is a less rangey singer than most famous vocalists. But she had other areas where she exceled. Those things make her once in a generation singer, not range. My only comment was that Whitney wasn't a rangey singer as many claim, eg the comment who said 2.5 is large range.
There is a thing that is called supported range as well... Most females even sopranos can't support a note above eb5 while whitney could support of to g#5.
@@Motocicleiros I tend to agree. The climax for Whitney's OG (B major) is already emotionally intense enough so you don't really need to do anything extraneous with it to make it great, like raising the key up to 11 and adding extra undeed runs.
Nothing beats the original, but I love So Hyang's version...she has an amazing range. Johnny Manuel from America's Got Talent should be in this list too, he did a great job.
Whitney was not one in a generation but in a lifetime. She made it seem so effortless with the beautiful instrument that was her voice. You realize when you hear so many good singers STRUGGLE to push it out. You are missed 😞
Sohyang... I just know you would've made Whitney so proud, absolutely beautiful! And Jessie J absolutely KILLED that performance, gives me chills every single time I hear it!

So the guy Gabriel killed it. 🤯 And Soh Yang also absolutely incredible. Many of them did a great job, honestly. Leona, Jessie, both excellent. At the end of the day though, it’s not just about the notes. And hearing all these incredible singers does just reiterate how extraordinary Whitney was. There was an artistry about her delivery, and that tone is just incomparable.
honestly i didn’t like Ariana’s performance too much. idk if this just me, but she sounded tired and very tense. if she did it now, i would definitely love it. edit: i don’t think she had the power in her voice like she does now.
@@skarlet8812 I agree!! I think it was the nerves cause her cover of Beyoncé's in like 2011/2012 were actually powerful.

Correct pitches (only considering the last part of the song): Jennifer Hudson 1 semitone lower; Glennis Grace 1 tone lower (Whitney used to sing this song in this key live); Davina Michelle 1 tone and 1 semitone lower; Christina Aguilera, 2 tones lower; Sohyang the final part in 1 tone higher.

Jennifer Hudson's was also a semitone lower. Glennis hit a C#5 and a E5 for the climax, whereas Whitney hits a Eb5 and F#5 in the studio version, so she is indeed one tone and one semitone lower. You are right that it is the same key as Whitney's live performance. Christina is 3 tones and 1 semitone because she hit a B4 and a D5. Sorry if I come off as rude or petty, I was really just bored.
Jessie and Glennis slayed it, the emotions, power in those belts... That was just brilliant :) the rest of them, lost depth while reaching higher sounds
Sad that Chris Colfer wasn't in here. His performance may not have been perfect, but I think he did really well considering how difficult the song is and I really enjoy his version.
Whitney usually don't sing any song live in the same key... Actually not only whitney, most singer lower their own songs when going live... Do you guys really think singing in the studio and live is the same thing?
I like glennis version. Whitney possessed amazing range and power together it was like god fine tuned the bass and treble of her voice at the correct levels !
You totally get it. What you describe is voice coordination. She is coordinating her registers so well that no matter how high she belts, you hear the same kind of richness, depth and darkness and also brightness.

@Devon Hawkins-Anderson The thing about is this song was most likely recorded at least a year to 18 months prior to her ever having to sing it live. And she was also singing I Will Always Love You at the same time she was singing this song so it’s understandable why she sang it in a different lower key from the studio version.

These singers don't possess the right balance of power and vocal elegance that Whitney had.
Yeah right. Whatever Whitney solo stan. All of these women including Whitney were powerful. No need to be EXTRA.
So hyang is invited to the cookout
Ariana made it very beautiful I think she did it better than whitney, also keala made it wonderful, Jessie j gave her the power what it needed it was fantastic , and jennifer hudson just made it magic sound so beautiful.
Better than whitney? With all my respect, u're delusional
@@lyent1941 It is my personal opinion everyone has a different and that is why we respect all opinions
@@moony._.j no girl your flat out wrong
@@moony._.j i can respect your opinion, but that era ariana? not better than whitney. she was straining. like a lot. i dont know if that me or not, but she sounded tired and strained.

Jessie J is the only one who in my opinion has done Whitney Houstons song justice.
sohyang is finished!!!
Jessie sang it like a grand finalist winner on an international competition.
Leona Lewis 😍😍😍😍
Honestly it was Jessie J and Gabriel Enrique for me😭😭 Jessie’s control and Gabriel’s whistle thrown in there whew
LEONA LEWIS ❤❤👑👑
Most singers can belt those notes, but they can't convey the emotions as Whitney used to. It's not just about hitting high notes, it's about meaning those lyrics as well.
Sohyang
Morissette is not even taking it seriously but it's still good.
Can't stand her
Sorry, the song is not fit for her.
@@JacobPAus id love to hear why, she is basically the best female vocalist out now, anywhere.
@@internationalfilipino-arti4068 the song fits her just fine and if she was really trying she would nail like it she does just about everything she covers.
@@JacobPAus just a hater obviously
Leona and Jessie were impeccable.
