Wow absolutely wow. She is hands down the whole package. She can saaaang, act and has great stage performance. That is one of the best pitch perfect spot on tributes I have ever heard. She is amazing. I am excited she just stuck to the original. No extra runs, no extremely high notes. How she is not a famous famous singer is beyond me. It is hard to make that transition from actress to singer. But she is flawless. Get it gurl ; )
She is... She's done so much before house of Payne like different plays and songs but she was more focused on her acting career now she's focused on her singing career
If they do a Whitney Houston movie, she should definitely play Whitney. Let's switch it up instead of having the same people in every tribute movie. She's awesome!
Gave me chills! Extraordinary voice...this Woman is the whole package...Her acting skills & stage presence are phenomenal🎁♥️..... physically beautiful!
Sitting here listening to this, what a beautiful honor! Especially thinking of her daughter Bobbi my heart aches. tears rolls, thank you and a moment well done! congrats to you and continue blossoming.
Wow, I teared up! That was powerful. I have always loved this song and you did it and Whitney justice with your rendition. You're OFFICIAL, in my book, Demetria.
It truly and completely hurts me so much to see true artist underrated!!!!! I loved Whitney So much and so far she's the only one to do her justice!!! Such a good job!!!! Additional fact I also hate she had to get caught up with such a belligerent show such as Atlanta Housewives. It devalues her. Just my opinion!!!
I watched my fiancee tear up and pretend he was yawning. Then whennshe hit the final note he got up to pretend he needed to use the bathroom. This woman is powerful. Loved it absolutely flawless
This woman does not get the recognition that she deserves she is talented she has a beautiful voice this song is on the same scale of the Adele songs that she sings...Keep doing you Lady
She should have been first pick to play Whitney she has the voice the look and the acting skill. I love Dametria she is an AMAZING talent. Yall not ready
Applaud, Applause, my GOODNESS, beautiful voice wonderful and GREAT, thank you , for doing Whitney right, my FAV song love the movie love the soundtrack, awesome
Demetria McKinney you are absolutely amazing, this version of Whitney's song, You have brought the memories back when I first heard her sing this song. What a performance, (DMcK).
I have never seen anyone come this close to Whitney- this girl is amazing. I did not know she could sing like this and with little effort or strain. All I can say is just WOW!
She is amazingly talented and I would love for her to step away from "Reality Television," she has an awesome voice. I remember seeing her sing in a Tyler Perry play in ATL. She needs a great writer to spin her some magic and let it blow! #BringRBBack
Demetria - forgive me for not knowing you before this moment, but I must say that your Whitney tribute rendition of "I will always love you" .. is absolutely sensational, girl! To be totally honest, though, my judgement could have been influenced by your stunning, captivating beauty and charm?! Just sayin' ... :) Seriously --- Bravo, Demetria! Ciao ~ PS- And I agree with many of these other posts: If they make a movie again about Whitney H. to include the 'far too familiar tragedy' of her daughter's story -- a Producer would be a fool not to chose you!!!
Demetria you have a beautiful voice...don't ever give up on your dreams because of your age...keep going....this was a perfect replica of whitney houston...you did not disappoint her...keep it...; )
This sista definitely doesn't get all the credit that she deserves she's a Powerhouse and a amazing actress and beautiful might I add this black sista is going places I support her in all that she does she has an amazing voice wow doesn't get any closer to Whitney Houston than this gives me chills just listening to it wow!😍
Thank you for this video.. My best friend passed away and you look just like her.. I felt her Spirit singing this to me through you! God Bless you and keep touching people lives through the Word! Much Respect Always
Very hard song to do .... she did it very very respectfully well. I feel she would have made an AWESOME Whitney on the biopic (no shade to YaYa cos I'm proud of her too) but D is more realistic.
Dolly Parton (this is her song) and Whitney would be very proud!! Demetria did that!! I knew she could sing, but I didn't know she could sing like that!! Awesome vocals!!
One of the MOST UNDERRATED SINGER EVER!!! Demetria is killing those Vocals... For me this is the "New Voice"💞💞👋👋👋👋🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes, yes,yes Demetria you killed this song...Everyone can't do a Whitney song but I must say you did that sista..I got a little teary eyed.
Demetria you sang that song, you sound just like Whitney. It gave me chills. You go girl!
Yes she does!!!! #Wow
She sang her a** off I will give get that. But NOBODY can do it like Whitney. Whitney will always be the best hands down!!!
Wow absolutely wow. She is hands down the whole package. She can saaaang, act and has great stage performance. That is one of the best pitch perfect spot on tributes I have ever heard. She is amazing. I am excited she just stuck to the original. No extra runs, no extremely high notes. How she is not a famous famous singer is beyond me. It is hard to make that transition from actress to singer. But she is flawless. Get it gurl ; )
she sung that and was holding back tears now that's talent when it comes to that song
girl you are doing this song justice
Omfg! This is the closest I have heard to anyone sounding LIKE Whitney Houston! Amazing!
Wow!!! She really sounded good!! Demetria McKinney surprised me on this one.
Teisha Thomas Deborah Cox
mwhytwokay...never heard deborah sing a whitney song.i know she has the voice. So i can imagine she would be great
Teisha Thomas she was the voice on the Whitney Houston TV movie
yessssssss ikr said the same thing😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm confused as to how she's not a professional singer I just know her from house of payne as Janine but she can SANG.
She's sung before in a Tyler Perry stage play. I think it was Meet The Browns.
She has an album out now...;)
She is... She's done so much before house of Payne like different plays and songs but she was more focused on her acting career now she's focused on her singing career
Dustin Carter she is it's just she's not mainstream and yes baby girl can blow her ass off 🙌🏽🙌🏽
She is!She has a couple of joints.
my eyes just got watery for some reason, damn you janine
+Melodie Jai LOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Melodie Jai 😂😂😂😂😂I know right
If they do a Whitney Houston movie, she should definitely play Whitney. Let's switch it up instead of having the same people in every tribute movie. She's awesome!
Shanice Jones she is gonna play Whitney in bobbi Kristina's biopic
*she sang so well and that red lipstick looked so nice on her*
Gave me chills! Extraordinary voice...this Woman is the whole package...Her acting skills & stage presence are phenomenal🎁♥️..... physically beautiful!
HOLY SHIT. SHE CAN SING. WOW. loved her on house of Payne and now she is a great singer
RHOA show brought me here and she really sang this song for Whitney Houston great job!!
LOL! Hell yeah me too.
Sitting here listening to this, what a beautiful honor! Especially thinking of her daughter Bobbi my heart aches. tears rolls, thank you and a moment well done! congrats to you and continue blossoming.
She sang that song! A lot of singers can't hit those high notes without sounding stressed. She did it with ease! Great job!
Killed it hands down👏 #loveit
🎯
So beautifully sung and sad at the same time. D, you did that!! RIP THE VOICE!
Always loved her voice -- so talented!! Did a wonderful job
Omg she sing sooo great!! I just can't believe Whitney and her daughter gone tho that's some sad stuff man 🙅😭
Wow, I teared up! That was powerful. I have always loved this song and you did it and Whitney justice with your rendition. You're OFFICIAL, in my book, Demetria.
It truly and completely hurts me so much to see true artist underrated!!!!! I loved Whitney So much and so far she's the only one to do her justice!!! Such a good job!!!!
Additional fact I also hate she had to get caught up with such a belligerent show such as Atlanta Housewives. It devalues her. Just my opinion!!!
OMG! I got chills up my spine watching the beautiful performance!
Awesome job, she sang it perfectly. She didn't "over sing" it!
I watched my fiancee tear up and pretend he was yawning. Then whennshe hit the final note he got up to pretend he needed to use the bathroom. This woman is powerful. Loved it absolutely flawless
YOU BETTER SANG IT GIRL!!!
Whitney loved when someone got up n really sang one of her songs I'm sure this would've made her so happy.
This woman does not get the recognition that she deserves she is talented she has a beautiful voice this song is on the same scale of the Adele songs that she sings...Keep doing you Lady
In my feelings. She owned that song at its best. The greatest tribute I heard this year
Dang! I.never thought nobody.can.sing or hit the notes as like Whitney Houston until i saw this video dementia song this
I know this is 3 months old and what not, but honestly there are a few others who can hit those notes. Just one example is Jordan sparks.
***** jordans voice was too light for a whitney song but she did good
Dementia?
A beautiful, touching tribute to our WHITNEY.
This is great....Thank you and God Bless your beautiful voice
omg she sund exactly like her just with out that pull in her voice that only whiteney has but amazing
Now, that was a beautiful tribute and I've seen them all since her rise to fame in the 80s!!!
#AbsolutelyFantastic
Wow, Just WOW!!!! She should do the next nationally televised Whitney tribute...simple, clean and completely on point!
It is amazing Angela Bassett was able to make the film due to the circumstances surrounding Whitney's untimely death.
This is soooo sweet! Great voice and great video! Thanks
Best performance of Whitney's signature song since Whitney herself sang it... Good job Demetria!
Wow... Beautiful. Not many can pull off a Whitney song. But girlfriend did. Amazing
I already knew she could I have all of Tyler plays movies she has a part in she is awesome
An outstanding tribute with authenticity...Great job Demetria!

OMG! This is beautiful, she sounds amazing.

She should have been first pick to play Whitney she has the voice the look and the acting skill. I love Dametria she is an AMAZING talent. Yall not ready
