You can’t compare Whitney and Dolly. They’re both powerhouse singers. I’ve been a fan of them both since I was a child and clearly for good reason. For me, Dolly’s version is so tender and sweet. It reminds me of the tenderness of love. Whitney’s version reminds me of the how dynamic and explosive love can be. Truly grateful for both versions.
Dolly has even said that Whitney's version was better. She's come out & said she likes when other artists cover her songs & make it their own. Very humble & kindhearted person.
It doesn't matter who sang it better; they are different genres and contexts. We all know now how Whitney lived, god rest her soul. Show some respect to both performances.
Точно!! Меня никогда песня в исполнении Уитни Хьюстон не цепляла. Но когда я услышала это исполнение, - все встало на свои места. Долли Партон поет так чувственно и нежно ❤
Yes, heartfelt and personal unlike the shout it from the mountaintops Whitney version. Dolly's version sounds more honest, like she really means it for life, not just the moment.
@@valvenatorshe wrote it for Porter Wagoner. A singer that she worked with on his tv show. He gave dolly her big break….When she was leaving the show she knew he’d be mad about it so she wrote this song to smooth over hurt feelings..
Her thanking the crowd while they were clapping. So sweet. I had a greater liking to Ms.Dolly after how she responded in the Barbara Walters interview. Truly a classy woman.
Both versions are exceptionally beautiful. Dollys version is like someone telling you that they love you. Whitney’s version feels like you are telling someone you love them. To Be Loved vs To Love. Both incredible feelings.
Both Whitney and Dolly are such unique versions. Dolly’s is nostalgic and heartbreaking, while Whitney is passionate and full emotion. Both are so deep and such masterpieces ❤ both are different angles
For a long time the media made me believing Whitney version was the best, but watching and listening to this original I can see how Dolly Parton poured her whole being into this song that striped down acoustics and her voice makes you listen to the lyrics and Country Twang just the cherry on top
As a man in my mid 40s, this song resonates with me deeply, and not just the song, but the lyrics. I have had a few women I have loved in my life, and when you really get down to it, you wish them the absolute best in life.
@ thanks! Sorry to hear about your situation but it gets better. If you truly cared for them or loved them you’ll still think about them from time to time and that’s totally okay.
At 42 yo, living the worst break up of my life, and crying over this song. The lyrics say exactly what I wish for my ex-lover. Dolly's rendition is splendid. 🥺
Thanks so much for your pleasant remarks i appreciate and I went to say a big thank you for your love and support as my fan and how long have you been my fan ?
She could have done this song without any background music. Her voice is so sweet and loving. The best version ever, no mechanics, nor editing, nor computer, just perfect.............. We love you Dolly.
There's no better version. This one reflects the past in a laid back way. The other is a powerhouse and you don't always have the energy to process all that. The key is that we have both versions and that is enriching for us all.
@@hansemannluchter643 Yes, absolutely. But many of us came to know this song and produced royalties for Dolly Parton because The Bodyguard was a big movie. I'm from Argentina and Dolly Parton was not as international as Whitney Houston was. Discovering the original version was an event for me, because i didn't know it was a cover.
@@hansemannluchter643 well, you should forgive ignorance in those cases. Audiences are always subjected to exposition of media and we don't always come to know in chronological order what was released prior or after. I've came to know first the cover of Freddie Mercury of "The great pretender" and liked it a lot. Years passed and i realized what a band The platters were and i now like their song best. Many artists renew the exposition to great artists from the past and enrich us through various ways.
Dolly had a variety show that would come on tv every Saturday morning and she would sing this song at the end. At the time I thought that this was the most beautiful sound I ever heard, and that she was singing it to me and I would cry every time because I was never loved as a child. I’m 61yrs old now and it still make me cry.
I do think this song has all the possibilities because is a masterpiece of love. It’s beautifully passionate with Dolly, sensacional with Whitney. This song will live forever.
I don't know if it is because of the fact that I love old songs, but this version Sound very deep and the combinations of melodies bring us back to 60s - 90s. Wow
That narration part is like a stab in my chest, the way it's just narrated... Been playing in bands the Whitney version for decades, but it's just now that the lyrics hit me.. Just broke up with my ex who refuses to let me go and wants me back... I feel so much pity and my heart feels so heavy for her helplessness but I pray and cry to God to please bless her and wish she finds the one for her 😥
"I Will Always Love You" is a song written and originally recorded in 1973 by American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton. Written as a farewell to her business partner and mentor Porter Wagoner, expressing Parton's decision to pursue a solo career. As per Wikipeida. This song is sung as it was intended by Dolly. When Life's stresses are upon us what comes out of us shows who we are. This is who Dolly Parton is. Blessings
As others mentioned, not everyone knew that she was the original songwriter for this masterpiece. It's simply brilliant. Love this live performance. 💖💖🎶🎶⏳
I remember years ago when I told a coworker that Dolly Partin wrote and sang this song before Whitney did. She was so upset that I actually got reprimanded by our supervisor for bringing up "upsetting" things.
I love both versions for what they are Dolly's emotion telling a personal story and Whitney's over the top vocal performance that only she could do either way they both made a bunch of money and we got two great versions that are unique to both artist
I have never heard Dolly Parton sing until tonight. Im 68 and have missed out on a entire genre of music. I lived in east TN for 6 years and now have a great admiration for Dolly.
Dolly’s original version is just so tender and sweet, something like that can’t be replaced with anything else. In the end, after the storm calms, we want tender and sweet, just like this. Beautiful
OMG I heard a piece if this version in Facebook for the first time a few minutes ago. This is so sweet and so well song. The song writer always sounds like magic. This is so nice. I think I have hundred of songs to hear from Dolly.
Ох и ничего себе. Думаю, процентов 90 слышавших эту песню вспомнят только Витни Хьюстон. А она просто удачно перепела и забрала всю славу. Как хорошо, что я услышал Вас. Будьте здравы!
@@DeanRimus Я согласен, что их даже не сравнить. Витни - это про "поглядите, как я умею выть", Долли - "почувствуйте, как поёт моя душа." Это песня-откровение, бывают у некоторых авторов.
If I get goosebumps from a performance, I know it is hitting me deep. Not the first time I heard this, but the first time I actively listened. Goosebumps.
Fast X is finished, I'm alone 54 years old living in a Range, feelin 12 years old, victory and start walking...listening, learning to Country with dolly 😁
A versão da Whitney vejo como mais romântica, até pq se vendeu assim (por conta do filme), Já a da Dolly vai além. É como se tocasse na alma. Além de ser uma versão mais "acústica" que para mim é sensacional.
August 2024. I love Dolly singing this because she wrote it and it is personal and heartfelt. Her voice is so pure and sweet and I feel like crying because I have these feelings for someone in my past. Dolly has said that Elvis asked her if he could record it and she said no.👏💐💗
Dolly and Porter really loved each other. It's sad that they parted ways but I guess she wanted to move on after 7 yrs. Her intro to this song that she wrote for Porter says it all.
@@ronaldlagrandwynnjrbland? If you dont understand music just go home I prefer this version than whitney, more personal and sweet with beautiful dolly light voice.
I love Dolly. And this is such a beautiful song. Whitney certainly did this and beyond. After all, covering this song would have to be great in order to do it any justice. Absolutely lovely. ❤
Heard once that Whitney's version is a statement to the world and Dolly's is a whisper in your ear. Both are magnificent versions of that incredible song.
I am old enough to have heard the original version first when it came out and also hearing the version later in life and both versions have they're place in time and into individuals hearts, minds and the love we have for another!!!! Enjoy both versions!!!!!
Nothing will ever beat the original but we should appreciate who ever took their time in doing a remake of this song most especially whitney and may her soul continue resting easy in eternal sleep 🥺🙏🏾
Learned today that Dolly originally wrote this song. What a fun surprise, and a great original.
Same here
Same
notice that she`s singin it, not screaming
Hahahaha 😂@@64fairlane305
Same… that’s why I’m here to hear it for the first time lol
Regardless of who sings it best, the songwriting was a masterpiece by Dolly.
It's a masterpiece sung as a variation by Whitney.
Whitney ❤
Dolly.
Also sung by Linda Ronstadt
@@abusaidfulus8901 Didn't know that. I'll have to look that one up.
I love listening to people who can actually sing. It really is a God given talent.
Like a bird singing in the morning
Very refreshing and beautiful
In my next life, I want to be able to sing. I love to sing but I can’t carry a tune in a bucket.
So true ❤
With a lot of practice also!
Modern mainstream singers can't sing. The autotune is too obvious.
Dolly's version hits me harder cause to me it came from the heart. God bless you Dolly
Hello dear, I guess you are a Country Music lovely?
@@JamesSmith-im2pd yes i love country song
I like both versions as each came deep from the heart . If I could sing, I'll sing it from the heart as well.
This sounds so wrong!! Whitney's version sounds so right!!
I do understand and agree to what you mean❤
Dolly is so talented ❤

Whitney has a better voice .
Exactly!
Beautifully put
@@jasonbare3472 This version here is live. The studio version is more polished
Nobody talks about the guitarist behind and I loved his work
Oh yes, it is tasteful
vim aqui por causa dos acordes dele
What is the name of the guitarist playing the Telecaster?
They're backup
Fantastic session musicians!!
Dolly has even said that Whitney's version was better. She's come out & said she likes when other artists cover her songs & make it their own. Very humble & kindhearted person.
Excepto con Elvis Presley
I prefer Dolly's version, more simple and classic
еще чего, Хьстон, Долли номер один была есть и будет
It doesn't matter who sang it better; they are different genres and contexts. We all know now how Whitney lived, god rest her soul. Show some respect to both performances.
Dolly’s is better
Dolly's version is magical, she sang from the deepest heart...
Whitney sings this like a production number almost a opera , Dolly sings it like she lived it and that’s a massive difference
That little bit of a quiver she has in her voice at times, verifies that.
❤
She did live it. This was an I love you and goodbye letter to a collaborator who she was leaving to go solo near the start of her career.
Точно!! Меня никогда песня в исполнении Уитни Хьюстон не цепляла. Но когда я услышала это исполнение, - все встало на свои места. Долли Партон поет так чувственно и нежно ❤
true, i love Whitney but she sounds robotic and without emotion
this is the original singer who sang it very simply and the voice is relaxing from the heart
We know
she wrote the song its her song
Yes, heartfelt and personal unlike the shout it from the mountaintops Whitney version. Dolly's version sounds more honest, like she really means it for life, not just the moment.
@@valvenatorhow can one sound more honest?💀 You mean the level of emotion is different but honest… nah🤣

Both versions are exceptionally beautiful.
Dollys version is like someone telling you that they love you.
Whitney’s version feels like you are telling someone you love them.
To Be Loved vs To Love. Both incredible feelings.
nailed it
Wow you stated it perfectly
Totally
😢😢😢
The way Dolly is singing this song, I can feel and understand it better. Masterpiece!
Her version sounds sweet and romantic. Whitney's version sounds intense and mourning.
Both versions are amazing as always.
No better way to describe it
voor mij zingt Dolly het veel geloofwaardiger
Dollys is definitely sweet & romantic
Exactly ❤
I agree
Wow her voice is so naturally powerful yet so sweet.
This version goes straight to the bottom of your heart.
Hello dear, I guess you are a Country Music lovely?
Her voice is so calming just beautiful ❤
Both Whitney and Dolly are such unique versions. Dolly’s is nostalgic and heartbreaking, while Whitney is passionate and full emotion. Both are so deep and such masterpieces ❤ both are different angles
No I disagree there's more pain and emotion with dolly where as whitney just over sang it ❤
@@TammyLouize666100 % agreed 👍.
For a long time the media made me believing Whitney version was the best, but watching and listening to this original I can see how Dolly Parton poured her whole being into this song that striped down acoustics and her voice makes you listen to the lyrics and Country Twang just the cherry on top
couldnt agree more
is not the media, is just that both singers really give their entire souls when singing this song
That’s definitely just opinion glad everyone has one and i disagree Whitney’s definitely better
And Whitney is still obviously the best.
Whitney’s vocals are stronger, but the lyrics are absolutely beautiful and credit for that entirely goes to the beautiful, Dolly Parton.
As a man in my mid 40s, this song resonates with me deeply, and not just the song, but the lyrics. I have had a few women I have loved in my life, and when you really get down to it, you wish them the absolute best in life.
So true 😢❤
I just had an amicable but bittersweet break up and this comment hit hard. 😢
@ thanks! Sorry to hear about your situation but it gets better. If you truly cared for them or loved them you’ll still think about them from time to time and that’s totally okay.
This almost made my cry. Im in tears because of how beautiful it was😢😭
Hello how are you doing?😊
@@JacobWilson-uf6zqgood
Both versions are great but, Dolly's hits my heart more because it seems more personal
I mean, she did write it
👍👍👍
The original is always the original. And that is most valuable.
Dolly and Whitney‘s versions are both extremely touching and moving in their own unique ways.
Whitney's version just hits so much harder.
I like them both, but this is one instance that the cover is better than the original.
She is not supposed to still her song . I like people independent not follower
Learn to spell steal
At 42 yo, living the worst break up of my life, and crying over this song. The lyrics say exactly what I wish for my ex-lover. Dolly's rendition is splendid. 🥺
It speaks to the heart❤
I hope you feel better soon 🫂😔 I also went through some tough situation this year
Thanks so much for your pleasant remarks i appreciate and I went to say a big thank you for your love and support as my fan and how long have you been my fan ?
I wish you and ur ex both happiness ❤
Courage mon ami!!
0:27 one of the most beautiful thank yous I’ve ever seen😊
Team Dolly !!!! 😊
She wrote it for Porter Wagoner. She left his show and became an Icon after it!
It gives me a sweet memories that totally never happened
I was about to say that
exactly same
Totally😂

YEAH
Guitar + voice = wonderful 👏🏾
So damn good man...
She could have done this song without any background music. Her voice is so sweet and loving. The best version ever, no mechanics, nor editing, nor computer, just perfect.............. We love you Dolly.

Hi
I’m always so astonished at how easy singing is for her. Those notes are so beautiful with her sweet voice. She makes it look so effortless.
Even here in Greece 🇬🇷, and in Uganda 🇺🇬, Dolly Parton is loved by her fans.
Didn’t know that Dolly Parton wrote this song. She sings very well.
I’ve heard a lot of covers of this song yet this is the first time my tears fell🥹 There’s always beauty in simplicity❤️
Y esta es la versión original, ella fue la compositora
Probably bcs this is the original version❤️🩹

Nothing like original .. simplicity is the most genuine flavor in this song.. definitely Dolly is the master ..

Always best sang by the writer.... Gets me every time!!...Great song...an incredible carrer by an amazing lady!!❤
Just gone bonkers over Dolly Partons voice. She has the warm innocence in her vocals
How have I never seen this before! Totally different to Whitney Houston but equally incredible
Dolly is the Queen of Country!
Hello how are you doing today..?
Such positive and joyful feelings during and after the performance.
August 2024. I love Dolly singing this because she wrote it and it is personal and heartfelt. Her voice is so pure and sweet and I feel like crying because I have these feelings for someone in my past. Dolly has said that Elvis asked her if he could record it and she said no.👏💐💗
Her vibrato is on another level. Wow. 👏
Dolly and Porter really loved each other. It's sad that they parted ways but I guess she wanted to move on after 7 yrs. Her intro to this song that she wrote for Porter says it all.

this is the bestest version, without a doubt! Just how it was intended to be
was it intended to be bland?

She made more money and won Grammy with Whitney version. So hands down Whitney blew the top of her cowgirl hat!! 😂I'm just saying.
