I have learnt that no matter how good u are at something, there will always be someone who would despise your talents.. just ignore the haters, jessie.. keep doing what you love doing, honey.. there are many good singers out there, but you are my favourite.. beautiful voice and beautiful personality
Beautiful! She is so underrated. Nobody can touch the perfection that was Whitney Houston, but Jesse J is up there with the X-tinas, Mariah, Aretha, etc. She is AMAZING live!! Especially now a days when it seems the younger generation have no regard for REAL vocalists, and get a hard on for flashy outfits, rotating bras, bubblegum backdrops and 100 dancers to distract the fact that the lead singer is butchering their own lyrics. Oh, and generation "big booty sells..." Go on with your bad ass self Jesse J!!! You rock!!!
Jessie has the most amazing voice and beautiful personality to match, I hope she sticks around for a very long time, the music industry needs someone like her.
NOTE: Even her back up singers clap when she's done. I had no idea Jessie J. could actually sing till I heard her sing live. This woman is unique, beautiful, and incredibly gifted. And she proves that not ALL music in the 21st century is crap. Love her.
All you people should stop comparing singers to the original versions, it's not a competition. Everyone has their own style and we should all appreciate that. I love Whitney's version, but also love Jennifer Hudson's version, and also Jordin Spark's version, and I like Jessie J's version, they're all different. Can you imagine if Whitney tried to sing Mama Knows Best? I'm sure I wold like it but I'm many people would say it's not better than Jessie J's version because she's the original and it won't be the same and that's what we're used to and what we heard first. Just appreciate talent, it comes in all forms.
"Can you imagine if Whitney tried to sing Mama Knows Best?" - you're speculating something which doesn't exist or happened yet. What about I will always love you, originally written and sung by Dolly? LMAO
Saori Yamaha There you go again, stop comparing singers to each other when singing the same song, it's not about that. You either like it or not, and it's ok to have an opinion but don't compare singers, especially when they sing in different genres.
lol! "I'm sure I wold like it but I'm many people would say it's not better than Jessie J's version because she's the original and it won't be the same and that's what we're used to and what we heard first." - aren't you contradicting yourself? Secondly - I will always love you is COMPLETELY different, whereas dolly's rendition of the song is a slow country/jazzy feeling as opposed to Whitney's it's more like a pop ballad. Thirdly - Aren't Whitney completely trumps dolly's rendition of IWALY and made it one of the best selling track of all time? It isn't the matter of comparing... Is... You shouldn't even compare any singer next to Whitney... lol
Saori Yamaha My friend I think you're contradicting yourself, not me. You said it's better than Jessie J's version because it's the original, but then you say Dolly's is completely different because it's a slow country/jazzy feeling, lmao. So you pick and choose when to compare and not to compare to the original depending on the artist....talk about hypocritical! I don't compare, I enjoy whichever version I like, and if it's both, I enjoy both. Singers are all different and they don't become artists to compete with each other but to share their talent with their fans, and if some don't like them, so be it.
i think she did the song in her own way!!!!!!!!! so is soooooo good! ***** She is the best singer! her riffs and runs are soooo freaking awesome!!! she has so a powerfull voice! She ismy idol! i love her so much! I try to sing like her! I try really hard but i cant because Jessie J Cornish is the best singer EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have heard this cover by Jesse J about 5,000 times!! it is awesome. I love Jesse J completely!!! I cannot wait until he goes on tour and I hope she stops in Miami, FL
only seen Jessie J last 18 months because I was overseas years - I think she has it all! talent, beauty, charisma and a good heart.......I thoroughly enjoy watching her and Tom Jones particularly on the voice.....the outstanding talent being highlighted by that particular show is phenominal - I was crying and clapping throughout tonight show....
Jessie J shows a lot of creativity in this track. It's hard to cover Whitney Houston songs! She imitated some Whitney's style yet added her own. I enjoyed the performance. Good job!
- Jessie J is absolutely amazingly talented. her voice is so pure and legit. she isn't fake like half of the popular singers today. I LOVE YOU JESSIE J ;
I wish more singers would either do classical singing training or remember what they learnt - the whole reason Jessie J doesn't need auto tune is because she has honed her techniques to a tee.
This was like ages ago why comment on this video only a week ago, Jessie has totally changed since this, her voice is just absolute perfection, she's had 3 albums out since this video, sold out arena tour. She's just sold out her uk tour for next year in a matter of a few hours, and just had one of her biggest hits with bang bang, so stop talking shit
+Ariel Fajardo Yes, even after that, she smartly saved the breath and increased the dynamics of the whole arrangement at the penultimate chorus, and it allows her to perform excellently in hitting the last high note which is very breath-consuming! Bravo and Pro!
I think Jessie J is underrated singer.She didn't even get nominated for a grammy or american music awards.The way she sings is beautiful without yelling like other female artist (you probably know who), she just sings without straining her voice.That's why her and Whitney are my two/only favorite female singers of all time.
I'm sorry I absouletely hand on heart love Jessie so much and she's so amazing and this a good cover but nobody and I mean Nobody will ever come close to Whitney
That's true ! Definately that training in ballet and musical theatre! Enhances so much Jessie's stage presence which is just awesome! I totally agree with what you have said!
ok i will tell you something about it i am a fan for whitney for ever tho i have just not the basics knowledge about music since i have studied music about many years. whitney's voice was Teh Voice BUT whitney build that Voice over the years till she was perfect and we are here to compare jessie with her. Just w8 some years and then you will clearly see that jessie Have the new VOICE title because maybe her songs Dont help her saw you what see can do tho her voice ATM is in the most pure form and when she will grow with the years it will because like whitney's and even better . Jessie j is a rare jewel.
And this is why I love Jessie J, and I love Whitney Houston......... Thank you both for amazing vocals and music,much love to Whitney and her family x0x
That was a really good cover of Whitney's song but I'd like to point out some things of ALL artists who try to cover Whitney songs: THEY ALWAYS EITHER A.)Slow down the beat and rhythm OR B.) At some point they stop singing to catch their breath OR C.) Speed through a set of lyrics to catch up with the song. I say that to show how great Whitney was. She was on a level all her own. No one could touch her. She truly was the First Lady of Song. R.I.P. Whitney
***** We should always be grateful when someone covers a song of an artist we like. It's new exposure to people who might not know the song otherwise. I love her voice. The only other female version I liked was the glee duet. But the cover by Ben Rector was amazing for a guy's cover exposing a different side. This cover touched me.
william haywood I thought this was a good cover. Definitely slowed down, a LOT. Still, she lacks that richness of tone that Whitney had. Beautiful cover. Whitney's original was impeccable.
Jessie J is amazing! She made this song her own. && I'm not really impressed with a lot of others who try to cover Whitney's songs. However, the Background vocals were HORRIBLE
Sammy Pasa she was one of Whitneys favourite singers. Whitney said Christina Was the only one who could do justice to her song run to you other than herself. She clearly loved christinas voice and made it clear she was one of her favourites.
This song needs to be more "in your face" and everyone that covers it doesn't seem to get that. This song doesn't work when it's slowed down or softened.
Jessie is a great singer but her vocal style is more of a vocal acrobat meaning she uses heavy verbrato. Her voice lends more beautifully to soul R&B pop songs. Few singers can do both. Whitney could do both. Most pop songs do best with controlled tones. Jessie's best songs have that down south church gospel vibe. Both styles are good for the right voice....neither style is better than the other....they are just different
they both have range that is out of this world (Whitney in her prime Im refering to), What i notice with Jessie is that her voice is so powerful its almost uncontrollable, Quite a unique and incredible trait to have as a singer.
I didn't credit Jessie J as a creditable vocalist until I watched 'The Voice' and I realized what a huge fan she is of 'music' her enthusiasm for music is infectious. listening to her sing has changed my opinion of her she has a fantastic range, yes she gets carried away, but that's more to do with today's style. Without a doubt Jessie can saaang!!
It's amazing because i remember last year Whitney's daughter tweeted Jessie saying that she was showing her mum a bit of Jessie J and the both loved her.
剛看完《歌手2024》第五期 REACTION的路過～～Jessie J 的版本確實是更具律動性
+1
她真的對音樂的敏銳性相當專業+天才
Whitney is so proud of her song from where she is. I'm sure of that. Amazing version, Jessie. Pure and raw talent.
That high run at 2:23 was so creative and beautiful. Man it's surprising how many people don't know how talented she is.
Hahaha not even the backup singers were ready for that key change rofl! Amazing as always Jessie!
I have learnt that no matter how good u are at something, there will always be someone who would despise your talents.. just ignore the haters, jessie.. keep doing what you love doing, honey.. there are many good singers out there, but you are my favourite.. beautiful voice and beautiful personality
Her voice is soooo unmistakable
Beautiful! She is so underrated. Nobody can touch the perfection that was Whitney Houston, but Jesse J is up there with the X-tinas, Mariah, Aretha, etc. She is AMAZING live!! Especially now a days when it seems the younger generation have no regard for REAL vocalists, and get a hard on for flashy outfits, rotating bras, bubblegum backdrops and 100 dancers to distract the fact that the lead singer is butchering their own lyrics. Oh, and generation "big booty sells..." Go on with your bad ass self Jesse J!!! You rock!!!
Christine Poff I totally agree.
She did a better job than Whitney ,on this song
She did NOT sing it better than WH!!! No one sings Whitney's songs like Whitney!!!
She just did
Yea, you wish.
How can you not love her and her music. She is absolutely Mesmerizing is'nt she! Cheers and Beers Trevor!
listening to this on the night Whitney Houston died. A part of her lives on in Jessie...she was such a big influence on her. Rest in Peace Whitney.
never saw her resemblance with w. houston until now. the flexibility in her acrobatics. the ease....amazing
Her voice is freakin incredible, one of the best voices i have heard, respect Jessie J!
even with this she put her own twist on it and the song stills great ! got to love this girl !
She is just amazing! I am objessed. Her live performances are just so awesome.
Jessie has the most amazing voice and beautiful personality to match, I hope she sticks around for a very long time, the music industry needs someone like her.
NOTE: Even her back up singers clap when she's done. I had no idea Jessie J. could actually sing till I heard her sing live. This woman is unique, beautiful, and incredibly gifted. And she proves that not ALL music in the 21st century is crap.
Love her.
Omg jessie J you are Amazing baby OMG the best voice ever!!!
I LOVE her voice.
you cannot compare the 2, they are both great in their own ways and neither is better then the other
I love how she's not trying to imitate Whitney, but that she puts her own originality into the arrangement :)
Jessie is best singer on the world!!!

Jessie J shows a lot of creativity in this track. It's hard to cover Whitney Houston songs! She imitated some Whitney's style yet added her own. I enjoyed the performance. Good job!
The things her voice can do are astounding. It's so unique. It's freakish. It's amazing.

I've never had goosebumps in my legs, thank you Jessie J.

Jessie's got some Rockin' legs!!!
Jessie j is the real deal this girl is a mega star and will be around for years wowing us with her supreme talent go Jessie!
At 3:06 she made a smart move! Only those ones who know about music will understand what I mean lol, she did an excellent job!
Yeah I also heard that. Smart move indeed. She is a pro.
Lihle Mshengu I'm glad she did that otherwise she would've ruined a perfect performance.
+Ariel Fajardo lol
+Ariel Fajardo LOL... very smart choice.. ..
+Ariel Fajardo Yes, even after that, she smartly saved the breath and increased the dynamics of the whole arrangement at the penultimate chorus, and it allows her to perform excellently in hitting the last high note which is very breath-consuming! Bravo and Pro!

I'm sorry I absouletely hand on heart love Jessie so much and she's so amazing and this a good cover but nobody and I mean Nobody will ever come close to Whitney
Great singer
i love when she sings "ohhyeeeaaah", she saved it there, cause she heard that she was off, she's the best.
That's true ! Definately that training in ballet and musical theatre! Enhances so much Jessie's stage presence which is just awesome! I totally agree with what you have said!
ok i will tell you something about it i am a fan for whitney for ever tho i have just not the basics knowledge about music since i have studied music about many years. whitney's voice was Teh Voice BUT whitney build that Voice over the years till she was perfect and we are here to compare jessie with her.

One of my favourite performances from Jessie J
The only pop singer, post Xtina era who could come close, to sounding like Whitney, and as great live performer.
And this is why I love Jessie J, and I love Whitney Houston.........
Thank you both for amazing vocals and music,much love to Whitney and her family x0x

william haywood Thank you!
william haywood I thought this was a good cover. Definitely slowed down, a LOT. Still, she lacks that richness of tone that Whitney had. Beautiful cover. Whitney's original was impeccable.
2020 and there's not a better cover. I wish Jessie would redo it. This is perfect.
I want to hear her do this in 2017
she would kill it! This is really old, this is baby Jess
Here is her singing this in 2018: th-cam.com/video/xjLnsJMLHT8/w-d-xo.html
TALENT out of this world! Guess this proves there really isn't talent on the radio today. Their songs just dont show it off as much anymore
Jessie did a wonderful job...just don't watch this after watching Whitney's 1988 performance of this song lol
you are right!!!
Nelson Mandela's 70th Birthday or GRAMMY 1988 ?
cassandra cavalcante Grammy
She's wonderful!
Jessie J is amazing! She made this song her own. && I'm not really impressed with a lot of others who try to cover Whitney's songs. However, the Background vocals were HORRIBLE
yes i agree.. Jessie J is incredible.. I love her voice so much!
came here after watching AMA tribute for Whitney. Why Christina? Why not Jessie?
fredrik strøm because Whitney's family chose christina to do it. Christina was one of whitneys favourite singers.
Not one of Whitney's favourite singers but yea her family chose her to do it.
Sammy Pasa she was one of Whitneys favourite singers. Whitney said Christina Was the only one who could do justice to her song run to you other than herself. She clearly loved christinas voice and made it clear she was one of her favourites.
wow good godd memories of Whitney, thanks Jessie you are agrt singer and talented
2018
I love Jessie J. no matter what.
How i wish phebe n louise were there on back up vocals
I've seen this video I-don't-know how many times, but every time i do, it leaves me amazed! Good job Jessie!
Give the girl a break she is not trying to better Whitneys version of this song. She is honouring a great singer.
2018 i just discovered this superb singer..you go Jessie
3:08 the backup singers ruined that at the end..so jessie j has to adjust
finally found this song, the dance in some aerobics but was faster .. I imagine it to be this great singer. Super!
This song needs to be more "in your face" and everyone that covers it doesn't seem to get that. This song doesn't work when it's slowed down or softened.
They arent better or worse than each other, they both just have very different and unique voices! I love them both!
Jessie is a great singer but her vocal style is more of a vocal acrobat meaning she uses heavy verbrato. Her voice lends more beautifully to soul R&B pop songs. Few singers can do both. Whitney could do both. Most pop songs do best with controlled tones. Jessie's best songs have that down south church gospel vibe. Both styles are good for the right voice....neither style is better than the other....they are just different
Her voice is so powerful- I love it
Oh god. Those backup singers are awful
I adore her 😘
i love jessie j but this is supposed to be a party,/ happy song. what happened??
shes definitely got her own style and puts her twist on soul music. love her
of couse she is not good as Whitney but she can sing it pretty good. some people here only wants attention
they both have range that is out of this world (Whitney in her prime Im refering to), What i notice with Jessie is that her voice is so powerful its almost uncontrollable, Quite a unique and incredible trait to have as a singer.
Back ground singers sucks !
i dont know how she does it ! Amaze me Everytime!
Whitney was just so overrated. She is a legend. But vocally, Jessie J is a a better vocalist.
lol
hahaha bullshit
you know shit lol are u kidding? have u lost your fucking mind?
Lol
Can we please get this person a drug test
I didn't credit Jessie J as a creditable vocalist until I watched 'The Voice' and I realized what a huge fan she is of 'music' her enthusiasm for music is infectious. listening to her sing has changed my opinion of her she has a fantastic range, yes she gets carried away, but that's more to do with today's style. Without a doubt Jessie can saaang!!
She tried too hard to sound good, that it didn't "feel" good. Didn't feel any real emotion till the last some verses, but by then, the song was over.
cant get enough of this the replay button has set fire the amount of times i have used it! XD
her voice just seriously makes me smile
She's the Bomb!!!!! Love her!! X
It's amazing because i remember last year Whitney's daughter tweeted Jessie saying that she was showing her mum a bit of Jessie J and the both loved her.
Love her version too! That was great! Bravo!
ohhh, she's soo beautiful and she's the bestest singer ever!!
i love her rendition superb
JESSIE J!! she's my inspiration
- digam o que quiser, Jessie J é perfeita no que faz.
She absolutely love Whitney. She was devastated when she passed RIP Whitney :)
Essa sabe cantar viu,amo essa mulher meu Deus ❤️❤️❤️❤️ voz abençoada
i love her voice.
My goodness this lady has a powerful voice, but she is not overbearing like someother singers I can think of. Beautiful Jessie. Thank You.
