She kept the sweetness of Dolly's version, while including the power of Whitney's version, and all while making this performance distinctly Kelly. Just stunning.
@@usera1113 Agreed. Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, Hayley Williams and Amy Lee are those artists who deserve much more praise and acclaim that comes their respective ways.
This woman will go down in music history as a legend, and I'm glad to consider myself a fan. She beautifully merged both versions of the song while making it her own. This is how you sing a tribute song.
Can we acknowledge the fact that Kelly Clarkson was singing this song with no band at all, just a guittar, a piano and her raw voice! A song that requires so much vocal power and she did with such maestry and finesse. Every time i think, she can´t get better and then she just take to a whole other level. Kelly, YOU ARE A GODDESS.
I was team Kelly from the jump. I remember it almost like it was literally yesterday - my world was so big at the time. I surprised myself in picking what can only be described as a true persona grata respected worldwide for her vocal prowess. Congratulations Kelly, keep surprising us, PLEASE! (note: Despite album sales receipts, I consider Kelly the original, and best of all Idols.)
Totally agree. It's necessary the whole world start talking about Kelly, the same way we talk about Whitney, Mariah, Celiné, Barbra, Aretha and so others.
This song has been sung so many times and so often with the intention of showing off vocals that sometimes the sentimental lyrics are overshadowed by the singer. Kelly's such a powerful vocalist but always makes sure she's telling the story and I love her for it.
Kelly knows exactly where she wants to go with a SONG & how to get there. This timeless song is SO well known. She didn't belt, unless necessary. Didn't over sing, or put too many runs in. Beautiful & tasteful cover by ONE of the BEST ❗ I 💖 Kelly. She has instincts that you just can't teach. . . BRAVO Miss Clarkson 👏
A vocal genius. Kelly is a true vocalist. She made this song hers with some elements to pay tribute to Dolly AND Whitney simultaneously. All the while connecting with her audience. She's amazing.
She’s the reason I started watching American Idol. That first season I thought it was going to be a joke of a show, but boy I was wrong. She gave it credibility. I’ve been a die hard fan of her ever since. Now my granddaughters are as well. There’s literally nothing she can’t sing.
Kelly Clarkson is severely underrated. She needs to release multiple albums of her covers. She’s the only artist who can do it all and sound amazing. She proved her versatility on American Idol and continues to be the best to come from that show.
@@TheDrhacir she wasn't...I think what they mean is that Kelly CONTINOUSLY gets praised for being versitile (because she does COVERs of various genres). Christina has been doing this her entire career with each album/project and goes above and beyond to stay true to those who are in each genre. People just chose not to watch and/or listen. And as far as being diverse in idol, kind of hard not to be when each week has a theme... Not to mention that every song she did was either Aretha or something that Mariah had done.
@@tamyragraypromotions1678 I know she wasn’t. Christina is not underrated. She was huge back in the day. While she does explore outside of pop, Kelly has done far more beyond pop including musicals (Never Enough/All I Ask of You), country (Don’t you wanna stay), and rap (Lose Yourself) to name a few. Her execution and way of making it her own is unparalleled.
I'm not sure if there's a singer on this planet who is as versatile as Kelly Clarkson. One day she's singing Whitney, the next day she's singing My Chemical Romance or The Killers. Who else can do that??
Beth Hart. She is also a better song writer and instrumentalist than the current pop stars. She has covered songs by: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Aretha Franklin, Blood Sweat and Tears. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Etta James, Bobby Bland, Melody Gardot, Ella Fitzgerald, Gary Newman, Billie Holiday, Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones, Melissa Etheridge among others. She is more popular outside the U.S. Recently, her Led Zeppelin covers album reached number on on the UK rock chart.
She's a beautiful strong singer, but she missed a couple notes, as well as the piano seemed to rush her. She still sound good despite it having to chase the piano.
Let me say this: that Kelly has one of the best voices ever is something everybody agree... But we need to appreciate also the amazing writer she is... My goodness👌🏼
Raymond K....Kelly Clarkson is a great singer. But, this is not her own version of this song. This is Whitney Houston version. She sang this song exactly the way Whitney sung it at the World Music Awards in 1994. Look it up on TH-cam. But Kelly still is a great singer..
@@sofiadelpozosierralta2396 .....The original version by Dolly Parton was not sung like that. How do you think Whitney made it a worldwide hit for herself.
I thought this was going to be "another cute I Will Always Love You performance" but I'm so moved and mesmerised by her vocal control and emotional delivery. This performance was INSANE.
exactly my thought. She didn’t go all out Whitney with the runs. But we saw in Jimmy Fallons thats my jam that she can. She wanted to keep the lyric drive. dolly version too.
To all who are reading this, keep safe, don't lose heart, and stay strong. 2022 can be endured with resilience. During these turbulent times there is still hope in the middle of the fear. These are hopeful news, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16.

Don't let your heart be troubled. I wish everyone the best day
@@debco12 I know I shouldn't compare singers they're all amazing etc. but this is the first time I've really felt the emotion behind the song and I had a tear in my eye watching this. I loved Whitney but I think Kelly brings so much more to this song than her or anyone else I've heard.
Her vibrato is so freaking good. Her voice is so freaking good. Her pitch is so freaking good. I can't believe how incredible this is. KELLY IS SUCH AN AMAZING SINGER.
Randy Jackson on Kellys show “You were so good on the ACM’s with one of the hardest songs to sing in life…I’m telling you guys that’s how great she is” high praise indeed 👏
THE SUSTAINED BELTING. THE VOCAL ACROBATS IN THE “YOOUUuuUuUuuUU”. THE EASE AT WHICH SHE GOES FROM CHEST TO HEAD VOICE BACK TO CHEST. KELLY CLARKSON HAS THE BEST VOCALS OF OUR GENERATION AND IT ISN’T EVEN CLOSE. ✌🏽
I cringe every time I see someone is singing this song. Whitney touched every corner of my heart with her incredible gift. This is hands down the best cover version I’ve ever heard. Kelly is such a gifted vocalist. This was breathtaking. I enjoyed the way she moved between both renditions of this song and did not fall into the trap of over singing it.
This was a perfect tribute. Kelly has the rare required combination of the pipes, the control, and the humility needed to pay tribute to both Dolly and Whitney, two of the greatest the world has ever and will ever see. She didn't try to outdo Whitney in vocal acrobatics (I liked her understated, lower "please" before "don't you cry" - it was a perfect moment to leave space for us to hear Whitney's almost whistle note "please" in our memories) but she paid her respect by nailing a couple of Whitney's key vocal choices and making other parts almost conversational sing-song the way Dolly's version does. So many artists take an opportunity like this to make it about themselves, and Kelly always steps up to the moment with humility and grace. Love her.
I had the EXACT reaction! True artistry...but then again, I've been a fan since her AI audition. Seems like yesterday but has been 21 years!! Still here she is, proving we were right to crown her the winner...#kellyclarkson
@@jessicaresas847 she said the original comma (,) Whitney's and her own. They were referencing both versions so there's no need to correct them. They were already correct.
Is it just me or are people just not seeing the comma in your comment? They acknowledged that the original and Whitney's are not the same with the comma in between the original and Whitney's y'all. Get it together.
I studied voice as a college student, and I know how amazing it is that Kelly can sing so many styles with a wide vocal range and beautiful expression. I am retired and I love watching her show most days.
_It was the summer of 2002. I still can remember stumbling across this new show that people were talking about. Singers were competing live, and we at home got to phone in our votes to see who survived to the following week. I remember Justin, Nikki, Tamyra, Ryan… but there was this one girl from Texas. Holy cow, could she sing. She was on a completely different level…_ And here we are, twenty years later, and Kelly from Fort Worth is still humbly bringing down the house.
Kelly is the epitome of a Master. You're not going to top Whitney's version, so don't even try. Do what you do and make it YOUR OWN. Kelly is such an insane talent and truly under appreciated.
... not going to top Whitney's version, but also not going to top Dolly, or even Kelly. Each of them made the song their own (as they should.) This song was a hit long before the producers of The Bodyguard begged Whitney to sing it. And, yes, they had to beg her to do it, because she originally refused... because it was a 'country' song. Dolly even helped them with the arrangement and orchestration. All three of these talented ladies did a fantastic job with the song because the foundation... the song itself... is great.
It’s sad, she’ll get it and then be forgotten till she comes out and slays again. It’s so sad. But I guess more for me! I just love it when she gets the recognition she deserves.
I love everything about the way she sang this. She didn’t over sing it. Sincere, powerful, sweet and emotional. Whitney would have loved it. Kelley can sing for sure!
Kelly has always been my favorite Female singer, not just because of her voice, but her character. This really was a perfect performance to honor Dolly and remind us all of the epic power of Whitney.
Kelly is so down to earth. Its important to remember this was one of the biggest songs of the decade, almost twenty years before idol, back when Kelly was just a normal person. She killed it but shes right so say some songs shouldn't be covered. But she did that
She is so insanely talented. It’s not just her voice, it’s the emotion, the phrasing, and choices she makes when she sings a song. It just all comes together into something that hits you right in your soul. Just gorgeous 👏👏👏 She’s amazing.
Oh, my sweet Lord- the way she hits the word “joy” at 02:15 is giving me all the feels. She will always be my number one “Idol” and I will always love her…
Kelly is so underestimated! This girl can SAAAAAANG! She let's the words and story of the song play the star rather than trying to do all the vocal aerobics like other artists. And don't get it twisted, she can do the runs, flips, dives, highs, lows, etc., etc., etc., but she knows she doesn't need to. Kelly is fire! Yasssss Queen!
Am I the only one who absolutely loves her voice cracking at the word "joy"? 😍 My dream is to sing one day with you, Kelly! Amazing rendition. Thank you so much to life for you!!!! 💟💟💟💟
It's been 10 years since Whitney passed; it's been almost 50 years since Dolly wrote this song. To make someone cry again listening to these lyrics is so difficult, but Kelly... I'm crying like a baby, because you meant every word. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Kelly has always been THE "Idol"; combining the sweetness of the girl next door with the power, charm and charisma of some of the world's best singers. Well, she IS one of the world's best singers, with a nearly 20-year career and millions of records sold to prove that. She also proves that less is more, as this scintillating take on a standard proves. With piano, acoustic guitar and her searing, keening voice, Kelly reaches through time and space to make the listener FEEL and THINK. Her voice is crystal clear yet emotively charged, and if you're not shedding a tear after this, I wonder if you have a heart at all.
I’ve been following her for nearly 20 years, and to this day she overwhelms me with her vocal abilities. She’s always progressing and improving. I’m such a proud fan 🥲
WOW. Kelly hit it out of the park with this. Absolutely a beautiful cover of this song. Gave me goosebumps throughout the whole song. Whitney would’ve loved Kelly singing this song
@@xbutterfly1986x I'm using this medium to appreciate and thank you for your continuous support and prayers throughout my movie 🎥 career once again thank you! Hope you don't mind where exactly are you from?
Can you believe this song has been a # 1 hit in the 1970's, 1980's, and the 1990's. Did you know Dolly made Country Music history by taking the same song by the same artist to # 1 twice ??? !!!!! ! She also achieved a top 10 hit with it as a duet !!!!!!!!
Kelly sings this with tenderness and just the right amount of embellishment. I guess comparisons to Whitney are unavoidable, but Kelly does justice to the song in her own way.
Let’s be very clear no one and I mean absolutely no one has can or will sing this song better than Whitney Houston. And I don’t care how much respect Kelly put on it. And yes I also saw when she sang this song against a battle with Ariana Grande and that was good but surly not great as Whitney who has song this song effortlessly in over a 100 different versions. Whitney’s voice was in instrument. That’s the difference. Big facts!
@@kekhriezao Me too, Whitney’s was a little overkill in my opinion (very subjective, I know) to the point where the message was too overshadowed by the vocals. I find the best songs are when the vocals and the message meet 😀.
She did that very well. As she ages, her control and purposefullness grows. She is truly blossoming into one of the greatest female vocalists of all time.
I love this woman!! Her voice is undeniable and she never uses her platform to demean others. Kelly is beautiful and once again has proven that she can sing anything! She is as versatile as they come!!
You can feel the emotion in this song and she really didn't over-do it with her power, which was perfect. She let the song itself be the star. Kelly is a phenomenal artist. One of the greats of our time!
She kept the sweetness of Dolly's version, while including the power of Whitney's version, and all while making this performance distinctly Kelly. Just stunning.
I agree. It’s a perfect mashup.

I just came from that video too. I have goosebumps. I love how Dolly first heard Whitney's version. Beautiful song.

Which is interesting that Dolly Parton wrote this song and she isn't known for having a huge voice.

@@debco12 I know I shouldn't compare singers they're all amazing etc. but this is the first time I've really felt the emotion behind the song and I had a tear in my eye watching this. I loved Whitney but I think Kelly brings so much more to this song than her or anyone else I've heard.
Her vibrato is so freaking good. Her voice is so freaking good. Her pitch is so freaking good. I can't believe how incredible this is. KELLY IS SUCH AN AMAZING SINGER.
She nailed every freakin note!! There is nothing she can't sing!!!
you're freakin right!
Pitch also? she sounds pitchy all the time to me
You need a hearing aid then
I have perfect pitch and can confirm that all of her notes were within 1 cent of being perfect. 1 cent! That's unheard of.
Would kill to get to meet her in person, so talented, so down to earth❤❤❤
Randy Jackson on Kellys show “You were so good on the ACM’s with one of the hardest songs to sing in life…I’m telling you guys that’s how great she is” high praise indeed 👏
And she only knew the night before this was the song they wanted her to do !! Amazing
It's amazing how she can do this amazing performance and not know until the day before the ACMs. Love her!!
A true talent!
@@valarielambrecht4734 what? really?
The voice of this generation.. she didn't sing it like dolly or whitney... but did both proud.. thats how it's done ✔️
THE SUSTAINED BELTING. THE VOCAL ACROBATS IN THE “YOOUUuuUuUuuUU”. THE EASE AT WHICH SHE GOES FROM CHEST TO HEAD VOICE BACK TO CHEST. KELLY CLARKSON HAS THE BEST VOCALS OF OUR GENERATION AND IT ISN’T EVEN CLOSE. ✌🏽
she is the best!!!!! ❤
Then you haven't seen Morissette Amon.
@@romyeohgarrido5558 Yes, she is awesome as well. Quite beautiful I might add.
@@romyeohgarrido5558 Kelly is so much better than her lol
@@hannahmaedamgo5061 in your wildest dream my dear.
I cringe every time I see someone is singing this song. Whitney touched every corner of my heart with her incredible gift. This is hands down the best cover version I’ve ever heard. Kelly is such a gifted vocalist. This was breathtaking. I enjoyed the way she moved between both renditions of this song and did not fall into the trap of over singing it.
Agreed 190%
Hands down the best cover if you don't consider Whitney's version a cover, right? 🤔😉
Hands down the best cover if you don't consider Whitney's version a cover, right? 🤔😉
Whitneys was a good cover version too
Thinking Whitney’s was the original 😂😂😂😂
Whew! 👑Kelly is simply THE BEST!! And I'll never get tired of saying this. FLAWLESS!
Wow, I love this version! ❤️
Agreed! She can do any genre and always pull it off.
This was a perfect tribute. Kelly has the rare required combination of the pipes, the control, and the humility needed to pay tribute to both Dolly and Whitney, two of the greatest the world has ever and will ever see. She didn't try to outdo Whitney in vocal acrobatics (I liked her understated, lower "please" before "don't you cry" - it was a perfect moment to leave space for us to hear Whitney's almost whistle note "please" in our memories) but she paid her respect by nailing a couple of Whitney's key vocal choices and making other parts almost conversational sing-song the way Dolly's version does. So many artists take an opportunity like this to make it about themselves, and Kelly always steps up to the moment with humility and grace. Love her.
Very well put. Thank you for articulating this so well.
🤮
So well said.
@@user-rt3ns3dn7wyea You’re sick!
I'm in tears! I love her so much! She is a true natural treasure !! 3:18
I like how she tried tied in elements of the original, Whitney's version and still did something of her own
I had the EXACT reaction! True artistry...but then again, I've been a fan since her AI audition. Seems like yesterday but has been 21 years!! Still here she is, proving we were right to crown her the winner...#kellyclarkson
She also tied in some of Dolly's version too!
The original version is Dolly's then came Whitney's. But yes you could tell she was respecting Dolly as this was a tribute to her.
@@jessicaresas847 she said the original comma (,) Whitney's and her own. They were referencing both versions so there's no need to correct them. They were already correct.
Is it just me or are people just not seeing the comma in your comment? They acknowledged that the original and Whitney's are not the same with the comma in between the original and Whitney's y'all. Get it together.
I studied voice as a college student, and I know how amazing it is that Kelly can sing so many styles with a wide vocal range and beautiful expression. I am retired and I love watching her show most days.
🙄
Well said.
Love this arrangement. It’s DOLLYS and WHITNEYS all in ONE version.
_It was the summer of 2002. I still can remember stumbling across this new show that people were talking about. Singers were competing live, and we at home got to phone in our votes to see who survived to the following week. I remember Justin, Nikki, Tamyra, Ryan… but there was this one girl from Texas. Holy cow, could she sing. She was on a completely different level…_
And here we are, twenty years later, and Kelly from Fort Worth is still humbly bringing down the house.
I voted for this queen who continues to slay everything she sings. Yaaaasssss 👸👑 please make a live cover album!
I remember it well. everyone was talking about Tamara Gray but I knew kelly was the one to watch
@Rex Racer your words brought me right back to that time and how I felt...exactly as you said it. You, I believe, are a storyteller.
Has it been that long? Seems like a few days ago.
Why American Idol season one is my favorite show of all time giving us Kelly!
The perfect blend of Dolly and Whitney's versions - well done Kelly! well done!
I dont care what anyone says, kelly is the best singer of all time.
Her voice is very versatile. And the talent is out of this world! And let alone her great personality.
Damn. 2 decades have passed since she came into the scene, and she still got THAT magic in her 💥
th-cam.com/video/3I8OmXsSUDY/w-d-xo.html
Kelly has that angelic finesse & fiery lioness to pull this off while making it look easy🙌
This beautiful lady cannot sing a bad song. Such a God given talent.
🎉 bless you Kelly 😊❤
She literally mixed Dolly and Whitney version into 1. My dream finally came true 🥺🥺🥺😢😢
Kelly is the epitome of a Master. You're not going to top Whitney's version, so don't even try. Do what you do and make it YOUR OWN. Kelly is such an insane talent and truly under appreciated.
Agreed and in the country world Dolly’s but Kelly did her own thing and that is how she should do it.
😂😂😂.
... not going to top Whitney's version, but also not going to top Dolly, or even Kelly. Each of them made the song their own (as they should.) This song was a hit long before the producers of The Bodyguard begged Whitney to sing it. And, yes, they had to beg her to do it, because she originally refused... because it was a 'country' song. Dolly even helped them with the arrangement and orchestration.
All three of these talented ladies did a fantastic job with the song because the foundation... the song itself... is great.
I truly agree she has that voice.
@@stepanova8 Whitney's nickname is "The Voice". So.....NO she made the song her own
That vocal trick she did while singing the "and I'm wishing you joooy" part ... OH MY GOD!
Yes, the break in her voice 🙌
Kelly is absolutely beautiful. Every song she sings she brings power and perfect tone. I love that she covered Dolly’s version.
I’m so glad she’s finally getting the attention she has so deserved! Her voice gives me chills!

It’s so sad. But I guess more for me! I just love it when she gets the recognition she deserves.

I love everything about the way she sang this. She didn’t over sing it. Sincere, powerful, sweet and emotional. Whitney would have loved it. Kelley can sing for sure!
Don't forget about Dolly !!!
Beautiful and powerful
@@dwainekeller8493 In So Many Ways, Without A Doubt !!!!!!
This ain’t Whitney song
@@kewlness40 I know Dolly wrote and sang it too! Thx
Kelly has always been my favorite Female singer, not just because of her voice, but her character. This really was a perfect performance to honor Dolly and remind us all of the epic power of Whitney.
Kelly is so down to earth. Its important to remember this was one of the biggest songs of the decade, almost twenty years before idol, back when Kelly was just a normal person. She killed it but shes right so say some songs shouldn't be covered. But she did that
She is so insanely talented. It’s not just her voice, it’s the emotion, the phrasing, and choices she makes when she sings a song. It just all comes together into something that hits you right in your soul. Just gorgeous 👏👏👏 She’s amazing.
Oh, my sweet Lord- the way she hits the word “joy” at 02:15 is giving me all the feels. She will always be my number one “Idol” and I will always love her…
Don't care what anyone says, this woman is the real deal
How anyone could disagree, is beyond me !!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
The great Kelly Clarkson honoring the super great Dolly Parton.
What a beautiful rendition ! Kelly CAN SING!!!!!! Girls amazing!
I feel like she’s singing straight from the heart. Besides her massive amount of talent, that’s my favorite thing about her.

The fact that she did this ICONIC performance not long after her divorce makes you notice a sense of sincerity in her vocals. Amazing!
it was Mar h 22.
*People don't realize how STRONG Kelly Clarkson is at singing* 👏🏼❤️
There’s not one song this beautiful woman can’t sing. Period…. Her voice is so amazing
Yes true!! Such a lovely voice!
How are you doing Laurien?
Kelly is so underestimated! This girl can SAAAAAANG! She let's the words and story of the song play the star rather than trying to do all the vocal aerobics like other artists. And don't get it twisted, she can do the runs, flips, dives, highs, lows, etc., etc., etc., but she knows she doesn't need to. Kelly is fire! Yasssss Queen!
Underestimated by who??
She is big already. No one underestimated or underrated her!
???
She is a superstar! Sells out arenas, has a emmy award winning TV show! She is not underestimated
Theeeee BEST American Idol ever!!!
Am I the only one who absolutely loves her voice cracking at the word "joy"? 😍
My dream is to sing one day with you, Kelly! Amazing rendition. Thank you so much to life for you!!!! 💟💟💟💟
No you’re not! It’s almost like a little whistle note! So perfect!
She got right out of it the second it happened and I loved it!
It could be intentional
It added a layer of emotion to the lyric . Idky but it made it so much better than if it was perfect.
I was like .. wait she just cracked but it sounded like pain, a pretty pain so it worked .. How that be the case? How does cracking actually work? Lol
It's been 10 years since Whitney passed; it's been almost 50 years since Dolly wrote this song. To make someone cry again listening to these lyrics is so difficult, but Kelly... I'm crying like a baby, because you meant every word. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Kelly has always been THE "Idol"; combining the sweetness of the girl next door with the power, charm and charisma of some of the world's best singers. Well, she IS one of the world's best singers, with a nearly 20-year career and millions of records sold to prove that. She also proves that less is more, as this scintillating take on a standard proves. With piano, acoustic guitar and her searing, keening voice, Kelly reaches through time and space to make the listener FEEL and THINK. Her voice is crystal clear yet emotively charged, and if you're not shedding a tear after this, I wonder if you have a heart at all.
Bawling…. I agree
I couldn't agree more. Nicely spoken
Perfect description
When Dolly says it's good, it's good!
I’ve been following her for nearly 20 years, and to this day she overwhelms me with her vocal abilities. She’s always progressing and improving. I’m such a proud fan 🥲
*Kelly Clarkson on dating Ariana Grande **th-cam.com/video/wJ9XFlM52BE/w-d-xo.html* the news is *shocking*
Yess, crazy how she never stops honing her craft. The fact that she sounds way better than her 20s is legendary.

It feels like a throwback to those early American Idol days when you just KNEW you were in the presence of someone truly outstanding! And she IS!!
WOW. Kelly hit it out of the park with this. Absolutely a beautiful cover of this song. Gave me goosebumps throughout the whole song. Whitney would’ve loved Kelly singing this song
This song was written and recorded by Dolly Parton then redone for a movie by Whitney but Dolly is definitely the one who should be proud 😇
It’s Dolly’s song.

A singer's singer. She had that start-studded crowd starstruck.
Omg her voice cracks so perfectly that it adds to the emotion of the moment. This is STUNNING!
Please don’t blaspheme God’s name. God bless you.
Kelly's voice gives me Chills everytime. Dolly Parton wrote a beautiful classic timeless song with this one!
Can you believe this song has been a # 1 hit in the 1970's, 1980's, and the 1990's. Did you know Dolly made Country Music history by taking the same song by the same artist to # 1 twice ??? !!!!! ! She also achieved a top 10 hit with it as a duet !!!!!!!!
Kelly is the best vocalist of our generation.
Carrie U. Is also, her voice is so clear and you can hear every syllable in every lyric she sings.
I completely agree
Kelly sings this with tenderness and just the right amount of embellishment. I guess comparisons to Whitney are unavoidable, but Kelly does justice to the song in her own way.
She could have blown the roof off the joint, but she showed respect to the ladies who came before her... I love it so much! ❤️
Let’s be very clear no one and I mean absolutely no one has can or will sing this song better than Whitney Houston. And I don’t care how much respect Kelly put on it. And yes I also saw when she sang this song against a battle with Ariana Grande and that was good but surly not great as Whitney who has song this song effortlessly in over a 100 different versions. Whitney’s voice was in instrument. That’s the difference. Big facts!

@@rjj5995 subjective comment. I heard Whitney's and funny enough, I prefer Kelly's
@@kekhriezao Me too, Whitney’s was a little overkill in my opinion (very subjective, I know) to the point where the message was too overshadowed by the vocals. I find the best songs are when the vocals and the message meet 😀.
@@rjj5995 no one’s saying she’s better than whitney.
Kelly's vibrato is God Tier.
She did that very well. As she ages, her control and purposefullness grows. She is truly blossoming into one of the greatest female vocalists of all time.
Killed by that KELLY ❤
I love this woman!! Her voice is undeniable and she never uses her platform to demean others. Kelly is beautiful and once again has proven that she can sing anything! She is as versatile as they come!!

Ugh 😩 I would CRY if I could go to her concertt I swear Kelly is so damn underrated
I went to her Meaning of Life tour two years ago and it was AMAZING. I was in awe the entire time. 😭🤍
I’ve seen her 4 times. If you can ever get to one please go. It’s great
I went to two of them back in the breakaway era. In one of them she was ‘sick’ and was still vocally ridiculous.
I love how she incorporated both versions into it. Whitney is watching from heaven while Dolly was backstage. Truly iconic!
th-cam.com/video/FYBj90MdkTo/w-d-xo.html hh
Few are worthy of this gem. Bravo.
You can feel the emotion in this song and she really didn't over-do it with her power, which was perfect. She let the song itself be the star. Kelly is a phenomenal artist. One of the greats of our time!
She sang this song with such confidence and heart and soul. Kelly, you rocked it!
What heart wrenching rendition……😭😭😭
She did that 😊🎉❤
Outstanding performance Kelly! ❤️🇨🇦
I have no words except: THAT VIBRATO.
