I am grateful to Annie for giving this song to Whitney. Whitney's version carries me through many storms of life.
you too?
Both Annie Lennox and Whitney Houston were blessed with amazing voices.
I'd first heard Whitney's version and loved it. Years after I heard Annie's version and was amazed, I love this version much more. Whitney's version is more positive, lyrics carry more positive messages and even sadder lines are sung in a joyful manner. These make that version somehow unnatural, it becames something like a silly friend giving depressed you advices "to be positive, to believe in yourself blah blah". But Annie's version have a lot of sadness, hurt, depression in it, it makes you feel all the hurt and sadness, hopelessness inside, then it lifts you up from inside, makes you feel the power and hope in you and does this without "inspirational" shouting and supportive screaming, it speaks to you calmly like your inner voice ("I've got the will to guide me Just where I want to go").
@@ziggyvusal totally agree with you. I prefer the original version much better. I felt Whitney's version was not very heartfelt whereas Annie's version was. I understand why Annie gave this song to Whitney because Whitney could do something good with it but I was not impressed with Whitney's effort for this song.
I love this song so much 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
Annie doesn't allow just anybody to use her songs... she wanted it to be more inspirational & knew Whitney would slay it
Yeah
Yes no doubt only Whitney Houston

Whitney and Annie killed it. The world is a little bit better with two great versions of a great song.
*_Great Song. Greetings from Germany/Bavaria:_*
I love Whitney’s version of this. But Annie Lennox’s version is also fantastic.
Nothing more powerful than a writer singing her own words.
This is the best version. It gives me life. The arrangement is wonderful.

@@ziggyvusal Yes, I agree. I have similar thoughts and feelings about the song.
@@ziggyvusal Humans are not robots. Each of us require different things to carry on. If I'm hurt and sad, I don't want a song to make me feel it more. Some do. So be it. That's why it's great to have a variety of singers and their interpretations of songs. The thing you may find "unnatural" may be what someone finds healing. Whereas I prefer Whitney's version for the role it played in the needs I had at the time of its release, I greatly appreciate the original. Nevertheless.... Singing with encouragement and projecting the voice with a gospel style are often mistaken for singing joyfully, shouting, or screaming. Nowhere does Whitney scream or shout in this song. That's a load of nonsense. Whitney sings with power and was known for her ability to project her voice with clarity.
No doubt about it, Whitney gave this song wings. I love Whitney's version, but Ms.Annie wrote the words and for me, it means more, to hear Annie singing this song.
Both artists are so brilliant! I would have loved for these two ladies to work together more often. I Think it would have been good for Whitney too. She was very unhappy..Annie sure could have helped her.
What an amazing songwriter Annie is !!!
The Two Versions, Beautiful 👍
The Original & The Cover.
Annie & Whitney 👏👏👏
I was today years old when I found out this was originally an Annie Lennox song. 😍
I just now learned it was originally an annie lennox song
I wish Annie would record a soul album. She is so super talented
I love both versions of this song. Sang by two of my favourite female singers. Whitney and Annie. I had the pleasure of meeting Annie in Watford. I also met Whitney in Vegas back in 2007. Almost fainted on both occasions.
Annie is a genius songwriter
Thanks Annie for giving the song to Whitney..she gave life to this song..it is my personal BEST of Whitney..to see her come alive when she sing it is AMAZING!!!!!!!
I agree. I just listened to Whitney's version this morning. Still so uplifting for me.
Annie is such a great soul
This is and has always been my favorite Annie song. It was a shame Whitney left so many lyrics out. This song keeps me going when I need strength.
One of my favorite Annie songs love it especially because of the lyrics
I'm a big fan of this lady. Love Ms. Annie Lennox. I prefer this more than the remake by Whitney.
Any fans of Whitney would know that Annie did the original but I never listened till 2day. Prefer Whitney more energy and spiritual but that doesn't mean I don't love Annie
Annie is a true gift. Thank you for uploading.
Beautiful version
Anyone else doing Whitney’s ad-libs to this ? Come on baby got to keep movin ..
A great legendary artist songwriter, and singer The one and only "Annie Lennox '. She gave this song To The Legendary DIVA Superstar " Whitney Houston"
A very catchy tune! I love it too!
So funny I wasn't always a Whitney fan, then I heard this song and loved it! No wonder it was an Annie song.........of course 😍
Happy Birthday Annie!
@divataj This was a Japanese bonus single from the album, Diva.
I love it!!
No background vocals that's Miss Annie she's a choir in her own very beautiful
@youturbia1 Lol... Thank you for all your nice comments. I sure appreciate them. Awesome Annie indeed! Have a great weekend my PT. Peace and love to you.
Annie Lennox is a Game Changer && a Genius. but Whitney's version of this for me is just.. :O !! That spiritual, gospel, feeling and energy she gives, is like no Other (:
#SoUplifting

Ok how many tomes fo you gave to repost this comment? We get it, you're in love with Annie Lennox...but she ain't touching Whitney Houstons voice, soulful singing, and impeccable delivery, and I'm sure she know it. That's ehy she gave the song and trusted Whitney wuth it.
Hello Christine. This song is contagious! I love this song, it is from my favorite album of all time. Most people are familiar with Whitney's version, but you know which one I prefer. I wish you much happiness and good health this year.
@michaimeskinsek I couldn't agree with you more. Annie has an innate ability to generate energy and she is certainly a beautiful human being. :)
Love it! :D
Back in the day, I recall myself quite distinctly reading through the “THANK YOU” notes on Whitney Houston's «The Preacher's Wife» album leaflet, taking for granted that Mrs. Lennox name would -no doubt- show up at any moment... 🙄😒
I can't help but wonder how much it would have costed to add another name to that list. 🤨
@otoleya Thank goodness it was on The Annie Lennox Collection Deluxe Edition! I love this tune.
I love Whitney, but this version is better. Better lyrics and overall vibe.
I agree !

@@ziggyvusal stop with the copy paste abuse
@@yepitsmefolks8958 stop sith nonsence comments.
I love this. I can’t find this song on iTunes.
Love Both Annie & Whytney Singing It... But Annie Is A Scotts Lassie So Im Going With Annie. Cuz Scotts Lassies Stick Together. Haha. 😀😀
Scots, not Scotts.
Annie sang backing vocals on Whitneys version both songs are amazing both fantastic singers legends and Divas !
This original version is as Classic as *Whitney's*
@skattbro Yes! Happy Birthday Annie!
@pseudonym1964 Thank you. My pleasure. Annie is pretty great.
@Eurythmicsfan Thank you Anya. Happy Easter to you too, my dear. And Annie will always get the credit she deserves, when I post her music.
@itritsch Thank you Ingrid, lol. I know you are disappointed. Maybe some day these record companies will see that we are promoting their artists. And wouldn't more people buy the music if more people could listen to it?
How genious should be the Diva album if such great song was only a B-side?
I cannot find this on Spotify!!!
@qarahiyo It is, after all, Annie's song! Whitney's version is great and the one most are familiar with. For me, I prefer Annie's version=)
be honest
unless you are deaf, Whitney's version is just a classic
What album is this song on?
@bidibi83 this song never was included into "Diva" (not only in french)...
Folks, Stephen Lipson produced Whitneys version. She (Whitney) only has to sing it.
Stephen L gave this great rhythm to the song, not Whitney herself.
I just see why the song didn't work for Annie Lennox and was thankfully refined beautifully for Whitney Houston for The Preacher's Wife in 1996. Hearing what it was going to be for Annie Lennox would've been a throwback to The Eurythmics days.
This is hundred times better than whiteney houstons version.
Love Annie but Whitneys version is superior. Annie made the right choice letting her record it x
Anne sent the song to Whitney because she didnt like what she recorded and thought Whitney would do better job.
litalover19 You are right. I write lyrics myself. Other people can sing something so great an make it unique. It depends on the song an artist. You know as an artist what you can an can't do.
Whitney Houston did it much better by leaps and bounds.
Don't know about that! Annie's song! Whitney's version is awesome, but by leaps and bounds? Don't think so!
CARMSFAV Who cares what you think. The numbers are on my side. You cannot possibly honestly try to compare Annie's average voice to Whitney's....get real with yourself. Annie was a ok singer and Whitney is the "GOLD STANDARD" of voices.
DaOrigTruthSeeker Wow! Looks like someone is cranky. Everyone has an opinion, and my opinion is Annie's version is better. Something special about the writer singing her own words, gives the song much more meaning. Can't compare to Annie! No disrespect to Whitney, but I find an artist that writes the words and then sings them, is more relatable. Hey, by the way, I don't give a rats ass what you think either! Go troll somewhere else.
CARMSFAV You have a right to your opinion i don't take issue with that.
DaOrigTruthSeeker average voice? A. R. E. Y. O. U. T. O. N. E. D. E. A. F?
This original is VERY bland compared to Whitney's version. 👎🙈
@Google User Yeah
