American Idol runner up Jessica Sanchez pays tribute to Whitney with the late legend's signature song, "I Will Always Love You." For more on Jessica Sanchez, click here: bit.ly/YkEzHk
Honestly people just love to hate she just said NOBODY can sing this song like Whitney.....she is just singing a song from the person that inspired her people c'mon ....this world is full of bitter angry hating people
How can people be do ignorant , she wasn't being racist she was giving Whitney a huge compliment by saying no one can song the song like Whitney not even herself . That Whitney is one of a kind .
Exactly! She is giving Whitney a tribute because that’s the person that inspires her. Ppl just need to enjoy the video for what it is and not compare or judge.
After featuring her here, why the hell is Billboard not including Jessica Sanchez in their "21 under 21" to watch list? She is the best new talent to hit the industry in a LONG time, and far superior to anyone out right now. Unbelievable.
The American Idol season 11 finale was rigged. Jessica Sanchez is the real winner. Because of this, American Idol's ratings have plummeted, and cancellation is in order next year.
JESSICA SANCHEZ! This 17-year-old young lady has amazingly beautiful voice. She sang "I will always love you" beautifully! Moreover she is a good person. She was very respectful and kind paying tribute to Whitney Houston. I think young Jessica will have a great career!
I was kind of shocked when you didn't win the American Idol. You are blessed with an incredible voice. Look at you now, you are a superstar. God bless you n may all your dreams come true. Much love n Success.🙏🧡💜🌟👏✌
I've never came out and said it...but...you are my idol...I've seen almost all your video's...if I see one I haven't seen then I watch it! I love to sing! I wish I could be brave enough to sing in front of people like you! Your my inspiration! I want to work towards singing in front of people like you so I can be just like you! Your amazing! I LOVE YOU!!! Sing on Girly!
I Can See The Passion, Heart & Struggle To Hold Back The Tears. Everything Jessica Is Feeling I See It In Her Eyes & Face, I Feel It Her Voice. Truly Emotional, Exceptionally Beautiful & Honorably Graceful. Whitney Houston Would Be Honored & Proud Of Such A Magnificent Performance.
oh my goodness!!!!! She is a wonderful, beautiful, great, fantastic, amazing singer! she sang this song so well. If only Whitney was here to hear this i think she would be so proud of her.
This girl can really sing..... I have listening of all the songs she sings and I cant find any wrong of her tone in any time!!!!! I am really love the voice that she have..... I say just wov to the voice! I love It......
I still think jessica should've won American Idol. NOT Phillip Phillips. I will forever be salty af about that. I mean Phillip is ok too but not compared to Jessica.
+Tyrande Whisperwind I don't know every Filipino and black person by name. Ugh I never said anything rude to anyone. some of y'all need to get a life and chill and think before you comment
It would be an honor to duet with her. I’d like to see male pop and R&B artists invite her in their albums as a duet partner. If she were a coach on The Voice, it would be an honor to audition, turn her chair around and be on her team.
Jessica Sanchez u sang that very beautiful,U keep smiling an singing always, Thanks for sharing ur music with us,Maria Martinez Austin Texas Jan an 2020
OMG!! Did Whitney Huston come from her grave and sang this song write now, or was this Jessica Sanchez? OMG once again, The first few seconds got me thinking that you were Whitney Huston for a second! lol. XD
Amazing but we can all agree its not Whitney is the QUEEN no one can do her perfectly she has a way with her voice that is just so beautiful and nobody can do that every body's voice is different from the rest nobody's voice is the same so no Whitney didn't come back from her grave. To many runs. Whitney kept it simple but amazing listen to the end does Jessica sound like Whitney NOO that makes me mad. ANYWAY great job ... APPARENTLY yall don't listen to Whitney enough NOO HATE ON JESSICA THO VOTED FOR HER WHEN SHE WAS ON AMERICAN IDOL LOVE HER
Because American white women feel extremely threatened by Asian women, and they most certainly should be. And Jessica appears to be Asian. Have you not notice that in the present day of political correctness in the western world that it is still open season on the exotic, ultra feminine, unparalleled beauty, of the Oriental female?
+Daniel Tyler That's probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard. No body cares what she is. Racism won't go away till people like you stop pulling the race card.
Her and Adam Lambert are (imho) the 2 biggest voices to have come out of American Idol since the start of the show. Too bad she is Phillipino and he is gay, cause they both SHOULD HAVE WON, but miserably this world is controlled by racists and homophobes. This is an OUTSTANDING rendition. Love her!
Finally, the perfect version. With all due respect, I was never a big Whitney fan. In her prime, her technical skills, and her sass on upbeat pop tunes, were undeniable. But she powered through the big ballads in a detached way, like a sheet of ice. Jesica Sanchez sings this with much more nuance and control. and allows real emotion to infused the lyrics and her musical choices. Phrasing is so important, something most young singers just don;t get. This girl gets it.
Because she dont have the right people behind her they give her water down boring material, she got skills in with the right people behind her can really be a star.
joseph sudler, sr. I'M WONDERING ABOUT THAT, TOO!!! SHE'S AMERICAN!!! BORN IN THE U.S. OF A..!!! WHY, WHY, WHY??? (Mother is a Filipina, father is a Mexican, both American citizens). HELLO, PRODUCERS!!! 🎶🎶🎶😄😄😄🍎🍎🍎🌻🌻🌻😍😍😍
oh my gosh Jessica was my idol since she was in american idol and now she has a lot of album and i love Jessica very much she also have an amazing voice WE LOVE YOU JESSICA SANCHEZ......
actually dolly gave the song to whitney and dolly doesn't take any credit for the song today she gives it to whitney, dolly sang it beautiful but she felt it was ment for a stronger voice.
And that us how american idol ruined their credibility by letting this girl lose to a white guy. When it is clearer than clear water who must won that title. Well anyway runner ups of that clown show is better than winners Jennifer hudson Tori kelly Jessica sanchez And such
She's amazing, but no amount of runs and note flicks and fast vibrato will ever match Whitney. No one can ever beat her. Ever. Whitney could sing the song straight toned without runs and still blow every other vocalist out of the water with the tone and size of her voice alone. I miss you, Whitney. We all do. RIP
Dolly Parton is the one who wrote and sang the song first then Whitney Houston covered it in 1992. if you don't believe me search it up on the internet on Wikipedia.
my god her vocal control and vibrato is just insane! pure talent!
Her vibrato was beautiful when she recorded this video, and it sounds even better now. Nice tribute to the late great Whitney.
Honestly people just love to hate she just said NOBODY can sing this song like Whitney.....she is just singing a song from the person that inspired her people c'mon ....this world is full of bitter angry hating people
***** yerp they are either jealous or just don't understand a word she said
You are so right! People these days hate to much!
How can people be do ignorant , she wasn't being racist she was giving Whitney a huge compliment by saying no one can song the song like Whitney not even herself . That Whitney is one of a kind .
Exactly! She is giving Whitney a tribute because that’s the person that inspires her. Ppl just need to enjoy the video for what it is and not compare or judge.
Jessica sings the best. Houston version is a disappointment. It is Dolly Parton's song anyway.
Jessica killed it. Whitney would be proud. I watched Jessica on idol and she should have won. Jessica has an amazing voice.
Greg Baca Yes, she should have won American Idol.
After featuring her here, why the hell is Billboard not including Jessica Sanchez in their "21 under 21" to watch list? She is the best new talent to hit the industry in a LONG time, and far superior to anyone out right now. Unbelievable.
JJAM they believe she is too classic
Super Cashdoll Interscope Records did her dirty.
she should've won american idol period! no questions ask!
Chris Matsumoto Better constipated! Hehehe!
Who won American idol?
The American Idol season 11 finale was rigged. Jessica Sanchez is the real winner. Because of this, American Idol's ratings have plummeted, and cancellation is in order next year.
I stopped watching after that
Yes, this is the general consensus of the American Idol XI finale.
pitch perfect, clear, spot on, beautiful, your absolutely stunning. made me teary eyed. love this.
In my opinion the best rendition of my favorite song from Whitney. Of couse no one can sing this like Whitney, but Jessica nailed it like no other!
JESSICA SANCHEZ! This 17-year-old young lady has amazingly beautiful voice. She sang "I will always love you" beautifully! Moreover she is a good person. She was very respectful and kind paying tribute to Whitney Houston. I think young Jessica will have a great career!
Very beautiful! I would love to hear a duet of Jessica and Whitney is she was still alive.

Shawn Akers wow you are so funny!
Thatt guy Shawn is an asssholleee!! he can go fuck himself. seriously Shawn Akers

This girl is good and way better then some known singers. Why hasn't she got a record deal.
What a magnificent miracle of creation. Jessica Sanchez Wow.
I was kind of shocked when you didn't win the American Idol. You are blessed with an incredible voice. Look at you now, you are a superstar. God bless you n may all your dreams come true. Much love n Success.🙏🧡💜🌟👏✌
She did not try to imitate Whitney, she just sang it as sincere as she could. You go girl!
You got it Girl 😉
When Jessica sang this song the first time, I fell in love with her gorgeous voice. She should have won!!! The most beautiful voice EVER on AI IMO.
this girl should have won hands down..
I've never came out and said it...but...you are my idol...I've seen almost all your video's...if I see one I haven't seen then I watch it! I love to sing! I wish I could be brave enough to sing in front of people like you! Your my inspiration! I want to work towards singing in front of people like you so I can be just like you! Your amazing!

I Can See The Passion, Heart & Struggle To Hold Back The Tears. Everything Jessica Is Feeling I See It In Her Eyes & Face, I Feel It Her Voice. Truly Emotional, Exceptionally Beautiful & Honorably Graceful. Whitney Houston Would Be Honored & Proud Of Such A Magnificent Performance.
oh my goodness!!!!! She is a wonderful, beautiful, great, fantastic, amazing singer! she sang this song so well. If only Whitney was here to hear this i think she would be so proud of her.

When she sings this song.. It still feels like Whitney Houston is still here
I still think jessica should've won American Idol. NOT Phillip Phillips. I will forever be salty af about that. I mean Phillip is ok too but not compared to Jessica.
+Angel Walker Phillip is an annoying hillbilly singer. If he hadn't won against HER, then I wouldn't have cared. But she shouldn't have lost.
+Angel Walker Omg I know right?!
+Ataraxia lmao no chill
+Angel Walker haha same
+Angel Walker move on madam.
i loved to hear Whitney sing this song . you just gave me chills . whitney would give u a standing ovation i believe !
Incredible very nice voice you sing this song beautifully I know Whitney is smiling down and is very proud
Not that many people can pull this song off! Awesome job Jessica holy crap I got the goose bumps!!
3:45 Is what we were all waiting for
Bruh Filipino and black people are the best singers by far. Period.
Thx😏😊 #FilipinoForLife 👊🏽
😛🙏💙
+Lucy swagger not all black people are american, that was ignorant and it's the black race
Ball is Life how about we just call each other by our names because we are all different
+Tyrande Whisperwind I don't know every Filipino and black person by name. Ugh I never said anything rude to anyone. some of y'all need to get a life and chill and think before you comment
No one can do it like Whitney, but goodness gracious was she close! Outstanding, beautiful voice.
This girl always gives the chills........ Breathtaking voice...
She should've won the title in American Idol!
I LOVE JESSICA SANCHEZ
When I think of Jessica Sanchez, I think of her as the girl who should've won American Idol XI instead of Phillip Phillips.
Exactly right!!!!
@@diagonally6400Thanks. It’s makes no sense to think Phillip deserved to win.
It's sad that she passed but she was the one that made me sing since I was little she inspired me to sing
she has been blessed with such an amazing voice
Her voice is so so so outta this world... just like an angel from heaven's own choir...
She is the best singer ever! I wish I had a voice like her! :-)
It would be an honor to duet with her. I’d like to see male pop and R&B artists invite her in their albums as a duet partner. If she were a coach on The Voice, it would be an honor to audition, turn her chair around and be on her team.
sht.. she give me goose bumps/
Omygod she is amazing! She did a great job with this song :)
Jessica Sanchez u sang that very beautiful,U keep smiling an singing always, Thanks for sharing ur music with us,Maria Martinez Austin Texas Jan an 2020
Whitney Huston music is one of the hardest to sing and most people can't. Jessica Sanchez you are an exception and sang this perfectly!!
Jessica was a MILLION times better than Phillips. But there's still a lot of prejudice out there, reflected in the voting.
OMG!! Did Whitney Huston come from her grave and sang this song write now, or was this Jessica Sanchez? OMG once again, The first few seconds got me thinking that you were Whitney Huston for a second! lol. XD
Am i right though?
aniya bussey yep
How is she so AMAZING!
Amazing but we can all agree its not Whitney is the QUEEN no one can do her perfectly she has a way with her voice that is just so beautiful and nobody can do that every body's voice is different from the rest nobody's voice is the same so no Whitney didn't come back from her grave. To many runs. Whitney kept it simple but amazing listen to the end does Jessica sound like Whitney NOO that makes me mad. ANYWAY great job ... APPARENTLY yall don't listen to Whitney enough NOO HATE ON JESSICA THO VOTED FOR HER WHEN SHE WAS ON AMERICAN IDOL LOVE HER
Luke Is Sasquatch oh maybe you didn't read my comment right , I said the first few seconds not the end 😊
How the fuck did she not win?
coz her opponent is good looking
sad to say but it is because she's from Philippines
Because American white women feel extremely threatened by Asian women, and they most certainly should be. And Jessica appears to be Asian. Have you not notice that in the present day of political correctness in the western world that it is still open season on the exotic, ultra feminine, unparalleled beauty, of the Oriental female?
+Daniel Tyler That's probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard. No body cares what she is. Racism won't go away till people like you stop pulling the race card.
I think everyone is asking this same thing... years later. AI is fixed, the winners are predetermined, there is NO contest.
What even made her version perfect was the speech and all the things she said. R.I.P Whitney she never stop singing she still is in heaven
jessica..jessica..jessica..just so impeccably perfect...she nailed it...more of jessica,please..bravo!!!!
Anyone from 2021? I'm still crying.
I literally teared up
Her and Adam Lambert are (imho) the 2 biggest voices to have come out of American Idol since the start of the show. Too bad she is Phillipino and he is gay, cause they both SHOULD HAVE WON, but miserably this world is controlled by racists and homophobes.
This is an OUTSTANDING rendition.
Love her!
Filipino
OMG!!!! I really agree with you! I've been a really big fan of Jessica and Adam. They're such a good performers but still never won AI :/
I COULD NOT AGREE MORE!! LOVE THEM!!
Let us not forget Carrie underwood!
Shelby Bowman Yeah, but she won the show...
Finally, the perfect version. With all due respect, I was never a big Whitney fan. In her prime, her technical skills, and her sass on upbeat pop tunes, were undeniable. But she powered through the big ballads in a detached way, like a sheet of ice. Jesica Sanchez sings this with much more nuance and control. and allows real emotion to infused the lyrics and her musical choices. Phrasing is so important, something most young singers just don;t get. This girl gets it.
This is the absolute best cover of I will always live you I have heard
very beautiful beautiful voice
Love this girl
Beautiful
i could hear her start to cry this just amazing BEAUTIFUL
i love you jessica
you dont need american idol to be the best
you naturally the best
why is she not famous
Because she dont have the right people behind her they give her water down boring material, she got skills in with the right people behind her can really be a star.
joseph sudler, sr.
I'M WONDERING ABOUT THAT, TOO!!! SHE'S AMERICAN!!! BORN IN THE U.S. OF A..!!! WHY, WHY, WHY??? (Mother is a Filipina, father is a Mexican, both American citizens). HELLO, PRODUCERS!!! 🎶🎶🎶😄😄😄🍎🍎🍎🌻🌻🌻😍😍😍
joseph sudler, sr. Because if she ain’t gettin naked, they won’t launch her. Sad but true for most artists.
She needs a Big break! A GREAT SONG THAT WILL MAKE HER FAMOUS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
anyone watching in 2016 ? 💓
Super LuckyMe 2017 here lol
josana lynn
More like 2017
Absolutely stunning. U go girl

goosebumps 😅😅😅
oh my gosh Jessica was my idol since she was in american idol and now she has a lot of album and i love Jessica very much she also have an amazing voice WE LOVE YOU JESSICA SANCHEZ......
She is my favorite American Idol contestant ever.
Lets get this right DOLLY PARTON WROTE THIS IN THE 1960'S NOT WHITNEY!!!!! WHITNEY COVERED IT
This is well know and Dolly sang it just as beautiful. Relax. Dial it back.
actually dolly gave the song to whitney and dolly doesn't take any credit for the song today she gives it to whitney, dolly sang it beautiful but she felt it was ment for a stronger voice.
Funny, someone made a comment in another thread that the Star-Spangled Banner was Whitney's song too.
NO actually dolly wrote it in the 70's when she left the porter wagner show!
Ben Brown I thought it was early 60's? hmmmmmm thanks for correcting me I know she wrote this for porter I knew that much im a huge dolly fan
She definitely did justice to Whitney's version!! It was flawless :' D
Did you ever notice that whenever she sings this, she always has a blue dress on?
Also, this is amazing!
Close to blue, but mostly purple
it's purple
Her voice was like an angel, like Whitney's voice, sent from God.
That brought be to tears you showed emotion and you sound go great for ur age
Beautuful
JESSICA just keep your feet on the ground and never forget where you from!!! or else that can lapse your career in this field!!!
And that us how american idol ruined their credibility by letting this girl lose to a white guy. When it is clearer than clear water who must won that title. Well anyway runner ups of that clown show is better than winners
Jennifer hudson
Tori kelly
Jessica sanchez
And such
She has a so powerful voice! I absolutely love her!
SHE IS. POWERFUL
She's amazing, but no amount of runs and note flicks and fast vibrato will ever match Whitney. No one can ever beat her. Ever. Whitney could sing the song straight toned without runs and still blow every other vocalist out of the water with the tone and size of her voice alone. I miss you, Whitney. We all do. RIP
Whitney could never perform her best to this song live, she was always coked up
if she could've got vocal lessons from Whitney Houston shed be untouchable
Ann D no one said about beating whitney. This is even a tribute to her.
Right she's not trying to be Whitney so.....
okay calm down public school
Who the fuck unlike this wonderful performance? -_______-
WHO'S HERE IN 2020?
I like this girl
you sing so well dear,through your talent whitney lives on and on
She sings soo great and she's 16 I think
this girl has talent but there is nothing to do with Whitney is a huge difference
she sang it better on idol, just my opinion
Yh she did
she has the best vocal in that part of the song and I....... so sweet!
She is goals !!
Dolly Parton is the one who wrote and sang the song first then Whitney Houston covered it in 1992. if you don't believe me search it up on the internet on Wikipedia.
sound better them Whitney 😍😍
no
Delete ur TH-cam
+Ha Ha her opinion bruh
+jdrews moonlight ...is wrong
+Ha Ha 😂😂💀
fucking amazing
i love the fact that your interpretation is about emotion not inmitation..i respect that. whitney is whitney.you sang it to your best with respect.💝
Wow! straight from the Soul! this song is certainly one of my top faves from whitney....you gave justice to it Jessica, amazing! Keep it up!
I reckon if she held the notes longer, she would sound basically the same as Whitney Houston 😍😍😍
