True, but there are also some young people like our son who didn't have TV or internet till he went onto Australia's Got Talent and the interviewer likened him to Tom Cruise...his response...."who's he?" True story. th-cam.com/video/B-AT_Kg5d48/w-d-xo.html but the young men in the video above are young lions!!
But there is and the reason is the radio stations are play all that damn rat Mumble rap disgusting foul language music and that they are playing or R&B song it's the same one over and over and over.
@twilliger123 She was the one person who could do something like that. She did so for the recording of the USA national anthem! As for this one... well, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened that way as well
Let's give Mrs Dolly Parton her praise too. She wrote this song. She actually said that Whitney sang it better than she did, and she wrote it. Thank you Mrs Dolly for the song.
I love Whitney's version; the soul and technicality of it but there's something about the guitar intro of Dolly's original that gets me immediately. Both of them are perfect enhancements of the stories they are the soundtrack to; Whitney with the big epic love and Dolly's is softer and more bittersweet...more platonic. Whitney emphasises the passion while Dolly emphasises the sadness. This is one of those rare examples where my favourite version of the song depends on what mood I'm in.
Kevin Costner said she walked in and just did the song. Everyone on set made no noise and at one point she glances at the director and tben carries on. Perfect take. No retake done.
Dolly said, “When I wrote that song, it did well and I put some money in the bank. After Whitney sang it, I bought the bank!!” The higher the hair, the closer to God. AMEN!
@@josephdockemeyer6782 Absolutely. I for one will NEVER forgive him for that. I blame him for her disappearance, her no longer performing and her death. And yet, he's still walking around. Just isn't fair.
There isn't a female lead vocal better than this and probably won't ever be. The control and manipulation over her voice paired with her soul and feel for music is just unparalleled
You should listen to Dolly's version too. She wrote this song as a farewell to her friend and music partner Porter Wagoner when she decided to leave his show and concentrate on her solo career. Dolly sings it from the perspective of leaving a friend, while Whitney's version is about the end of a romantic relationship.
Elvis wanted to to record the song but only on account that she would sell the song to him. Dolly left allot of money on the table back then but I'm sure this version more than made up for it.
The guy in the background said, right in the beginning, that it gave him goosebumps. Then when it ended he said he wanted to hear it again. Good for you young man.
Choir teacher here. You’d be surprised at the amount of middle schoolers who’ve never heard of Whitney Houston- so guess who we’re talking about tomorrow? 😁
I know I don’t care what anyone says Whitney’s voice is one of a kind her voice nobody can do it’s just amazing and even if someone does sing that tone it still won’t be the same
While watching these guys just now, I had a realization that my generation was TRULY blessed to have grown up with and witnessing the supreme talent and excellence of Whitney Houston. I remember being a young teenager and getting so excited when her first music video “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” came on MTV for the first time. I’ve always appreciated and loved her, but now I realize how much I’ve taken her for granted. I’m going to open a bottle of wine and start playing my Whitney CD’s.....because I can. I’m just so grateful that I wasn’t born a hundred years ago and missed out on the wonderful experience of hearing her sing.
You know it! This song especially gives me goosebumps. The movie The Bodyguard came out right after I turned 18 and I remember seeing it in the theater. Her voice is so magical and powerful that it is hard not to be transported back in time. Such a shame that she fell into drugs. A talent taken way too soon! Funny these kids had never heard it. Loved that they also felt the power in her vocals.
@@PsychoElou666 She did. I don't think it was just business, Dolly genuinely loves and appreciates the way other musicians can re-express her songs. One of the artistic rewards of being a songwriter is hearing a masterful performance like Whitney's. We miss you, Whitney.
Cheryl Spencer Hall she was very excited when David Foster told her they were thinking of redoing her song with Whitney Houston. He talks about it in his documentary.
When The Bodyguard came out, it was a big deal to have an interracial couple leading a movie. They definitely caught some hell for it. I've always respected her and Kevin Costner for taking on those roles.
Interesting how seeing an interracial couple in a movie was taboo not so long ago..I’m adding that one to my list that the kids need to see from when I was younger.
My first wife, now passed, was black and I am white. We were unspeakable to by most people in the 1980s. Walking in a mall holding hands was unreal. No one believed it could be done.
@@m.s.biteth1164 Have you seen the movie "Something New", with Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker? I think it likely that in at least a few ways, you'll be able to relate. And those two are quite nice to watch and listen to -- movie star beautiful, as well as obviously intelligent and witty.
I remember seeing an article when it came out saying they had wanted to use Madonna for this film. I'm not sure if it was a schedule conflict or a personality one but they decided against her, and cast Whitney. They knew she could sing but were worried about her acting skills. Obviously they didn't need to worry
Have you seen "Who's Coming to Dinner" with Sidney Poitier in 1967? It was a white girl bringing home her black (doctor) boyfriend, to her upper class really hoity racist parents for dinner. It is really good and predates The Bodyguard by 25 years, in putting interracial relationships on the screen. Excellent classic movie. Check out anything with Sidney Poitier in it as the actor.
Interesting fact about this song. After Dolly had a hit with this song Elvis wanted to record it. He had some sort of rule where he had to buy the rights to the song before he would sing it. So he could control it forever. Dolly turned him down and good thing she did or we may have never gotten the Whitney version. RIP Whitney you and your voice live on.
The tragic death of Whitney is something that still gets under my skin. I remember being little, like 8 or 9, and my cousins and I would sing with our hairbrushes as our microphones along with Whitney while watching “The Bodyguard”. My grandma LOVED her some Kevin Costner and we watched that movie numerous times and every time her vocals would bring goosebumps to my skin. Then to find out that Dolly Parton actually wrote this song….that’s what really hit home with me. Dolly was and is my favorite singer of all time, and even I can say that Whitney was meant to sing this song. Even Dolly knew it. No one could hit that note like Whitney could. Make a grown woman cry.
I can't believe there are people on the planet who've never heard Whitney. However I can say that it feels good to see this generation vibin out to her beautiful voice.
Me neither. I feel like you’d have to be born on a different planet not to know who she is. You’d think they would have heard of her thru their parents.
They've 100% heard this. I've watched a lot of reactions and you can pick up on some pretty clear non verbal cues. They actually do better at hiding than most people but it's still cool to see them listening to the whole song and appreciating it.
Same. This was Whitney at the height of her singing powers. And a strikingly beautiful woman, at that. She seemingly had it all. Makes me think of her song "Didn't We Almost Have It All."
From Buffalo... she sang it at the Super Bowl the Bills were in- right after she finished, I turned to my sister and said that was the best version ever sung!
It's almost impossible to believe that today there could be someone who has never heard this song, never got excited about this song, with this song ... with this incredible voice. No autotune, no special effects, no PC tweaks. Just the one and only Whitney 😍
Her Mother, Cissy Houston, was the in the founding members of the Sweet Inspirations, Elvis Pressley's backup singers that he had working for him starting in his Vegas years (even a little before) from 1969 up until he passed away in 1977.
I’m old enough to be a #1 fan of Dionne Warwick-still listen to her; so amazing😍. Never knew they were related💞. Whitney is an icon; legendary❤️. Growing up parents listened to 50’s & 60’s. I grew up 70’s 80’s 90’s (music went downhill after that). Familiar with several genres-many decades. This song will outlive us all😍. Bette Midler “The Rose” is another.
Dolly is a great talent, & wrote the song. But, this song will ALWAYS belong to Whitney Houston. Her voice was PERFECT , LIKE AN ANGEL. No one has been able to come close to her voice. And the movie too, with her great friend Kevin Costner. So sad that her life turned out so bad. God Bless You Forever Whitney. ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
"I feel like she sayin' she love me!" lmao Whitney does not play. One of the greatest voices there will ever be. And also, who wants to watch the Bodyguard now?
Vanessa I truly believe she was the best female voice of all time and just cut too short man every time I hear her songs I hold it and I value it and I thank God for it she was amazing
Hi Vànessa I agree one of a kind in our lifetime amazing amazing voice no one will ever match her talent and she's sad how it things went but she was truly given to us for a gift we ought to be feel so lucky that she left those things for us all this art it's beautiful songs may she rest in peace thank you Whitney
I saw her perform when she was 19 at Clowes Hall in Indianapolis. She was young and nervous, but you could tell she had raw, God-given talent. You had the feeling she was going on to do great things. I’ll never forget it.
Whitney’s voice was pure perfection and so powerful! I never heard her sing a bad note. Y’all need to watch The Bodyguard it’s a beautiful love story and a very good movie. The making of it was the beginning of a deep and true lifelong friendship between them - I remember when Kevin Costner gave the eulogy at her funeral. They weren’t ever romantically involved in real life - he’s a true gentleman and he’s been married to his wife for well over 30 years now. He and Whitney shared a very special platonic bond with each other. R.I.P. our sweet Whitney. We all lost you way too soon. The entire world misses you so very much, sweet lady, with all our hearts ♥️
It's so weird and cool how you can LITERALLY hear a song thousands of times over the years, and it STILL gives you goosebumps and brings tears to your eyes. This song will never get old, not sung by Whitney.
Except, Cissy Houston, Dee Dee Warwick, and especially Dionne Warwick, 3 ladies from whom she inherited her singing genes. But outside of her family there's 100 singers tech not only touch her but blow her away. However, I will concede that she was off her time and to her fans you probably can't be beaten.
Not currently but old Mariah could. It's sad that Mariah has let herself go as far as she has. And I'm not talking about the weight I can care less if she's curvier. But her proclivities to other things have damaged your voice let's just say
No one could sing that song like Whitney. Even Dolly Parton said, she herself couldn’t do that song justice the Way Whitney did. There’s numerous videos on here of Dolly saying that.
One of the many attributes of her voice, is how effortless it was for her to produce so much volume. The amount of emotion her beautiful, feminine, powerful voice produced was unparalleled. And it all seemed so effortless for her. She was truly blessed by God with this voice. May she rest with our Heavenly Father above for all eternity. I know with Jesus, she has the peace she never found in this life.
I saw a tweet about this recently that was like "Dolly Parton wrote I will Always Love You and Jolene in the same day. That's like if Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa and wrote Jolene on the same day."
We are failing our kids if they're growing up not knowing who Whitney is. I'm glad one of them did some research - one of the greatest voices of the 20th century...
It's not entirely their fault, they grew up in a strict religious household, didn't even have a phone until they were 18. Cut them some slack. They want to know all genres, that's why their reactions vary.
@@beautifulbliss5883 Ah, I didn't know that. I grew up in a similar home. I didn't know who Michael Jackson was till middle school. Not knowing them or their videos, and knowing lots of kids their age who don't know a lot of the classics, I assumed Whitney was suffering the same fate. Thank you for explaining it.
These boys: this is my first time ever seeing Whitney Houston. Me: Can't compute Whitney was one of my favorites is the 90s. She's a legend. These boys didn't know who she was. What?!?! I'm officially old.
AND, as mentioned in another video they weren't allowed to listen to secular music as children...the reason why their enthusiasm is soooo magnetizing. i love watching their reactions...it's like giving sight to the blind - it's a gift!
@@qoqopepper Oooohhh, I didn't realize that. I just saw them tonight on the Billboard Awards. We were watching with our daughter just to see BTS perform and when these guys popped up, I was like, "Hey, I know those guys!" They made it big!
I will never forget the moment I found out that Whitney Houston died: I was volunteering at a gala fundraiser for a safe house for abused women. When the the director took the stage to address the crowd she said, “it pains me to inform you all the amazing singer, actor and abuse survivor, Whitney Houston, has died tonight”. The audible gasp in the room was shocking and there were many people who immediately teared up, myself included. Let us all remember what a great artist she was and the lifelong effects of abuse.
Let us also remember what addiction can do to you when help fails you. Everyone speaks of her beautiful side and completely forget about her dark side. She was already using cocaine when she met Bobby, he had only been a drinker. She got HIM hooked on drugs and they spiraled out of control together. If you honor the woman she was accept ALL that she was.
Fun fact: Dolly heard the song as soon as it aired and was so overwhelmed her words she had to pull over she called Whitney and thanked and congratulated her for doing what Whitney does best! Dolly said "Its one of the proudest moments of her life! Dolly and Whitney are legends in thier own right no need to pit them together or keep bringing up Dolly did it first 🤷🏾♂️
I was going to comment on this same thing, since they seemed to enjoy “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” I figured they might like Dolly Parton’s version of IWALY.
The respect they have for a legend(s). Definitely going to subscribe to these young Brothers. Looks like they're the 20 year olds that seem more like 30.
I just finished a documentary on Dolly Parton, the composer of this song. She stated that she now calls it Whitney's song. She goes on to state that she'd never granted permission for anyone to use her music in this way, but that she gained joy from Whitney's treatment and the song was no longer hers....🌈💙
Dolly is always a class act. I really appreciate it when artists respect other artists. It is beautiful to see them being humble and showing recognition.
Reminds me of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, but when Johnny Cash did a cover Trent Reznor said it was “no longer my song “. One of the most emotional songs..
I am 65 years of age., & I tell you! You young princes,” have bless my heart ❤️. Just to know that y’all are taking time to hear , & listen 🎧 to your elders old school music. It’s truly a blessing. 😘
You should’ve seen her in the 80’s, check out “I wanna dance with somebody.” She was so cute and happy, and her smile and energy was absolutely radiant.
I must be showing my age, but I can't believe there is anyone who has never heard this song. Every time I hear this song, I am absolutely blown away by what an amazing performance it is.
@Liz Smith I am not about that "lets compare great singers" I love Mariah too, but I feel a need to point out that Mariah notes Whitney as a huge inspiration in her own autobiography this year.
@Reese M It has always been said: Aretha, Mariah and Whitney were the greatest female voices of all time. These are the absolute greats: unbounded talent. After that it is just personal preference, no use of disagreeing with others' opinions.
You know, I've heard this song ten thousand times. And as someone who doesn't have kids, I suddenly understand what it's like to be a parent watching my children see something magical for the first time. This brought tears to my eyes, fellas. Whitney Houston was the voice of a generation, perfect pitch, perfect tone, perfect everything. She was a prima donna - a master of her craft, a voice that we'll never ever hear again. Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, these artists stopped when they heard Whitney begin to sing. Her loss was felt around the world. It's still felt. The absence of her presence is like a hole in the heart of those who loved her but her voice, thank goodness, is still around for us to hear. She didn't 'transcend race', like a lot of my fellow white people would say, she was an empowered black woman with an incredible, incredible gift. Thank you, boys. This was awesome.
As a mom, your statement about watching your children see something magical, touched my heart. That was spot on 💓 As a white person I have never even used the phrase "transcend race" and find it odd and sad that anyone would. Whitney was just Whitney, pure awesome and gone too early 💓
I was so into to the song I literally did not see those boys for a couple of minutes...lol. I adjusted my eyes and said, "damn, I forgot y'all was there." It was awesome to bring back the memories of her soulful voice.
I totally agree! Watching these kiddos see these people for the first time. When we seen these musicians from their start. Example Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston while we were growing up. They are amazing kids to review and get their own view on things with no one to spoil these fine musicians before they hear them for themselves. Amazing and breath taking to watch. Sure brings back good memories for me as growing up. And thank you for showing us that this is about your heart and soul not about race or anything. If more people were like you two kids in this world it would be a better place to live. GOD BLESS YOU!!
They trippin me out 😂😂😄😉🙃nvr seen Whitney nvr seen Whitney sing this song 😮😨Whaaat this is an epic love song, & she's the 🐐for love ballads.... It Krazy they nvr .... 🤷 🤦 😜 BTW y'all so cute.... Young Men, stay Blessed & stay safe 😇😇😇🙏🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️

Fact - Dolly Parton wrote this song the same day she wrote "Joelene"....
Are you serious? Damn, Dolly's the GOAT.
Yep! Dolly did write and record this song.
Dolly has the high childlike voice that sings in a more breathy sound. Whitney’s voice is so powerful it thrills to the soul. I love both versions.
I think Dolly wrote it for Porter Wagoner when she left his TV show. He gave Dolly her start.
Dolly's version is so sweet and simple. I love both versions and both women. Check out Dolly's version guys!!
This is one of the greatest female voices ever
THE VOICE!!

Never!
She was and still is the best singer of all time.
There will Never be another Whitney..RIP she was so beautiful, talented, etc.

"I feel like she's saying she loves ME!" 😂😂 Yessssss, that's the hallmark of true artistry, which Whitney had in spades.

It is really good and predates The Bodyguard by 25 years, in putting interracial relationships on the screen. Excellent classic movie.
Check out anything with Sidney Poitier in it as the actor.
Listen to her sing the National Anthem. No one will ever top it. She had the most amazing voice and was just as great if not better live.
And it was effortless. The best national anthem in a time people were proud to be Americans. Very Patriotic very bright and true.
I agree.. best national anthem ever! Hope these young men check it out 😀
YES!! Ive listened to it many times over the years. She was perfection!! 💙
Agreed! No one will ever sing or top Whitney, most beautiful voice! So very sad she left this earth so young. Rip Whitney
@lesliebell10 you're absolutely correct. Many have tried, none have succeeded!
She was The Greatest of all Time. My heart breaks that we lost her so young😢
My heart breaks to see that they don't know her ore what she looked like...
“I feel like she’s saying she love me.” Lol. You guys are adorable.
So did everybody hearing her song❤️
I'm sorry I'm old enough to be your momma, but you boys are so cute! All the feels! And yes, Whitney was a goddess. Peace.
He put it to words on how I felt when I first heard this song.
Teri Chace I’m old enough to be their mother also. So adorable in a sweet way. Lol.
I cried when he said that
Remember Whitney had pure vocals no auto-tune was ever needed for her voice she was truly one of the greatest singers of all time!!!
Yes! Loved all of her songs! Such talent & beauty!
I totally agree, love love whitney
💯💯💯
I miss our world without Whitney in it.
Interesting fact about this song. After Dolly had a hit with this song Elvis wanted to record it. He had some sort of rule where he had to buy the rights to the song before he would sing it. So he could control it forever. Dolly turned him down and good thing she did or we may have never gotten the Whitney version. RIP Whitney you and your voice live on.
Office Yoga smart Dolly!
Heard that before. Kinda ironic that Whitney Houston's mom was a backup singer for Elvis.
Fate
Another fun fact: Dolly Parton wrote “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene” (which the Twins reacted to in a previous post) IN THE SAME DAY! OMG!
Elvis wanted half rights to it
The tragic death of Whitney is something that still gets under my skin. I remember being little, like 8 or 9, and my cousins and I would sing with our hairbrushes as our microphones along with Whitney while watching “The Bodyguard”. My grandma LOVED her some Kevin Costner and we watched that movie numerous times and every time her vocals would bring goosebumps to my skin. Then to find out that Dolly Parton actually wrote this song….that’s what really hit home with me. Dolly was and is my favorite singer of all time, and even I can say that Whitney was meant to sing this song. Even Dolly knew it. No one could hit that note like Whitney could. Make a grown woman cry.
Jimi, Janis, Elvis, Kurt, Whitney, Michael…the success was too much for them.
RIP to the greats.
I can't believe there are people on the planet who've never heard Whitney. However I can say that it feels good to see this generation vibin out to her beautiful voice.
I was born in 92 at the height of her career and i love whitney
Me neither. I feel like you’d have to be born on a different planet not to know who she is. You’d think they would have heard of her thru their parents.
I tear up when I see her on video. She had so many years left with her amazing voice. Sad.
They've 100% heard this. I've watched a lot of reactions and you can pick up on some pretty clear non verbal cues. They actually do better at hiding than most people but it's still cool to see them listening to the whole song and appreciating it.
@@menwithven8114 they actually said they had heard the chorus before in movies and stuff.
I still get the chills when I hear her sing like this..rest in peace Whitney, you were one on a million
I was just about to comment the same thing.
Same...got goosebumps and a bit weepy
NEVER be another Whitney Houston 😪
Played this song when my ex got married... To someone else 😭😭😭😭😭
Same. This was Whitney at the height of her singing powers. And a strikingly beautiful woman, at that. She seemingly had it all. Makes me think of her song "Didn't We Almost Have It All."
Y’all need to hear Whitney destroy “The Star-Spangled Banner,” no one has sang it better sense. I legit teared up. There’s no one like Whitney.
Agree, her singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" is the standard by which all others are compared to.
Completely agree!
I think Mariah Carey's version is the best but I love Whitney's rendition
Marvin gaye's version is so good too
From Buffalo... she sang it at the Super Bowl the Bills were in- right after she finished, I turned to my sister and said that was the best version ever sung!
It's almost impossible to believe that today there could be someone who has never heard this song, never got excited about this song, with this song ... with this incredible voice. No autotune, no special effects, no PC tweaks. Just the one and only Whitney 😍
This just brought me to tears. Miss Houston you’re truly truly missed.
It brought me to tears also😢
Same! ever time!
She sold 20 million copies of this Country song written by a white girl from the Tennessee holla!!
And owned it!
My childhood comfort voice
Love Whitney. 💕
OMG! I cried too! 💙💜💗
Whitney Houston was a phenomenal singer who died way before her time. Her aunt is Dione Warwick, also a phenomenal singer.
Dionne Warwick is her cousin. Yes, Whitney was phenomenal.
Her Mother, Cissy Houston, was the in the founding members of the Sweet Inspirations, Elvis Pressley's backup singers that he had working for him starting in his Vegas years (even a little before) from 1969 up until he passed away in 1977.
I’m old enough to be a #1 fan of Dionne Warwick-still listen to her; so amazing😍. Never knew they were related💞. Whitney is an icon; legendary❤️. Growing up parents listened to 50’s & 60’s. I grew up 70’s 80’s 90’s (music went downhill after that). Familiar with several genres-many decades. This song will outlive us all😍. Bette Midler “The Rose” is another.
Dolly is a great talent, & wrote the song. But, this song will ALWAYS belong to Whitney Houston. Her voice was PERFECT , LIKE AN ANGEL. No one has been able to come close to her voice.
And the movie too, with her great friend Kevin Costner. So sad that her life turned out so bad. God Bless You Forever Whitney. ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
I saw Dione Warwick, in person years ago at the Circle Star here in the San Francisco Area. Loved her!
"I feel like she sayin' she love me!" lmao Whitney does not play. One of the greatest voices there will ever be. And also, who wants to watch the Bodyguard now?
I admit... I watched the movie again after watching their reaction. just had to watch that epic love story one more time
I've never seen it but I'm gonna!
Vanessa Sully I watched Bodyguard over and over on VHS back in the day. 😁 It’s such a good movie.
Vanessa I truly believe she was the best female voice of all time and just cut too short man every time I hear her songs I hold it and I value it and I thank God for it she was amazing
Hi Vànessa I agree one of a kind in our lifetime amazing amazing voice no one will ever match her talent and she's sad how it things went but she was truly given to us for a gift we ought to be feel so lucky that she left those things for us all this art it's beautiful songs may she rest in peace thank you Whitney
I saw her perform when she was 19 at Clowes Hall in Indianapolis. She was young and nervous, but you could tell she had raw, God-given talent. You had the feeling she was going on to do great things. I’ll never forget it.
“Goosebumps”
Yes. She gave us goosebumps. She was exquisite.
TOTALLY & COMPLETELY!
Still gives me goosebumps.
It's been awhile since I heard this song.. and I just got goosebumps again!
According to Dolly, Elvis tried to buy the rights to this song...she was glad she saved it for Whitney
Angela Bruehler Exactly! Cha ching 💰💰💰
Nobody else could have ever sung this song and done it any sort of justice except Whitney.
Best decision she made! 👏🏿🙌🏿👍🏿
He sang it to Priscilla they day they got divorced. 😢
Not quite, it's was more that Dolly knew her worth and didn't want to give away half the publishing on a song she already had a no 1 hit on twice.
"I feel like she's saying she loves me." THAT'S HOW WE ALL FEEL WHITNEY IS QUEEN
Yaaasssss! 👑
That’s how Whitney made us all feel. 😂😂She was the greatest
@TeachAble yeah well her music will always be here in the present tense 🥰
Whitney’s voice was pure perfection and so powerful! I never heard her sing a bad note. Y’all need to watch The Bodyguard it’s a beautiful love story and a very good movie. The making of it was the beginning of a deep and true lifelong friendship between them - I remember when Kevin Costner gave the eulogy at her funeral. They weren’t ever romantically involved in real life - he’s a true gentleman and he’s been married to his wife for well over 30 years now. He and Whitney shared a very special platonic bond with each other.
R.I.P. our sweet Whitney. We all lost you way too soon. The entire world misses you so very much, sweet lady, with all our hearts ♥️
The guy in the back was in complete love ☺😆💚
Right
Fun fact. Kevin Costner specifically wanted Whitney Houston for this role. He even gave a eulogy at her funeral.
Him giving her eulogy was one of the best I’ve ever seen
@@granniez8035 100%💯💯💯💯 R.I.P Whitney ❤
@@ScootsFromNewCastle I agree!
I think there was something between them
After he declined to work with Madonna.
It's so weird and cool how you can LITERALLY hear a song thousands of times over the years, and it STILL gives you goosebumps and brings tears to your eyes. This song will never get old, not sung by Whitney.
Yes, it has been quite some time since I've heard it and I had goosebumps
It does it to me every time
Always made me cry, I recently lost my husband of 35 years so this time was the hardest.
Exactly. I got goosebumps and started crying. It’s a beautiful song, sung stunningly, and I miss Ms. Houston. 😢
All these years, all these times hearing her sing this...still GOOSEBUMPS!
Still gives me chills and tears in my eyes! Miss you Whitney! RIP
The National Anthem was sung by her like NO OTHER before or after. She had no competition. Ever!
I said the same thing
She was one of a kind! Now she’s an Angel🙏🏼❤️
Except, Cissy Houston, Dee Dee Warwick, and especially Dionne Warwick, 3 ladies from whom she inherited her singing genes.
But outside of her family there's 100 singers tech not only touch her but blow her away.
However, I will concede that she was off her time and to her fans you probably can't be beaten.
Yes and it was so good that it was sold as a single and hit platinum!! She was such a great singer. May she RIP.
Whitney NAILED it ! th-cam.com/video/IdcKLuRjIX0/w-d-xo.html
You can probably now understand why “old folks” like me were so devastated when she died. Her voice was so amazing!
I'm only 33 and I too I was devastated.
Christina Gillie I’m 40 and it damn near killed me. First music I purchased with my own money. I thought she was the most beautiful lady in the world.
I am 27 and went bawling my eyes out when she died. Her voice is a gift from God and she did her very best to share it with us.
I cried all damn day.
Heartbroken
This is Dolly Pardon's best song. Whitney did her proud.
Whitney made her Richer than rich.
She has many though.
Whitney actually made this song win awards
YES INDEED! Dolly did it FIRST! But GOTTA say I think Whitney did it better.
@@davidwilliams6925 she did it first because she wrote it.
"I feel like she's saying she'll always love me" you got that right!
She was the most beautiful and talented woman! No-one will ever sing this song like Whitney!
Not currently but old Mariah could. It's sad that Mariah has let herself go as far as she has. And I'm not talking about the weight I can care less if she's curvier. But her proclivities to other things have damaged your voice let's just say
No one could sing that song like Whitney. Even Dolly Parton said, she herself couldn’t do that song justice the Way Whitney did. There’s numerous videos on here of Dolly saying that.
I still prefer the original.
But, Whitney was an amazing singer!
Only one person, Jennifer Hudson. And she sang it at her memorial perfectly.
Except Dolly Parton. She wrote it.
Whitney Houston is the BEST female artist to ever live, she is a Legend God rest her soul
Everyone has their favorite. No need to get carried away!;)
Sorry, Madonna is the best!💅👠
She a great singer but for her limit
Whitney was THE best, that it God's given talent right there!!
She just celebrated her 9th year of sobriety
That guy in the middle, he got hit didn't he, he was hit, he was shot with the voice. It got him!!!!!!
I think he whispers at the end "let's listen again".
Maybe it was the hairclip banging against his forehead, bless him.
It did. He was.
Prolly by the whole package. Her Voice and her Beauty... She was,, something.. for sure..
One of the many attributes of her voice, is how effortless it was for her to produce so much volume. The amount of emotion her beautiful, feminine, powerful voice produced was unparalleled. And it all seemed so effortless for her. She was truly blessed by God with this voice. May she rest with our Heavenly Father above for all eternity. I know with Jesus, she has the peace she never found in this life.
Dolly Parton wrote this the SAME DAY she wrote “Jolene”!
Wow! I didn't know that. Only that she wrote it as a good bye to her (soon to be) ex.
@@cocochan5526 No. Dolly Parton wrote the song for Porter Waggoner. She was leaving his show.
th-cam.com/video/0OYdRmzAmQk/w-d-xo.html
Oh damn! What a hell of a day!!
I saw a tweet about this recently that was like "Dolly Parton wrote I will Always Love You and Jolene in the same day. That's like if Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa and wrote Jolene on the same day."
Who feels old listening to them talk about Whitney and knowing you watched the bodyguard when it came out????
Age happens to all of us.
Frfr
I was in the 8th grade when this movie came out. Love Whitney she is so beautiful and has a amazing voice.
🙋🏾
Watched it sooooooo many times and wore out the cassette!
We are failing our kids if they're growing up not knowing who Whitney is. I'm glad one of them did some research - one of the greatest voices of the 20th century...
Just sad isn’t it?
@@autumnmoss9474 It is. Good on these kids to take the initiative!
Soooo true, I make my 12 year old listen to REAL MUSIC
It's not entirely their fault, they grew up in a strict religious household, didn't even have a phone until they were 18. Cut them some slack. They want to know all genres, that's why their reactions vary.
@@beautifulbliss5883 Ah, I didn't know that. I grew up in a similar home. I didn't know who Michael Jackson was till middle school. Not knowing them or their videos, and knowing lots of kids their age who don't know a lot of the classics, I assumed Whitney was suffering the same fate. Thank you for explaining it.
Every time I hear this song my heart breaks for her and the loss of that remarkable voice.
These boys: this is my first time ever seeing Whitney Houston.
Me: Can't compute
Whitney was one of my favorites is the 90s. She's a legend. These boys didn't know who she was. What?!?! I'm officially old.
🤣🤣 --- because the twins are only 22 years old & the other brother is younger than the twins.
nods
AND, as mentioned in another video they weren't allowed to listen to secular music as children...the reason why their enthusiasm is soooo magnetizing. i love watching their reactions...it's like giving sight to the blind - it's a gift!
@@qoqopepper Oooohhh, I didn't realize that. I just saw them tonight on the Billboard Awards. We were watching with our daughter just to see BTS perform and when these guys popped up, I was like, "Hey, I know those guys!" They made it big!
@@lindas-k5766 All of my kids know Whitney, including my youngest, who is 19. I guess I just figured everyone knew. Evidently not. 😳
The guy in the middle went straight home and watched The Bodyguard:-) His reaction is so sweet!
I think that is his home 🤣🤣🤣 they said that’s their little brother.
God this makes me feel so old. It's SO WIERD that people haven't seen or heard Witney Houston! I feel like I was borne a thousand years ago!
Me too! How can anyone not know about Whitney Houston? Impossible!
I know......i think I’m not that much older(22) than them, and them having no clue about her, i feel kinda old
When he said he thought that she was fat...I had to stop it, I was laughing so hard.

th-cam.com/video/3I8OmXsSUDY/w-d-xo.html

The young lad in the middle is transfixed by her voice; he's completely spellbound. What a voice. RIP Whitney
Whitney Houston was the GOAT. She had it all: incredible beauty, talent, and that special gift of making every song an experience that moved you.
She was the goat... of all goats. The best vocalist ever!
Another Virtual Identity of Someone Who Isn't Me she definitely had it all.
That she was.
Damn, even after all these years, this song gives me multiple goosebumps. Nobody could belt out a song like Whitney Houston!
Me, too!!!
Yessss!!
Dolly Parton did.
Same.
Lord......... she was something special. beautiful, talented and once in a Generation.
I will never forget the moment I found out that Whitney Houston died:
I was volunteering at a gala fundraiser for a safe house for abused women. When the the director took the stage to address the crowd she said, “it pains me to inform you all the amazing singer, actor and abuse survivor, Whitney Houston, has died tonight”. The audible gasp in the room was shocking and there were many people who immediately teared up, myself included. Let us all remember what a great artist she was and the lifelong effects of abuse.
Let us also remember what addiction can do to you when help fails you. Everyone speaks of her beautiful side and completely forget about her dark side. She was already using cocaine when she met Bobby, he had only been a drinker. She got HIM hooked on drugs and they spiraled out of control together. If you honor the woman she was accept ALL that she was.
@@Desaundrea, very true. Society is too apt to blame men and not look at women at times.
You should hear her song, “I wanna dance with somebody”. She use to sing with her mom in Church Choir..
She is SO beautiful in that video.
Yes!!!!!!!!!
Doesn’t everybody know that “I have nothing” is her best song ever?
Mona Bahgat that’s a good one for sure. I love it!
Emotional
Fun fact: Dolly heard the song as soon as it aired and was so overwhelmed her words she had to pull over she called Whitney and thanked and congratulated her for doing what Whitney does best! Dolly said "Its one of the proudest moments of her life! Dolly and Whitney are legends in thier own right no need to pit them together or keep bringing up Dolly did it first 🤷🏾♂️
The fact that Dolly wrote this song and it was elevated to greatness through Whitney’s voice which built Dollywood 🦋!!
@@devodoesdrivingk6856 actually dollywood was built before Whitney recorded the song in 1992
Facts
It's so nice that you guy's seemed do taken back and genuinely floored to hear how good she actually was ☺️ she really was " the voice" 🙏
To this day Witney is still the true queen. This woman's voice was everything, no one can top that. And she was so pretty. Ah youth.
stillfangirlingtoday AGREE 💯
She was gorgeous. What an icon.
Agteed
That baddest lady to ever sing a note! Only you Whit🙏🏾❤😇
Agree! 💜🙋
I watched your reaction to Dolly Parton's "Jolene" yesterday. You might be interested to know Dolly Parton wrote and recorded "I Will Always Love You"
She sure did! And she KILLED it!
I was going to comment on this same thing, since they seemed to enjoy “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” I figured they might like Dolly Parton’s version of IWALY.
Yes Dolly Parton killed this song too.
She wrote both songs on the same day.
... and, it was not a love song. It was about leaving a partner in the music business.
The control she had in her voice was amazing she nailed every part of the song
The respect they have for a legend(s). Definitely going to subscribe to these young Brothers. Looks like they're the 20 year olds that seem more like 30.
I'm still so sad that we lost her.
I just finished a documentary on Dolly Parton, the composer of this song. She stated that she now calls it Whitney's song. She goes on to state that she'd never granted permission for anyone to use her music in this way, but that she gained joy from Whitney's treatment and the song was no longer hers....🌈💙
Dolly is always a class act. I really appreciate it when artists respect other artists. It is beautiful to see them being humble and showing recognition.
And she probably made so much money from it.
These guys react to Dolly Parton's Jolene. It's a great video!
Reminds me of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, but when Johnny Cash did a cover Trent Reznor said it was “no longer my song “. One of the most emotional songs..
Talent honoring talent, that’s beautiful.
I still get goose bumps to this day. She was a power house singer. What a legend. RIP Whitney. You will never be forgotten!
You’re right!
youre beautiful,pls stay chubby
I got goosebumps all over as well. Beautiful.🙏💜❤
I am surprised I felt a chill.
😢
Angelic voice goosebumps every time I hear her sing
I am 65 years of age., & I tell you! You young princes,” have bless my heart ❤️. Just to know that y’all are taking time to hear , & listen 🎧 to your elders old school music. It’s truly a blessing. 😘
It’s the simple things 🤍
Wonderful to watch the guys and their wonderful reactions to the amazing Whitney.
Amen
Who are you calling old! 😭😭😭
She also sang the most amazing version of the Star-Spangled Banner ever.
Everrrrr!
Yesss!!! 😊
They already heard it, and were amazed of course...
100% agree!!!
Yes the BEST version of it. #RIPWhitney
You should’ve seen her in the 80’s, check out “I wanna dance with somebody.” She was so cute and happy, and her smile and energy was absolutely radiant.
My first Kareoke jam
B Xxx still on my “top 5” karaoke jam list.
BBB - before Bobby Brown. He ruined her.

I must be showing my age, but I can't believe there is anyone who has never heard this song. Every time I hear this song, I am absolutely blown away by what an amazing performance it is.
They're lying for views. I'm not much older than them, it's literally impossible to not have heard this song.
They said they heard the song and others singing it .

She was a Gift and a Miracle. So sad she died so young.
The greatest singer of all time, no one sings like Whitney did.
YES
@Liz Smith I am not about that "lets compare great singers" I love Mariah too, but I feel a need to point out that Mariah notes Whitney as a huge inspiration in her own autobiography this year.
I would say, the only one who has come close to her vocals is Adele
No one will come close to whitney she is the queen 👸🏿💜
@@lynncantrell2782 LMAO
Whitney was a masterpiece; her songs can't be sung by anyone else; she's was very unique
And this is why Whitney will always be considered "The Voice." No one before and no one after.
@Reese M It has always been said: Aretha, Mariah and Whitney were the greatest female voices of all time. These are the absolute greats: unbounded talent. After that it is just personal preference, no use of disagreeing with others' opinions.
Philip Cohen what about Celine dion, she was 🔥🔥 too
The young man in the back had the absolute sweetest reaction look on his face
You know, I've heard this song ten thousand times. And as someone who doesn't have kids, I suddenly understand what it's like to be a parent watching my children see something magical for the first time. This brought tears to my eyes, fellas. Whitney Houston was the voice of a generation, perfect pitch, perfect tone, perfect everything. She was a prima donna - a master of her craft, a voice that we'll never ever hear again. Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, these artists stopped when they heard Whitney begin to sing. Her loss was felt around the world. It's still felt. The absence of her presence is like a hole in the heart of those who loved her but her voice, thank goodness, is still around for us to hear. She didn't 'transcend race', like a lot of my fellow white people would say, she was an empowered black woman with an incredible, incredible gift. Thank you, boys. This was awesome.
As a mom, your statement about watching your children see something magical, touched my heart. That was spot on 💓 As a white person I have never even used the phrase "transcend race" and find it odd and sad that anyone would. Whitney was just Whitney, pure awesome and gone too early 💓
Perfect reply. 🙂
I was so into to the song I literally did not see those boys for a couple of minutes...lol. I adjusted my eyes and said, "damn, I forgot y'all was there." It was awesome to bring back the memories of her soulful voice.
I totally agree! Watching these kiddos see these people for the first time. When we seen these musicians from their start. Example Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston while we were growing up. They are amazing kids to review and get their own view on things with no one to spoil these fine musicians before they hear them for themselves. Amazing and breath taking to watch. Sure brings back good memories for me as growing up. And thank you for showing us that this is about your heart and soul not about race or anything. If more people were like you two kids in this world it would be a better place to live. GOD BLESS YOU!!
Her and Celine have the most beautiful voices I've ever heard in my life.
Yep.
I AGREE 🙌
Yes. Whitney Houston then Celine Dion and then Christina Aguillera then Ariana Grande.
@@charm_done980 not Ariana grande
True, but I suggest listening to Barbara Streisand too - that voice is crazy beautiful and powerful. Regina Belle and Anita too.
