    Whitney is just too great and unique. Once in a lifetime pop singer. It´s not a good look for all these girls when they try it.

    • Realest May 29, 2014

      Nothing wrong at all with tributing someone who you love and inspire as Whitney did with Chaka Khan, Dolly Parton and a number of other of her favorites. It’s about showing love and respect and honoring them for their greatness. Every great singer has done it and should have it done to them. Stop being negative!

      • coolness May 29, 2014

        Thank you! I’ve never understood why fans give so much crap to artists who pay tribute to their inspirations by way of covering a song etc. It’s not about trying to outdo the original but rather, it’s their interpretation of the song that matters while staying true to the core essence of the track. It’s only when they are outright butchering said tribute that there should be an issue and in this young woman’s case, she’s singing this classic it the best of her ability. It’s unfair to reduce them paying respect to trying to replace the original.

      • JOHNVIDAL (Iconic chanteuse slayed) May 29, 2014

        I know that. It´s ok that they do it, as a tribute. But I also said an universal truth, to praise Whitney basically. Nothing negative.

    Stop hating. Its for a musical. Shes not trying to be on Whitneys level shes playing a character who sings that song. And she did great.

    • Stephy May 29, 2014

      Don’t worry Slayriah’s lease is up next week boo she’s out of here!

  5. RihHive May 29, 2014

    Personally I believe Rihanna would do a better job

    • Proud-ARianator May 29, 2014

      Looooooool Girl plz the only thing that goat voiced h** is good at spreading her stds and getting beaten up by men Queen Ariana can do a better job but shes tooo white for this basic play

      • OMG Logic! May 29, 2014

        Ultimate kii! B**** that little squirrel Ariana Grande would bust a blood vessel trying to belt with that paper thin voice of hers.

      • Proud-ARianator May 29, 2014

        B**** plz she can she killed Mariahs career she can do this

      • Pon May 29, 2014

        We all know Ariana has a great vocal range BUT she is not gonna last with that voice singing at her top of her range evry f****** single day, theres not “Queen Ariana” she is a new one in the game just like Rihanna , and yes she can sing Mariah’s old songs but not better than mariah at her prime not even close, that girl is gonna destroy her voice in 10 years and then NO MORE Ariana it is sad tho

    Whitney’s version remains timeless, sorry (not sorry) Alexandria. Your version of your own song slays though

    I really like her… Please check out my rendition of this amazing song and let me know what you think!
    Thanks 🙂

    I appreciate the effort, but I found this rendition of Whitney’s classic a little difficult to listen to. Alexandra’s certainly not a bad vocalist at all though.

    But how many people will actually develop the crippling and ultimately fatal disease is unknown, its authors say.
