    She’s giving me Oleta Adams teas.

    What a wonderfully smokey voice. She took me back.

    I doubt most people even know who Nina Simone is. Stop buying garbage like Born This Way and buy Wild is The Wind and educate yourselves to what real music is because we need to stop singing about s**. Let’s change a generation for the better.

    Nina will forever remain a beast but this is good. J Hud did it justice too.

    Some of us 90’s people know Nina Simone but I’m really into Jazz.

    She can blow. She sang the mess out of that song.

    not that good

    SHE DEFINITELY CAN SANG. If in fact she was a backup singer for Alicia Keyes, then wow, how does it feel to have to back someone that you can sing CIRCLES around?

    I kinda wish she hadn’t started all the runs at the very beginning of the song because it can take away the drama, there is a lack of build up for the crescendo. But she still killed it! Good to see her wouldn’t have know anything about her without this blog or the internet (you tube can start a career- see Justin Beiber)

    Good job Whit!

    Well Well Well
    Look what we have hear…We have a phenomenal singer!
    It strikes me as her being backup for a singer like Alicia Keys, who is a good singer, but cannot sing like Whitney K.
    She is amazing!
    It was so many elements in the rendition she delivered, such as scatting.
    This was truly great, I have not heard someone sing like this in a long time!
    One Word…AMAZING

    Yes… I’m getting Oleta Adams, Brandy, and Lizz Wright.

  15. Ruthie February 14, 2011

    There has been talks about a Nina Simone movie and aparently MJB was offered the lead but- I think Whitney may do the role a little more justice- provided she can act…

    GOOD JOB BUT AVOID OVER-SINGING.

    NOT ALL SONGS REQUIRE HIGH BELTING, ATIMES IT IS JUST UNNECESSARY
