Call it coincidence or just good timing, but just as her new album, ‘Reality Show,’ is due to hit shelves on January 13th, Jazmine Sullivan took to our friends over at VIBE to pay homage to Whitney Houston (whose biographical film is due just days later on January 17th).
Before fans of either diva can get their hands on their latest offerings, tuck in below to hear Sullivan share a rousing rendition of Houston’s famed hit ‘I Have Nothing’ from ‘The Bodyguard Soundtrack.’ Putting her signature melismatic flair on the tune, see her show Jennifer Lopez how covers are supposed to be delivered.
It all awaits after the jump:
Your thoughts?
I like this chick.
Beautiful!!!!!!! Whitney would be proud
Beyoncé could never
Neither could tinashe
This coming from a tin man Stan ? Ha
Tisane can’t even sing her own damn songs. Child sit down
Did you see that clip of beyonce acknowledging jazmine as “one of the best”???
She’s incredible
She is The Voice!
Wow that was incredible.
Your favorite couldn’t!!! Whit is rolling over n a holy ghost fit
Lol yes Whitney would be proud and giving her the holy ghost.
Now I go all the way in for Jasmine Sullivan & Beyoncé they both always serve vocally!!! Very excited for her “Reality Show” album!!!
ok there will never be another whitney
Lort this bishh betta sing
Amazing talent she is…
Of course sum stan had to bring Bey into the equation. In her own way, she can sleigh this song as Jasmine did. I luv this rendition simply because Jasmine sang the song as tho it was hers and not try and mimic Whitney like every other sumbody does. There is only 1 Whitney!
Jazmine Sullivan’s songs just soothe my soul. We still need a new single though. Can’t wait to hear the album! 🙂
This is why I go so hard for Jaz. She is a vocal beast.
The REAL Vocal Bible= Jazmine Sullivan
Salute to Jazmine for doing this cover justice and making it her own oppose to mimicking Whitney from top to bottom.
I love her cover of Whitney song, but I felted like jasmine was holding back a little.
Fabulous!!!! Now this ladies and gentlemen is the difference between a “Cover” and a “Rendition” Jazmine’s rendition was pure smooth jazz and r&b with a nice wink to Whitney. While other people who try to cover this try to match Whitney note for note and fail…hard. Likewise Sam Smith rendition of “How Will I Know” was breathtaking and made it his. My word if only radio could take note from Ms. Jazmine!!!
Right!!! I luv dat she sang da song so soft & beautifully & ain’t try 2 sound like Whitney & jus sound excatly like herself! Dats how u do a cover 100%
I preordered jazmine’s album. I wait anxiously for the next 8 days to go by until my download begins and I get my life!
Hands down the best cover. I LOVE that she made it her own, while others tried so hard to mimic Whitney, which is a fail because NO ONE can sound like The Voice.
Whitney girl!!! Everytime I think about her whole story, talent and success… too much!
These girls covering Whitney only prove again and again why she is/was Whitney Houston, probably the best.
But hey this girl did nice.
Her vocals slay. I can’t wait to cop her album next week.
