New Song: Glee Cover Whitney Houston’s ‘I Look To You’ (Full Version)

Last night we previewed the Glee cast’s take on Whitney Houston‘s 2009 smash ‘I Look To You’. The full version of the hit TV show’s spin on the song, fronted by Amber Riley (‘Mercedes’) has surfaced. It’s set to air on TV this coming Tuesday.

Take a listen below…

Amber nailed it! Though interestingly, the grit of Whitney’s ‘new voice’ armours the original with an authenticity and conviction which this markedly more Pop sounding take can’t compete with. Still, a great, great effort.

Folks, don’t sleep on these Glee covers. They oft can sound on-par / better than the originals (see: Madonna’s ‘4 Minutes‘).

Randomness: Ms. Riley needs a solo deal as soon as the show’s dust settles.
