Beautiful! She is so underrated. Nobody can touch the perfection that was Whitney Houston, but Jesse J is up there with the X-tinas, Mariah, Aretha, etc. She is AMAZING live!! Especially now a days when it seems the younger generation have no regard for REAL vocalists, and get a hard on for flashy outfits, rotating bras, bubblegum backdrops and 100 dancers to distract the fact that the lead singer is butchering their own lyrics. Oh, and generation "big booty sells..." Go on with your bad ass self Jesse J!!! You rock!!!

All you people should stop comparing singers to the original versions, it's not a competition. Everyone has their own style and we should all appreciate that. I love Whitney's version, but also love Jennifer Hudson's version, and also Jordin Spark's version, and I like Jessie J's version, they're all different. Can you imagine if Whitney tried to sing Mama Knows Best? I'm sure I wold like it but I'm many people would say it's not better than Jessie J's version because she's the original and it won't be the same and that's what we're used to and what we heard first. Just appreciate talent, it comes in all forms.

"I'm sure I wold like it but I'm many people would say it's not better than Jessie J's version because she's the original and it won't be the same and that's what we're used to and what we heard first." - aren't you contradicting yourself? Secondly - I will always love you is COMPLETELY different, whereas dolly's rendition of the song is a slow country/jazzy feeling as opposed to Whitney's it's more like a pop ballad. Thirdly - Aren't Whitney completely trumps dolly's rendition of IWALY and made it one of the best selling track of all time? It isn't the matter of comparing... Is... You shouldn't even compare any singer next to Whitney... lol
@Straightupshooter10 жыл бұрын
Saori Yamaha My friend I think you're contradicting yourself, not me. You said it's better than Jessie J's version because it's the original, but then you say Dolly's is completely different because it's a slow country/jazzy feeling, lmao. So you pick and choose when to compare and not to compare to the original depending on the artist....talk about hypocritical! I don't compare, I enjoy whichever version I like, and if it's both, I enjoy both. Singers are all different and they don't become artists to compete with each other but to share their talent with their fans, and if some don't like them, so be it.

That was a really good cover of Whitney's song but I'd like to point out some things of ALL artists who try to cover Whitney songs: THEY ALWAYS EITHER A.)Slow down the beat and rhythm OR B.) At some point they stop singing to catch their breath OR C.) Speed through a set of lyrics to catch up with the song. I say that to show how great Whitney was. She was on a level all her own. No one could touch her. She truly was the First Lady of Song. R.I.P. Whitney

I don't know how people can say one artist did it "better" on a song like this. Whitney's voice was perfection just as Jessie's voice is perfection, but it's a pop dance song. One is not "better", just "different". Usually an artist does a cover like this because of the respect they have for the original, not because they want to do it better.
@ZhanaZee7 жыл бұрын
Jessie is a great singer but her vocal style is more of a vocal acrobat meaning she uses heavy verbrato. Her voice lends more beautifully to soul R&B pop songs. Few singers can do both. Whitney could do both. Most pop songs do best with controlled tones. Jessie's best songs have that down south church gospel vibe. Both styles are good for the right voice....neither style is better than the other....they are just different

For all of you who are saying that Jessie J was trying to sound like Whitney, SHUT UP and know what you're talking about. Jessie was trying to sound like Jessie and she did. She did a great job. Whenever you compare current artists to iconic legends, you're wasting time and breath. No one will ever sound like MJ, Whitney, James Brown, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, etc. That's why they were legends in the music. Jessie J is better at singing than lots of today's Pop, and R&B singers. Stop Hating.
