This was a perfect tribute. Kelly has the rare required combination of the pipes, the control, and the humility needed to pay tribute to both Dolly and Whitney, two of the greatest the world has ever and will ever see. She didn't try to outdo Whitney in vocal acrobatics (I liked her understated, lower "please" before "don't you cry" - it was a perfect moment to leave space for us to hear Whitney's almost whistle note "please" in our memories) but she paid her respect by nailing a couple of Whitney's key vocal choices and making other parts almost conversational sing-song the way Dolly's version does. So many artists take an opportunity like this to make it about themselves, and Kelly always steps up to the moment with humility and grace. Love her.

Kelly is so underestimated! This girl can SAAAAAANG! She let's the words and story of the song play the star rather than trying to do all the vocal aerobics like other artists. And don't get it twisted, she can do the runs, flips, dives, highs, lows, etc., etc., etc., but she knows she doesn't need to. Kelly is fire! Yasssss Queen!

Kelly has always been THE "Idol"; combining the sweetness of the girl next door with the power, charm and charisma of some of the world's best singers. Well, she IS one of the world's best singers, with a nearly 20-year career and millions of records sold to prove that. She also proves that less is more, as this scintillating take on a standard proves. With piano, acoustic guitar and her searing, keening voice, Kelly reaches through time and space to make the listener FEEL and THINK. Her voice is crystal clear yet emotively charged, and if you're not shedding a tear after this, I wonder if you have a heart at all.
