Exactly. She was one of the best singers of all time. In a time where you had to actually have talent and couldn't rely on a computer to make you sound better. So naturally, when you record a new song it's your first time singing it. As you live with it you get more comfortable with it over time and learn how to make it age like wine and get better. Many artists of today never even sound as good as their album version because the album version isn't really them.

Dolly sings it in a way that seems like she's already moved on from it, setting the boundaries almost as if she's writing a letter after coming to full acceptance of the situation. Whitney sings it in a way where it seems she's coming to that conclusion on the spot, the cut is still fresh and it's a difficult parting in the moment. both versions are passionate but coming from different places in their hearts. This song is beautiful and anyone could make it sound amazing if it's being sang from their own personal experience or feelings on the message.

She REALLY slayed it anytime an orchestra was behind her. The conductor ALWAYS watched her for cues before he directed his orchestra. Whitney’s band leaders always had to do the same cuz she sand a sing different every time. She didnt follow the band, they knew they had to follow her.

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

+Aaron Thompson Mariah's wouldn't be able to access her head voice considering she uses mostly falsetto. Also in the climax of the song, her mid belts would not be as rich and resonant as Whitney's powerful, full voice. Plus Whitney's vibrato is more prominent than Mariah's. Mariah is good, but I don't think this song is structured for her voice, well at least in the sense that it would outdo Whitney's version. But same can be said vice versa. I wouldn't be expecting Whitney to be able to sing Vision of Love like Mariah.
