Leona owns this song. she has something mariah and whitney never had, respect and grace. forget the rest of them. this is the girl that we should call the voice. she is the voice. it is natural. she never shouts. she is it !!!!
I can't stop listening to her x-factor days! She's just magnificently brilliant! Btw, who's that girl who always shouts so coarsely? Never fails to make me laugh. Me thinks leona's voice is diminishing though. Not like her x factor days when she sings live. I hope she knows this and diligently exercises her vocals.

Shes amazing love her vioce, but lets not get over our heads, Whitney is the HBIC Leona cant touch whitney back in her prime but now umm yea she can. But the 1990's whitney OMG she would soo destroy leona vocally. too bad drugs mssed up her vioce :(
Her voice is not so powerfull as Whitney's Houston, but in the beginning she is so much better.... and it's incredible how she sings with so much passion but when it come's to talking she is so shy :D
Awesome! I viewed all of the other X-Factor videos of her and wished I could hear her sing a Whitney song. I watched this and was stunned! What a performance! Thanks Simon, and you're welcome. I'll buy her CD.
She has it all, and how nice to not have another Prima Donna. One of the finest talents to come along in a long time. She is a good role model to all young people. Good Luck from the USA.
I know Dolly Parton is amazed on how many people love to sing this little song that she wrote. Her original version wassoft and bittersweet but when Whitney Houston sung it became so powerful and bittersweet.
This girl is AMAZING !!! I wish this was the 80s so she could achieve global stardom in the way that people could before the internet. Not that I dont' love the net but I miss the days of proper STARS
Almost as good as Whitney, almost.. and thats a BIG compliment, because i think she has/had the most beautifull and powerfull voice ever. Listen to her original again with good volume.. still AMAZING!
she rocks dnt she? she's just amazing! u listen to the beginning..and wait with anticipation coz u just know she's gonna deliver a sensational ending!!!
actually if you knew music this isnt even whitney houston song it is dolly partons. and it isnt an easy song to sing if you can do it i would love to hear.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
When will singers learn that ANY whitney houston song is OFF LIMITS! This song is UNTOUCHABLEEE! NO ONE can sing it better than whitney. MAYBE, Jennifer Hudson, but certainly NOT Leona Lewis.
Hmm, I'm agree with you that no one can sing it better than Whitney. But I think Leona can sing it better than Jennier Hudson. She is only screaming..
This is my all time fave song. I honestly had no clue that there was someone out there who could hit the same high notes as Whitney. Leona did a ferggin FANTASTIC job. I hope she stays around for a LONGGGG time and brings us more beautiful music! : D
well yes. Altho Dolly Parton is an incredible woman and song writer, her voice just isn't as fanatastic as some of the various singers who've sung the song.
I would put Leona 2nd to Whitney, but given Whitney sang that song after years of singing experience, and Leona is just starting out, I would say Leona has a good chance of one day being the top of the list - unless someone else new, even better, comes along - which I doubt!
ok... if that's what you think!!! my question is when would leona come out with a single that showcase her full vocal strength? forget the fact, the she's good enough in making rnb or hip hop but remember all those famous divas like Mariah, Whitney and Celine started with common denominator!!!
Now your mixing up the singer with the song. Whitney didn't have the hit, she SANG the hit. So it's not about whether Leona has an original hit that is as good as this song, it is about how well she SINGS this song. So you are mixing songs with singers.
to be completley honest, i love leona but i do agree here there is a flat note as much as i hate to admit that its even possible from someone so talented! lol. but hey it happens to even the best singers
Oh my god, she gave me chills! And this is my third time I've seen this video. O_o That's kinda cool. Idono... But I LOVE LEONA!!! She really deserves to win.
please help me im auditioning for BGT next year and i was thinking whether i should sing i will allways love you or i have nothing(im 13 with quite a powerful voice even tho i dont look like it) i love whitney and i would really like to do one of her songs
