  • Whitney Houston is the best, but he does it very well also. But no one is like the voice! <3

  • @BjornAmerus Whitney doesn't have a "voice" anymore but R. Kelly does..

  • @whayes8084 Exactly..people are so disillusioned. She can't even sing it well live..

  • This is just amazing, that an already accomplished singer/artist thought of someone else to do this masterpiece!!!!! This song is for Whitney!!!!!!!! And indeed she did a great job.

  • fucking amazingg

  • wow what a great song i see my self on this song

  • THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL..KELS IS SIMPLY THE GREATEST!!!!

  • This clip premiered on a Germany MTV show in November 2000 and I remember reading that Kellz mentioned that he wrote a song for Mariah Carey, as well. Does anyone know if he played the song he wrote for Mariah?

  • What an amazing gift this man has!!!!

  • can i just die? i nearly cried.

  • @babarabaraha I shed a tear myself. Lol

  • beautiful song

  • Where is this interview from? I cant find it online

  • HMMM! WOW THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY

  • im sorry i love whitney but R.Kelly killed this and would have been so much better and more popular is he made the single

  • .... (splat)... dude is a beast

  • wow....is all i can say to this video! I love R. Kelly and this is why!!

  • R Kelly is a musical genius!

  • i love this r kelly is the best

  • a hands down r kelly is the greatest singer of my times just a pure beast

  • All I need in my record collection is Kellys music........If God is is real.....he speaking thru Kellys voice.........God bless him:-)

  • R. Kelly should cut back and try making music that simply showcases his vocal and lyrical beauty again. No more of this experimental hip-opera crap!

  • This guy is too good. It's not even real man. I can't believe a human being is capable of creating such vocal beauty

  • genius Robert Kelly !!! amazing ! gorgeous composer ! I'm doing the spanish version of this beautiful song !!!

  • emocionante

  • Comment removed

  • OMG that was good and he had so much emotion when he sang it. He needs to make his version of this song as well. Very pretty...

  • @thr33wisemonks ??????

  • One of the most beautiful verses ever written and sung just as amazingly by the R.

  • R.Kelly should do the this song too. I prefer it to Whitney's version as well.

  • R. Kelly is a amazing song writer he should get more respect.

  • brought tears to my eyes.

  • What year was this interveiw?

  • I can't believe that I actually heard R Kelly the writer play and sing this song that he wrote for Whitney Houston. A song writer would know how it's suppose to be sung and Whitney sung it the way it was suppose to be sung.

  • @thr33wisemonks What are you talking about?

  • @RKellyKingofRandB What I say is what I mean and what I mean is what I say.

  • Love it!!

  • kelz owned

  • vocal wise i like whitneys better but i love the panio. whitney should record herself playing and singing to this song. whitney does no how to play the panio. that is an instrument besides her vocals that she's able to do.

  • thank you so much for putting this video up, it's brought me so much joy.

  • R.Kelly..Should record a Full Studio Version to this..Even though I like Whitneyes very much!!..just like how he did a recording of You Are Not Alone- which he wrote for Michael Jackson.

  • Did anyone ever use this beat? It wasn't on Whitney's album, so did he shop this particular version to someone else?

  • I noticed a few words were changed for Whitney's version. It's really a beautiful song. Whitney should have recorded it with only a piano and her voice like Kelly's version. The finished product is great but it would have been nice just to hear her voice alone with a piano.

  • GREAT JOB R KELLY, U SHOULD RECORD THIS SONG AS WELL!

  • I would like to hear charice pempengco cover this song!

  • Comment removed

  • He should make a track of it or they should duet cause I hate only listening to 2 minutes of it :(

  • kelly you keep us guessing thank u baby

  • kelly you keep us guessing thank u baby

  • who is the girl in the clip?

  • R Kelly should record this song, dont you think?? He sounds amazing. There's much more emotion in it than Whitney's version.

  • @stevescissors THATS COMPLETE BULLSHIT...but he does sound nice I give him that!

  • @MichaelMarshallstar Bullshit? Whitney sounds like someone went over her vocal cords with a chesse grater! I bullshit you not. It was a big mistake when he gave this song to whitney. He would have had a big hit with it.

  • @stevescissors Michael, i have Whitney's new CD. I'm just telling you how i feel... "My Opinion." I feel he would have done this song with more emotion than Whitney. I still love Whitney Michael. Don't have a breakdown.

  • @stevescissors Thats BULLSHIT because its not even a big hit on youtube by him singing it! Whitney was the better one for it! He wrote it but look at the difference between his version and Whitney's! Last time I checke that 3,050,379 was a bigger number than 104,765!

  • @MichaelMarshallstar Whitney is not at her best herer. I don't care how many views she got. Hopefully R Kelly will redo it and give it some justice.

  • @MichaelMarshallstar

    So what, Justin Beber , Pussy cat dolls and other crappy artists like that probably have a shit load of views on their videos too that don't mean they're better. Not comparing Whitney Houston to them, but she's more mainstream than Kellz and mainstream artists are gonna have more views. On top of that, her version is the one that was released, so that's the one most people know. Unless you're an R. Kelly fan, most people probably don't even know he wrote the song

  • @MichaelMarshallstar what you're sayin doesnt make sense. in general, most ppl who listen to music dont even check the credits. case in point. not alot of ppl even knew R. Kelly wrote a track for Whitney Houston unless you tell them so of course the number of ppl viewing this video compared to Whitney's wont be anywhere close.

  • @stevescissors absolutely!!!! This would be a number 1 hit if kellz released a version of his own!

  • @stevescissors i posted a couple of yrs back before he gave this song to WH that she was the wrong choice. should have given it to a female with a pretty higher range voice.  Houston's voice is anything but pretty , R. Kelly has a higher range now than she does. what waste giving it to her non singing ass.

  • @stevescissors I fully agree with you. I just ask myself why he does not sing it himself?

  • Nobody does it like Whitney trust.

  • what a great song..!!! R-Kelly is such a talented person.. pls continue making such a great song like this..

  • THIS VERSION IS SO MUCH NICER THAN WHAT WHITNEY DID WITH IT

  • @limba21 gotta throw a dig at Whitney...hata

  • Just beautiful and heartfelt. This is why he is the king of R&B and a musical genuis. Great voice, writing, composing, producing whew need I say more. I like WH but I think he should have releashed his version. Made me cry.

  • When I heard this song before whitney released her album I got very excited I could barely wait, Whitney didn't do this song as much justice as R-Kelly did. I love Whitney, but I really Love the way R-kelly sings, it gives me the chills!

  • @ananyasoul I agree with you 100%.

  • @ananyasoul he wrote it... of course he would identify with it more.

  • I just love R. Kelly. This man is damn sexy. He look good and he sound good too. Nothing sexier than a bad boy with a sensitive side. And a genius on top of all that. Do your thing Kelly, you got a fan for life in me.

  • Damn!

    He's got my tear.

  • now i to tell you a joke make you laugh real quick

  • This is a beautiful song! R. Kelly has a wonderful beautiful voice to go along with it. Wonderful. Truely. O.K. new R. Kelly fan sitting right here!

  • WONDERFUL i cry every time i listen this song

  • wunderfull

  • i love r kelly

  • R. Kelley you fascinate me. That song you wrote is absolutely beautiful.

  • the theme song used by whitney dedicated and played at my grandmas funeral

  • In my opinion, this version is much more beautiful than the album version. I've actually had dreams about this piece. I wish there were an entire mp3 of this version out.

  • @YellowBoy21 me too. R. Kelly's voice suits the song more.

  • This is my version of I look to you! search for----- I look to you Ted Sol

  • i love whitney's versin, but damn this breaks my heart. the man sang the meaning out of it x

  • R Kelly please come clean with the song I look to you

  • Sing R Kelly!!!....thanks for the lyrics...thanks for your continued artistry!

  • very impressive!

  • That's the most beautiful thing i've ever heard...

  • mama there goes that man... classic from the greatest!

  • R.Kelly made that host cry and he made me cry too. He definitely should have kept this one for himself.

  • I love Whitney's version, but I wish R.Kelly would have recorded this himself. He just sings it so beautifully.

  • Comment removed

  • R.Kelly Simply Amazing!!!!

  • I prefer the melody on here compared to the one on the album.

  • IDGAF what people say. I will always love R. Kelly as an artist and person.

  • He can sing this song I wish he could record this.

  • You just know r kellz just banged dat blond bombshell afterwards, she opened up so easily you could tell she wanted him to shizzle her nizzle

  • omg this shits all over whitney's version...

  • WOW!!! This is a beautiful song. R. Kelly!

  • r kelly is the most gifted singer song writer of our time. No one else is even close! Now, if he would just stop being so freaky!!!!

  • I truly love this song. It's so deep and very emotional. This song will help anyone get through the various challenges they attract in their lives. I love it so much I had to do a cover of it as I sing it often to lift my spirit when I go through my hurdles that I create. Thank you R. Kelly for another brilliantly written song that was given to the perfect person to sing. Whitney is a delight to listen to even in her moments of tribulations.

  • would have been a R.Kelly classic if he would have sung it himself.. houston's version if forgetable at best. but he probably assumed she would be able to deliver when he pitched it and sold it to her. he was wrong.

  • wow people are so cruel to Whitney... its sad. She does an Amazing Job! and it means so much to her struggle and come through. shame on some of you people. whitney will always be whitney. kelly also did a great job.

  • yesterday i have been to the whitney's concert in zurich... and when she sang this song... we were all ike: wow.... she's so wonderful and i feel so honoured to have her seen live... won't never forget that day.

    <3

  • i can't believe he just sat there and made ME cry.. lol.. this is stupid... this ain't cool.. lol

  • This is very soul-touching...Whitney made it even greater, but R Kelly sure did a wonderful job!

  • R.kelly write a lot lirycis and song which bacema hit for other artist . . R.Kelly rulles .. .others suck

  • This is beautiful! I cried listening to this!

  • ai sim,betiful..,hai to brazil...

  • that took me to church for all 2min of that video aman

  • I love his version so much. He should have put this out on record.

  • I love his version much more than the one on Whitneys album. She changed it a bit and I think this one is nicer & softer

  • @kyliep22 of course it's nicer because he still has the ability to sing unlike houston. they had to change it she couldn't sing it like this.

  • @yurherenow He should have let someone else sing it. He wrote it for her ages ago when she could sing. He probably didnt realise how much her voice had changed.

  • @kyliep22 too bad because it is a beautiful song... I think it would have been an excellent release for him... he's a good singer.

  • who is trey songs?what an idiot!

  • kelly, I love you.......so awsome !!!!!!

  • R.Kelly kills this song, way better than Whitney. Incredible talent.

  • i agree 100 % and i luv whitney

  • @ed130584 he wrote it for her i dnt think its a competition

  • @reese1990drm1 i know just telling my opinion ! :)

  • Sounds 10000 times better then Whitney. Whitney was a big Voice but the Drugs destroy all.

  • love you R kelly!

  • wow... good music! guys I live in Brazil,and I like so much this song.!

  • Putz adoro essa música ...eo  R.Kelly mandou bem .....

  • kelly i love you

  • i think r kelly should have kept this song too! he sings it with more passion than to my girl whitney! love her to pieces though!

  • Whitney version is better, but i like Kelly's version too :D

  • That is such a touching song.

  • só poderia ser do r. kelly... linda!!!

  • Wow, yeah he should have kept the song. I am a bigger fan of Whitney than Kelly but this song here belongs to him, I hear the sincerity when he sings it.

  • Kelz shouldve kept this song... Dont get me wrong, Whitney sounds awesome, But Kelz sounds more beleivable... Theres more urgency and emotion in his voice.

  • Thnaks for posting this video!

  • Thanks for watching!

  • I am a little disappointed what Whitney did with this rather simple but beautiful song ( I was waiting for her response to this forever), that could have been one of her greatest song ever, but her sprechgesang and you n you n you n you is simply not good ...r. kelly got it, he should record it

  • Beautiful, well-written song, and the arrangement is perfect!

  • Im Thrilled After So Long Whitney Finally Recorded This!!!

    She Done A Beautiful Job.

    I'd Love To Hear A Duet On This!!!

  • A very talented human being

  • Wow! I really love this version of the song!

  • man r kelly really looks hot here. yum

  • Omg!!!! this is so amazing..God Bless R Kelly...hope and pray he writes more songs as such...what a very simple yet powerful piece he had written..Amazing, !!!

  • R kelly is the most gifted singer, songwriter, producer of the last 20 years. He can do any kind of music- r&b, pop, hip-hop, etc. And he is always relevant to any generation. But I never would have thought he wrote this one for whitney. That's amazing! Especially considering how freaky he can be at times with his music. Just a genius, and nothing less!

  • this is so beautiful who would have thought him writing this for her, but every one deserves a second chance glad they got it together

  • I prefer this way of singing it. Think it would sound even better if whitney sang it with this melody

  • WOW! That's all I got. The man is GIFTED!

  • How cool is that Whitney has finally recorded this wonderful piece of music..R J you are a wonderfully talented musician and song writer....When I first heard this on you tube - long whle ago - I wondered if W H would ever record it but of course hoped she would. Its very apt and moving,, R J Thank you for all the pleasure you bring to our lives!

  • Who is RJ? This is R. Kelly.

  • wow!! man I Live in Brazil You know??. and I loved this song.. so beautiful!!!! great!

  • R is the best....way better than whitney´s version!!!!!!!.....gänse Haut pur;)

  • whitney voice on this song is amazing

  • this song is simply beautiful!

  • dam r kelly is good ,

  • U can say what you want about R. Kelly, he is a very talented man. That song is perfect for him and Whitney, look at what they have been through. I love this song

  • @respectmysexii too bad she (whitney) ruined it with that horrible voice of hers.. he should have given it to a singer than still has a high register in her voice. whitney sounds like shit.

  • @yurherenow That's very harsh. And she has a better voice for the song.

  • @UchihaElijah had your hearing checked recently? Houston in NO WAY sounds as good as he does on this song. it's a beautiful song and needs a beautiful voice to sing it... that leaves Houston out.

  • @yurherenow I agree because I like the way R. Kelly sings it. I've always thought he had a powerful voice that's always been inspirational. Interesting that she tries to stay up on the hip-hop trends (I guess just to make money), but his ballads are so beautiful. I really would love to hear R. Kelly sing "I Look to You" in full. I'm sure he must have recorded a demo for the song.

  • R Kelly put it down in this song, To Fuckin Bad he never recorded his own version!!!

  • He sure knows how to write great songs!

  • And to think we could have had this song 10 years ago. Tha't when Kells wrote it. I was just reading some comments and someone said they were disappointed in Whits new album. I refuse to buy it cuz it sounds like filler music. I expected more from Whit.

  • Whitney, isn't what she once was, but I still love her and will by her albums to support her. But it is sad that her great voice no longer exists

  • it still exists thats how she was able to make another album. her voice is there and always will be. just the range is different.

  • I hate Whitney's version and I think Kells should have released this song himself!! It would have been ok if Whitney did a gospel album, but on an r & b album, it doesn't work.

  • man Kelly did this jone! Got me learning these chords to sing this one! He got that gift man! No Lie..

  • very true :P

  • He makes me cry. But I love also Whitney's version.

  • this is what im talking about! good job R KELLY!

  • i luv it

  • I love Rob singing anything, and I especially love this song bc it is where I am @ in my life. Thanks Rob!!

  • R Kelly should have brought this one out himself as a single. He sings this with such feeling and brings the melody out so beautifully.

  • this is what R-Kelly should of sang!!!What a voice...R-Kelly you are the man..Sing Bruh!!

  • love this version .... even bit more than Whitneys... but I´m glad she`s back ^^

  • Yeah, I'd love to hear R. Kelly's demo, if he recorded one, which I'm sure he must have.

  • oh man, I think I don't want to admit it, but me too. I love Whitney's version, and her voice is so raw and so real. but this version is so good. I love it - it's sadder.
