  • drop the see through pants gimmick: you are incredibly gifted and don't need a hook..

  • man,she is beautiful in everyway.

    

  • Lovely voice, purely melodic.

  • Not since Linda Ronstadt's own recording of this classic do I think I have heard a prettier rendition of this song -- carried just by your emotive vocals and a lone guitar. You are a rising star indeed. Major kudos for a great cover!

  • Awesome job. Love your voice.

  • Yes!)

  • Nice!!!!!

  • I wish I had a voice like this. Awesome girl..sing that song!

  • You have a beautiful voice. I enjoyed that. Thank you.

  • Pretty version. Pretty girl, too.

  • Very nice. You sound much like Olivia Newton-John singing this song.

  • Beautiful!

  • Beautiful voice. Beautiful version. I've always loved this song and you did it proud. I'd love to see you do "Different Drum".

  • Linda has always owned this song, but you did an amazing job!!!

  • Superb, just superb!

  • wow, simply amazing vocals,the guitar pickin' is awesome,too

  • WOW!! Very nicely done!!

  • WOW!! amazing job,awsome.

  • Pants thing, weird! :P

    Singing, playing too, Fantastic!

  • I think I'm in love,,, speachless, will you sing me to sleep, that is beautiful

  • You are a rising star, aren't you? I've loved this song for years, probably before you were born, and I think you did it justice!

  • This is a beautiful version.

  • Very good! The only criticism I have is sometimes you lose the note at the higher end and it becomes "breathy." Other than that, wonderful!

  • pretty woman, pretty song, thanx

  • Very nice, thanks for posting, I enjoyed it.

  • Incredibly beautiful. I'm very impressed, and I'm glad I stumbled uon this video. Your guitar has a nice tone, what kind is it? (I don't play guitar myself, BTW.) Anyway,I think you have a lovely, expressive voice ... best of luck to you!

  • You Nailed it with the passion and emotion! Excellente' ! You've done that song and Linda proud! ;-)

  • Wonderful voice :) Bri

  • Lovely voice! finding this video was a fortunate accident. Congrats!

  • Steele on steel strings. Not bad, not bad at all. I'm really keen on Linda & this song.

  • You're really good! Keep it up.

  • Great voice! Your to good. There is no room for real talent right now. If you could just get a televised drug problem or kill some one...... or thing, then.....we might be able to help. Till then sorry.

  • Very good...

  • What a magnetic voice! Thanks for sharing such a classic song with us.

  • Beautiful. Was looking for the original and found something better. You're incredible.

  • Surprisingly good! Find a manager and fast! Holy cow!

  • I am speechless. A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and plays the guitar as well. So uncommon these days. Most women are just plain and frumpy. Linda's music will live forever in the hearts of those that love her music. Bless you Risnstr for doing this song for the fans of Linda Ronstadt.

  • Hey, you're not Linda Ronstadt !

    But I'd as soon marry you anytime.

    You've done great !

  • Comment removed

  • Very nice, would have sounded really good in a recording studio.

  • Thank You!

  • Wow!!! Beautiful. Outstanding voice.

  • One of my favorite Linda Ronstadt songs, you've done it justice. Very Nice

  • Your voice is beautiful. I love Linda and your good.

  • AWESOME

  • Beautiful!! Love the song, and you did justice to it!

  • Hey that's great, you did good, but just be you

  • Excellent. You even look like Linda.

  • Great cover, was a bit skeptical that anyone could live up to Linda. You did a awesome job tho!

    Just wish those pants were a bit more see-thru

  • What an excellent rendition of this song Whitney! :) Guitar, Vocal, and everything :) Even though finger movements were obscured here's a great TRIVIA QUESTION: What Key does Whitney sing "Long Long Time" in? ANSWER: The Key of A.

    All Whitney's finger chording look like the chords you find in the Key of G, However , she has a Capo on the 2nd fret. The Capo modulates everything 2 steps up to the Key of A. She has a beautiful voice singing this song in the Key of A :_

  • Yummy

  • I'd like to hear some of your own, very good cover.I think you have talent on your own. I also think the camera work was done very well.

    Almost innovative.

  • Close to perfection.

  • Really excellent cover!!

  • I think the pants help the acoustics yup

  • The voice? 10

    The face? 10

    Most excellent!

  • Beautiful voice - Great job with the song!! And you even look like Linda R., which isn't bad either!

  • Great voice. Awesome performance.

  • wow. your performance is owesome! Great job!

  • Hi Whitney! I found this video while searching for Linda Ronstadt videos. Linda is my favorite female artist of all time. You did a wonderful job with this song! I was blown away by your rendition. Read your lovely bio, also. Best of luck to you there in Scottsdale and wherever life takes you! God bless.

  • Good job.

  • this is the best rendition of this song that i've ever heard except lindas of course!! great job!!! one of my favorites!!!!!!!

  • why do have to hide behind that background, you look good

  • You have a great voice... and even sort of look like the goddess Linda. Nice!

  • Love your pants! But I love that gentle voice more.

  • You've a really nice voice. How about using a lavalier mic next time for some better isolation between vocal and guitar.

  • buen video

  • In my opinion, this is probably Linda's best recording from back in the day. A classic that simply can't be improved on after hearing the original. She had such a great singing voice that no one could do it quit as well as she did it. That said, this performance is really nice.

  • Very nice. I love singing this song myself. You should have heard me in the shower this morning. You DID? What? And you SAW me too? Ruddy hell? Are you spying on me or something? Oh well, I hope you enjoyed the show! I shall be bathing at 5am tomorrow, with my red rubber duck. Any particular song you'd like me to do? And do you want the duck quacking or non-quacking?

  • i think you do it better than linda,it just sounds like you put more feeling in it ,but i think you should do a video of just modeling the pants

  • Came across video by chance. What a pleasant surprize.  Beautiful Job. !!

  • Qué bonito canta esta nena, que además es muy hermosa.

  • Thank you ; )

  • WOW, amazing performance!

    Very well done!!

  • Thank you so much ; )

  • Was looking for Linda's original and found this - Beautiful voice! Simply amazing.

  • I really appreciate your kind words! Please feel free to subscribe ; ) Your support is amazing!

  • its breathtaking

  • Wow that's an amazing compliment...thank you!

  • What plankroad said.

  • Yeah, what plankroad said ; ) What did he say anyway? Ha!

  • Very pretty voice

  • Thank you so much!

  • It's one of my favorites too! Thank you so much!!

  • I had just listened to Linda sing this, and was not prepared to like your version as much as I do. Simply awesome.

  • Thank you so much for listening and for the lovely compliment!

  • What a beautiful voice and composition.May the very very best things come to you!

  • Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kindness and support!!

  • Whitney, I've come back to hear you sing this song at different times. You really really nail it! I agree with some of the previous comments, that you should consider releasing this one as a single.

    Your voice lends itself entirely to it.

    Great job!

  • Thank you for coming back!! Please know how much I appreciate your support ; )

  • Absolutely fabulous and I saw Linda in concert at least 3 times in the 70s.

  • Thank you so much!  I love Linda and wish I could have seen her in the 70's...I totally missed that era!

  • I think if the song is on your latest cd you should really consider releasing it as a single . I think you would have an absolute hit single on pop,country, and adult contemporary charts with that song!!!

  • thanka shane , outstanding!

  • Thank you so much for watching and to Shane for sending you my way!!!

  • Wow ! What an incredible voice. It takes real talent to be able to pull off a Ronstadt song. Amazing!!

  • Thank you so much for the amazing compliment. I put this song on my new album. You can listen to it at

  • I found this searching for and listening to Linda Ronstadt singing this song (my all-time favorite of hers)... You have an AMAZING VOICE! I loved hearing you sing this! Gorgeous! ;-) :-)

  • good job Whitney

  • I was skeptical at first but I have to admit , you did a great job.. Especially considering you play the guitar at the same time!
