beautiful voice, sometimes its pointless making comparisons, just enjoy ... she keeps you transfixed, utterly effortless ... in that respect, i liken to ella and billie
Nina has the best interpretation from this magnificent song. I'll check Diane Schuur... I strongly advice you to chek Keith Jarret piano version. GREAT!!!
I'm sorry but white people should not be allowed to sing this song. This song is about a negor female slave, begging her husband, boyfriend of what ever he is, not to let her get rapped by the white slave master. This song is best when song by Nina Simone, and Billie Holiday.
No, it's not. It's about a black character, yes, but it's about a woman who is conflicted between two men, her recently divorced husband and her new lover. There's nothing about slavery or rape in the song.
Despite being white I agree that this song just doesn't fit her, however; I don't think this song is about anyone getting "rapped", whatever the hell that is.
OMG if I could get hold of this ignorant little pussy my anger would be written all over his body. This makes me sick, white people will do WHATEVER we want WHENEVER we want!!! I guarantee I can sing this song with more feeling then 90% of black people you know. Your just an ignorant idiot!!!!!!!!
Whitney is vocally in a very high level. Very few can get there even if they try their best.
It's also the voice she has.But if you listen for example Billie Holiday version, hardly any voice left. You can hear that in music you can do beautiful things in so many different styles. If you have done your best and put your heart into the music you play, that's all we need. I love for example Chet Baker.
I must admit this song wasn't a favourite of mine. That was until I heard Alyson sing this with such raw emotion. I saw a couple of grown men with tears in their eyes in the audience, including this one. BRILLIANT!
thanks allyson for such a beautiful interpretation. BRAVO. please keep singing ur voice is amazing.

I rate this song 8 stars but the system would not let me do it pity. Captivating Alyson - just captivating.

This is where Alyson had us all spell-bound. Not a pin could be heard dropping. in fact, the pin stopped in mid-fall to listen to her sing this.
