Her national anthem performance was at the Super Bowl.
Whitney’s Greatest Song?
That’s Easy
Dolly Partons I will always love you.
Oops I guess that’s Dolly’s Song.
Whitney Who?

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You

I know my Heavenly Father is all wise and loving, and his ways are inscrutable; but that does NOT relieve any of my brain cramps over why Whitney died, but that scum Bobby Brown is still walking areound topside!
“I Will Always Love You” (even if my husband hates it).
It’s better than Dolly’s - much different so it’s easy to judge. Not only better vocally, but PLENTY of emotion to it and without the hillbilly hick ululations.
No disrespect to Dolly. I love her, but she’s been beaten.
“How Will I Know?’’
Her best songs are the ones you mentioned in the title and that’s it. And that they threw so many awards at her feet shows everything that’s wrong with the music industry today. It’s all about the star and the music is secondary. Like my brother said once: “Why is waterboarding considered torture but being forced to listen to ‘I will always love you’ 1000 times a day on the radio not?
I have to go with “I will always love you.” I’ve heard Dolly Parton sing it, and Roger Whittaker also did a version, but my favorite rendition is Whitney Houston’s.
You know, to be honest I never cared for any of her music, but I’m fine with those who did having their say and remembering her talent. Just as I hope they do when I get all weepey-eyed over the death of one of my 50s or 60s idols.
But I do remember her singing the National Anthem at one of the Superbowl games, and she did a magnificent job of it, with all the respect and dignity that it deserved, and for me that will always be her greatest contribution.
It is always a loss when someone so talented passes before their time, but the best way to honor their memory is to remember the joy they brought, and keep the speculation and moral judgements to ourselves.
I liked the credits on the label, which I believe included (W. Houston/F. Key)
It was just amusing to see the author's name.
Her rendition of the National Anthem is the only thing from her that made it to my iPod, so I have to choose that.
