She’s sitting because she’s pregnant in the video.
Fun fact…
I wonder how much Dolly Parton made off this cover?
LOVE Dolly’s version. Not so fond of Whitney’s. She hits a couple of notes that grate on my ears, and tries too hard. The lazy singer’s mouth induced tremolo is pretty annoying as well.

Have you heard her sing “Jesus Loves Me”? That’s a good one too. Her version of the Star Spangled Banner is considered one of the best of all time. Sounds like she had a hard personal life, too bad she’s gone.
I loved Dolly’s rendition in ‘Best Little Whore House’. Houston’s version was so overplayed and The Bodyguard was terrible.
One of the most annoying songs of all time. Sorry.
I still wonder why Dolly wrote this song. Her marriage is kind of “strange”. Perhaps a “I’m sorry for something”?
Ah, her famous ode to cocaine.
What a beautiful woman…amazing voice and a great movie with Kevin Costner!
Whitney Houston had a beautiful voice, and her version of the Star Spangled Banner was awesome. THIS song, though — UUGH!! I hate her vocal gymnastics on this. “And I-I-I-I-Yi.. will always love YOUO—OO-OOOHOOOO-OOO-OH-OOOOO.”
Back when they actually sang melodies. Instead of variations on rap crap.
I adore Parton’s songwriting and singing. And Houston is the GOAT. Absolutely stunning voice. The song is fabulous. Excellence is a rare thing.
