Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" is her biggest hit. Houston's co-star, Kevin Costner, is responsible for Houston starting the song acapella.
There are some old blues and jazz singers where it takes a diferent sound to pull it off a sound none of those,,,,,,,what a voice,,,,,,would be able to pull off, think Janis Joplin, Big Mama Thornton, Etta James, Billie Holliday, Lena Horne, hell,,,,all those female vocal groups in the 50's had some great talent.
I can't see Whitney Houston doing what Patsy Cline van do. What Loretta Lynn can do,
Good post. Billie Holliday, a very old time singer, sang in a way that would move you and have you feel what she was singing.
Lucy Thomas' interpretation and performance of this song is just better than Whitney's. Hear me out on this. When you hear Whitney sing this song, you think wow, what an amazing voice, so powerful hitting all those notes and such great riffs. Right?
But Lucy's rendition strikes you on a deeper level its more soulful and artistic. Its a beautifully nuanced approach with the perfect blend of her voice, music and the lyrics (the meaning of the song). She brings out the tenderness of a woman saying goodbye to the man she loves because it wouldn't work out. When Lucy sings that (and sings it quite beautifully), you feel that and can be moved by it. Its honest and meaningful. Whitney's version doesn't move me that way.

Lucy's version is true art.
Imagine hearing Whitney's version 30 years ago when she first did it. It moved David Foster, Clive Davis, Dolly and everyone else who heard it. We're just so used to it now. Lucy's version is beautiful but she's imitating Whitney. Whitney demonstrated genius and artistry. Could you imagine being in that room when Whitney just needed 2 takes. I believe what we're hearing is the 1st take.
She is doing way too much singing for only age 17. She will just become another high school female phenom that burns out in the next couple years. Odds are we won't hear about her again except when someone starts a "Is Lucy Thomas update?" thread.
I would expect that 95% of the people would listen to both songs and quickly think Whitney's voice was stronger and her version was better. That was expected.
However to all the people who picked Whitney, let me ask you two questions which go right to the core of purpose and the artistry of the song.
Listen to both versions. In which version did it seem like the singer was actually and tenderly singing goodbye to her lover.
Which version touched you more because of this tender and loving goodbye?

Answer honestly.
I listened to both, side by side. I'll grant you the tenderness of Lucy's version. But Whitney has more richness in her voice and at the beginning of the song you can feel her pain, the cry in her voice more than in Lucy's version. I don't think the power of Whitney's voice at the end detracts from any feeling of saying goodbye.

Don't know if this is a good analogy but compare Jennifer Hudson, a great singer with Aretha side by side whether it's an Aretha song or Nessa Dorma
