Chip away the stone |
Very well done. Made me think of this guy. He also sang it at the Trump inaugural ball (or whatever it was called). Music starts at about 1:24. Link to original video: https://youtu.be/3xh6fxaQkm8?t=84 | |||

That's the best cover of that song I've ever heard. | |||

Whitney Houston's version is actually a cover of Dolly Parton's original, which I always preferred. Houston technically had a much better voice, but Parton's original has the emotion of the song. And I feel the same way about this cover of the song by John Doe (playing on the jukebox in the film's bar scene) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH4dFoVwqNw "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

I was going to say, but maybe it's impossible to cover Dolly Parton...  | |||

She's already been covered. Six feet is the standard IIRC. | |||

Dolly sang it better in my view. Houston oversang almost everything. She had a good natural talent, but no idea how to use it. She had poor musicianship. Bad taste in singing. Supermarket girl is kind of the same - overblown, and overly dramatic. I know people think all that melisma is "good" singing, but too many use it all the time, and have no sense of when it serves the song. Sometimes restraint is better.This message has been edited.

To me, she mimics whitney's voice sounds but she doesn't sing the notes like whitney. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
