Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" is better than Dolly Parton's.

@Crazychick Heathen, Dolly wrote it to symbolize her early singing career duet partnership with Porter Wagoner, to her it was her heart and soul to him, Whitney just sang it for a part in a mediocre film, nothing actually heartfelt.

@Crazychick I love Whitney's take to death, but I love Dolly's version too(she also wrote it, which many people don't know). The other thing I don't like is how WH's version helped to popularize, essentially, yelling instead of singing, which many singers post-Whitney seemed to embrace. So did the dumbass public. There's so much more to expressing oneself than bellowing like a stuck pig. We're still dealing with the fallout through Olivia and Chappell, though I like them both and they are excellent with a huge range.
