Apart from her immense talent, her personality, specifically her humility baffles me. So many people would have been prideful and rude at this point but even then and to this day she is one of the most humble and nicest people. She is truly special; a pure heart!
I truly think Leona Lewis is still The best singer The X Factor has ever had. Her innocence, her talent and spirit is so rare. A true gift from god with a beautiful voice.
I am probably the biggest fan of Whitney and I can honestly and happily admit that no one than Leona will ever come as close to Whitney Houston! This was a pure masterpiece!
Leona sang this on xfactor the day we collected our puppy and sat with him on my knee watching this . We got him put to sleep this week at 16 years old and played i will always love you in the car to the vets . Such a special song beautifully sung ❤️😢
What i really LOVE about Leona is, no matter in what time i look at her (now or then)...i always think to myself: she is so natural. Sympathic. I like that so much about here.
It really dolly partons song ..whitney just did her version of it and the rest is history .leona is up there with iconic vocalist..whitney, mariah, diana,etc..woman has a gift
fashizzle78 Yes it is Dolly Parton’s song. She wrote it for her manager Porter Wagner. She was telling him she had to go. Whitney Huston took this song and made it famous. She sang it for her movie The Bodyguard.
she covers this the best I wish she had been chosen to do the Whitney tributes instead of Jennifer Hudson and all them, because with her ability to evoke Whitney with this song, her star would have come back to the forefront in the US, and maybe we could have a pop star here who actually wears a whole dress and can you know, sing amazing.
Im American and I can say Leona is more talented than 99% of the girls that are "super stars" in the U.S. I would pay to see leona before any of the over rated girls here. Leona is right up there with canadian Celine Dion. I love Leona. She is soooo talented and beautiful too!
I think the two female artists I would go see from america would be Kelly clarkson and beyonce but I believe that Jessie j from Britain slays all other artists
Yeah i do think people think Beyonce is better than she is but I suppose she still has a good voice. I think its really unfair that Jessie doesn't get enough credit for how good she is.
Could not have happened to a nicer, sweeter person... Leona has proven to be World Class as a person & Singer... All the Best in Life Always American Fans Bob &Robby ~ Cole &Parker Laguna Beach, Ca.
Meh ya she's good indeed, But there are honestly way better renditions/closer to Whitney's version & no one will ever top Whitney of course! I just wasn't that "wowed" by this one.
This is (and will always be) the greatest Whitney Houston cover I have ever heard. Wow... Just wow... The vocals are angelic. I usually roll my eyes when I hear a Whitney cover because nobody can do it like Whitney... but LEONA! She is the only one who has done a Whitney cover that sent literal chills down my body. Leona is one in a million.
I love her she's amazing and did a phenomenal job on this song, however the original singer to I will always love you is Dolly Parton. Whitney did a good job too for the movie Bodyguard but the real credit too originality goes to Dolly.
Leona's cover gave me chills too. Unreal the talent we are listening to. This girl has some serious ability to sing anything and make it sound super great!
I remember watching this final and being compelled to vote for Leona. I've never voted in anything on TV before or since. What an incredible voice. The amazing thing is that when you see her on TV in 2015 she's just as humble and kind. What a lovely person. Hands down and by a million miles the best artist to come out of any TV talent show. I hope there are many more records to come!
+Andrew Ryback ..the best artist to come out of any tv talent show???....a million miles away from truth...wake up! its 2015 and we have 4th impact already...

She's got all the tools to make it big. Looks. Voice. Humbleness. Pure talent. All she needs is a hit song, a good arranger/producer and a fantastic management team.
Well, you have Nicki Minaj. Before you pounce, hear me out: She's good at rapping. Her music is absolute shit, granted, but she's good at rapping. Let's put it this way: at least she's better than Iggy Azalea.
Jeffrey Stanley Whatttttttttt!!!!!?????? Did you just mention Nicki Minaj in the same conversation with "I Will Always Love You" and Leona's vocal talent!!!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE WHITNEY HOUSTON SONG! Leona's voice is beautiful...but no one....can sing like Whitney. You can never imitate, never sing it with the emotion and feeling that Whitney had. Never.
Seriously, I'm a singer and it amazes me with people with 0 talent would dislike this video. She's definitely in the top 10 greatest singers of all time. And sad to say, she sounds better than whitney Houston as of today, maybe not the old whitney but as of 2008 she would have blown her out of the water. Any female for that matter. Her voice is flawless sorry Haters. And yes she sounds better than 99.9 percent of American female singers. #Stophating
That's so funny, I was just saying the opposite but, I trained in opera where they're constantly telling you to scream at people... Lol I was saying I wish she would learn to use her real voice at parts other than the "big" parts. Clearly she has talent but she could learn to use her voice better... But, what do I know about pop right? Lol I don't know about the 99% percent of American singers though...
Says she sounds better than 99.9% of Americans Also says: #Stophating Lol. Hypocrite. Leon is very talented, gifted. No reason to say she's better or worse than anyone. She wouldn't.
Leona Lewis is EASILY one of the Most beautiful Women on the PLANET , Not to mention she has an UNBELIEVABLE and almost heavenly voice , like that of an almighty multi Dimensional Archangel ⚡🌠🔥 GOD BLESS YOU LEONA 😊🙏🏼💚
I was waiting for that crescendo and the strong voice trademark of the song - and Leona did not disappoint in the slightest! Also, particular members of the audience are FLIPPING THEIR SHIT
I think Leona Lewis is the best product of the X Factor and in general, the best thing about her besides her voice and her beauty etc is her personality, it’s so humbling and honestly it’s what makes her shine the most, she’s a true superstar.
Whitney can be extraordinary, but everyone with ears knows that Leona's voice it's amazing and we don't see a woman with a voice like this since Mariah ... She's unique too!!!!
i watched leona duet with putri ariani, agt.. i came here.. and earlier on, i really wanted putri ariani perform Mariah Carey 's song, My All.. i think, it suits her voice.
The song at the beginning of this clip is "The Voice Within" by Christina Aguilera. A woman whos voice is just as good as Leona, Whitney, Mariah, and whom ever else you name.
Loved her on X factor,my daughter bought tickets to see her in glasgow,and walked out after 6 numbers. She was dressed for a funeral,her band,especially the drummer drowned her out and the songs wehe woeful. But i still as you an tell,love watching her x fator set.Great talent bad management and dresser.
I hope this young woman returns to the industry. Such a talent... Come back Leona...We miss you
She didnt go anywhere.
She never left 😇😇😇
she's on Broadway in the musical cats .
She got dumped by cowell
She left Cowell :)
throwback to when x factor was actually about TALENT! leona will ALWAYS be the queen of x factor and no one will EVER compare to her.
Laura Elizabeth I feel like after this year Dalton joins her as King he's truly breathtaking and she truly out of this world
Nah louisa johnson is better imo
@@louisestick6137 louisa better?Lol nice joke
@@kagesume7575 it wasnt a joke, im dead set serious

shes fucking gorgeous, has a great personality and amazingly talented! full package indeed
ABSOLUTE FULL PACKAGE
All these years I have been watching these shows, I still think she is the best contestant ever.
poodlegirl55 yup definitely best female ever and probably top overall with dalton second
@@bizarrebunny5579 matt cardle is the best male. But he has been utterly shit on by his management...
add Kelly Clarkson and Ella Henderson here
Dalton harris singing listen is best x factor performance ever
Defo won't get better, why you think the show flopped to high of an expectation...🖤
What a STAR she is. And stunningly beautiful. Yet humble.
She is amazing.
She is so humble and soft spoken. I love her 😍
Her breath control, technique and range is amazing! She is literally the UKs version of Whitney & Mariah combined!
Idk if you still think the same.. but Leona Lewis is Leona Lewis ...no versions of no one
Better.
faithoffaith agreed.
Just no.
Laura Corriss I don’t think so
Whitney would have been very impressed to hear this : 3
LadyUsako Leona was alive when she sung this
Didn't know leona was dead love
Indeed
Actually Whitney just did a cover. The song was originally written and performed by Dolly Parton
ღCatherineღ this is whitney’s version though
Most underrated singer ever... she's perfection 👌
She's the only genuine mega talent that ever came out of X-Factor.
bullcrap sam bailey is way better
kashattack AGREED
Where's she at now!!!! First time and I need more!!!!😍😍😍
@@dannyvalastro2638 I live in South America and I think that Sam Bailey and Jennifer Hudson are the best ever came out of X-Factor
danny valastro I don’t think so
Just hearing her talk melts my icy heart.
HAHAH YES
+Robert Fodor It melts my heart too, but mine is made of stone
that evanescence reference tho "Heart of Stone"
Ikr, lol
It also melts mine too, but mine is mainly a teflon/polymer composite...so doesn't take that much to Thor lol
She is actually one of the few people in this world who can sing this song and do it justice!
Einfach wunderschön!!
She needs to come back and perform 😭😍💗💗
She's not that big anymore. She has a few hits but that's pretty much it.
Emma Kraft
not only the most beautiful voice , but her cute , innocence could win anyone over, what a beautiful thing to see her fly
Hello Cat how are you doing today??
Apart from her immense talent, her personality, specifically her humility baffles me. So many people would have been prideful and rude at this point but even then and to this day she is one of the most humble and nicest people. She is truly special; a pure heart!
***** I have to agree with you both .... Wonderful voice, great personality; outstanding STAR

Great rack too
Pip boy83
Hahahaha wow, that's funny yet accurate!
she's singing this with such ease, damn
she's talented... but im suprised how humble she is
I truly think Leona Lewis is still The best singer The X Factor has ever had. Her innocence, her talent and spirit is so rare. A true gift from god with a beautiful voice.
Leona has stayed the same Sweet, humble Girl she was here....How refreshing for a change !!!!!! ~~~Bob Fox
That's great, she does seem humble. It is hard to stay that way. Cheers to her.
ikr. just take a look at taylor swift for instance. 100% bitch now.
not true. 135%
Mean.
no wonder she became a huge stare ,she got evretings, a look , a face , and abouve all of this as Whitney Huston said ,,, she has an incoirable voice
Can we just take a moment to bless the parents for making a stunning daughter!!! black and white make beautiful babies!
so just mix black & white = perfection? :D
Lol I think so too
she was lucky
just like mariah carey
Damn She Sound Just Like Mariah 😳
How can God create such a wonderful human being😍👌
So beautiful amazing voice
have to put my sunglasses on to look at this shinning star what a talent............
I am probably the biggest fan of Whitney and I can honestly and happily admit that no one than Leona will ever come as close to Whitney Houston! This was a pure masterpiece!
Aliee..
true.. she did sound like whitney. much more than Nicole scherzinger or ariana grande
For me thats not being unique also Nicole Scherzinger has pipes like woah.
+Joshua Blackwood Took the words from my mouth.
Shila amzah...i will always love you....try watch her
Oh my gosh she's so humble ❤️❤️
Leona sang this on xfactor the day we collected our puppy and sat with him on my knee watching this . We got him put to sleep this week at 16 years old and played i will always love you in the car to the vets . Such a special song beautifully sung ❤️😢

What i really LOVE about Leona is, no matter in what time i look at her (now or then)...i always think to myself: she is so natural. Sympathic. I like that so much about here.

Leona Lewis is number one. Her voice is astonishing.
Hello Wanda how are you doing today???
she covers this the best
I wish she had been chosen to do the Whitney tributes instead of Jennifer Hudson and all them, because with her ability to evoke Whitney with this song, her star would have come back to the forefront in the US, and maybe we could have a pop star here who actually wears a whole dress and can you know, sing
amazing.
kudos to that "wears the whole dress" hahaha but i totally agreed 👐 leona is rare
Whatever happened to her? She was so gifted. Simon Cowell must've been focused more on his band creations.
There's only one that can cover this song the best and her name is Glennis Grace, trust me!
Ya do know that Whitney’s version was a cover, right?
Im American and I can say Leona is more talented than 99% of the girls that are "super stars" in the U.S. I would pay to see leona before any of the over rated girls here. Leona is right up there with canadian Celine Dion. I love Leona. She is soooo talented and beautiful too!
I think the two female artists I would go see from america would be Kelly clarkson and beyonce but I believe that Jessie j from Britain slays all other artists
Harvey Goulding I can agree on Kelly. Beyonce I feel is way over rated. And you're right about Jessie J she's good!
Yeah i do think people think Beyonce is better than she is but I suppose she still has a good voice. I think its really unfair that Jessie doesn't get enough credit for how good she is.
Harvey Goulding it is unfair she really is amazing! I loved her on the AMA's. It was great!
Why do you like her. She is so not talented.
Anyone who pulls off thos song must have extreme skills.
I love Leona Lewis!
Whitney WOULD BE SO PROUD
Come here because she back singing RUN duet with Putri ariani.on AGT ( american got talent ) so beatifull her voice love from indonesia 🥰😍
Im pretty sure this is what an angel sounds like.
Beautiful, talented and classy.

Amazing, isn't it, personal taste. You just listed four of my least favorite singers.

Never fails to bring tears to my eyes as she catches my breath. One of my fave songs she redone is "Run"
