      I agree totally. I said the same thing. If Dolly had never did it, then this amazing song would have never exsited. So props to her for this song and Whitney, who took it to another level. Great work by two icons.

    It's funny how people who probably have no musical training say someone is flat. As someone with lots of musical training, I will go on record saying she is NOT flat and this is a breathtaking performance. I'm seeing the show in 2 weeks and from this performance it will probably be the theatrical viewing performance of my year. I love Heather, seen her in both The Lion King and Aida, and followed her recording career. Folks, she's not portraying Whitney, she's portraying Rachel. Stop comparing.

    Amen, Amen, Amen!!! Heather is an amazing singer, who sang this song better than ANYONE else...other than Whitney, of course. Heather is one of the best singers in America...Has been singing w/ Bocelli for years. Ya think he knows an outstanding singer when he hears one?

    That was such an amazing job. Loved this performance, and she made it all her own. She definitely did not do what others did and try and sound like Whitney. She did what she should have, she sang it as herself, Ms. Heather Headley, glad this popped up as a suggestion for a video.

    This was deeply moving but I am amazed by the frustrated churlish comments made by envious folks who probably cannot even sing their way out of a paper bag Heather, you are amazing, stunningly passionate you move souls!
