I don't care. How I wish they would ban this song and all other Whitney Houston songs.

That's me. Sorrry, but I'm sick to death of hearing these same old songs on every singing contest on television. They are overdone, and they just encourage screeching - I'm not a fan of screeching women. Even if I'd liked these songs in the first place - and I didn't - I would be fed up with them by now. Aren't you?

Leona, but honestly, it's a very easy song for anyone with a suitable range and voice type to sing, so it's no major feat to deliver a good rendition.
Also, while its structure makes a good singer sound great ,there is only so much a singer can do with it to make it their own without sounding like they're just showboating, and I find it mildly dull ,to sing or to hear. |

Ranked from strongest to weakest:
Leona >>>>>>>>>>>> Diamond White (US) > Tamera Seriously, anyone who can't hear that Leona is miles ahead of the other two is certified tone deaf. |

What bugs me is when singers with a limited range attempt this song, and then show themselves up at the big key change moment as they have to sing it in a lower key, thus losing the "wow" impact
