Fantastic job Hayley.
Brilliant rendition of Whitney Houstons song

It's not Whitney Houston's song,it's Dolly Parton's but Whitney had a big hit with it,much to Dolly's delight as she was getting the royalties.
The singers are so good, that when I'm immersed in a dance, I sometimes forget we're not listening to a sound track. Absolutely spot on.

Claudia Streza may have sung that version, but it was still written by Dolly Parton
Have to agree to differ, I really hate that song, especially the overwrought, unsubtle Whitney version - aural torture

Whitneys is a bit "I LOVE YOU, D'YA HEAR ME?"

So true . When you listen to Dolly's version it's a lovely, sad, gentle song showing fragility .

Totally agree, but I am always impressed by the singers and band.
I LOVE the singers and the band - there is such immediacy having them there and Hayley did beautifully.
I remember thinking 'better than Whitney', probably because her version sort of drove me mad at the time, overwrought and overplayed on the jukebox in the pub.

It is, heartbreakingly gorgeous whereas Whitney is just bellowing.

Spot on.
She really sang it well.
I always appreciate when they do a good job that it doesn't take me out of the dance I'm watching. They did a great job with that one tonight. Same with How Will I Know and Always On My Mind as well.

It was Andrea
I'm not a fan of the belt-it-out-like-Whitney style, either. Like some others here, I prefer Dolly's version.

You're ears were not deceiving you. Definitely Andrea
Think they are all great - very rare to hear something no so good from any of the band or singers. Pleased that Tess acknowledged the lady too - great stuff.
