Dolly would kick the shit out of Whit…
Hey wait a minute thats not what you asked . Ignore me then …
Hey, I am also a child of the 80s… well sort of, those were my “music” years. Graduated in the mid - late 80s, and even though Dolly is getting to be an old woman, I’d give half a years salary to get my hands on those watermelon boobs for a few hours. And as for her voice… I just hope if I ever get the chance at those melons, she’ll sing to me the whole time… 
As for the OP… HELLO DOLLY!!! Whitney massacred that song. I’m thinking “quit bouncing that chin while you sing”, I mean have you ever seen her sing? It’s scary! I’m a “headbanger”, and I still like Dolly’s version better.
AMEN!
As one of the few defenders of Whitney, I have a few things to add:
-
People still like the Doors, the Beatles, Janis Joplin, and Hendrix despite their drug problems, so have a little respect for Whitney. She is NOT the one putting it all in the press, it’s cheap tabloids. I know it seems like her problems are being shoved down your throat, but she isn’t doing it.
-
The “bouncing of the chin” is called “vibrato.” Unlike LeAnn and Mariah, who use “false vibrato” meaning there is no need for the chin bounce thing to happen, Whitney uses a true vibrato.
-
Dolly is a fake, trashy, cheap, tawdry SLUG next to Whitney. I was forced as a child to visit DollyLand with my grandmother and I have never fully recovered. I was ill every night.
-
I don’t get the whole, “I have a beautiful voice, listen to me sing!” hate thing. Yes, she has a beautiful voice, so why shouldn’t she use it? She is incredibly talented and has based her talent on much more than cheap, off-brand sparkly dresses and giant fake boobs, thankyouverymuch.
I feel much better now. Also, by saying I was a child of the 80’s, I meant to say that I first heard Whitney I was 5 and I have loved her ever since.
The Doors, the Beatles, Janis Joplin, and Hendrix never portrayed this sweet little inocent image either. Whitney is fake. She wants everyone to believe that she’s a “good” little girl, but she’s not. I have no problem with people being into drugs, but hey, don’t be “sweet little missy”, then act like everyone’s full of shit when you get caught with drugs.

If you’d ever taken vocal lessons, you’d know that TRUE vibrato comes from the diaphram, NOT from a quivering chin. You’ve got it backwards. Whitney is the one using false vibrato.
If you’d been around long enough, you’d know that Dolly didn’t get implants. She actually got a reduction, and a little lift added to combat what gravity has done over the years. No need to put a mole-hill under a mountain.
Whew! Now I feel much better too… 
Whitney Houston looks like a real person…until she opens her mouth.
Dolly Parton looks like a fake person…until she opens her mouth.
'Nough said.
