This is such an amazing tribute to Whitney Houston, such attention to the detail, such a beautiful voice with the tone, just beautiful, you can’t get closer to perfection 🥰
My God her breath support and control is incredible she totally mastered that including her vibrato which is absolutely stunning. Probably the best and closest version to Whitney's I have heard so far. This woman is a powerhouse!
@@sparkyp3765 They are one of the Whitney fans who cant stand GG because she actually is just a good a singer as Whitney and at age 41 its not even close. Glennis is a lot better. I mean no offense to Whitney. I love her too but it's really time to give Glennis Grace the credit she deserves. She is clearly the best female singer on the planet.
Yup, that is Candy Dulfer. She is a legend. Also dutch. She played with the best. And I mean THE BEST. Look up Lily was here. That is perhaps her most signature song.
Goosebumps indeed! I agree with you. Undoubtfully this is the closest cover of Whitney's 'I Will Always Love You' I have ever heard till now. It comes to my attention that most of the time, Glennis Grace uses the same vocal technique Whitney used in all her songs (head/chest voice, falsetto, vibrato, adlib, dynamic, arrangement), which we all know, is not easy at all, given the fact that many singers has failed in attempt to do it. Glennis just knows 'how to do it correctly'. In my humble opinion Glennis Grace deserves not only the respect for her attempt to follow Whitney's style faithfully, but also our praise for her achievement to do it flawlessly!
your face is so expressive and as a musician i love you reacting at the right moments. I can see you understand music and i see you have such a passion for it,
You can't ask anything better than her to sing the legendary Whitney Huston songs. So close . It is scary to e en think that she is Whitney in reincarnation.Did you hear her sang "Whitney I love you" in the part where Whitney sang " Darling I love you". Got goosebumps a lot of it. I loved listening to Whitney songs quite awhile back and listening and watching her sing Whitney's bring back memories and I believe I had fallen in love with this beautiful lady with a beautiful powerful voice. Thank you for sharing this video .
I just fell in love with Glennis voice. usually you always hear this song gets slaughter . She was perfect . I felt her soul with song. Amazing performance ! We love Whitney and Glennis !!
why didn't they get this lovely black Dutch lady to sing the tribute....boy ! what a tribute that would have been....We needed a black voice for Whitney to do her justice!
I really loved watching your reaction; it was so similar to mine! While she reminds me of our dear Whitney, I never lost tract that I was listening to Glennis! You know the haters will come from under their rocks but she has an amazing voice! I'm a fan. Who do you like? I'm prejudice: i think no one sings quite like Black people but there are the greats like Barbra, Celine and few others who can keep company! This chippie is a song bird par excellence!
She did Amazing.. Honestly, this is the 1 song, of all that i would be terrified to sing in public. it require soo much control and discipline, I'd be too scared i would not be able to control my adrenaline and breathing. the fact that she sung this and sound soo similar to Whitney Houston, that alone is just mind blowing
I love Christina Aguilera. She tried to put her own spin on the song and it backfired. She usually oversangs a song and she did it again. But she tried. She did it her way. Even Christina said once that Glennis can withstand a Whitney's song. Didn't CA do a Whitney Rendition years ago? Whitney enjoyed it so this is why they chose her to do it. Another thing, to the industry CA is Legendary, and Glennis isn't yet. But to me Glennis is Queen. She is the Voice II.😍
@@short-moments. CA knew of Glennis just like Nicki Manaj knew of Glennis and put her Whitney song up on her Twitter account.😍 You think these Artists don't know of other Artists or singers around the world, esp when they sing like Glennis Grace and Amon Morrisette? ☺
How True. Before haters make any judgement, they should go through all RU-vid reaction videos and then I hope they will see that Glennis Grace is a sun with her own solar system. Whitney and Glennis both have their own unique voice calibre and versatility. It's time for the World to give a chance for Glennis to shine Brighter... Internationally.
Her (Glennis) strength is the way she convince her audience that she means every word, that is a quality in singing that only the greatest singers in this universe have, i know only a handful that have that ability and shes one of them...
Amen!! I hear other singers sing any of Whitney Houston songs and the heart isn't there. They are going through the motions. Glennis tells a story just like Whitney did!!!
i'm dutch and we see her on tv for many years, since she was 16 years old she won a dutch talent show and ever since we know glannis grace in the netherlands, and the dutch seems to be good in talent shows, voice of......is a dutch program btw i realy liked the reactions she's get from america and keep up the good work!
This Hands Down is the best Cover by anyone. There's another one whete she sounds even more like Whitney. I think she should have done the tribute then Christina Aguilera..I love her too but it was just ok to me
jetit Glennis would have been legendary, Christina was awful. I love Christina, but with the lifting, strain, bad technique and pushing she isn't the Vocal Savage she used to be anymore
First things first, I am a metal head and usually not interested in pop music, although I am a fan of Dolly Parton only because she's got to be 100 years old and still kicking it. But this has got to be the best version of this song I've ever heard and I don't want to take anything away from Whitney but man! Why isn't Glennis Grace a household name? Shows you how screwed up the North American music scene is!
Her voice is only slightly constricted compared to Whitney's . Otherwise she's just amazing in her own right and sounds so similar to Whitney it's creepy.
Glennis did this live!! And she always deliver, she even is one tone higher than Whitney ....amazing vibrato, headvoice, falsetto, voice and breath control, fabulous regal posture ...... why is the USA not acknowledging this woman ..... she can fill stadiums with Whitney tributes and if you see her version of “Run” by snow patrol at the semi finals of AGT it shows she can sing in her own style as well ..... best singer in the world right now and the US is not getting it .....chauvinistic lot
I totally agree with you is not just about the song is having the right voice to sing that particular song she has sang that song so great meaning Whitney Houston it's her number one song So anybody coming to sing that song The Voice have to be on point
X-MISMA-X My opinion and choice of words wasn't meant to be creepy. But I think you already know that. Nevertheless, if commenting made your day, then ok. Have a great day.
Ehh.....Never heard of Candy Dulfer?? Ohh ok you must be under 20 years old then. Anyways let me fill you in. Candy Dulfer (born 19 September 1969) is a Dutch smooth jazz, funk alto saxophonist and occasional singer who began playing at the age of six. She founded her band, Funky Stuff, when she was fourteen years old. Her debut album Saxuality (1990) received a Grammy nomination. Dulfer has released eleven studio albums, two live albums, and one compilation album. She has performed and recorded songs with musicians including her father Hans Dulfer, Prince, Dave Stewart, Van Morrison, and Maceo Parker, and has performed live with Alan Parsons (1995), Pink Floyd (1990), and Tower of Power (2014), and is currently a member of the Dutch "The Ladies Of Soul" group, along with Glennis Grace, Edsilia Rombley, Berget Lewis and former band member Trijntje Oosterhuis. To me she's one of the greatest sax players of all time.
guidoheuts I don’t think he meant any ill intentions when he said he didn’t know her I don’t see the reason to be so aggressive just cause he didn’t know that chick.. I don’t know her and I’m 28 lol so calm down no need for the unnecessary attitude
Simply David, You call that agressive or unnecessary attitude? I was merely explaining to YustTheVoice who Candy Dulfer was/is, since he never heard of her. It was never my intention to pull him down and neither you.
Happy you gave us all these informations about Candy . Excuse me and him, I'm 48 years old, I'm french and worked on air for local radio stations (30 years this year!) and no, I never heard who was Candy before I discovered her with Ladies of Soul on YT ! But I agree with you about her talent ! And I'm really happy to kn0w her now ...
I will say her live version is way better than Wh’s version. WH was struggling back then…having a baby will get your chords for a few years. Big promo schedule. Just a lot. But WH’s recorded version….just gold. Even if someone sings it exactly the same, in our minds, it was just so much better when the single initially released. MJ and WH are the two who can do that. Make a performance incomparable
Whitney's version is UNTOUCHABLE, no one will ever get on that level, but this performance is I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E. I bet you didn't know that actually Whitney's version is a cover too, the song came out in 70's (Dolly Parton wrote and interpreted it first), it didn't get an extraordinary success but Whitney caught its potential and there it is, one of the biggest hits ever. #THEVOICE
X-MISMA-X That makes no sense cause even if someone is dead you still have to avoid to desrespect that person. But Glennis TOTALLY RESPECTED Whitney, and for UNTOUCHABLE I obviously meant that it's untoppable, no one could do better, not that NO ONE should dare sing this song. Glennis nailed it!
X-MISMA-X No, absolutely, you cannot say that she was one Whitney's level, NO ONE IS, but she got the closest anybody ever got (at least on this song)!
She even topped Leona Lewis, with this Whitney version. Glennis is the absolute best vocalist of the Netherlands. Potentiolly the best in the world today.
Candy Dulfer worked with prince . In 1988 Prince invited Dulfer on stage to play an improvised solo during one of his European shows.[1] In 1989 Dulfer appeared in Prince's "Partyman" video
Not counting the voice Whitney, I have following list of covers of this song. 1 Glennis 2 100 mile empty space. 3 Jesse J, a good performance 4 all the rest
I wish you could react on the Ladies of Soul 2014 Whitney Houston Tribute. This Ladies are phenominal, true talents and Glennis Grace shine on this concert.
Candy Dulfer (daugther of Hans Dulfer jazz musician) she played in P rince's band played with almost every jazz musician on the planet, also with Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley from the JB's (james brown band) father and daugther here live in a tv show Holland: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N4v4Pm8jjY8.html
Hello JustTheVoice Glennis is very populair in the Netherlands, this is one off her concerts giving in the HMH ( Heineken Music Hall) Yes from the famous dutch beer Brand wich is sold worldwide. In the Capitol off the Netherlands the city off Amsterdam. Extually this concert is brought out on DVD. This venue capacity is abouth 8000 People Maybe more. Whenever she does a concert she always pays tribute to her idol the late miss Whitney Houston. But she dosn’t wont to become Whitney. She is just paying her respect and tribute to her Idol. Glennis Grace is just Glennis Grace. Whitney is Whitney! So stop comparing her with Whitney. She has her own songs. Most off them in the Dutch language. But they are trying to get her to the USA right now. Glennis is Born on the 19th off June 1978 and Will reach the age off 40 years this year and Still looking good. Her Father comes from the Dutch Antilles in the Carribean region. Her mother is a Dutch women. Glennis grew up in Amsterdam and Still lives there. Please watch Glennis Grace singing I Love the Lord. Glennis is a very humble person with a great Voice. I’ll hope the rest off the world Will Discover her. To me she already belongs in that League off All the great singers off the world like Whitney, Areatha, Etta, Janis. But that’s just my humble opinion.
It would been awesome for her to sing Bridge over troubled water with Whitney if she was still alive. Cece, Whitney and Glennis have the same tones with Glennis having more freedom on her F chest voice
Justhevoice, you have to react to Glennis Grace last America's got Talent performance! (A woman's worth) please! You are by far the best reactor and honest commentator. Thanks!!
