As someone who listens to Whitney Houston almost everyday for the last 7 years... I can say I almost fell off my chair when i heard her sing this the first time. Even Whitney would of been shook. This girl is just insane. SO GOOD!
@@stevewojdyta6146 I just hear Belinda David's and I can say, She's not like Whitney, nobody isn't, but Glennis is the only singer that I can say, she's almost like Whitney Houston. If you close your eyes and just hear her voice without look for her, you probably it will say, I hear Whitney Houston sings.
@@stevewojdyta6146 Yes, of course I did. Excellent vocalist but ms. Grace is the super bowl in terms of tone quality in all registers, pathos and stagepresence.
Yes, you are so right. That was so beautiful. Perfect notes, perfect interpretation. The most beautiful voice and cover of that song we have ever heard.
I totally agree with everything you said, specially when you said "THE TONE IS EVERYTHING"!! That's why Whitney is my favorite female singer ever! I have always loved her tone.
Even Whitney would have been like "damn that was good." 🙌🏻 beautiful beautiful tone and true true power. Thank you for introducing me to her 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
and here the english translation of the last link Afscheid by Glennis Grace, Goodbye: Always together, my arms around you My greatest love, I knew it right away The last weeks, the days went by fast Saying goodbye comes closer, that sure is going to be difficult Tell me you don't have to leave, babe That I was enough for you Tell me you don't have to leave babe Leave baby, because you have to, I know you have to. If it was slightly possible, then I would stay another night with you If it was slightly possible, then I stayed another night with you I would say that I'm waiting for you And that the future smiles at us I would say it yet again: I don't want another, never again. The suitcases are already outside, the cardoor slams shut A long last kiss in the early morning light You look at me sweetly and grab me tightly I whisper in your ear that I wont forget you Tell me you don't have to leave, babe That I was enough for you Tell me you don't have to leave babe Leave baby, because you have to, I know you have to. If it was slightly possible, then I would stay another night with you If it was slightly possible, then I stayed another night with you I would say that I'm waiting for you And that the future smiles at us I would say it yet again: I don't want another, never again! I will never feel, what I feel for you! I will never feel, what I feel for you! So come, just go, wipe your tears away And remember very well that I love you, that I love you No, no, no! You don't have to leave baby, no. Ooh, no, no, no, you do not have to leave baby! No, no.
This was undoubtedly Ms. Grace's top tour de force performance to date and let's also not forget the setting and musical support was perfect as well ... this way and the world is at your feet, Glennis; and kudos for your as always immaculate reaction Mr. JustTheVoice ;)
Since I've seen this video some years ago, I follow Glennis on RU-vid in all of her videos, covers, and orignal songs in dutch (even if I don't understand anything lol) . Like you, I loved Whitney so much ! Before AGT, this video had been seen more than 64 millions times ! (an unauthorized version was presented before the official by Ladies of Soul) . I listened so many times to Glennis since this time . I can say that, in this concert, when she sang this song, there was something special that I never found again on the other videos . I really think that the spirit of Whitney was in her this night, the way she sings, she moves, her stare . Don't forget that, without this video, Glennis would always be a star in her country but ... nowhere else ... I'm french and I never heard about her before this night ...
Idk bout you guys... I was looking away then she starts singing, I was shook. She sounds like whitney. And when the ‘I wanna run to you’ part and the audience starts singing... I cried.
I just LOVE the way you appreciate the Voice of Glennis Grace. She is so good!!! Truly hope she will win AGT. She deserves it and her Voice is so close to Whitney.... I also love the way you give your critics... thank you so much! I am watching your reviews time after time can’t get enough... 🙏🦋✨
Kelli Atkins her riffs and runs are nothing like the original also her tone is different. U should listen to the original I have nothing first... Jessie j is Jessie j.. she is unique
Exactly, she sounds more like Whitney than Deborah Cox, who's voice they used to sing the songs in the biopic. Glennis' voice is the closet we will ever hear live again that sounds like Whitney Houston.
This woman is the only person who has ever sung a Whitney Houston song and sounded like Whitney. There are people who can sing Whitney's song well, but not sounding like her. This woman is different. She sounded like Whitney did when she had her full power, range, control, and depth. She barely missed anything. My God, I'm shook.
Lavoun Galloway I would normally say that, but if you sound like Whitney then you need to run with that. We called her "The Voice" because her voice was simply superior to everyone else's and it had everything that you could ever need or want from a voice. If you can sound like that, stick with it. She is the only exception to the rule.
I chanced upon Glennis just a few days ago and there is just one word I have to say about her singing and her interpretation of the song: FANTASTIC. And the voice is all Glennis, let's not take that away from her. God bless you Glennis, always
OMG, the first time I heard this young lady I thought it was Whitney, Ms, grace can't know one can do Whitney songs better than you. You are the truth.
Yaaassssss my girl Glennis! I am so proud of her as a Dutchie ❤️ I’ve been a fan of her for so long and I think she is really under appreciated here in The Netherlands. She just needs international success! Love her so much ❤️
Omg she is the greatest hidden treasure I have ever heard or seen! She is as JustTheVoice said...THE TRUTH! She is stunning & that voice makes me so emotional omg she needs to be in America showing them how it's done!
Crying my eyes out. Been running her videos back to back. Out of all that I've listened to, this one has me sitting up in bed. This song.. she sounds exactly like THE DIVA HERSELF. Especially when she saids... RUNNNNNNN. OMG. Girl... please come to the states. You will be welcome with open arms.
she want,s to come to los angeles whenI don,t know,but she sad in a tv show 2 day,s ago she want,s to give a big concert in los angeles,23,24 march she stands in amsterdam 2 nights 34000people with the ladies of soul,in oktober she gives a whitney tribute in amsterdam ,i want to go but no more tickets avilible on the tribune,sorry for my english
I saw Whitney once saying in an interview that she wishes she had a double who she couldn’t send out to do premieres and appearances when she doesn’t want to be there herself, now here she is :) , I wish Whitney heard this herself. How sad that she is no more. That makes this performance even more haunting
Check out Glennis Grace singing, Saving all my love. I've never seen another artist connect with the audience like her and she knocks this song out of the ballpark! She is second to none!
I just discovered Glennis yesterday (10/18/17) and now I discovered you today, JTV. Man you had me cheesing on your every reaction because that was ME yesterday! Now I'm telling my son "See? See? He's reacting just like I was!" I listened to her at work on headphones cutting grass and at times I had goosebumps and tears because she was so CLOSE! Afterward I COULDN'T WAIT to tell family and friends about her! It was unbelievable! So now watching you was very confirming for me especially since there are some who deny how close she is. Now I wanna show them your video! I loved how you first dropped your jaw at 0:58. Haha.
Excellent observations. Notice that this was a live performance that you held next to the official studio enhanced version of miss WH. That makes miss GG’s rendition even more special.
It is a beautiful song, you can also change the lyrics a little to have a male perspective to a girl/woman "I want to run to you...won't you let me hold your arms, and keep you safe from harm"
Made me cry, I haven't gotten over losing Whitney. But, I know she is proud and would have been. Unlike other Divas she supported other talent and would have loved her
I watch you particularly for the Celine videos, but this video was priceless for a few reasons. Namely, you could really see it "click" when you realized she was the truth in the beginning when she hit "...run to you." As a fan of Celine, I love that her voice is still with us as a gift to the world - I couldn't imagine a world without her voice. Without Whitney here, this girl is the closest to that rich treasure called Whitney. From one fan to another fan it was so cool to see you have that moment. Thanks for sharing with us!
Never heard of her until about an hour ago. When I first saw her video I thought she was lip syncing Whitney until I looked for her other live performance videos. She's the real deal and channels Whitney with the same effortless control in her voice. You were awesome and I enjoyed your reaction, and all the other react videos I viewed of this particular performance.
I remember I stumbled upon this performance on RU-vid and I was shook. It was an audience recording and her voice sounded just like Whitney in that room.
I just noticed that her voice sounds like a beautiful blend of Whitney Houston and Kelly Rowland; definitely one of the very best vocalists in the world!
Noone can sing whitney houston like glennis grace absolutely noone wow amazing vocals ive ever heard she just did that song justice the other people who even try to sing it murder it you go woman
Very good observation young man. Ive been in the music business for a long time and Glennis is a special talent. Glad you enjoyed her performance as much as I did. :)
Just to think off, when you say Glennis Grace has a voice that comes as the closest to the legendary Whitney, that gave me shiffers. Because Whitney is without a doubt, the voice and that makes the little unknown Glennis second best. So why on earth has the second best voice on earth of all time no world fame, as we live in a time with social media. The Dutch know how to hide and so does miss Grace.
Even for dutch fans its a mistery, but I think she doesn't have enough hit songs of her own to break through. Leona Lewis is fantastic and also very underrated.
@Maiden Watkins Well Glennis Grace is just more then a copy cat, she is quiet a star in her own country and that is not because of her whitney voice, she has songs of her own. the song "Afscheid" got 17 million views, that aint bad, isn't it? Too compare the huge show America gots talent has just 40 video's who are more popular then this song that glennis Grace did. And the netherland has only 17 million citizens. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lsoyzlkhXJ8.html
Whitney songs is not easy to sing....And She nail it....If you dont know its Glenis anyone will think its Whitney....she just that good ...All whitney songs she sang.....My lawdddd ...just Amazing....love love her....
By far the best rendition of this song and YES voice is the closest to Whitney I have ever heard. Floored by her performance and your review was on point :)
WOW. Literally sounds like a reincarnation of Whitney. Just wow. Incredible. There are people who can sing a Whitney song but sing it and sound exactly like her is just incredible. Wow. I'm blown away. I agree it was the best cover of that song I have heard as well. Just wow.
They do not have the exact same voice... Whitney's tone is heavier and stronger.. but I agree the riffs runs enunciation are very similar.. she is the closest to Whitney
@@Ds-yy5or yes,also her mixing between chest and hv that gave her that soft tone was more rich and colourful,she pronounced every word with perfect diction and intonation,her dynamics were way more heavy,her head voice was more full,her sense of conviction made you believe in everything she said,her vibrato was like a earthquake,her belts was more conected to the body,she was a wonderful storyteller ,her runs was faster,so i dont really see that new whitney everyone is talking about
Please react to her singing Always by Bon Jovi & Annie's Song by John Denver..it just proves she can sing anything & they are both stunning covers, you will literally not believe it! TY!
I love your reviews/reactions because you KNOW voices. I love how Glennis was really feeling it at the end and teared up making her voice break on her soft outro. Beautiful.
I felt the same! I was in shock. I know every song, every lyric, every movement of Whitney's. Hugest fan ever here and somehow there was a complete identical out there at the same time. Doppelgänger
Glennis Grace is a singer for a long time already, her real name is Glenda Hulita Elisabeth Batta and she live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She's born at 19 juni 1978. Her mother is Dutch, her father is from Curacao. She is a well known person and performing on Dutch televison many times.
Everytime when I'm listen her performance, I alway see your reaction first because it's sincerity and feeling with respect to Whitney Houston from your face. You're good guy.
When i listen to Glennis i hear somebody that is so convinsing i just believe every word she sings, that makes her stand out to all others, i know just a few singers that have that quality, i use to say a song is a SONG after Sinatra sung it, its not only if you can reach that high notes its about telling me a story so that i have to believe it, Glennis makes the hairs on my arms stand up every time, the only living singer today who can
