Sadly we will never have our Whitney back but this girl is good. Doesn't have the same instrument that our Whitney had or the natural softness but she is good.
This is one of the only women on the Planet that can do Justice to Whitney’s voice . These songs are masterpieces and Glennis performs them effortlessly !! She is an amazing talent and-looks stunning !
Oh my lord! This generation deserves a whitney houston to save their souls. That gave me chills, felt like a young whitney houston is again performing on stage.
+Delano Nahuway For your information, she is young, only 38, but that might seem old to a 12 year old Tetetubby like you. Whitney Houston was almost 50 when she died.
Japee Sastrilloomg she’s so much better than ANYONE else on the charts right now... this is amazing and effortless I might regain my faith in music again ... I can’t believe she exists
Here in the Netherlands she is known for her big mouth and not having a lovely personality. That is why she is not a big star yet. It's a shame because her voice is strong and beautiful but her personality..... Look her up and al the nasty news about her will show up. For example, just last week she was in the news in the Netherlands, she had begon a fight in a convenience store. she was even charged for it. She is just not a very elegant woman. She is and always was digging her own grave for her singing career with this kind of behaviour. It is such a shame, because with the right personality she could have been a worldstar.
Still listening to her beautiful voice in 2021. Unbelievable how much she sounds like Whitney. I've never heard anyone else even come close to Whitney like Glennis. AMAZING!!!
So sad you kicked Glennis out of Ladies of Soul. She was punished for her mistake already. Real friends don't throw their friend in the trash. And you lied to us for years about still supporting her and valueing her as a colleague and long time close friend. You canceled her from the beginning. But you wanted her to lie and say she was quitting. She refused. You'll probably block me here too, because you don't like the truth, You still want to profit of of Glennis' talent. I was a fan of the other ladies too since Soundmixshow and Total Tocuh times. Not anymore. This is not how you teat friends and not how to treat fans, you lied to us and are still not honest. Keeping up appearances.
Incomprehensible..🤷♀️..!! It's not only a disgrace but also a very heartless decision for kicking Lady G out of the family. This is not the way to treat a Soulsister and longtime friend and colleague. Don't they see that they are hurting Glennis Grace? 😔😥😢
Obviously she is not "Whitney" famous but fame isn't everything. Glennis is successful, talented and a very respected vocalist. I live in Japan and I'm flying to Amsterdam just to see her 🎉
Wow!!! It's a rare moment when someone can sing a Whitney Houston song. She was absolutely wonderful! An angelic voice! This lady is terrific. Be blessed.
And then to know that Whitney herself didn't have the balls to sing this song live in this original studio key. What makes that from Glennis...... Yep.... Whitney 2.0
War is. . . minus the head voice she does alot.....my precious Whitney was truly one of a kind....Whitney didnt false her head voice...pure stregnth.....she still amazing...but Whitney Whitney Whitney.....never another that VOICE....
If you close your eyes, and you didn’t know better, you would swear it’s Whitney Houston reincarnated, because she sounds exactly like her, dear I say even better, at least in concert. I saw Whitney in concert, she was terrific, but didn’t stick to the same melodies that we all love, where is Glennis does, she is one gifted talented beautiful woman, I just don’t understand why she isn’t more famous?
I’ve heard of so many version of this Whitney Houston song, but ONLY YOU Glennis Grace can do justice. Pure talent right here. What an amazing voice you possessed. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. ❤️
sweet grace love you bb goddess you have brought back to us the one who left and is no longer with us but you carry on the songs of heather from your heart you are a sexy beautiful woman and full of emotion bravo bb kiss kiss God bless you I love you grace bb keep going brsvo grace kiss
Whitney Houston would be so proud 🥹 I’ve watched this video for years and it still makes me cry. Her voice, effortless singing, and statuesque demeanor while performing gives me chicken skin.
Her voice is so beautiful. I love how she controls every note not like other singers who sing this song. If only Whitney H. is alive today, she'd definitely be happy to hear her tribute 💖
Whitney was in my opinion, as many of us here, the greatest voice that pop music has ever produced. ‘Run to You’ is among her best, and also a technically near impossible song to sing.....Because of the toll that rampant drug use took on Whitney’s voice, she never sang it live, at least not in the original key. Glynnis’s interpretation (singing in the original key) is jaw-dropping, as is her beauty. This is one of the best live performances of a song I’ve ever heard.
Sheridan wright II I agree. I have to keep rewatching it because at times I'm in disbelief that anyone could sound so like Whitney....but here is the proof.
Wow! I agree with you 100%. I watch it every time I sit down at my computer or pick up my iPad. Her voice is mind-blowing and her classiness in an evening gown brings back what I loved about Whitney....the fact that she presented herself on stage as a lady fully dressed in glamorous evening gowns of time past instead of half-naked and let her beauty and voice captivate the audience. She was the last of what I called the "Park and Bark Singers" - just stand there and blow.
holidayingermany you suddenly don't know what you are talking about. 20 years ago she won the Soundmixshow as Whitney, but after that she made her own music. Mostly with dutch songs. You can see it yourself here on youtube. People ask her always to sing a Whitney song because of that famous Soundmixshow and because she sings it beautiful. This was at the ladies of soul concert;) She is very talented and she can sing every song from every artist. I repeat: see it yourself here on youtube
I am speechless. This song isn't just about having a powerful voice, to fully interpret the song emotionally you need to immerse into the lyrics of the song. To get it right, you have to both show and sing it with a sense of vulnerability. And Glennis did it just right whereby it becomes believable and pulls you into the song. For a moment, I found myself in suspension of disbelief whereby I felt like if I was Kevin Costner just like in the movie "Bodyguard" watching Whitney Houston's MTV singing "Run To You" to me just like the MTV of the song only instead with Glennis. It was a magnificent performance, Glennis!❤
I,m fan of Christina too but she raped this song live on stage. Closer than Glennis is not possible, only Whitney herself could do it when she was here.
Austin you are exactly correct! These other 3 are just mad because you would not ever be able to sing or sound close to Glennis Grace, sad and pathetic how people can't be happy for one another for their accomplishments......... get a life......
I would say she has a highly similar tone to Whitney, but Whitney had a deeper pitch in her voice...Glennis, though awesome, has a much lighter overall sound.
I. CAN. NOT!!!!! This is one of the BEST Whitney cover I have EVER came across. Im mean.... Gaaaawd!!! I wish this woman would have given a tribute or five at Whitney's funeral! This is an INCREDIBLY challenging song to cover because it fully encompasses Whitney's FULL voice package: the soft beautiful song-bird like head voice and vibrato, whitney's INCREDIBLE rifts and runs, and her sheer power and crescendo as she approaches the bridge in this song. You can tell that Glennis really has an ear for detail and vocals and the God given ability to recreate it herself. God and Whitney looked down and smiled at this, I have no doubt about it ( :
This woman's vocal talent is phenomenal...Glennis Grace is a fan of Whitney Houston there for when she sings at Whitney Houston song she brings it to life. Her voice touches my soul and brings me Joy !
When I close my eyes, I swear I’m listening to Whitney! Bloody Brilliant Mate. You’ve left me absolutely gobsmacked with gooses ;) Cheers from Mandurah, Western Australia!
Damn ! She has great tone, great power, great transition, great breathing technique, and an warm vibrato. She's shitting on 95% of the industry. And I didn't even mention how beautiful she is
For my personal point of view she has more power and colours in her voice than Whitney had at the time this song was recorded, especially in the higher registers. Would have loved to hear Whitney with her early voice on her later songs. Love both of them, just my personal point of view.
@@TRIBORTHLON I can definitely see that. Glennis has a lighter voice and ease in her upper register. Whitney started to struggle during the Bodyguard era from heavy smoking and a grueling concert schedule. That being said, Late 80's Whitney had one (if not) the prettiest voice I've heard from any female singer. Truly remarkable! If I may suggest, you can look up Wendy Moten's rendition of I Will Always Love You from 1994 with David Foster. IMHO, the best to ever do a Whitney cover (after Whitney herself, of course) with Glennis coming at a close 3rd.
I'm sorry, what? As far as I understand, this song was written by Jud Friedman and Allan Rich. Though, I do agree that Glennis has a very rich strong voice that brings this song to life in a similar way as Whitney. Though, Whitney definitely still owns this song. I'd like to see Glennis own this one by reinterpreting it in her own unique way rather than relying on Whitney's interpretation.
This is out of this world. Whitney's voice is one of a kind but this woman has the lucky body to be reincarnated with Whitney's golden voice. This is serious. The tone and the power of her voice is on point like 90% to Whitney's. Whitney fans would agree. #shookt
JM Reyes This is not her best performance. You have to listen to her other live songs. You will say 100% Whitney. You will be shocked. She is so good. I have all her cd's. I'm a great fan of Glennis Grace. I love her!
JM Reyes I agree, there are many singers out there who sound close to Whitney but nothing as close in terms of vocal technique, vibrato, tone and timbre as Glennis, she is very talented and talent like that is rare, Leona Lewis is also one of the most talented singers in this day and age as she stands out, although she is so underrated.
cassandra cavalcante I know your gonna hate me but I think not so much her falsetto but her vibrato is in a league of its own, if you sat and closed your eyes for a moment I bet there would be a few people who'd have a hard time telling the difference between a Whitney carbon copy and the real Whitney...And the thing is Glennis doesn't even try to copy her, she's got a voice that happens to sound a like, even if people feel she is imitating her, there are some subtle differences. I doubt she could change her tone even if she wanted too, for that is an asset.
Many have attempted Whitney's songs, but I tell you.......SHE GOT IT!!! Ms. Glennis Grace, YOU (in my humble opinion) can wear the crown!!!! She hit ALL the notes, did it her own way; and SLAYED!!!! As we all know, nobody can do it like Whitney; but she came damn close!!!! Ms. Grace, you have the vocals to pull off any of the diva's songs! GOD bless you on your journey.
Glennis Grace is a superstar and an artist in the Netherlands and in Europe. Simon asked GG to perform on AGT, and it took her over a month to make the decision to perform. As she stated, she was made to sing for lots and lots of more people. I have been following GG singing for over two years and with her beautiful and God-given talent, she should be recognized on a GLOBAL scale. I hope AGT helps her with that. Whether she wins AGT or not, to me, she will always be one of the best living singers on this planet.
Exposure to American market. I would not be surprise if Simon himself contacted her for the show. She is really too good for the show but I am positive that it will be positive for her career.
Do you even know how old Glennis is? And that Glennis is still singing great at her age. While Whitney could not. Plus, Glennis sings her own songs. This video is only about a tribute for Whitney. Whitney would be proud of Glennis.
I lost track of how many times I listened to this. She's phenomenal omggggg 😩😭💘 why can't we all just agree that this is the closest someone will ever get to Whitney 🤷🏻♂️. Keyword (closest) for all the keyboard warriors 😂 oh btw this is her actually voice😌. Listen to her sing 'one moment in time' when she was just 16.
Can somebody please call David Foster. He wrote songs for Whitney and he needs to write for Glennis. Maybe with Ellen's help this could get arranged.. What Oprah did with Charice, maybe Ellen can do with Glennis.
Dutchmusicfan1992 I really agree to that!! A couple of years ago a lot of people who saw one of Glennis' video's replied with Charice is way better and more. So i watched Charice and she aint bad, but honostly i think her first big audition when she was like eleven i think, is the best of all her video's i've seen. And don't get me wrong, she is a big singer she is! But i think that Glennis have so much more real emotions in her voice. I really feel it when she sings and get the chills all over me. Just love Glennis!
I agree. Let me be clear, Whitney is in a class of her own, but she would be proud of Glennis' covers. Glennis does some of the best, if not the best, Whitney covers.
❤I've always song Whitney Houston karaoke is the thing for me and I get a lot of feed back when people hear me and you're just amazing..I know this is years back but I replay your songs every chance I get..losing Whitney and I have lost my mom and dad and this songs brings me to tears...one day I wish to meet you wish to sing on stage as well..god bless you ❤❤
Its good shes allready 40 now. The industry cannot break her anymore. Now the whole world can enjoy her voice. Shes a blessing for the whole world what a voice and shes so respectfull for Whitney her music. She doesnt uses her music but she honours her music and her as person. Her career is one tribute to Whitney!! Glennis is the most proffesional and talented and gifted female singer i know! Thumbs up 👍🏼
the first time I heard Glennis Grace sing this song I got so emotional and tears went down my eyes as if Whitney was singing right through Glennis OMG! she's incredible.
Jeez can y'all just complimented her without throwing something negative. She is not Whitney most of can see that clearly. That's her own voice and she sounds amazing!!
She doesn't pretend to be Whitney. I follow every footstep of Glennis, never heard her say that she sounds like Whitney. People say so because she performed Whitney at the contest in 1994.
I'm still watching Glennis because I became a fan of hers when she sang alot of Whitney songs,she's right on the dot through her tone and how she can get those vocal pipes up there,she's the only one that matches Whitney,listen to the comparison RU-vid Whitney along side with Glennis singing run to you,you'll be shocked.
This is possible because Whitney left the road map for others to follow...Glennis is good...Whitney said practice practice practice and Glennis and Belinda Davids practiced and got it.....yay
Confidence. Stage presence. Contact with the audience. Amazing voice with perfect control and Power. Wonderful look. It really cannot be better than this.
Glennis, it's in the news...Celine Dion is quitting her Vegas show in the middle of 2019...a void should be filled by a 'Diva' too...you deserve to be there...my opinion, of course
Unbelievable this is the only artist that has nailed a Whitney Houston song perfectly Glennis Grace is simply amazing Whitney would have been very proud of her for such a performance
For all those critics....Glennis won a Dutch National Competition called the Soundmixshow in 1994(Who best impersonated a singer), she did a very impressive impersonation of Whitney. She was only 16 years old then! She since build a very nice career and does have her own repertoire. But at these Ladies of Soul Concerts (Dutch singers) she always does one Whitney song. Her own voice is just as Whitney's was...she can't help that.
Of course she isn't Whitney. Glennis is a great singer and she does some of the best, if not the best Whitney covers. But, she isn't even close to Whitney because there is something in Whitney's voice that nobody else has. The power, the soul, the operatic head notes etc. Glennis can hit the notes, she is a wonderful singer but she has nothing on Whitney's voice at all. That powerful mezzo soprano from Whitney will always be unmatched. People who say she sounds just like Whitney don't know Whitney and don't have ears.
Whitney Houston will never be matched but Glennis can hold her hand. She is very happy to sing Whitney songs in front a large Odeon and I think she never tried to over shadow Whitney Houston because Glennis loves Whitney.
I love Whitney Houston..OMG! I felt goose bumps while listening to this video. This is the closest rendition of Run to You..This woman possesses a great talent...i have watched all her videos. She can belt in effortlessly Mariah Carey's and Alicia Keys' songs. She deserves to be acclaimed globally. Looking forward for the success of Miss Glennis Grace
Here in the Netherlands she is known for her big mouth and not having a lovely personality. That is why she is not a big star yet. It's a shame because her voice is strong and beautiful but her personality..... Look her up and al the nasty news about her will show up. For example, just last week she was in the news in the Netherlands, she had begon a fight in a convenience store. she was even charged for it. She is just not a very elegant woman. She is and always was digging her own grave for her singing career with this kind of behaviour. It is such a shame, because with the right personality she could have been a worldstar.
You are addicted must like me. And so it seems others are included in this amazing obsession with Glennis Grace. We can't get enough of her and her incredible voice. Searching for video after video......Hoping to find a new performance .....or an older one that we hadn't seen before. I ended up purchasing all of her albums withing 2 days after finding this video (For me the first) I hope to see her conquer the USA and become a worldwide superstar. Rumor has it that she recorded an album in the USA for release in 2018
I'm going to say this is the best version of that song. Leanne mitchell on the voice UK ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZqcVjFSL6sk.html
Pure class and professionalism...Probably one of the most perfectly executed songs I've ever seen,,,,,,,,,,,her changes of range vocally are exceptional..she's effortless and takes you on the journey.....And its not that shes trying to emulate Whitney,,, its just her voice is exactly, naturally,, of the Houston tone. Or she is the reincarnate....Glennis is mesmerizing...can sing anything..I've probably viewed this performance a dozen times and never gets old....She IS the singer now for greatness....
ALL I CAN SAY IS MS.WHITNEY HOUSTON WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY PROUD. I DONT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE TOUCH MS HOUSTON SONGS BUT YOU MY DEAR GAVE IT EVERYTHING IT NEEDED YOU DIDNT MISS A BEAT IM IN TEARS RIP MS. WHITNEY HOUSTON AND THANK YOU MS. GRACE FOR EXECUTING THIS MASTER PIECE
I dont understand..why david poster didn't get her to his concert to sing Whitney's song.shes the only one i heard who can give justice to Whitney's song
These songs are for the real gifted voices. People like these are rare and they always will be rare. That’s why we should enjoy them when we have them.
Of all the artists I've heard who's covered Whitney's songs over the years " in my opinion" you're the exactly carbon-copy to Whitney Houston Vocally speaking.... I've also closed my eyes while listening & I cannot tell the difference ❣️🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽
You deserved a record deal.You could provide the needed diversity to the current music world.I am still missing the Golden Era of Music where all genres are represented because some people like me still crave for those types of music and even though I am old I am still alive and still have passion for beautiful music.I will pray that my highly gifted underrated artists/singers will be given the chance to shine and be successful and be given a record deal.I wish that I am rich and own a recording company I will sign all of you.
