I only liked about 4 of these. But then again I am an older person. The songs just weren't my style. I prefer that one song by Dolly..I understand she wrote it for Porter. He gave her her start. She received an opportunity but didn't want to take it. Porter told her to go ahead. I guess he knew you take the opportunity when it comes your way

she said herself that her least favourite song to sing live is Hurt, purely cuz how difficult it is to perform. She said the sudden shifts from the louder belts to the softer falsetto is not easy to get right all the time. Other than that she said it's a vocally demanding song and the emotional lyrics require a powerful set of pipes to properly convey the emotions.

Whitney cannot be in ANY of the Catholic with these singers (much as I respect Christina A's voice too) - Nobody (nobody!) has a voice like Whitneys - & in her early 20s, watching & listening to her, just going into a "Recording Booth" as it used to be, & singing a song that Jellybean had just handed her; with all the ad libs & runs that she added; the first take being just perfect, her Talent & voice was unmatched & will remain so, I think - Whitney believed her voice was a Gift From God; & am sure she was right; such a shame what eventually happened, but her voice is still beyond compare🙏💜🇬🇧💜
