@@genavievelinkowski9612 You wanna dance with me? Currently bopping to this cover. This actually made me want to be happy even when Im going through a bad time rn.
The expressiveness of her face and the brightness of her vowels make me think that she would be naturally and incredibly successful in musical theater.
Wow! As a music teacher for over 18 years, I have to say that was a wonderful performance. I can even tell that you're not using autotune to fix anything post performance. And that is so incredibly refreshing. One of the telltale signs of a fantastic performance vocally is that this song is over four minutes long and yet close to the end most weaker vocalists will start to become sloppy or tired sounding. However, I have to point out even up to the last note of this song you have such an amazing control over every note. That control is rocksolid you do a fantastic job. thank you! It amazes me that Disney has not picked you up, and given you a job yet.
@Silverbugle I could not have said that better. The pitch is very good, the quarter note runs, the pleasant tone, the natural and even vibrato. All of it great. What’s funny is, and I think this is telling, when I think of this song and want to hear it? I come HERE instead of even to Whitney Houston!! That is a compliment.
@SilverBugle Also, just as a note, I am a piano player and singer, and my father was the director of bands at both the University of Mississippi and the University of Alabama. Not saying that to be boastful at all! Just saying that I have a music pedigree myself. So yeah I definitely agree with your assessment of this girl. She really is good. Maybe not quite as much power as a Loren Allred or Celine Dion or Ariana Grande, but VERY solid. I also like the note choices she makes. You mentioned fatigue as part of that and I agree with that. But also the choices in the first place, trying runs that aren’t even worth it but are a little bit out of reach for example. She keeps the choices within her abilities and that makes for a comfortable listening experience as you well know. Glad to see your comment sir. I know you are a fine music teacher.
Unless you hear out of tune notes, there’s no way you would know someone use using pitch correction if it’s used correctly and they weren’t very attitude to begin with. Pretty much no matter how good your ear is they’re pretty much no matter how much you record. Yeah, she probably did put autotune over the entire thing but again the only possible way to tell, I promise you, is if you hear attitude notes. And even then they may have used pitch correction software and just missed a note. it’s funny because people constantly say Post Malone is using autotune in his life and he’s way better at singing than me, don’t get me wrong, but I hear attitude notes. It makes me think people are just deaf and they say autotune all the time. He uses it on the recording
I was getting ready to be disappointed at it being someone who couldn't sing turning the song into a ballad like so many covers do to difficult songs. I was so glad when I heard the dance instrumental come in and that you weren't actually scared to try to belt it out. Plus you included the key change. I think this is easily the best cover of this song I've ever heard!
Seriously? With all the heavy auto-tune/pro-tools use in this recording, Whitney Houston would be rolling over in her grave if she could hear this atrocity.
A few are saying you lacking anger and passion. Ignore them. Put into your singing whatever emotion YOU feel. Simple joy in a young girl's heart is as true and real as all the negativity and drama!
Christopher peralta oh it’s actually not, her microphone is different from her older videos making her sound better, but she still sounds amazing and the same
@@emh8861 lol it's not that. Weight has nothing to do with anything. Genavieve is undoubtedly very beautiful. She is a head turner, Im positive she gets alot of attention, even from the guys that say they like their women with some weight.
Erica MacDonald, Well said. Whitney would indeed be so proud. I can remember where I was and what I was doing when I first heard Whitney’s recording of this song back in 1987 - it really cheered me up then, as Genevieve’s cover does now. 😎
because modern media is controlled by a bunch of easily offended babies. who believe and demand everyone must be the same. which means people that show talent, unique abilities or have different beliefs cant be allowed a voice because it would break their feeble minds. yay check this guy out ua-cam.com/video/n69KLKBhNxM/v-deo.html
Because real talent isn’t a thing nowadays sadly. Everyone is auto tuned and crappy and people like her don’t get the attention they deserve. One day REAL TALENT like her will be all around us instead of this Drake and Nicki Minaj and others crap.
@@underthestarsoverthemoon4259 I agree with you, honestly I feel like she is kinda like Tori Kelly. The world shot her down, but look at her now. Tori Kelly is singing Gospel, and I barely or if not at all hear auto tune when she sings. If I could sing, Tori Kelly would be my inspiration and biggest role model.
3:19 YES, the extra high pitch AYYY part was amazing! So many people who cover this forget that ONE CRUCIAL IMPORTANT part from the Goddess Whitney herself. Thank you for including it!

I’m absurdly picky when it comes to Whitney covers, and not only do I like this one, but it genuinely made me happy to see someone really do this song justice. Standing ovation 👏 👏 👏
I'm in my mid to late 40's. Whitney Houston's song came out roughly when I was in high school/college. There is only 1 Whitney Houston. But this girl does a pretty good job with this song. At least as far as my untrained ear can tell. Good job.
I agree, only one Whitney. The good black singers just have that added element that's very hard to describe, and makes all the difference. Some call it soul. Bobby Caldwell, and maybe Post Malone, are the only white guys I know that could reproduce it.
As someone who grew up listening to Whitney Houston I was extremely skeptical, but this is (by far) the best cover version ever! What an amazing voice!
I have the absolute most love and respect for you Gen!! Your voice is real and pure and raw and you are one of the only people on UA-cam that continually sings Live and doesn't do all of that production crap. Thank you so much for being you and really singing for us you are a true artist and a true singer from your heart. And tell your sister to get her butt on there with you again LOL she sings so good also but never post anything anymore I love you guys!.....Damion
Hi Genavieve, you are truly an amazing singer. God has Corinne singing in the choir of angels while the Lord has you singing here on earth. You go girl, God has a beautiful plan for you along with your crisp and clear voice! God Bless you and your family always.
Wasn't sure at first, but hitting those highs brought involuntary tears to my eyes. Only a few voices have done that before. (I don't know why that happens). Thank you!
Well shit, did not see this coming. She hit the notes right. If she put more anger n emotion into her music. She could be deadly. All in all she has my vote.
ceasarmike1 all right y’all need to chill, she ain’t Whitney, so what if she doesn’t sound exactly like her or has the same emotions and bubbly expression, she still sang great and nowadays people need to start doing their own things since everyone is getting blamed for being exactly like someone else, I bet if she at least tried to do everything like Whitney people would come at her and tell her to be herself. This is how she is and comments like these are exactly why she’ll keep playing everything safe, to not get comments saying she’s missing charisma or she’s lacking things the original singer has or had. She isn’t gonna be like others in anyway, this girl actually has talent and if she wants to stay safe from comments like yours then so what? It’s her channel, her voice, her emotions, not her songs, but everyone has their own sense of style and at least she didn’t ruin the song.
You remind me of Céline Dion. That vibrato and accent. You also have a really nice tone... So Tori Kelly like. EDIT: I can see you really enjoyed singing that song. I would too if I could sing like you.
That key change! Honestly hearing the first word, all by itself, it was so 'in character' for the tone that helps me identify the song. I also like how much fun you're clearly having.
This video popped up in my recommended feed yesterday. This song has to be the one Whitney Houston track that I will never get tired of. Great rendition. Fabulous enthusiasm, too. I've re-watched this video a few times already.
Been looking for someone covering this song that sounded half decent, your not half decent, your fully awesome! I ended up in tears from the shear awesomeness of the spot on singing ability.
I can not lie, I replayed the beginning with the yea, ooh yea parts so many times. I thought to myself, dang ik the rest of this song will be on fire cuz she came out swinging!!!😍😍❤❤ And you can tell she was really having fun with this song.
(..chuckle) I don't know why this video showed up on my feed but hey.. not complaining. I actually like videos where you see artists actually singing, especially when their good at it as you get the complete package with expression, moves, and how they go about their craft. Sure your staging it for effect and trying to put your best effort forward but it's a performance and your allowed to. Great video, great voice Genavieve.
I heard her version playing over the loud speakers in Atlantic station on yesterday in Atlanta and she literally stopped me in my tracks...I said who is this singing this song this good! She had everybody in good spirits that knew this song when it was a hit for Whitney! By far her cover is the best I ever heard.... Wow ❤❤❤❤❤

Well shit, did not see this coming. She hit the notes right. If she put more anger n emotion into her music. She could be deadly. All in all she has my vote.
ceasarmike1 ikr I clicked expecting disappointed but she did relatively well. Just needs emotion.
Yeah nah that would ruin it. Way too many try-hards these days overdoing it on the ad-lib. Starts to stress me out listening to them.
Its sounds good but it needs more body to it
@alphant1 Whitney had a fuller voice, it's just genetics.
ceasarmike1 all right y’all need to chill, she ain’t Whitney, so what if she doesn’t sound exactly like her or has the same emotions and bubbly expression, she still sang great and nowadays people need to start doing their own things since everyone is getting blamed for being exactly like someone else, I bet if she at least tried to do everything like Whitney people would come at her and tell her to be herself. This is how she is and comments like these are exactly why she’ll keep playing everything safe, to not get comments saying she’s missing charisma or she’s lacking things the original singer has or had. She isn’t gonna be like others in anyway, this girl actually has talent and if she wants to stay safe from comments like yours then so what? It’s her channel, her voice, her emotions, not her songs, but everyone has their own sense of style and at least she didn’t ruin the song.
Fantastic clarity and pitch awesome voice. Perfect. THANK you for sharing.
You remind me of Céline Dion. That vibrato and accent. You also have a really nice tone... So Tori Kelly like.
EDIT: I can see you really enjoyed singing that song. I would too if I could sing like you.
Epekron The Mage Definitely reminds me of Tori Kelly
Out of all the covers of this song I've heard over the years I still like this one the best.❤
You sound lovely and are fun to watch. Looking fwd to more videos.
It's like Whitney Houston sang through your voice. Loving it.
I love your smile, your voice... I think I just became a real fan over here! Lots of love from Japan
I got chills all over ...... This is an amazing performance. A cover that would have made the original singer be proud of you
RIP Whitney
That key change! Honestly hearing the first word, all by itself, it was so 'in character' for the tone that helps me identify the song.
I also like how much fun you're clearly having.
We need more of this upbeat, casual, powerful songs that generate that awsome smile. Most natural we have seen.
Her magnetic smile makes me watch this video dozens of times ...😘
Love her voice and her beautiful smile😊😘
A very difficult song and you nailed it great job 👍
This video popped up in my recommended feed yesterday. This song has to be the one Whitney Houston track that I will never get tired of. Great rendition. Fabulous enthusiasm, too. I've re-watched this video a few times already.
She has the most stunning smile that I have seen in a very long time.
Menina linda, voz linda 👏
Te escuto desde quando morava no Japão 🇯🇵🇧🇷
This is a great song for your voice. Nicely done. Very talented lady. Thanks for sharing. :)
Whitney Houston's songs are hard to sing with, but reviving her song this way makes it easier, it is just a wow factor, I loved it!
Been looking for someone covering this song that sounded half decent, your not half decent, your fully awesome! I ended up in tears from the shear awesomeness of the spot on singing ability.
Totally awesome, your voice is one of a kind , please keep doing what you do!!!
I’m rooting for you on American Idol 😊✨
Momma mia! What an amazingly pure voice! Thank you for this and your "Don't stop believing" cover! You are incredible!!
if you get the chance I hope you will cove the song "man in the Mirror" by Micheal Jackson
Rudy5970 I love that song too ❤️
👍😎😁
Yess

Alyona sings it. She makes all her own music and she's her own backup singers.
I'm late to this 📹 video. Wow, Lady your vocal range! Amazing 👏🏾 💖! I think Ms. Whitney would be so proud!!! Loved 😍 this!
When she looks back at us with that smile I get a wavy sensation through my body. I think I wanna dance with somebody 🤣😂🤣
Definitely the best cover of this song I ever heard. Thank you for sharing! :) Keep on rocking!
Cederic Privat pretty good, have you heard the cover from jessi j?
Anni D jessi j didn’t sing it good in my opinion. Now THIS GIRL GENAVIEVE DID! Wow. Whitney would be proud of her.
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAAAAZINGGG 😍
Haz un cover de esta canción 😄
Carla tienes que hacer un cover!!! Amo está canción
My five yr ild daughter is convinced this is HER song…. Your version been on our playlist for awhile now…. Thank You
This makes me wanna dance with somebody !
Awsome what a wonderful voice.
I can not lie, I replayed the beginning with the yea, ooh yea parts so many times. I thought to myself, dang ik the rest of this song will be on fire cuz she came out swinging!!!😍😍❤❤
And you can tell she was really having fun with this song.
(..chuckle) I don't know why this video showed up on my feed but hey.. not complaining. I actually like videos where you see artists actually singing, especially when their good at it as you get the complete package with expression, moves, and how they go about their craft. Sure your staging it for effect and trying to put your best effort forward but it's a performance and your allowed to. Great video, great voice Genavieve.
Not many people can successfully cover a Whitney Houston song, and you killed it girl! Bravo 👏🏻
A recommendation I'm very glad to have received. Excellent cover!
that voice, THAT smile! my god! You got the most beautiful smile!
I heard her version playing over the loud speakers in Atlantic station on yesterday in Atlanta and she literally stopped me in my tracks...I said who is this singing this song this good! She had everybody in good spirits that knew this song when it was a hit for Whitney! By far her cover is the best I ever heard.... Wow ❤❤❤❤❤
