WOW ... just got a chance to listen to this amazing voice ... perhaps it is because I know the song, but even with 25%+ loss of hearing in my right ear, I understood every word ...
I am happy that I now know the right terminology for this vocal practice, as I usually to refer to it as 'vocal histrionics', and at the risk of offending my Canadian friends, I always felt the biggest violator is Celine Dion ...
Since Ms. Houston's is the version I've heard the most (and my personal preference), I kind of expect the song to be sung in this style, and at least this young lady NAILED it ...
