And I've always been of the controversial opinion that Whitney was hollow vocally at times - on a lot of the ballads, I'm not moved emotionally, more overwhelmed by the voice. On her dancier songs, every word felt sincere and authentic.
Wow, been saying this for years. She could get lost in vocal acrobatics. I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day!
Back in 1985 no one would have probably imagined just how huge and global Whitney was going to be. After two low-scoring singles, she could've become yet another great vocalist with a minor following (Phyllis Hyman, anyone?). Then came this song. It became her first #1 on the R&B charts and crossed over to the pop charts, eventually hitting number three and selling a million plus physical copies of the single. It is one of her true classics, and one that truly showcases the beauty of her voice.
Dcode78 finds it blissful . Same thing here. On the other hand, why Connor hates it is just puzzling. He has this to say: "At least the production is nice. The chorus is nice but the verses are a bit tew much. We get it, you can sing girl. Hold back a bit, maybe? Jessie J teas." To quote him, this is not the enemy, boo boo.
