Ummm I don't know about that...

Whitney's version is good and "polished" but it lacks true feelings.

As for Dolly's version, you can feel the emotions.

Mickey Gilley's "Stand By Me" is better than the original. Tavares version of "More Than A Woman" is very good,almost as good as the Bee Gees one.

Also Rita Coolidge's "We're All Alone" is much better than the original sung by I think Boz Scaggs.On that song Ritas voice is so beautiful and smooth as silk. Such a relaxing beautiful song by Rita Coolidge.

Absolutely not. Whitney Houston just blares out the words and totally ruined the song. Dolly Parton's original has real emotion and depth, you can practically hear her heart breaking.
