Your gateway to endless inspiration
This youtube cover of Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You should be more appreciated, because Christina Grimmie was pure talent. She should be here right now still singing but never got the chance to reach megastardom due to someone taking her life away. Still, she made the song her own, giving it her own combination of strength and sweetness, her own soulful, melodious resonance, her own seemingly effortless modulation between soft and powerful tones, and her command of the whole range of volume, dynamics, and the entire palette of sonic nuance her voice could employ. The voice of Christina Grimmie is unique, inimitable, and -- like Whitney Houston -- worthy of the word "GREAT." RIP Christina Grimmie 1994-2016.
