Ben Rector - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Ben Rector covers Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”

We were listening to this song when I realized I was in love with the girl I was listening with. A few months later Ben Rector played at our university and we sent together and afterward we decided to start dating. We got married a year ago and we are going to see him live in April.

2 things happen when i listen to this:
1) i get goosebumps
2) I am immediately put into a great mood

[snelly]

what i love the most is that it was recorded before whitney died, so we all know he covered it because he truly admired her and the song not just because she died

[steveoops]

cool how everyone in this band looks like each other, and wear same outfit!

[bynbyn]

Best male cover of this song, 10 years ago and today. What a pleasant voice!

[Warlock_Sack]

Nah. Seen this guy live multiple times.
Between hearing this and him live, it's indistinguishable.
Definitely not auto tune.
Just his voice.

[anneliese]

2020 anyone??? This rendition never gets old!

[chloemontgomery]

All of his songs makes me get in a better mood ! Thank you Ben !

[DJFlashGordon]

Wow- if you had told me that anyone had remade this song and i should listen to it, let alone a man, let alone, well ANYONE, I would have said, “yeah I’ll pass, thanks!” But after listening to many of your songs on the drive to and from work, I decided why not listen and I’m glad that I did because this was so much fun and so creative. I played it three times in a row. Thanks for the music!❤

I normally don't like people covering Whitney's songs, but this is really EXCELLENT! Very nice!

This was the song that introduced me to Ben Rector. Been obsessed with his music ever since! His latest album is a mix of nostalgia for days gone by and the newfound wonder of being a father. Keep playing Ben!

I had searched, what feels like for ever, for the perfect song to walk down the aisle to at my wedding. I came upon this one and knew it was perfect!  I love your cover!

44 people can't tell what makes good music. I love Ben Rector. I like this more than the original. 😄

[mabrenne]

Wow.  I really REALLY wish this was available on iTunes.

[guitarfan]

Been browsing through different covers of this song. This is the only cover that gives justice to Whitney.

[jaredsteele]

Saw him perform this live in Austin, i can respectfully disagree with the auto tune comments. Hard to distinguish this from him live-he's a great singer.

[MARIAMARIA-vyiu]

Can't believe it's been 10yrs since this cover came out.. still one of my favorite covers of this Whitney Houston hit 😍🥰

[jecoyamartin]

his version of Whitney Houston's song made my heart smile... LOVE IT

[mitchgrube]

4 years late to this party but Whitney would approve of this take on one of her biggest hits--Love it ! Bravo !

it was posted 9 years ago and it's my first time to hear this cover... I'm too late
