I love how she genuinely looks like she is having a great time

[FoxItAll]

I come back a few times a year to enjoy this masterpiece

[natalieportmanteau]

Where the hell do they find all these vocalists. Crazy amount of different from what you usually hear

[ericzenk]

great vocals. she's not trying to be Whitney (good luck with that :-) ), but brings her own thing to the song. Expressive, funky, in the pocket. awesome.

[MandaW-yu]

You never see sad musicians.
I love it.

[lagg-alot]

She Busted that song. Broke the mold. Set a new standard. You go girl.

[jack.merkel]

Tamir is just insane on every song he’s in. Grooves so tight on the kit. Love when he’s in the lineup!

[cwildeman]

Denim overalls and that big plastic comb in the back pocket. I'm back in high school in 1977...

[hookshot]

I have unexpectedly fell in love with this cover. Funk great, personal energy better. She brings it on soft, then bellows deep brilliance.

[stukennedy]

Scary Pockets, apart from great arrangements, great musicians, great production and mixing with perfectly matched vocalists ... you guys HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!! And it's totally infectious. This is what we've been missing for so long ... the joy of music and live collaborative performance.

[dostacos]

Great voice. Awesome groove. Drummer killed it.

[classicmwk]

I just don’t get it how these guys have so much shockingly amazing talent for each and every song! Do they have a line formed down the street of the best drummers, bass players, singers, horns, etc?!?! How the hell did you round us so much talent? This song was fantastic, and I just came from the Kiss cover followed by mmmbop. My mind is blown!

[oldladyrocker]

Excellent job Olivia! Not easy to cover Whitney, but this is a perfect version. And you're so happy, it's infectious 🤣🎵🌞 Band is slamming and sound is perfect!

[christophkruger]

I love her voice, the mix, the arrangement. Perfect!

[funnyschnocky]

The enthusiasm is so obvious and inspiring, can’t wait to see them in Chicago this April! 🤘👍🤘

[musa]

I was feeling sick and just rewatched this and now I actually feel better. No hyperbole. Thank you.

[igormaxwel]

Best version of this song for me. Scary Pockets and Olivia K. Harris are amazing talents. RIP Whitney Houston!
