That was special ! She owned that audition. She's an angel. Beautiful voice. ❤❤❤

I met Lucie a few years after she was on X Factor. She had just finished a performance of Les Mis on the West End, and she was absolutely lovely. Spent 45 minutes talking to fans and taking pictures.

I love how she doesn't try and overdo it. She doesn't try and out-Whitney Whitney Houston. This is much more like the original Dolly Parton version of the song and it perfectly captures the feeling.

That was a Dolly Parton song. She released it twice and sent it to the top of the charts. She also sang it in the movie Best Little Whorehouse In Texas.

Lucie is still singing professionally and represented us in the Eurovision song contest.

That was insane! This young lady is going to go far! I had to watch this like a million times to believe I was actually seeing and hearing this! It's absolutely unbelievable how talented and humble she is. She was petrified but she did it! 100% nail on the head! ❤

Luci, that was soo beautiful ❤

Dolly's comment about Whitney's version was an example of Dolly's humility, and her graciousness towards another singer. Yes, Whitney DID yell it, whereas Lucie sang it more like Dolly does : with the amazing pathos in her voice that gives it that 'heartbroken' quality. To me, the Whitney version conveys a sense of self - pity or bitterness, while Dolly's and Lucie's are an expression of genuine enduring love.

Just beautiful!!! Lucie is a star!!

She surprised everyone including Simon. What a voice❤

This gives me such a Dolly Parton's original version feel with a hint of Whitney's.

An absolute sweetheart... Beautiful voice indeed 💜💌

Whitney Houston covered "I Will Always Love You" in 1992 for the movie "The Bodyguard", but Dolly Parton wrote and originally recorded this song in 1973.

Wow! Tears for Lucie for that performance and for Whitney thinking about what should have been. Lucie really does not know how amazing is. So happy for her parents and family too.

Hello, I'm sure Dolly Parton would be proud of her. Lucie Jones did her best.

It's like she had the best of when Whitney sang it and the best of when Dolly sand it that made each version so special and blended them both and wow amazing.

Loved her interpretation!

She born to sign,she amazing❤🤗

As much as I like whitney Houston Lucie delivered this version impeccably with perfect vibrato and without yelling out the notes , Brilliant!

She is lovely, has talent and sings a lot, with great promise. Ela é uma simpatia, tem talento e canta muito, uma grande promessa.

Tonal quality is quite impressive! Her notes were spot on from what I heard! The timing was different, but she sang it her way, which is what she's supposed to do, and she did it well!

Yes, let's remember it's a Dolly Parton song, not a Witney song!

Not only was it written by Dolly Parton, but it was written as a farewell song for her then singing partner and her mentor Porter Wagoner. If yall need or want to know more about this song, then as I'm often told to do Google it. Nuff Said.

Beautiful, just beautiful!

Whitney made it popular in the film "The Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner in 1992, which is why everyone thinks it's "her" song. Yes, Dolly released it originally in 1974, but it didn't quite have the same success for Dolly as it did for Whitney, hence the previous statement. Just saying...

Really: I know a lot of people think Simon is kind of a jerk. But, he is an incredible judge of talent, when he says the performer is not singing up to par, or has picked the wrong song for themselves... he's always right. And, unlike some judges on these shows, you can tell that every cell in his body is listening to the performer, especially when they are surprisingly good. Amanda is the same way. And, when his often stern demeanor sees true talent, especially if the performer is genuine & has a measure of humility...he'll crack that wide, genuine smile, and you know "you've made it".

She was awesome

She's awesome.

Beautiful performance. ❤

Just needs training to make it perfect! So MUCH is there!!!!!!! She didn't change the key, just the tempo down a notch.

Sheryl has to be one of the most beautiful women ever.

this is quiet an old video (reposted)

OK, let's get this right.That is dolly parton song not whitney

Subtitles ?

Old clip

This was closer to how Dolly Parton, who wrote the song, probably envisioned singing it. Intensely personal, without the vocal histrionics, which frankly, I found irritating in Whitney Houston's version (Although Houston was a vocalist without peer). There are many ways to interpret a song, and this was beautiful.

She is not Whitney, but did a good job .

Holy smokin wow!

Why would Simon make a remark like that before she has even begun to sing!
