Top 10 Best Whitney Houston Songs

Whenever you search the web for top-10 lists of Whitney Houston's songs, "I Will Always Love You" will consistently be at number one. Originally recorded by Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" is one of the best-selling singles ever and the most successful song by a female artist. With powerhouse vocals and rich, rapid vibrato, this song is Whitney Houston's signature piece.

No entertainer in the world could sing for 45 seconds without the slightest instrumental accompaniment as emotionally and vividly as Whitney Houston in "I Will Always Love You," the theme song for the movie "The Bodyguard," featuring Whitney Houston and, of course, Kevin Costner. Whitney Houston won 16 awards for this song, including a Grammy Award.

Take my love, I never ask for too much. Whitney, you were amazing, beautiful, intelligent, a person that I really adored. On February 11, 2012, I felt like I had nothing because you weren't here to share your love with us. I love you.

The song itself expresses how you felt - you loved everybody, and I thank you and God for showing us what love is. Rest in peace, baby.

Although "I Will Always Love You" is more popular, this one is most definitely her greatest work! The vocal ability, range, and octave changes in this song scream spectacular!

It's without a doubt my favorite and her best. It should at least be number two.

I had always heard of Whitney's legacy but never had the chance to hear her beautiful songs. Recently, when I listened to them, I couldn't bring myself to listen to anything else. Her music is so beautiful and amazing, and Whitney's voice is tremendously soothing.

It makes me cry every time I hear the part, "And I wish you joy and happiness/But above all this I wish you love." There's no doubt she's one of the greatest female singers of all time.

Truly one of the best songs by Whitney and the most fun. I'm not sure if funnest is a word, but whatever. This is really such a fun song!

I love the beat, and the video is cool too!

I want to tell you something - this is my favorite Whitney Houston song. However, I had to place it in the top 6, although it deserves a spot even before the top 1. I feel it's more like a song that makes a person delve deep into themselves, acknowledge their mistakes, and feel how life embraces them with what they have worked for.

I believe that anyone who is a fan of Whitney Houston and hasn't heard this song is committing a sin.

This is a difficult song to sing due to lots of high-note verses. It takes a person with great talent and soul to be able to pull off singing this track.

A very touching and positive song indeed!

This song is MY jam! I always thought this song was just a fun and happy song to play. It has a great beat and sweet vocals, and who can forget Whitney trying to do her thing with the backup dancers?

Just like I Wanna Dance with Somebody, this beautiful and catchy track marked Whitney as a versatile artist. In the '80s, she sang not only powerful ballads but also very cool disco/dance tracks. I adore How Will I Know. I still listen to it over and over again.

Rest in peace, the Queen of Voice, Whitney Houston!

One of her most amazing songs! It's a song any woman can relate to who's in love with a man but doesn't know if he feels the same way.

She was and always will be amazing.

One of Whitney's oldest songs, but I hate to say this: This song should also be top 1 on this list. It is known as the "best romantic song ever by a female artist." A jazzy, inspiring, and heart-embracing song, with lyrics that beautifully depict what love is, even when it involves cheating. Here's how it begins: "A few stolen moments is all that we share, you've got your family, and they need you there."

The best song for me. It is from a lover's point of view. She knows it's wrong to love someone else's man, but she can't help it.

A difficult song to relate to, but Whitney makes us sympathize with the woman in love. Love this song!

A very beautiful song, a total MUST-HEAR. If I didn't explain a lot about this song, it doesn't mean I am underestimating it.

You must hear Run to You!

It uplifts my spirit. After losing the love of my life, I keep on listening to it more often. I loved Whitney more than anything.

Her songs are so amazing.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Such a meaningful song that gives you tears in your eyes.

This song is filled with such emotion.

This is my favorite Whitney Houston song. Absolutely superb - the vocals, the lyrics, the music. It's sultry and smooth. Since it was mostly played on R&B stations, and on BET and VH1 (not MTV yet), I understand why it is ranked low. Not many people knew this one as much as Saving All My Love for You, which was her next song and her first number 1. Nonetheless, I think it's one of her best.

Why so low? This song is great. Well, not as great as #1-4, but still, this song is great.

My favorite Whitney Houston song ever. I hold no regrets in saying that.

This is such a wonderful song. It epitomizes Whitney's exceptional vocal talent because it's a song full of high notes and belting, and its lyrics are very inspirational and extremely meaningful. It can quickly bring someone to tears. It is one Houston song that should not be missed, for it showcases Whitney's vocal ability.

The greatest song that I heard, and for me, she was a wonderful lady. I miss her and her voice, especially because she had a wonderful voice that God gave her.

Love this song. The main reason, of course, is because she's singing it. One of her best songs in hitting the high note. Very powerful. Fantastic!

Whitney Houston's cover of Steve Winwood's 1986 hit was originally featured on the Japanese edition of her third studio album, I'm Your Baby Tonight. It was only released in Japan as a bonus cut. The song lay dormant for 28 years, but everything changed in 2019. Houston's estate and RCA Records targeted a Norwegian DJ named Kygo for a 2020 collaboration.

Her sister-in-law, Pat Houston, was particularly sold on working with him because of his tasteful tropical house remix of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing. And the rest is history. Higher Love has been streamed 548 million times on Spotify, ranking just behind the first placer, I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me).

Original song and reminiscent of the time period. Hormones flying through the air.

I adore this song. I listen to it all the time. It never gets old.

Rest in peace, Whitney. Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful smile. We will miss you so much. It's too bad today's kids will never hear real talent like yours, natural without a computer to autotune your voice. So sad to lose a talent like this. I hope others who need it will now get the help they need.

I love this song. Best song Whitney ever sang! Awesome lyrics as well!

Rest in peace, sweet lady!

I was born in 1999, but my mom raised me on Whitney. When she died, my mom cried.

What a terrible loss.

True masterpiece from Whitney Houston. This song should be at least in the Top 5.

Very beautiful voice, melodious sound, and touching lyrics. Whitney's performance is adorable.

Just perfection! This is the most emotional performance I've ever heard. I can't listen to this song only once.

Her vocal abilities are exceptional, and the closing of this song is magnificent.

I just love how she hits the notes. It's not her biggest hit, but it is surely one of her best.

Amazing song. The fact that Whitney originally didn't like the song but still sang it perfectly just goes to show what a wonderful singer she is.

I'm surprised it's at #13.

I really want to know why this song is not in her top 10. It's a very beautiful song. She touches this song like she kisses her loved one.

It is a very special song for me. It brings back special memories and dreams.

Whitney, you're still in my heart, even if it is broken.

Always loved this song from when it first came out all those years ago.

It's so beautiful!

I adore Whitney's vocals in this song. One of her most brilliant songs.

Can't understand why it's not top 3... With its outstanding lyrics...

This song really has no genre, which makes it fantastic. Her power and high notes and runs seem like they'd be in an R&B song, but I think it crosses over well.

This song gives me chills. I feel this song in my soul as if I'm singing it!

I agree with you, this is a beautiful song. When Whitney came out with this song, it hit my heart. I was young and didn't know which way to go with my relationship with my twins' father. Whitney made me a stronger person. It's not right, but it's okay, I'm gonna make it anyway.

This song is THE BOMB! Truly the best song to listen to during your afternoon getaway.

But seriously, this song is so underrated. It should be in the top 10.

Best song. The words are incredible. Whitney is still the best singer of all.

She is an icon. She has the VOICE, the LOOK, the SMILE.

The most powerful duet of all time. An essential tune, especially in this pandemic.

Such a beautiful song and amazing voice from Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.

Love this song very much.

With Mariah, two of the greatest divas. What a clash of the titans!

Her most underrated song ever. It wasn't released as a single.

Not a typical Whitney Houston hit, nor the most notable showcase for her vocal gymnastics, but at once laid-back and intense, by turns subtle and then jarring - a masterpiece.

"My Love Is Your Love" - there's so much heart in it, you can't help but feel it.

Amazing vocal performance! It's as strong as I Will Always Love You.

I Learned from the Best reminds me of myself and my relationship.

Definitely one of the most underrated Whitney songs - beautiful as always, powerful as usual, emotional and touching. Real Whitney Houston!

This song has made my life like a miracle. Goodbye, my lovely singer. RIP.

There will never be another Whitney Houston for me.

You need a miracle to be able to sing this song... So beautiful!
