Interesting. I wonder if it's gonna be a single.

Wow! I love Whitney's recording of that particular song so I am curious to hear how this has been reinvented with Pentatonix.

This better be good because Whitney's solo version is just perfect.

Is this another move by Pat Houston? "Higher Love," OK, that was a good move, as it was just Whitney's voice. But I am skeptical of this one.

Yeah, "Higher Love" was an unexpected joy because it's been a long enough time after her passing, had a relevant message to today, and showcased her voice with a more modern production (rather than just hitting "send" on scrapped tracks of yesteryear). Whitney's version of this song is excellent and that's more than enough for me.

I can’t stand this song but already grossed out by the inevitable gratuitous licensing of her recordings to squeeze every last penny out of her.

What would people rather they do? Release nothing? I mean, Whitney DOES have fans who want to continue to hear her voice in new and interesting ways.

I don’t like the song or Pentatonix, or the idea of releases like this.. you’re entitled to feel otherwise, just like you’re entitled to spend your coin on a hologram. Why is that hard to understand?

You know what, you could have said that without the smart ass remark at the end. It's like this - you are not a fan. Whatever goes on with the estate or with Whitney is not your concern, now is it?

If you want nice, I hear there’s a nicest poster nominees directory in the Pulse awards forum. I’m a Whitney fan (not a Pentatonix), so no idea where you’re pulling these accusations from. Like I said, I’m entitled to my opinion and you’re entitled to yours... and it’s fine, fine, fine, fine, fine!

Double standard. Moving right along.

Huh? Not sure what this effort to paint me as a Whitney hater is... like what the actual fuck.. she's one of my favorite singers ever.
I enjoyed "Higher Love," a lot. Not here for the hologram tour or reworks with random as hell acts like Pentatonix.. and I don't like "Do You Hear What I Hear" no matter who sings it. I didn't expect my opinion to turn this into a discussion about me, but never underestimate stan culture I guess?

Yah, who asked for this? Whitney's version of this song is the best, no need to tamper with it especially with an act as lame as Pentatonix.

"Higher Love" is also nice, in that the song was never released/promoted as a single prior, so it was "new." Whitney's version of DYHWIH, while not one of the BIG holiday tunes, still gets played a decent amount each year. So I don't see a need for this. But, let's wait until we hear it, I guess.

I mean, this isn't new for them. They covered "Jolene" and featured Dolly Parton.

I personally have not cared for Pentatonix since ever so I'd rather they not touch dearest Whitney's already wonderful song

Why isn't Pentatonix over yet? It's 2k19.

Why isn't Pentatonix over yet? It's 2k19. Because they have a dedicated fanbase, and are pretty consistent when it comes to album success. Every one of their albums has debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 except for their debut EP.
