Review: Watch country star Ty Herndon cover this Whitney Houston classic (Includes first-hand account)

This arrangement of the song is clever and infectious, featuring Herndon’s breathy and rumbling vocals, and it has neat reverb on the chorus.

Herndon is able to introduce this Whitney Houston classic to younger fans and listeners of country music and other genres; moreover, his distinct rendition is refreshing.

Herndon’s music video for this song compliments it quite well. The video is uplifting and a great deal of fun.

His version of “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” is available on iTunes and on Spotify.

The Verdict

Overall, Ty Herndon has done a soaring job covering Whitney Houston, and putting his own spin on one of Houston’s best-loved hits. It also showcases the growth and evolution of his sound, which seems promising. Herndon’s version of “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” is worth more than just a passing glance. It garners an A rating.
