With her incredible performance of Houston’s classic hit I Will Always Love You, we’re sure this is not the last we’ve seen of this talented young girl from the Netherlands.

The song, I Will Always Love You, was originally written and made a hit by Dolly Parton. Houston made the tune popular again on the soundtrack of her blockbuster film, The Bodyguard.

In an interview with CMT, Parton revealed that Kevin Costner, an American actor, director, producer, and musician, first approached her about the song.

She said: “Kevin Costner and his secretary are the ones that loved the song."

“They had another song that was going to go in that place, and someone had recorded the song they were going to use. They were just in a panic at the last minute. And so they asked me about the song. I sent it. I didn’t hear anything more," Parton added.
