  Hmmm.... come to think of it I do remember that and I probably sided 
with Dolly for that reason and still do. We may have been comparing the 
two studio versions though. Whitney's particular delivery of that song 
live was not as emotive as Dolly's version either, but her vocal skills 
were/are absolutely amazing. She sounded better live than in the studio. 
It was one of the best live vocal performancesI have ever heard.
 "Technical" doesn't usually warrant top points from me, as you normally 
have at least a handful of people elite enough in their craft to make an 
arguable point about your personal favorite. Since I really don't care 
for female R&B vocals, less Sade who I consider Jazz/R&B anyway, I don't 
really have a "favorite." Whitney simply "mowed me down" with her voice.
