Have you heard the original Dolly Parton version of I will always love you? She's got a less forceful voice in general, and her version was a much gentler delivery on top of that.
Not saying anything about you liking or not liking the song, just curious if it's Whitney that's the problem, the arrangement, or the song itself.
I didn't even know Dolly sang the original, I've only ever heard Whitney's version. Dolly's is... slightly better, I think because like you said it is gentler. Still not a fan. Also I hear the Whitney Houston version at least once a day at work, that's a big reason why I hate the song
