Listen: Sam Smith Covers Whitney Houston

It's no secret (or surprise), I love Whitney Houston. Blame it on the countless Saturday nights in my early twenties spent twirling and screaming at the top of my lungs to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" at Phoenix Landing.

Earlier this week one of my college friends sent me a link to a YouTube video of Sam Smith covering Whitney's smash hit "How Will I Know." You may recognize Sam Smith from his popular Top 40 song "Stay With Me."

Here's the cover:

He sings the song with such a beautiful desperation.

I'm not the only one who loves this cover, the video has racked up over two million views.

Enjoy the performance!
