American Idol's Alyssa Wray Brings The Chills With Whitney Houston Classic - Inspirational Videos

American Idol hopeful Alyssa Wray inspires the judges with her heartfelt rendition of ‘Greatest Love Of All’ by Whitney Houston. This 1985 classic was actually a cover of George Benson’s 1977 song, ‘The Greatest Love Of All.’

Whitney’s rendition was an immediate success and reached number one on the top of the music charts. Decades later, it still remains a beloved music staple.

“I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier”

We first met Alyssa Wray when she performed ‘I Am Changing’ by Jennifer Hudson during her first American Idol audition. The moving performance even brought tears to Lionel Ritchie’s eyes. Since that moment, this small town star has broken out in a big way.

Now, she’s made it all the way to the top 16 and she’s leaving everything on the stage. Just listen as she belts out the words to ‘Greatest Love Of All.’

“Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me”

Guest judge Paula Abdul had rave reviews for the rising star. “You’re magnetic. There’s no doubt about it, you look like you’re a seasoned pro up there.” And we have to agree. Alyssa may have small town roots, but I’m seeing big things in her future.
