Whitney Houston Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

Guess the Whitney Houston song from the a cappella opening of 'I Will Always Love You', then test your trivia on her uptempo pop, 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' and 'How Will I Know', the Bodyguard ballad 'I Have Nothing', and the covers she owned, 'Greatest Love of All' and 'I'm Every Woman'. See how well you really know Whitney Houston by ear alone.

The uptempo hits everyone sings along to

Start with the songs that get a room moving. 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody', 'How Will I Know', 'So Emotional' and 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' are the bright, uptempo pop hits most players name at once. These are the easy points before the quiz leans on the ballads.

Where the voice carries the song alone

Here is where a Whitney Houston quiz gets tricky. 'I Will Always Love You' begins with her voice and nothing else, then climbs to the key change everyone remembers, and slow-burners like 'Didn't We Almost Have It All' and 'All the Man That I Need' work the same way. You place these from the singing, not from a beat, which is exactly where casual fans wait too long.

The Bodyguard and the soundtrack run

The deepest points sit in her film work. Beyond 'I Will Always Love You', The Bodyguard gave her 'I Have Nothing', 'Run to You' and 'Queen of the Night', and later soundtracks added 'I Believe in You and Me' and 'Exhale (Shoop Shoop)'. Name those from a clip and the soundtrack years stop being the round that catches people out.

The covers she made her own

Some of her signatures started in other hands. 'Greatest Love of All' was first cut by George Benson, and 'I'm Every Woman' was a Chaka Khan record before Houston, gospel-trained from childhood, made both feel like hers. A thorough Whitney Houston quiz knows the originals.
