Remix: "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Acoustic Version)" (Whitney Houston)


Last year, a fan of Whitney Houston created an acoustic remix of one of Whitney's classic jams "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and every now and the it comes across one of my playlists and I often ponder what a live acoustic performance from Houston would've sounded like. Entitled "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Acoustic Version)," Whitney's vocals from the original record are clearly stripped and backed by a beautiful acoustic instrumentation that this fan made. With that said, you can take a listen after the jump to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Acoustic Version)"  and Enjoy!
