XFactor Contestant Ashly Williams slays Whitney's signature song!

Written by Dolly Parton and recorded by multiple singers (including Parton), "I Will Always Love You" did not become a mega-hit until it was given the Whitney Houston treatment. She famously recorded the touching ballad for the soundtrack for her movie The Body Guard. Since then, many a contestant has sung that song in hopes of showcasing their talent. Last night on The XFactor, 24-year-old Ashly Williams did just that. She mesmerized the entire audience, even the hard-to-please Simon Cowell. All of the female judges were in tears, as was I. Ashly dedicated her performance to her mother, a murder victim. I have no doubt Ashley made her mother and Whitney proud. She will be the one the other contestants will need to beat out in this season's competition.Watch her performance in the video below. You will be moved.
