I thought The Pointer Sisters were singing but it was Whitney Houston . . .

Yeah, you're right, but . . .  :)

I believe this was Whitney's first hit maybe - - or at least it was the first song I had heard from her -- I didn't know who she was. Yes, I admit that the song sounds similar to The Pointer Sisters to me. 
:)
And at several spots in the song, at the chorus and "Don't trust your feelings" spots. to me it sounds like more than one singer.
:)
Perhaps - - most likely- - it's all Whitney just overdubbed or something.

Anyway, I know you're right -- now that I'm very familiar with Houston's voice, it sounds like her. (And still a bit like The Pointer Sisters! Ha!)

Thanks for answering, Shar to the Rona!
:)

So who did you think was singing? Alvin and the Chipmunks?

What in blazes are you going on about?????

Erm.... your answer to Welby's question, "Have you ever had the wrong artist in your head when hearing a song?"   

Yeah, well, I just said that it didn't sound at all like Whitney who has only one voice.

So why would you ask me if I thought it was the Chipmunks.  That made no sense to me.

You posted this as a separate answer which made no sense to me.

Oh.  I knew we would find the reason behind all this.

Let's move on.  Onward and upward.

Smiley can only wish to be equated with Bruce.
:)

And if you want to, listen to Miley's song again -- when it first came out, I though for sure in the choruse she was singing " I came in like a RAINNNN -- Bow !!"
:)

I'm idiotic at times. 
:)
But a nice idiot.

She actually PICKED that stinker when she had a million choices.

Ha! Your comment is worded perfectly here to me here, Shar to the Rona! It made me laugh, thanks!
:)

Springsteen? Are you criticizing Springsteen? Best go elsewhere then. Them's fighting words.

I don't like that song and I don't really like him much either.  (sorry)  He's got a few good ones.

Lol.... a few? Three plus hours worth at a typical (sold-out) Springsteen concert. Not too shabby for a 67 year old man with a career spanning more than 40 years.

Best to move on here as well.......

Oh, YEAH!! I would think the same thing!
Except this guy is a bit more attractive in a cuter way than Presley in my opinion -- though that has nothing to do with the logistics of your answer, I realize, ALF! (Like you said, before music videos and the internet)
:)
It's a nice song, too -- I hadn't heard it before.

Ha! Someone else besides us thought the same thing, ALF! This video was suggested after I listened to your post. A mix of both Stafford and Presley singing the song!
:)

I didn't think Elvis that ever recorded it, but it seems like I was wrong.  They are quite different though.

Elvis Presley - "Suspicion"

Yeah, that's way different than either that "mix" or Stafford's version. I like Stafford's version better, based upon my initial quick listenings just now to them.
:)
But Presley's is good, too. This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at August 22, 2017 8:45 PM MDT

I like Stafford's version better also and I'm a big Presley fan.

I never noticed! Ha!
Yeah, I like her singing a lot, too.
Thanks for answering, Thriftymaid!
