Songstress Melanie Fiona has paved out her own little niche in this music industry, and has decided that it only be right if she gave back. In honor of one of her Idols, Melanie Fiona covers the late Whitney Houston’s “One Moment In Time” as a tribute to the 1 year anniversary of her passing. Check out the intimate unplugged Billboard performance after the jump!

Melanie Says she sang a Whitney song because this particular track “One Moment In time” is almost like the best song ever written. It’s like a forgotten gem in her catalog. Blending her sultry, raspy voice with the strum of the guitar, Melanie attacks this cover with such passion. Watch the beautiful Fiona, rocking a black leather vest and retro print collard shirt below!
