That's because I Will Always Love You covered by Whitney was bigger than Dolly's original song. Ayumi's cover of MOWY is not even close to the original source, if we base on popularity. Sometimes a cover can replace the original, like it happened to IWALY, but it's not the case for MOWY.

I don't really mind seeing her perform this song again, I just think it's not a wise choice for FNS Kayousai. Even when singers do their own songs and they are electronic/up-beat, it feels kinda awkward with all the orchestra there.
