@72, LOL I know what u mean. Try readin the recent review of Usher’s album—a whole load of nothing!!!

To all u fools that keep saying that she doesn’t sound like she used to…NEWSFLASH…whitney is about to be 45…when she was at her peak she was 30…as u get older your voice deepens…what the hell do ya’ll expect?…the song is NICE…whitney wasn’t hittin those notes in 98 on her last successful album that sold 4 million copies…Whitney is makin this album not as a comeback album..but just to prove a point and leave the industry with a solid piece of work and repair her image…so to all u IDIOTS that say that she doesnt soundthe same..who the hell are YOU?…she’s not supposed to..hell u dont sound the same as you did 5 years ago…and you’re probably fatter too…so get YOURSELF together before you make comments about others…WHITNEY KEEP GOIN..I SUPPORT YOU!!!…I’m really likin the song…these idiots can go kick rocks because they know NOTHING about music.

@53,i’ve never looked at things like that but i agree

as for whitney,i love her music but i think her past will hinder any type of comeback…people will hear her songs and crack the same ol’ jokes about her drug usage and abusive ex-husband….

If Mariah can do it so can Whitney…and she’s a better singer. I’m routing for Whitney on her comeback. This song is cool, but I hope it’s not her lead, I want to hear some more vocal gymnastics for that.

#76 What about the review he gave N.E.R.D.? LOL! He described thinking it would be good and then concluded with basically “I was right. I liked it.” LOL! SMH

Welcome back Whitney, love her, I know Monica don’t get love on here but I am looking forward to Monica’s project, I sent some pics to Angel of Monica’s new promo pics but they were not posted so if your interested to see them search the net and you will. Still Standing 2008. Her kids pics are looking so good and her promo pics for her show are so hot.

@ PIXIE IS CENSORED

LOL….you know what i dont even know why i read it, i just read the first then i thought oh.. i might as well keep reading…

whitney is the truth.even after all she has been thru she is one of those artists that will never be duplicated

Everyone wants to hear whitney do these unneccesary vocal gymnastics on this song when it doesn’t need all that. First of all, concrete loops holy grail Rhianna the Haircut, doesn’t even come close to singing this great, hell there is barely any other chick who can sing like this on radio. But everyone loves the bull artists. This track is hot. But hey I bet most of these wack comments are from people who’s album collection is full of individuals from 2004-present. This voice is classic.

I will always love Whitney…like one person said she is human…so I don’t hold anything against her either. But it is still sad, because obviously she cannot hit the high notes anymore. And that’s what made Whitney. If I listen hard enough (although it may be my own imagination), while she’s singing I hear a little of that Akon/T-Pain robotic assistance in her voice…i think. I’m really not feeling the song, but I will always be rooting for Whitney.

Angel can Monica get some love on your site please.

OMGosh I love this song!! So glad Whitney is BACK!!!!

SHHHEEEEE’S BBBBBAAAACCCKKKKK!!!!! My Idol… LOVE HER!!!

NONE ONE CAN EVER SING LIKE WHITNEY!!! THE HARMONY THE FEEL FOR THE SONG IS ORIGNIAL N NATURAL, SHE SINGS ORIGINAL!!! OOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEE I CAN SEE IT ALREADII 20MILLION SOLD OUT ALBUMS IN 1WEEK WHEN IT DROPS!!

*line*

Welcome Back Whitney….U know we never give up on one of our Queens….Keep on keepin on Ma’
God Bless
Love the track…

Thanks for posting something new from Whitney. I’m glad her much delayed album is finally about to be released. I like the song. Its a good album filler track, but not a single. It’s the perfect song though to create buzz on her album.

Thanks for posting the song! I’m so glad Whitney is coming back! I love the song, I’m sure this is just a buzz single. Obviously I’m sure we’ll hear big ballads soon.

Whitney is back!

I love it. She sounds great, and Akon is helping not hurting the song at all.

That new Whitney song is a banger!!!! Whitney I am so glad you are back……

Whitney… LOVE IT!!!!!

It’s okay but I’m used to her powerhouse voice from the “I Will Always Love You” days. This song is mediocre & watered down.

SO I SEE CONCRETELOOP IS GOING TO BE SHADY…ABOUT THE DANITY KANE BAD GIRL POST….SMH JUST LIKE THEY DID DAY26…

SO I GUESS…CONCRETELOOP IS GOING TO BE SHADY ABOUT THE DANITY KANE BAD GIRL POST…SHADY!!! JUST LIKE YALL DID DAY26…SMH!!! {DISAPPOINTED}

Angel can Monica get some love on here?

Love it! Whitney is a LEGEND. Hataz …fall the hell back!!!!!!

i jope thos song isn’t to bobby…i think it’s aiight i love whitney so does my mom but i want her to come back doin some classic whitney style stuff, this doesn’t really cut and alrite as this song is gad it been from anybody but whitney i wouldn’t listen o it twice

I am rooting for Whitney so much that I can overlook Akon on the track. I like it.

As much as we all love Whitney, be have to be real, her time has probably passed. The song, if sang by anybody else would be nothing spectacular. It’s not a catchy or memorable song at all. How did it go again? Also, Whitney is responsible for her own demise and no one else. Unfortunately, in this oversaturated celebrity world, we know far too much about Ms. Houston’s real character from her foray into the world of reality TV (a big mistake!). Are we just going to forget that we saw Ms. Houston being “Susan” in all her unexpurgated glory in “Being Bobby Brown”?

It’s funny, it seems like Mary J Blige and Whitney Houston have been Switched!!!
MJB on a solid path in a stable relationship and well Ms. Houston, fighting to stay newsworthy. Wishing her all the best, but the entertainment industry is tough on women over 40. And the music business is equally harsh to vocalists who’s chops are still in top form. She can’t be fake singin’ and talkin’ through songs, eitha, no more crappy fake soul Christmas albums.

Love u Nippy! But sing or sit your ass on down!

I love this song!! Whitney’s gonna be alright!!

Hey Angel, how was the Blogging While Brown Conference?

What was disussed and such forth?
Hope you had fun CL! And I hope you guys make a post about it.

-Chantal Rochelle

The song is a nice groove…I think its a teaser track tho…Whitney sounds better than her previous album…I’m just glad she releasing new music…Akon needs to stick to producing…his verses are annoying…she’s gonna have to come harder tho…November is a crowded month for releases…Beyonce, Brandy and Ciara albums come out that month…but Whitney is a legend and B is a legend in the making( a mixture of Tina and Diana) so we shall see…

It’s ok…nuffn to write home about. It’ll make it to the iPod…..BTW~Luvn Akon feat MJ. No one can adlib like Mike!!!!

Barack da Vote:)

I’m really feeling this song. Grown and Sexy music. Yes, Whitney has already made alot of great songs. I believe this comeback will be huge and the fans would except her with open arms.

Didnt get to here the song

Personally whitney is not my cup of tea. She was a manufactured pop tart, like soo many other singers out there. Yes she could sing, but she was never the greatest singer. I hate artists who are so manufactured and thats how Whitney was back in the day, she just did what Clive and anyone else told her and she kept that pop puppet image throughout her career.

Very, very nice. Go Whitney!

And, uh, Brian when you said ” and just embrace her again as the icon that she was.”

The “was” should be changed to “IS.”

And oh yea, Clive Davis, please remove Akon’s voice from the song soon.

This is HOT! Whitney still has it. She can out sing most of these chicks out now. Do ya thing ma!!!

This is boring, the voice is gone, it’s been replaced with an average voice, where is the beauty of “Saving all my Love”, the Power and Delivery of “Greatest Love of All”, the passion of “You Give Good Love”, the Hurt in “Didn’t we Almost have it all”, or the purity of “I’ll Always Love You”.

It’s gone. Mariah please carry the torch. With Whitney lost, Anita Baker not recording, SADE missing in Action, Chante Moore having lackluster production, We need a real vocalist. Please no more lip-singing.

She looks beautiful and sexy,hot I saw her profile on millionaire dating site “”"”"NYwealthyMatch . c o m”"”" last week. “She is very picky about guys on that site”, according to the officials of that site.

Its Whitney, what can u say the girl is bad. I liked it and yes i do think she is apologizing to her fans and i except. I love you whitney dont ever stop singing.

OMG i luv it

its definently refreshing

& akon …. yeah not doin it for me

u remember that song she released w/ dione warick & her mom , she sounds was better. she’s made alot of progress

now can we get a weezy remix, lol. kidding ! or am i ?

i’m so much ah whitney fan that she can do no wrong….the song was excellent. sounds real refreshing too me….good job wit

She’s healthy again…..you can see it!…..Please take notice Whitney you have favor with God……honor him by doing what’s right…he knows you’re human…but at least try your very best to stay in his light this time.

Wack. The song is dry and boring. People continously clown Mariah’s voice, but Whitney doesn’t sound like anything anymore. And to the person who clowned Mariah for dressing like a hooker, wouldn’t that be more acceptable than someone who is/was a crackhead? I’ll say. Besides, Whitney fans are basically the last to talk shit about Mariah’s voice. Whitney doesn’t sound like shit anymore. I mean at least Mariah still sounds great in concert.

I see there are Mariah Stans ^^ that couldn’t wait to come hate on Whitney as usual. It’s tired and predictable by now. I know it’s hard to accept the fact that Mariah will always be in the shadow of Ms. Houston. Face it, Mariah doesn’t get the same kind of love and respect that Whitney, The Voice, gets. Mariah will always be the second fiddle. Whitney can pick up a crackpipe now and smoke from here to eternity and her legacy is still set. The Bodyguard alone whoops anything Mariah has or will ever do.

NO PASSION IN HER VOICE. while i do think she sounds better than she has in years. This song is corny, it’s like putting Aretha Franklin and Soulja boi on the same record, Whitney is a Legend and Akon is a fad. He’s not gonna be around 10 years from now. NOT COOL.

Mariah, i agree with most of ya’ll, on her new CD she is singing her butt off, Thanks for Nothing and I wish you well bring The VOCALS. It does make me say..SING BIT_CH. Tell those haters and cheat ass Nizza to BOUNCE. SING MARIAH>

WHITNEY, sad sad sad,

I enjoyed this song because it has a nice groove to it outside of many of the things you hear today. It’s a more mature song not some booty popping stuff. Whitney is up there in age guys so no I’m not expecting her to work with Timbo or Stargate. To me that would be a stupid move. I can see her working with Quincy, B Cox, Wyclef, Jimmy jam and Terry, and babyface for her hitmakers. I didn’t really like Akon on this track. Whitney’s voice alone would have been great. I can’t wait to hear more from her.

Wow,she is cool!I like her music very much.Her profile was found on M i l l i o n a i r e4me.com It is said she produces new music with her lovely companion.who is it?You can see on the site.Don’t miss it .

THIS IS A MESS….and Whitney has access to Industry leaders and this is the best she could come up with….

Whitney take a cue from all the other Legends of old…switch gears…do a standards album (i.e. Natalie Cole, Chaka Khan, Deborah Cox) and leave POPular music alone….

Oh but i forgot, you actually have to be able to sing to do standards….MY BAD !

maybe it is better for u to go up against the Ashantis, Rihannas and Solanges of the world…Lord knows your voice has been reduced to their level…

DJ MUTHA

[...] were out celebrating the release of Whitney’s new single, “Like I Never Left,” (listen to it here). What’s up with that ring on her hand too? Who [...]

[...] • New music! From Whitney Houston! [CL] [...]

Say what you say but that damn woman can sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to see her come back strong. and she can if she really wants to.
But it is yet to be seen. but Im pulling for her.
Good song.

I love you Whitney and will always support you. WELCOME BACK Lady!!!!

Ditto # 75, luuv Whit, but just aint feelin da song.

Well I have fallen in love with this song. Whitney’s voice is sounding strong, and pure again. I hear her heart in this song and yes…..our girl is coming….like she never left, and I can’t wait!!!!!

She’ll be giving us what we’re miss-sangggg!!! Absolutely. Kudos to her family, true fans, Ne Yo, and Akon, and Clive Davis for having faith in her even at her lowest times in her life.

Whitney keep your head up stay close to your true roots (Christ, Church, Christ, Church), and you’ll be good.

—Love ya can’t wait till the day I see ya!!!

me likey, likey,likey i will buy it great soulful beat

Miss Houston is coming back!! LOL All you haters watch this!!!!

i love whitney!!!!!!!!! go girl… we missed u so much.. ul always be the best….can’t wait for ur CD.mwah.

Go Whitney!!! Make your comeback girl.

Whit looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God has the last word not man so what she made some mistakes don’t we all, but we still would not like God to give up on us so she is no different. Keep walking in faith whit don’t let people have the last say about your life because your Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ is there , and he is ever forgiving and has so much mercy. Keep singing whit God gave you that voice ,and he will continually heal the more you trust in him. Whitney is singer and not a circus show so I will support the black queen reguardless of how the world sees her because I no what faith is all about. Glory to God. I speak light and life into her life. Amen

I love Whitney she is the best of the best but, this is nice a good vocal performance and Akon, should not be singing a whole verse, he is not a singer @ oils… Mess. the music sounds good. Hopefully the name WHITNEY HOUSTON & AKON will carry the song, I personally thinks my girls needs more rest, she did not tear it up over night and she is not going to heal it over night.
I want her to put her best foot forward because there is no one like Whitney.. Best of Luck
