♫ NEW MUSIC FROM WHITNEY HOUSTON ♫

Saturday, July 26, 2008

WHITNEY HOUSTON FEAT. AKON - LIKE I NEVER LEFT

Whitney Houston joins forces with hitmaker Akon to bring you some new music. “Like I Never Left” is a cool mid-tempo love song, but when listening, I kind of think it has two meanings. I detected a bit of, I don’t know, an apology from Whitney Houston in some form? Almost as if she wants her fans to overlook what’s been going on in her personally life, and just embrace her again as the icon that she was.

Whitney has been performing, so hopefully this will be her comeback for the new album that people have been talking about for a while now. Supposedly, she is also working with Ne-Yo for this upcoming project.

I am definitely loving this right here. And I agree on the subliminal message. I am very excited for Whitney - the Legend. She’s human - I don’t hold anything against her, because from what I see, she’s trying. Much love Whitney, bring it back like you never left!

What the hellz is this junk, she’s a LEGEND, where is the voice? where is the great hook, here’s what i think, she got drunk, went into the studio with Akon (accused molester) and came out with some junk, i just don’t understand why whitney doesn’t even try…..

Ashanti could have sung this better…I’m so disappointed, junk, junk, junk…..

who would have thought Mariah would sing Whitney under a table

Whitney’s hey day has passed. The Boyguard represented her peak of her voice and popularity. However; I must say that alot has changed since then and I am proud of her for getting herself together. Now “Like I Never Left” is not groundbreaking, but it is a very nice song. The melody is subtle and just enough, avoiding being over-produced. The lyrics and title are two-fold, addressing the public vs Whitney as well as the songs fictional love interest. I am excited to hear the tone in Whitney’s voice sounding better than it has in years. We as fans should be realistic. She has already made the greatest music of her career. Considering the changes she has gone through I’m pleased with what I hear. My only hope is that the changes have affected her personal life as well.

to your comment TYTY, whitney does not need to sing big ballads whith long powerful notes on all her songs, this song is a nice refreshing summer song.

Ashanti could not even sing a nuresery ryhme so PLEASE dont say her name along with the voice.

In reference to Mariah singing Whitney under the table, if that involves dressing like a hooker and pressing buttons in her ears to make awful sounds, lip synching and awful cheography, ok then

I actually like the song a lot. It’s nice to hear some new stuff from whitney! And about Mariah singing better than Whitney….PLEASE. Mariah’s best is long gone as well. So just enjoy them both for what they are bringing to the table.

Average song. Hope it is not a single and just album filler. Akon makes it worse. She’s a legend and he isn’t on her level to even be on the same track. Just produce Akon and shut the hell up. It’s nice to hear from her again. I want to hear the R-Kelly penned “I Look To You.” That’s going to sound great. Why is 23 hating on Mariah? The person before you mentioned her because she isn’t giving the usual vocals so stop trippin. We all know Whitney can sing.

32.

okay......

Saturday, July 26, 2008 /

@ #20 : Why does Brian have to be on drugs, I understood what he was saying, if you actually listen to the song , you would get the other meaning he was referring to, the literal meaning of her and akon loving eachother like they never left, Brian only stated the undertone meaning that some might not get, but as i digress……………..

…………… I’m not a fan of this song, Mainly because of Akon’s involvement, hopefully we will be hearing more from Whitney, that doesent include guest vocals. And for the record, i would love for Whitney to bust out with some old school rnb and not conform to the masses just to sell, Sing for the art, not the money.

Im really digging this song, but she coulda did without Akon he’s not a real singer and has bad vocals

37.

bklyn-bella

Saturday, July 26, 2008 /

I don’t like it. Its not the same whitney. The old whitney use to rip through a track like it was nothing, effortlessly. This song sounds way to processed and pro tooled up. Her voice is clearly not the same.

I like akon but I honestly am tired of him he sounds exactly the same in every song. There just isn’t any variety in this song, nothing about it stands out to me.

I think its a good cool nice groove. Surely U didnt expect her to jump out shakin her a** or yoddleing all over the stage. I actually think that its a “test leak” to see how the public was feeling hearing her back on the radio and having good strong vocals. I say sit back enjoy and see all the great material that she is about to release. Thank God she is cleaning up and getting back focused.

Stop hating on Akon

Realize this Akon his a hitmaker everysong he do becomes a HIT
and Whitney shoulld let this song be her first single that would be a great choice.
Akon would make thing song to be #1.
Whitney go girl and she don’t
have to be strong on every song she does.

@Stacy

I’m 20, and To be honest, she dont need no damn Akon co-sign her, Michael Jackson neither. Leave the Akon’s & T-Pain’s for Flo Rida, E-40, Gwen Stefani. & Britney Spears and them because either they are Irrelevent or they tryin to add a little Flavor in their sound. Whitney & Mike dont need them fools. Whitney cant be this damn desperate. Do yall see Prince or Tina Turner fuckin with them? NO!!! She should go to someone better, like Wyclef again or Timbaland or Bryan Michael Cox, The Underdogs. More established and creative producers.

Whitney needs to give it up…get into producing movies…maybe go back to ACTING…because the ship has sailed. And it probably has very little to do with her past…I don’t think ANY older audience can have the success they had before with this generation of consumers. I’ve said before it’s about an obsession with youth, but I’m not so sure it isn’t about novelty. I think artists who had success as recent as five years ago, like Beyonce and Usher won’t ever have it again at that level. And it’s because Consumers don’t give that much weight to music anymore (because everyday life is pretty bleak) and so they want something that amuses them in a sorty of fanciful or whimsical way. And I think the artists who actually amuse them and also happen to be very good singers are just lucky…like Amy Winehouse, whose music is the best we’ve heard in decades but is also very animated, a white girl with a bee hive and crack addiction… Or Lil Wayne who, like Amy Winehouse, actually makes good music, gritty spontaneous prose but is also a wanton drug addict and an unrepentantly stereotypical looking kid… Or Rihanna who actually can hold a note and has made some of the best euro dance stuff in years but probably doesn’t deserve all her success and is probably most appealing because a generation of people like the escapism of a musician who is famous because she’s a fashion icon who breaks all the rules or are amused by a black girl who seems to seriously want to be a rocker. And the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus, of course.

Nice song, the voice is definitely gettin better. If Clive Davis DIDN’T have faith in Whitney, he’d never have given this project (well at least under his assistance!) the green light. Akon, while he’s a wackass singer, is a VERY GOOD producer.

am so disapointed in u whitney….u may end up flopin like janet and madonna

@ Comment #53: PIXIE IS CENSORED

-You can’t put Whitney in the same category as Beyonce, Usher, Amy Whinehouse, Lil Wayne or any other of the artists you mentioned in your comments. If you have paid much attention to the blogs and entries relating to Whitney, you will see that she has an undeniable fan base. Both young and old know her past, know what she has been through and genuinely want to see her do well. Even in this day and age of digital downloading, low CD sales, and a very fickle audience, people will still go out and support Whitney. Whitney has a whole lifetime of experience both good and bad. The artists you mentioned are still in their infant stages compared to Whitney.

It’s pretty insulting to an artist or anyone for that matter when you say they “probably don’t deserve their success”. How would you feel if you were passionate about a particular craft, worked your butt of to succeed, reached a high plateau in your field and then someone came along and told you that you don’t deserve the adulation you receive? Wouldn’t feel too good would it…?

You are certainly, just like the rest of us, entitled to your opinion. However, there’s a difference between having an opinion and just plain being ignorant.

I love it! I am happy to hear from a real diva, a real singer and not some package chick! Whitney is an older woman whose voice has grown. I don’t expect the Bodyguard days. I am 24, and still put her before any of these chicks out here. Clive knows what he is doing. Bring back Whitney, bring back Monica! Give us real chicks that can sing and not package bs! Whitney we holding you down here in DC, we def got your back baby girl. Forget these haters……To Brian the song kind of has that message I said the same thing…Anyway like she said “your girl is coming home!”

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.

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!

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…

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.”

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.

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.

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…

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!!!

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
