Work it Whitney

Go Whitney!!! Black woman have prevailed and will continue too! We are losing so many of our legends i.e Bernie Mac, Michael Jackson, Isaac Hayes, Aaliyah, Left Eye, Barry White, “Rick Jame’s Bitch”! James Brown……… Let’s Celebrate her starting over, everyone makes mistakes. But it is undeniable that she is one of the greatest voices of all time!!!

Go Whitney!!!

She sounds sooo good, this song is beautiful

niceeeeeeeeeee

Made me tear up. Glad she is back !

Nice song.

I need more. This is good, but I know she’s got a song in there that I just know will hit the spot.

Let’s keep it 1000 people… She looks wonderful and we’re all proud of her… The songs lyrics are lovely… BUT… Her vocals are shot… Her vocals are out of there… I know no one wants to say it, but… She sounds like ass… :/ Sorry… But I hope she does well because I love her! Even if she does sound like shit…

#8…

Have you listened to the radio lately? If Whitney’s vocals are “shot”, then 98% of people out there can’t sing either. I agree her vocals aren’t the same, but you’re taking it way out of proportion.. You love her, yet you can say she sounds like shit??? Go somewhere..

BO-RING! I’m sorry but I expected more from Whitney! If you’re gonna make a “comeback”, make a “comeback”! This song didn’t go anywhere…ugh. Still glad she’s back and I’m definitely looking forward to more music!
Go Whitney!!

her music has more meaning now. A sign of maturity and moving on to greatness……

That beautiful voice from the 80’s and early 90’s has been demolished by the drugs. Whitney might as well pass the mic to Bobbi’Kristina.

I Luv R. Kelly lyrics and Whitney!

This song is so 90’s

Sorry if you’re deaf… I do love her but she sounds like ass? Period.
Can’t you like someone and still think they no longer have it? Well, that’s the case with her…
And we’re not talking about 98% of other people… We’re talking about Whitney…
She wants to sing the music she used to sing and her voice can’t hold her…
Sit back and listen to J-Hud and give way to new talent that HAS it, because she’s washed up… ————–> NEXT

DO WHAT YOU DO WHITNEY!!

#9

Don’t know if it’s quite 98% but the vast majority of artists out there now CAN’T sing. I agree, I wouldn’t go so far as to say she sounds like ish but I think the issue is that it’s Whitney! People who are looking for real and true vocalists to make a comeback looked to Whitney to set the record straight but I must say she failed with this single. I just can’t wait for more material to come out b/c I know I’m anxiously waiting for the Whitney that gave me chills every time she opened her mouth!
Just saying…

Love IT!! Miss Houston has returned!!!

B O R I N G ! ? ! ? Dying Squirrel > Whitney’s Vocals

Beautifully written song by R.Kelly..
Even though Whitney doesn’t have the same voice.. I do like the raspy texture in her voice.. She still sounds beautiful. Wishing her the best!

This sounds like a Christmas song……BUT welcome back Whitney. I wish her much success with this project.

I think she sounds fine, just older and raspy, but that’s only because we know what she used to sound like. Anybody would sound bad if we compared them to young Whitney, including older Whitney herself. Let’s be honest, nobody could compete with young Whitney’s voice. Unfortunately she set the bar so high for herself that good isn’t enough and we are still expecting greatness. I think it’s time to learn to accept her voice for what it is now, she still sound better than most.

#15.. Womp womp.. Like I said. No need to repeat.

THANK YOU #22|BOOHOE

She sounds a HOT fucking mess as usual and she WILL DEFINITELY FLOP!

its not a bad song, i just wouldn’t rush out to buy or download it. the problem is when you have and artist like Whitney with such an incredible catalogue of music you want the new music to hold up and so far none of the new material does that. The songs sound like she might be successful as an adult contemporary artist now, and I’m sure here first week sales will be good, but thats it.

sounds like it could have come from sessions for The Preacher’s Wife

Well put #22! Does Aretha sound like the younger Aretha? People get older. Go through things… And if you don’t use your instrument it gets rusty… Whitney is older and what she has overcome is AMAZING! And I think Whitney knows her voice will never sound the same but to come out on top from what she has been through, I think is incredible… It took alot of guts to do what she has done…

Beautiful strong black woman - epitome of a positive Diva!! You go Whitney!!

I think the message in the music is more important then how the voice sounds.

how is it that you listen to the song and the only thing you get is she doesn’t sound like she use to? you knew that before you even heard it so whats the point in constantly repeating it? the song is nice and her vocals were still good.

Wow…I’m so proud of Whitney for have the strength and the courage to get back up and try it again. I’m not so sure that recording this album was for her to reclaim her throne and the greatest female singer of all time, but it was moreso to show that she’s ok, she’s healthy, and she’s in a GOOD place. No, her voice is not what it once was and it will never be that again but she has solidified her place in music history already. I’ll support Whitney forever and I have the faith that she will be just fine!

it sounds like a reject from the bodyguard soundtrack. boring. loves her nonetheless!

The song is great but I have to agree with # 15 Whitney has lost a step vocaly mabe we expect a little more from someone who once set the bar for J hudson,Beyonce ect…If you look at the talent that we have today most of the artist cant hold a candle to Patti labelle,gladis kinght,steffine mills and whittney houston.

Sure Whitney doesnt sound the same but she can STILL sing! I love her sound…drugs or no drugs your voice changes as you age. Her voice sounds more mature now. I like the song but I’m sure there are more up beat ones on her cd…I can’t wait t hear more!

She sounds so much better on this song than she did on the last leak. I’m still more interested in Toni Braxton’s album. She’s the underdog but I know she will surprise everybody. But welcome back Whitney and I hope she stays healthy.

This song is the truth! Whitney sounds amazing and i would put this up against any junk on radio today and it will surpass those. Go Whitney. I’m so proud of you. This does not sound like anything from the BG and anyone who is a true fan would know that. This is more gospel/country infused and i understood every word she enuciated.

Very good vocal performance- grammy material- you watch!

very raspy.. its brave of her to come back.. but im kinda over her… legend or not…. the song sounds a bit gospel-ish… its ok though..

I heard it for the first time this morning on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show and I must say that I love Whitney and her music. The song is a nice and beautiful song and it’s great for her but I was expecting her vocals to better than that. I was in my car just waiting for her to just bust out and SANG!!!!. She sound just average to me. I need the old Whitney to re-do this song and come with it.. JMO.

I love Whitney and I love this song.

MY COMMENT ON THIS IS THAT A LOT OF YALL ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW WHITNEY’S VOICE IS GONE AND HOW IT’S NOT THE SAME VOICE FROM THE 90S AND 80S …WELL DUH… ITS 2009, THE WOMAN IS GETTING OLDER, STILL BEAUTIFUL, BUT STILL OLDER. MARIAH IS NOT HITTIN NOTES LIKE SHE USE TOO….. NEITHER DO CHAKA, ARETHA, AND ALL THE REST OF THE GREATS. AFTER ALL WHITNEY HAS BEEN THROUGH AND HER AGE…. SHE IS SOUNDIN PRETTY GOOD TO ME AND THAT’S BOUT DA BEST SHE WILL SOUND. SOME PPL ARE JUST SO IGNORANT…. SOME OF THE SINGERS OUT TODAY HALF HER AGE CAN’T EVEN SING LIKE SHE DO TODAY AND THEY AIN’T HIT NOTHIN.

What is wrong with us as a people? Do we ever have anything nice to say about our own people? Now if the “White Man” was criticizing her we would be all over it. How about we stop being so damn negative and lift her up. Yes it’s not the same voice, But darn it, but how about celebrating that she has done a turn around. We wonder why we as a culture have so many problems and demons, but our own people create it. It sickens me that all the “Black Blogs” have so much criticism. In order for us to get past all the racism we have to start at home and begin lifting ourselves up. Hell, I can’t sing at all so what so I look like making a bad comment about her voice sounding like “Crap”? If it’s so darn bad, how about you go out and make a CD and then accomplish all that she has accomplished. We get mad when we blacks are mistreated but we continuously treat our own bad every opportunity we get. NEGATIVETY JUST BRINGS MORE NEGATIVETY!!!

The song does kind of drag a bit & you keep thinking she’s about to hit some big note…but it never happens lol. I still love Whitney & will buy her CD.

the song is okay and the vocals are okay. If you want old whitney don’t listen. she’s a legend. Respect her for putting music out for the fans. She’s rich enough to where she don’t have to do another C.D it’s for the fans. Why are u guys comparing her to when she was 19-25? She’s 46. Leave her be. She set the standard so high no one will be as great of a signer as she was. You guys are all haters. Why you hating she’s laughing her way to the bank…GO NIPPY!

Well I love it! Is it the “old” Whitney? No. Does she meet my expectation? Yes. Like everything else, it will take time for her to regain her full confidence. Afterall, she wasn’t ready to come back… Clyde asked (begged) her to. Let’s support her and lift her up and watch… she’s going to surprise us. Good for you Whitney… I love hearing you sing ballads and this was a nice song by R. Kelly.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there’s a reason Mariah Carey isnt doing so well these days with album sales. The bottom line is this style of R&B is dead.
Love Whitney but this song is boring.

Ok honestly the song is beautiful, but her voice sounds a bit raspy….however she sings it beautifully and gracefully… if u dnt like the new whitney then piss off.. i dnt understand why people comment on how she is goin to flop etc etc… why dnt u focus on ur bloody life …. she made a mistake and she is moving on…… people these days are so damn stupid…. i will be buying her album…. JUST for the fact that she is sending out a positive message…. and” THE NOBLE JUSTIN 8* U CHAT so much rubbish!

THANK YOU GOD!!!!

For allowing us all on this earth to hear the voice of an angle once again.
May you continue to bless her so that she may bless your world with her Beauty, Grace, Elegance and voice.

Be Blessed Whitney!

We all love you!!!

her voice is amazing, welcome back.

I hope there are uptempos song in the album.

Get it Gullllllllll!!!!!!!!! Ole whit whit. Come back and show’em how it’s done. I love this song. love, love, love it. Beautiful and understated. Buck what you heard, whit can still sing — I heard the rifts. Don’t get none on ya, whit. I’m a fan. Always have been.

I LUV U WHITNEY HOUSTON

MI NUH LIKE IT!!!….thats jamaican 4, “this shit is wack!” now i love whitney like the next person but we gotta keep it real now. Whitney stop smoking whatever it is ur smoking, and get that voice in tip top shape, Cmon girl act like u tryna get that career back! The song is aight but she came out wit something like this when she tried the first comeback so she need to get wit the times and bring out something fresh.

[...] Concrete Loop] Share and [...]

LOVE YOU AUNT WENDY BUT YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO COME BETTER THEN THIS….RELEASE A UPBEAT DANCE SINGLE NOT THIS TRIED DEPRESSING ISH

*****AUNT WHITNEY**** OOPS

she still got that shit.

She may not be hitting the high notes but she still sounds like Whitney, I wish all the success and hope she stays clean.

Maybe as a second single, but you need to come harder than that for the 1st song back! I am wondering if they are gonna to a Whitney vs Mariah thang to beef up CD???

I love Whitney to DEATH but, I can’t front I was expecteing her voice to soar in certain parts….Still gave me goosebumps. Check Kellz’ version below:

FYI; Kellz wrote this tune in 1996.

“I LOOK TO YOU” (R.Kelly’s version on piano)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zz3y_QyV8Q

Welcome back MS. HOUSTON!!!

The lyrics, of course, r one of R Kelly’s greatest. Whitney’s vocals aren’t vocalized n this song. R Kelly should have kept this song 4 hisself. I’m sure his vocals would have been as great as the lyrics.

I love my Whitney….is she Whitney of the 90’s? no….but her voice now shows her struggle and all that she has been through. I am so proud of her and grateful to hear her voice. But yo…when I tell you she has some fiyahh coming….just be on the look out…”Million Dolla Bill” produced by Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats is gonna bring her back on the charts…..TRUST ME. She only has to ballas on the album….the rest is giving it to you. Mark my words!

I am a fan of Whitney and I am glad that she is going to be singing for us again.
I definately feel that her voice has changed.
I feel as though this song didn’t capture her voice as it is now.
I hope that she will have enough support from this single so that she will have the financial backing to create new music.
I hope that with time her voice will be redeveloped and as powerful as it could be. Good Luck to you Whitney.

Good Morning everyone.
My comment to Whitney. I think that you would make a good impression. I hope that you will make more songs and demonstrate to you fans will show your true talent.
Whatever the press or people say you must go on and make your comeback.
Your Whitney a wonderful and successful woman and I believe in you…….
So believe in your self and put God first.

#2.. Um, Aaliyah and Left Eye weren’t and aren’t musical “legends”..

She looks like Tanisha Arnold in that cover art..

I don’t like the song, it’s hella fucking boring to listen to. I was falling asleep the first few seconds.. How can this boring shit be a comeback song?! Come on Whitney I know you can do better than this!

I mean Tichina Arnold

Whitney’s album will NOT flop. She has a core fan base. Obviously not the pop radio crowd. But there are alot of older, more mature people who love her. Also, I think alot of gay men love Whitney too. So she’ll do just fine.

People crack me up. How can you bash it and disrespect and then say “I love Whitney” I think its good for what it is. I’m not getting no more out of it than what she is giving us. I happy for her, and I’m so tired of people saying she don’t sound the way she use to. NO SHIT!!!! but she doesn’t sound bad. Please stop being so judgemental. Peace&love

She looks hottttt!!!!! It’s like she never left the game, and she sounds great despite of what she’s been through. She does not sound the same, but who does after making a comeback from Bobby. We need her now even more since we have lost allot of our most dearest and talented artist in the past, and besides, she sounds better than 98% of what we hear on the radio now and that includes Beyonce’…keep on, keepin on Whitney, we look to you as well.

Are you fucking kidding me?! I cant pump that shit in my car! Where’s the beat? Is this the best that they could come up with, this corny ass song?! That shit made me fucking gag! I like Whitney but that’s the wrong song to try to push, especially around Grammy time! I thought she was going to come out strong, she came out like a fart! That’s my final word, I’m out!!

YOU GOTTA DO BETTA THAN THAT …PITIFUL!

Gohead sister Houston. This song is sweet I like the crossover style. It can be a country ,pop, or R&B song. Glad to have you back

Simply Astonishing!! Moves and heals the SOUL!!!

OK, here’s the deal. I’m a die hard Whitney fan. This awful radio-rip is NOT the quality people should be listening to. Just go to http://www.whitneyhouston.com for a good version. This one is completely messed up. And for your information, she’s got some smokin’ (don’t make jokes please lol) stuff underway. “Million dollar bill” and “A song for you” are very uptempo and highly contemporary as is the rest of the album. Be patient everybody! Besides, a LOT of hitmakers and respected music journalists attended her listening parties and she’s getting raving reviews from each and every one of them.

Whitney is back with a vengeance, she’s on fire!
