    Whitney Houston looks incredible, so pretty. I’ve listened to that new song over and over , and it saddens me that i do not hear ANY of the beautiful voice that sang “Greatest Love of all, didn’t we almost have it all, Saving all my love for you”,

    Her voice sounds Horrible on the track “didn’t know my own strength”, she sounds bored, and hoarse. It’s actually heartbreaking,

    IT’S LIKE TRYING TO FIX A BROKEN DOLL THAT YOU LOVE SO MUCH, and you just can’t. the damage sounds like it’s been done to her voice. You listen to song and it just NEVER takes off. Her voice is straining and bad.

    THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL vocal is gone.

    @ shae. you really said what i was think and what everyone else is thinking and won’t say it. that song is horrible and she should have found another song to hide her vocal laws that ITS NOT RIGHT BUT IT’S OK

    Sleep on Toni Braxton all you like (referring to who ever said she is washed up) but I heard her tracks at an Atlantic session and she’s got tricks up her sleeves and unlike some her voice is still there. Watch.

    Is Alicia Keys cold? It’s July… is it still cold in New York? I don’t know, I live in the south, but a sweater under a leather jacket?! As usual, she’s gorgeous and everyone looks great (especially Vivica), but sweaters and leather in July?

    I can not for the life of me understand why Whitney sound as good as she did DURING her “problems” but lose her voice after discontinuing her drug abuse.

    That song is crazy, it isn’t Whitney, she’s tripping over her false teeth when she singing, the song has no climax, no crescendo, it’s the same tempo all the way through because she can’t hit those notes anymore, it’s sad. She picked that song so she wouldn’t have to go through what Mariah went through at the Michael Jackson memorial, while she is promoting her album with these tv performances. It’s just sad.

    Reply to MOI. The weather in New York has been cool and rainy. Yesterday we had on boots because of the rain and it is cool. We have not had very hot weather, just a lot of rain.

    why are folks dwelling on her voice not being the same as 20 years ago, get over it. Sh*t happens. Enjoy her for the voice she has today or kick rocks. Im sure she is reminded everyday of what she put herself through, move on. im happy she is still alive, let alone still making music. if anyone is not going to like her because she doesn’t sound like the bodyguard whitney then so be it.

    That’s the dumbest shit I ever heard regarding this issue, shit happens ?, no crack happened. If she had gotten her stuff together a long time ago before signifigant damage took over, this wouldn’t have happned

    We live in a world where people hate thats a part of life. Im proud of you Whitney most of us are let your haters be your motivators. Now who people should be talking about is old ass washed up bobby brown still out there reproducing drunkin crack babies. You keep the right positive people around you I dont care if your voice sounds like you blowing tracks out your ass I will be one of the first to buy one. When you have people like clive still believe in you dont blow it Whitney because you are the greatest love of all.

    Go Whitney so glad your back, your true fans realise that your voice is a muscle, and as you get older it becomes more rich and deepens, what nobody can take away from you is the soul, I love you

    I heard she had surgery on the nodules….which is why she went through the slump where even her speaking voice sounded slurred…We may be surprised by her singing voice, as even her speaking voice has cleared up and become crisp again.

    She looks great! I heard she did an excellent job with this new CD. I’m so happy and proud for her. I continue to lift her up in prayer. Never count anyone out because God has the ability to put us back together again and make us better than we were before.

    You guys are seriously ill. HAVE YOU NOT HEARD WHITNEY’S NEW SINGLE????????? she sounds hoarse, horrible and off key, the song shows that her voice is weak at best. ITS LIKE TRYING TO FIX A BROKEN TOY THAT YOU LOVED SO MUCH, IT CAN’T BE FIXED.

    Whitney should retire gracefully. Her vocal is horrible. and that deeply saddens me.

    Whitney looks good here!!!! Steve Harvey on the other hand……………….NO!!!

    I will buy her new album when it drops just because!!! Much respect to her for trying to turn her life around instead of wallowing in self-pity. Can’t knock anyone who’s trying to better themselves – real talk. Everyone deserves a second chance.

    I heard the single, “I Look To You” is FIRE!!!!!

    Also – funny how SOME people can’t get over her messing with Ray J or Bobby Brown, but give Chris Brown a pass. Understand me; I believe Chris deserves a second chance also BUT how you can think HE deserves one but SHE doesn’t???? SHE hurt no one (physically) but herself – not another.

    ^^ You haven’t heard Whitney’s new single “Million Dollar Bill” yet.. And The “I didn’t know my own strength” that leaked was a demo version that has since been re-recorded.

    Whether you idiots come on a blog and hate or not, her comeback will be EPIC. Very proud of her; she looks amazing!

    A snippet of her version of “I look to you” is now on youtube. It sounds AMAZING. GET INTO IT.

    @58, I am guessin that was for me and let me stand to correct ya a$$. I can’t get over her messing with Ray J because of the age difference for one and because he is so darn corny.

    I never gave CB a got darn thing.. The only commenI I ever made regarding the incident was folks on here mad at him and Riri ain’t mad. She was with the dude the same week at Puffy’s place. Was CB wrong, YES..

    WTF..
