@71/73

I completely understood what your were saying…and i agree with u 100% also… this site has really turned for the worst….its really sad to be honest.

@76…..that is my SONG! she tore that shit all the way up….needs to be the next single if u ask me.

Thanks J. Dakar She looks great!!

@21: thanks for putting my exact sentiments more tactfully than i cared to.

stevie wonder, chaka khan, earth wind and fire, and tramaine hawkins all sound as good today as they did in their heydays 10, 20, or even 30 years ago.

what’s whitney’s excuse? [not her explanation, but her excuse. for what reason should i pretend it's all okay, 'cause she's still trying?]

BARBIE AND DOPY STFU. THIS IS NOT A RIHANNA POST. HATERS ARE SO OBSESSED WITH THAT GIRL IT’S PATHETIC.

SHON LEAVE J.DAKAR ALONE. THIS WAS HIS OPINION JUST LIKE YOU HAVE YOURS.

Worth it is hot, but Calling you tonight should be the next single

whitney’s excuse is she did drugs….duh! crack fucks up your voice…but she’s making a comeback so just be happy and if u can’t do that….move on! its that simple

and calling u tonight is good also….i also like i got you and salute

Im not even going to say nothing else because its pointless. everyone has their own

opinion so i guess i’ll respect that…..but lets try to support one another because

other races look down on us for this dumb stuff and yall know we can do better.

Much Love!

Whitney’s new CD is fiyah!!! She sounds great; this is real talent.

No one is looking for her to fail; but let’s not pretend that this album is a great album. This album serves more of an outgoing party for Clive Davis than a Comeback for Whitney Houston. The songs and her vocals are mediocre at best. It is time for her people (The Stans) to be honest and give a true and accurate review of the album. By attacking others who are not praising this release is just bad form. As a whole, the I LOOK TO YOU album is not a comeback record, an essential album nor the second coming of Jesus Christ. Accept it!

I have to speak it! Whitney has always been my #1. Her voice has always been something that could send chills down my spine. For that I will always be a loyal fan. When Whitney was #1 on the charts back in the day I was rocking with her and now that it’s 2009 I will still be rocking with her. Till the end of time…

Some people are saying that Whitney’s voice isn’t the same. Of course it’s not the same. This is not 1986! How do you expect people to sound the same when years and years have passed? Case in point: Mariah Carey. She sings NOTHING like her Vision of Love days. At least with Whitney you know what you are getting is real talent. Go to youtube.com for all you haters and check out Whitney singing live and then compare her to all these other so called singers singing live. I bet you’ll think twice.

Anyways, I got my CD today and like I said before I am rocking it! GO Whitney.

GREAT ALBUM! I SEE A GRAMMYS SWEEP IN HER FUTURE!

First and foremost, I am delighted to see a healthy, sober Whitney again. Her life has been rocked with turmoil, yet somehow here; bruised and scarred, but still here.

Now on to the music…it’s a little-known secret that Whitney hated the squeaky clean pop image that enveloped her at the beginning of her career, and she’s been rebelling against it ever since she married Bobby Brown. She grew up singing gospel and backing Chaka Khan, Aretha and cousin Dionne.

While those soaring, cookie-cutter ballads are fan favorites, Ms. Houston personally has always enjoyed soulful music…yet she teamed back up with Clive Davis, who’s always delivered Whitney perfectly soulless material to blow out of the water.

What are we to make of yet another formulaic smorgasbord album?

Whitney I will not be buying this album but I absolutely admire the strength in which you have enveloped your life in..wish you all the best girl!

i love whit and upon the first leaks of the material i will admit i was greatly disappointed. not that i was expecting her to sound like she did during the bodyguard era, but the so called IMPROVEMENT she’s been making (vocal lessons, surgery, etc etc)..i was expecting more than i got.

BUT..when i got the whole album..I LOVE IT!!! the album is pure fiyah. it takes a little adjusting to the “new whitney”..but she’s still whitney. the album is full of gems. and regardless of how she sounds now, she doesn’t sound BAD. that’s the trick…

different, but not BAD in the least bit. WORTH IT should so be the next single. GO WHIT! love ya girl…keep dem hataz hatin

#72 Youre a bonifide hater. I appreciate you tho, but guess what she aint singing to you or for you boo. YES YES YES Whitney’s voice has changed but for the people willing to take a listen to the album you’ll find a great portion of old Whitney resurface throughout the tracks. Whitney’s voice is a big reason why some of the demographic here is saying what they’re saying, I guess because I hate Mariah now I can understand because her chest voice is completely gone. But this is definately not the case with Whitney. She can still sing circles around 99.9% of these so called singers now. This album is solid - the songs are catchy, the music has meaning, and the singer is still singing. Yes theres rasp, and she sounds deeper than she used to however WOULD YOU HAD RATHER HER AUTOTUNE HERSELF TO DEATH AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT LIVE? I appreciate her not hiding the changes in her voice and coming back, and coming strong. The fact is theres no one to compare Whitney to but Whitney. For that some of you need to show some level of respect and stop hating because your life sucks ass at the moment. I CHALLENGE ANY OF YOU TO DO WHAT SHE DID THE WAY SHE DID WHEN SHE DID IT, DEAL WITH HER DEMONS, AND COME BACK SOUNDING LIKE SHE DID WHEN SHE WAS 20. I DARE YOU!!!!! Whitney’s voice isnt the same but it not gone for sure. When this album is number 1 next week go in the mirror and look at your face when u see it and see the hate on it. GRAMMY’S are coming and coming fast and you better believe she’s walking away with at least one. MARK MY WORDS. Cop that album because once u get past “oh she dont sound like she did 20years ago(yeah 20years ago)” you’ll realize shes still singing her face off and she still sounds awesome and the album is BANGING. For the Haters listen to “For The Lovers” and she’ll clearly tell u “aint singing to you” LOL

#71, I agree with you. This site is starting to take its toll on me a bit. There is no such thing as “construtive criticism”. It is full blown negative comments about everything and everybody. I feel that people have a right to their own opinions, but there is a line that has to be drawn when it comes to the tasteful of one’s comments.

Whitney, I will agree, does not have it like she use to, hence, the album still has quality that I can appreciate and enjoy. I don’t understand why people feel the need to always have to compare the younger artists with the older artists. I am glad that Whitney is not using gimmicks to try to sell an album and no sexy over the top promos.

I will continue to praise Whitney because she, in my opinion, did it the right way. She got herself together first, took care of business and then created this album. Artists today are too eager to get back in the studio and make album after album. Let’s also keep in mind that at her age, being tasteful and classy is where it’s at.

Thank you!

In the last paragraph I meant to say that, ” she did it the right way”.

I’m not usually one to post comments but I had to say this. I’ve read all of these comments and I am very disappoined by some of these responses. Although I do agree to some of the opinions that her voice isn’t what it use to be, but whose is. Now, I am not comparing her to another singer, but you can look at many of the veterans (Mariah, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Madonna, Elton John, Paul, etc…) and all of their voices are not what it use to be. Alicia Keys is one of my favorite arists, but her voice isn’t the same as when she started. If you have been down with Mary since ‘92, you definitely know that her voice is MUCH better than it was before. I remember going to her concert and literally walking out because she was horrendous. But her lifestyle was similar to Whitney’s during that time. It wasn’t until she stopped the partying and drugs, did she improve. Now, I will attend any concert she gives. People’s voices change. That’s life. In my opinion, it is more about the content and less about how many high notes a person can reach. I believe that is why the music indistry is so messed up. Nobody is singing about anything. If it was really about talent, many of the high ranking African American stars of today would be replaced by others like India Irie, Jill Scott, Jaheim, and Mary Mary.

I am a true Whitney fan and I am happy that she is back and I will be buying the album. Black people need to start supporting each other through their hard times as well as their good times. If Britney Spears can rise back to the top, why can’t Whitney? We just need to give her a little time just like we did Mary J.

Also, age is just a number. The same people talking about her age, will go out and buy a Jay-Z CD. He is almost 40 but he is still relevant and still on top. Madonna is 50 and people still buy her album.

If you were a fan, you will always be one and you will appreciate her music and expect more from it than just her voice. The song I Look To You is a classic Whitney song and I love it.
