      The service is poor ,the song keeps cutting ,too much interference by whoever the provider need to correct this

  4. Giselle

    Congrats on her being #1! How many 46 year olds can say that?

  5. DD

    I LIKE THIS, CLASSIC WHITNEY JUST LIKE “THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL” AND “ALL THE MAN I NEED” NO WIND MACHINES OR GREEN SCREENS JUST SIMPLE. THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM THAT IS MATURE AND NOT KIDDIE AND I THINK THATS WHY SOME HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

    With all of these speculations of her voice being shot, whitney sounded great and looked flawless…we should be thankful that she is well and I think mariahs vocals are shot which is very sad due 2 her being over worked in the 90s, its great 2 see a powerhouse ballad today

  7. keesh

    Im glad she’s back…im a little dissappointed though i was waiting for that inspirational build but I guess her voice just will never be the same. Pretty song though imma buy the cd for my mother

  8. TheMan4u

    So powerful, just her talking to God. and she looks great

  9. Ashley T.

    I like the video. Simple. She looks pretty. Have to admit her vocals aren’t how they used to be but I like it overall though.

  10. Mika

    Very elegant and tasteful! Awww our Whitney has returned! You can see the passion in her eyes…she looks so graceful and humbled by everything. God truly does work miracles. I support her 100%

  11. Keith

    Whitney looks fantastic. The song is so beautiful. I love the video.

  12. Philly

    Go Whit, I’m praying for this woman! Great vid.

  13. WE LUV WHITNEY 4 EVA!!

    I LUV WHITNEY!!! IM SO PROUD OF HER!!! GO GIRL, SHE #1 AND DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO DROP A VIDEO!!! GO GIRL!!!

  14. Deontae

    I love this video, it is so elegant and I love Whitney! I think her voice is still strong and she look great! God bless her!

  15. POSITIVE CHICK

    I’m sooo happy for her. Whitney just has a radiant regal beauty about her. Can’t wait to see that interview

  16. mememe

    She looks great, but she needed to do a video for Million Dollar Bill, not this track. Hit the scene with a splash for the first video.

    Of course the CD is selling because she’s Whitney, but if everyone is being honest with themselves, they’d admit the album is just OK, not great. Im glad she’s back, but I dont grade on a curve just because its Whitney Houston.

    Hater? Nope, just honest.

  17. melmel

    Seeing Whitney in that video brought tears to my eyes cause we all saw her at her lowest point in life and now to see her alive and singing again is such a blessing!

  18. str8xplorer

    Man I am just happy that God removed her from that dark dark place. What a blessing. And no she isnt the Whitney from long ago…. she is the Whitney that God has brought to us for today! Rock it Whitney and welcome back to number one!

  19. mo betta

    I’m proud of her!

  20. steez

    uhhh!

    i love her, im sooo happy shes back

    i wanna cry

  21. Niecey

    This video makes me proud, I love the song. She looks great, like a princess.

    Go Whitney!

  22. backingbarack

    that crack made her jaw loose and she slurs now.

    im sorry but you know you have talent when after all the substance abuse and domestic violence in the world, you still can sing circles around all the relevant and current singers that are out today including mariah.

    whitney had a hard life although she chose that path but dammit cant none of these girls and boys out now compare to her or sing like she does. if you look at the top 100 billboard list of music esp pop and rnb cant none of those 100 ppl listed touch her.

  23. backingbarack

    she looked nice and the video was simple. she could have been so much farther but hey at least she is making progress and has true talent

  24. micmic1

    wow!!! i’m getting her cd! on this song alone! whitney is for real yall! the passion is in her eyes!

  25. tae04

    I love you Whitney! Thank you for being an inspiration.

  26. MY2SENSE

    OMG she almost made me cry. She’s been through so much yet she persevered. I’m so proud of her!

    She looks absolutely flawless in this video. Simple and elegant. This video actually reminds me of Beyonce’s Listen.

    I love Whitney – the voice of an Angel is back. In time she’ll be back on top!

  27. BAC

    So happy to see her back.

    Beautiful.

  28. omg everything

    @24, you are very much right. I thought I was the only who noticed that she slurs and her jaw is loose

  29. tee

    i feel like a proud mama. God bless u Whitney, love u

  30. LadyJoBi

    Wow, Whitney did it again. Back on top at #1. I knew she could do it. I have always been a Whitney fan every since I heard her sing those first notes on her first CD and I will always be her biggest fan. I am so proud that Whitney decided to grace us with her songs, voice and her personally. Whitney, I will always love you.

  31. devlon25

    Yes Lord,,, I prayed and I prayed, That God would allow just what’s happenin right now to happen,,, I’m not judging you Ms. Houston, Just thanking God for what he has done in your life. No matter what the haters say, and people say that your not the old you or you cant sing the way you used to. Just no you have to go though something and come out with a testimony and let the devil no, Your Gods child. I continue to pray your strength and that God would bless us as a people to love like Jesus, Lets build each other up, and keep the LOVE…………….

  32. devans00

    Very elegant video. Ms. Houston looks healthy and good. Glad to hear she still has some of her voice, although it’s a little deeper. Wouldn’t expect less.

  33. Nicole

    @ #18, She does have a video for ‘Million Dollar Bill.’ Look out for the video premiere on September 16th!!!! With that said…..I love, love the video! :)

  34. in the loop ;)

    @ 20 – Exactly!

    Beautiful…just beautiful. The simplicity of this video is phenomenal! God is good alll the time. 300,000 + is just the beginning this album will continue in it’s success and you deserve it. Ms. Whitney is back..and this time she is here to STAY! Welcome home.

  35. Loves It

    awww i’m soo happy my whitney is back!!! i’ve prayed for years that she would come back into the music scene, and here she is! I know ppl keep talkin about what she’s been through, but let us all focus on where she is right now, its not very often we see our beloved icons go to the depths of hell and raise back up to #1 again..usually they just dissappear or end up in tragedy, so I am greatful that Whitney is back!! The queen is back and God is good! Everyone go out and get her album, I have it and its off the chain!!!

  36. Nothing But Love

    Stunning… the video is so touching, she looks so beautiful even though the video is very simple it suits the song so well.

  37. Ana

    SOME MAY GET MAD AT WHAT I SAY….BUT…OH WELL, HER VOICE SOUNDED MEDIOCRE,NOTHING FANCY, I KNOW THAT SHE NOT 20 ANYMORE, BUT WHEN YOU OUT FROM THE SINGING FOR SONG LONG, YOU NEED TO BRING IT.AND TO ME….SHE DIDN’T BRING IT. PEOPLE ALSO MUST FACE THE HIGH-LONG NOT HITTING WHITNEY HAS VANISH, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE DRUG ABUSE, BUT HER AGE ALSO. SOME PEOPLE VOICE AGE AS THEY GET OLDER. TAKE MARIAH CAREY, SHE WAS SO SOULFUL, AND COLD HOLD AND HIT ALL LEVELS OF HIGH NOTES. NOW, SHE SEEMS TO ALWAYS SOUND HOARSE, AND SHE CAN’T HOLD HER NOTES THAT WELL. HOWEVER I LOVE WHITNEY AND WISH HER THE BEST

  38. Shae

    Hey you hating hoes…….morning.

    I’ve taken the time to listen to the CD, actually it’s not horrible. I like it. WORTH IT, FOR THE LOVERS, a few good songs where Whitney sounds great.

    A SONG FOR YOU—no no no Ms. Houston we don’t turn classic history changing songs into White Gay Boy Club Songs. The White Boys can have other songs to dance to in their tight white jeans and tank tops and face paint

    A Song For You is a serious mis-step.

    But over all it’s a nice cd. very mellow, Lyrics (which none was written by whitney but 1, girl learn to write).

    Now patiently waiting for Mrs. Mariah to release the great vocals

  39. lisa

    ms. girl looks so pretty. Finally a real singer on the charts without her boobs hanging out, finally a lady who is NOT a model or rip-off (rihanna/beyonce).

    This is a Singer. Thank you Whitney. We needed your voice.

  40. Christy

    Brought tears to my eyes. Good to see God’s work in motion

  41. KEM

    AMAZING BEAUTIFUL video.. and yes she already filmed the video for “Million Dollar Bill” around this same time.. Comes out NEXT WEEK!!!!

    We are so glad you’re back Whitney. This song was only meant to serve the purpose which you intended: giving honor to God. He is shining down on you, as well as the rest of us!

  42. remyjones

    Whitney, Whitney, Whitney…..i tried to tell these bamma’s your album was gonna be number 1. They didn’t listen. Keep up the good work girl. I will always support you. I loved the vid too. Very classic and mature. Tears came to my eyes watching you. I love the album

  43. Estella

    Her voice isn`t the same,but she still sounds better than most of the Rihanna wannabe singers out there in the music industry today,that`s why her album is selling because people are tired of the autotunes,and the watered down R & B,and the hyped up singers who can`t sing their way out of a paperbag

  44. yeah yeah yeah

    I support Nippie 100%! I will be honest and admit her vocals definitely aren’t the same and the new cd is ok…but her comeback is about FAR MORE than music….it’s about her life….and for that reason, I support her! Some of the songs on the cd speak to that and you can tell she’s better now…she looks healthier, she acts different, she smiles more…it’s more than her music. Her voice will never be the same but I’m glad she’s back :-)

  45. Coffeebrown

    Loved the video – nice and simple; representing her just having a one-on-one with the Almighty as the song does.

    To all of those who say her voice is mediocre and not as good/strrong as it used to be, I agree. BUT……I think just like anyone who has been away from their craft for an extended period of time, she will get stronger as time progresses. You wouldn’t expect a boxer who hasn’t been in the ring for a long time to return and deliver TKOs immediately upon his return. Same concept here. I think if she continues to sing, her voice will only strengthen. I bought her cd and I think it was actually very good for her return to music. She has my support 100%.

  46. Gainey65

    GOD IS A GOD OF SECOND, AND THIRD CHANCES JUST LOOK AT WHITNEY WITH THAT BEING SAID GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. GO WHITNEY. WELCOME BACK!

  47. ♥♥PEACHEZZZ♥♥

    WHITNEY LOOKED FLAWLESS. THE VIDEO MADE ME LIKE THIS SONG. I CAN’T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT HOW SHE WOULD HAVE REALLY KILLED THIS SONG WITH HER OLD VOICE! OMG! BUT SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. I’M GLAD SHE’S HEALTHY AND I’M GLAD SHE’S #1 SO SHE CAN SEE HOW MUCH HER FANS HAVE TRULY MISSED HER. I THINK THAT AMOUNT OF LOVE WILL HELP KEEP HER WORKING HARD TO GET HER VOICE BACK COMPLETELY STRONG. LOVE YOU WHITNEY!

  48. tweet

    I LOVE THE SONG AND VIDEO, VERY CLASSY, ALTHOUGH WE MUST ADMIT HER VOICE IS NOT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE , SHE’S STRUGGLING!!! SHE’LL ALWAYS BE MY GIRL ALTHOUGH!!

  49. peacekeeper

    So what do those youngins that claim nobody wants to hear from the “old” folks have to say now? Keri, Ciara, Solange, LeToya, etc., etc… – none of them were able to sell that many copies their first week out. Some of them haven’t even sold that many albums after multiple singles, videos, promotion and months of having their album in stores.

  50. INQUIRER

    Man Whitney, why are you playing with my emotions right now. I love you lady and despite the rough times you’ve been through, you still remain “the” voice to recon with. God Bless!

  51. Dee

    WHITNEY SHOT A VIDEO FOR MILLION DOLLAR BILL TOO. IT WILL BE RELEASED ON 9/14/09.

  52. LadyA

    Simple, yet Elegant. One on One time with the LORD is all she needed to gather back up her strength and courage to perform again. GOD is SO Awesome and you can see the evidence right here!

    Ms. Houston, you are still one of the best singers ever and I know with more performance and studio time, your songs with reflect that. I absolutely love how she sang this song. It wasn’t meant to have many high long notes, it was simplistic for a reason. God is showing us all, it doesn’t take all of that extra stuff to get your point across. Many people can learn a life lesson just from this video.

  53. Khalil

    Simply the best hands down! She is the greatest female vocalist of all time. Inspiring many and making music that we can sing 20 years from now. Bravo Whitney! Oh trust and believe she is not finished!

  54. Sweets

    Bad A** song and video this lady is such a beauty, she is back bit**ches

  55. Tealeaf

    Iam just happy she is back, it was sad watching your waste her life and god given voice

  56. del del

    I almost cried, no lie! I’ve been listening to her CD everyday since last week, and this song and video is beautiful! I feel like I have an emotional attachment to her voice, it’s so beautiful to me!

  57. Toriano

    For Whitney, her comeback was evidenced by simply making the decision(s) to turn her life around. Conquering her worst enemy – herself, and not Bobby Brown – was a triumph in and of itself. Her return to the music spotlight shows not only that can still deliver emotion thorugh song, but she survived something that should have killed her.

    The video is a shining example of Whitney’s ability to command attention and captivate stage by doing little more than singing. For the first time it seems, the song and the video both reflect heavily on her personal experiences; the mere idea of “I Look to You” is a succint way of alluding to God, and the direction (light, wind, and posturing) makes that obvious.

    Life is not about never failing, but always rising from the ashes. Whitney has risen from her ashes, scarred and burned, but she has still risen nonetheless.

    I pray that whether or not she continues to record music that she will remain healthy and always look to God.
