Re: Whitney Houston Comeback CD Sept. 1st!!!

She sings I Look To You with the exact cadence of R. Kelly. Apparently, she followed his demo pretty closely. I think that at some parts, the key is slightly lower than her comfortable range. But not too bad.

I don't think that the song is bad, period. She definitely sounds much better than I expected.

However, it ain't vintage Whitney, or even what un-polluted Whitney would've sounded like at age 46 (I hate that, 'cause vintage Whitney was brilliant).

But, it's hard not to wish her well with her comeback.

Re: Whitney Houston's, I Look To You.

I LOVE HER cant wait for new CD
 
Re: Whitney Houston Comeback CD Sept. 1st!!!

I didn't know Whitney would be eligable for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year. I'm even more shocked she wasn't already inducted into that.

I'm also glad they moved her album release date up. Now the cd is eligable for Grammy consideration

Earlier release date puts Whitney Houston and 'I Look to You' into Grammys race

Whitney Houston could contend for this year's Grammy Awards now that "I Look to You" is being released on Aug. 31, the last day of eligibility. Plans had been to drop this disc the next day – Sept. 1 – which as a Tuesday is the traditional time for new releases. However, good buzz is building about Houston's first studio album in six years, with well-attended listening parties in L.A. and Gotham. The title track is available both for streaming and as a free download until July 31 at Houston's official website.


Houston first came to fame with a self-titled debut disc in 1985 that won her a Grammy Award for best pop vocal performance and contended for the top prize of album of the year (Phil Collins won for "No Jacket Required"). And she earned an Emmy for her performance of "Saving All My Love For You" on that Grammycast. Her single "The Greatest Love of All" lost record of the year the following year to "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood.

Houston won another pop vocal Grammy in 1987 for "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" off her second album "Whitney." That disc also competed for album of the year but lost to U2 for "The Joshua Tree."

Her third studio album — 1990's "I'm Your Baby Tonight" — did not net her any Grammys. However, the soundtrack for her film debut, "The Bodyguard," won album of the year in 1993 while her rendition of the Dolly Parton tune "I Will Always Love You" won record of the year and a third pop vocal Grammy.

Houston's fourth studio album, "My Love Is Your Love," included the track "It's Not Right but It's Okay," which won her a sixth and so far final Grammy for R&B vocal performance in 1999. Her last mainstream album "Just Whitney" was released in 2002 but did not contend at the Grammys. Neither did her 2003 holiday album, "One Wish."

Houston could be poised for a classic Hollywood comeback. In February, she performed at the annual pre-Grammy party of her onetime mentor, Clive Davis, and appeared on the kudocast as well, bestowing a Grammy on Jennifer Hudson. Could she be receiving a lucky seventh Grammy next year?

Re: Whitney Houston Comeback CD Sept. 1st!!!

#3 on Amazon...

...but #5 in R&B. How does that work?

Re: I Look To You / Whitney Houston

I think it's a very beautiful song. I like it better than that Diane Warren song (who I adore, but she's a hit or miss song writer).
 
Re: I Look To You / Whitney Houston

I kinda agree with jjay855.

I was expecting more of a WOW! ... and instead got a NICE.

There's nothing wrong with NICE, but it sure ain't a WOW!

Not too sure how that works. But I guess that means she's #3 in music albums OVERALL but #5 in the R&B album category.

She's behind only Michael Jackson's 2 albums though. If he hadn't died she would be #1 right now. So, technically, she's basically #1. (!)
 
Re: I Look To You / Whitney Houston

I agree....... I mean its nice glad she is making a come back but she needs something of the Caliber of "I Will Always Love You", "I Have Nothing" or "Its not right"
 
Re: I Look To You / Whitney Houston

"Like I Never Left" 2 out of 4 stars
"I Look To You" 1 out of 4 stars
Click to expand...

:confused::eek: Oh no that's not wassup. Those two songs are both beautiful and enjoyable. Let me guess Mariah " Obsessed" gets 3 out of 4 stars? Everyone voice changes, Whitney isn't going to be belting out those songs like she did in the 80s, instead she has a very experienced voice.
 
Re: Whitney Houston Comeback CD Sept. 1st!!!

>>>Not too sure how that works. But I guess that means she's #3 in music albums OVERALL but #5 in the R&B album category.

Gosh, you're cute. :)

Consider. She has the number three album overall. That means two other albums are outselling hers (Michael Jackson titles, as you say). But if she's #5 in R&B, that means FOUR R&B albums are outselling hers. That means two R&B albums are outselling her on the R&B listing, but not (apparently) on the overall listing. How does that work?

Not bitching, or trying to take the shine off, mind you. I'm just confused.

Re: Whitney Houston's, I Look To You.

It's too soon to tell. Whitney has always been about bringing a total package. When she's on stage, in a beautiful gown, gorgeous hairstyle, connecting the way she does with an audience, we'll see if this song has what it takes. Knowing how Clive Davis operates, he's likely to save the best for last. And then there are the inevitable dance remixes...
 
Re: Whitney Houston Comeback CD Sept. 1st!!!

Well, remember that the music scene here in the US is awfully Balkanized. Whitney is considered a crossover artist, so that she is included in several categories of music (Pop, R&B, Adult Contemporary, Dance, etc.).

When compared to albums that are classified as R&B, but not necessarily Pop, her album is the 4th best selling choice. However, on the overall chart at Amazon--which probably reflects a more crossover/Pop sensibility--her album is the 3rd best-selling choice.
