What do the lyrics have to do with opinions on the sound of her voice? Nothing. She could take a massive shit and you'd think it was gold.

This song will only succeed in gay dance clubs if it is remixed. As a stand alone single, AC stations won't be spinning this track (much like Celine Dion's last attempt "My Love"), the song is too bland. I don't know why Diane Warren keeps penning songs, the hack hasn't written anything relevant or hit-worthy since the late 90's, and that's when POP format was still embracing/playing LeAnn Rimes, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, etc.
With POP radio format geared more toward hip-hop/urban today, it's highly unlikely Whitney will get any support from TOP 40/POP format stations with the release of this single. Had the song had a bit of a rhythmic beat (like Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love") or had she gone the route Mariah took (more urban sounding), she might have had a chance.
Unfortunately, I don't think this will be Whitney's "comeback" success. There might be initial interest with digital sales in its first week which might give it a higher placing on the Hot 100, but this is not a radio hit and I don't think it will translate to sales longevity either. I feel sad for her because I really wanted her to have the comeback that Mariah experienced a few years ago. I guess this isn't to be.
The album however might do well, but with a weak lead single, that usually spells disaster. I wish she hadn't collaborated with Diane Warren. In fact, I wish Diane Warren would just GO AWAY!

For the people who said the lyrics are tired and corny:
Mmmm Whitney Houston's new single continues to keep me from spiraling into a deep depression due to the lack of med tech jobs in Houston.

That doesn't prove the lyrics aren't tired and corny. It just proves AaronKyle has bad taste. Like I said, her new voice is interesting. She needs ace material not stale leftovers she wouldn't have touched in the 90's.
I like the changes in her voice, it is life, nothing stays the same. Don't get me wrong a pristine 18 year old voice is a beautiful thing...but this is much more relatable & THAT IS POP MUSIC!
All i know is her tone is the same & when she sings "...and I tumbled" it's in a way only she could do & not only am i taken back to be 7 years old and hearing her for the first time but i feel at home....i think giving that feeling to people (like she & mariah can no matter) is so much better than delivering a perfect vocal that no one can relate to, that is great but it can get old & hollow.
Makes me think of that kid the runner up on American idol last year, one of the most beautiful male voices i have heard- perfect in every way except that you could tell the kid had not even started to live a life.
