Whitney Houston preps for a comeback

Thank you for this post, StuntDouble. I'm sooo excited about Whitney's return. As a kid, not understanding anything about it, I thought that the Gulf War was ended because all the forces that were fighting heard Whitney sing the U.S. National Anthem and were like (choked up) "Man, forget it! I don't even wanna fight no no'. I'm goin home." It wasn't that she was singing the U.S. National Anthem by any means, it was just the power of WHITNEY! I thought her voice was enough to stop a war. Oh, my child brain!

That was funny.

Right on for Whitney. I'm stoked for her, though I'm not into the techno-isk music. She is legendary.

I so want this to work out for her...I'm a Whitney fan from way, way back and seeing her back (and in fine form) makes me ridiculously giddy.

That said, I'm not going to lie, when I heard the first single from her new album, my first thought was: man, I bet Jennifer Hudson would kill this track. Not exactly the reaction the record company is going for, I'd imagine.  

Whitney needs to reclaim her crown!

 yes oprah has god-like qualities lol shes all-knowing

"Hands upon my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.
Remember I will always love you,
Even as I claw your fucking throat away.
But it will end no other way"

Whitney and Oprah one-on-one- the room may explode from pure diva- this is meant in the best way possible.

and unfortunately all i will be able to hear is Joel McHale with "Whitney- rebuttal?!"

Well, this album isn't bad! I'm listening to it as I type this and I'm enjoying it, especially 'Like I never left'. I actually like the new huskiness to her voice, quality always shines through. Maybe I'll buy it... I don't own any Streisand or Midler and thus need a gay icon on my CD rack:)

Also, the Oprah interview is going to be awesome!

Has anyone seen this movie with Whitney and Denzel Washington? It's my favorite holiday movie of all time. The soundtrack (sung almost entirely by Whitney) is phenomenal. She's just so sweet as a preacher's wife and unassuming mother.

As I grew up, it was hard for me to reconcile the angelic Whitney in the film with the train-wreck persona she's tried on in the not too distant past.

I'm excited for her comeback! And wish the lovely lady nothing but happiness and success :)

I LOVE the way you started off this article!

For people like us who love Whitney too...it's a very apt description of her haha.

Her album is called 'I Look To You' not 'I Run To You' : )

Super excited for her long awaited comeback! Come on Whitney, show these little girls how it's done right. 

Natalie Wood..always imitated, never duplicated. 

I love that song! 

We need her to help out the music industry...like right now! 

Matt's world you just live in it!

I'm so glad her marriage was over to Bad Boy Bobby. I'm hope she cleaned up her act for herself, her daughter, her fans and for the Divine. 

Techno-pop?  I hope her next album will be old skool  R&B.  Did R&B die or something?  I know Maxwell is trying to bring the groove back but he can't do it all by himself. So,Whitney help the brotha out,will ya.

 I will find her new album and take a listen and see if I can find that gorgeous voice of hers again.  Mrs. Mariah disappointed me by crossing over too much to the Hip-Hop side.  

Whitney, I hope you reign again and reclaim your crown,honey. 

Is not that bad. I'm listening to the streaming music now.  I wouldn't describe it as Techno-Pop.  It's got some grooves, R&B,etc.   Techno-pop is a wrong description.  

I 'll buy it. I miss Whitney.

I'm happy Whitney Houston seems to be getting her life together, if not just for her, but for Bobby Christina as well. I hated seeeing what had become of her...she's just too talented. I only hope for the best for her.

I wonder if she'll stop by Wendy Williams show to proomote her album...Wendy's practically laying out the red carpet for her.

Whitney has the best voice ever, hands-down.  As long as I've had opinions, this has been one of them.  People talk about Mariah or Aretha, but no.  Maybe it's the clarity.  There's just something so perfect about the way she sings.  "One Moment In Time", "I Have Nothing" "All The Man That I Need"  "Saving All My Love For You" "Didn't We Almost Have It All".....damn, those are some good songs!  And no one can even touch the Star Spangled Banner ever again, just give up, there's no sense in trying.

I haven't listened to the new music yet, because I'm a little scared, but I'll buy it either way.  I'm sure she sounds great, but it's always hard to return to the scene after a long break, especially when you feel the need to reinvent yourself.  I'm just glad she's back, and based on the comments above, still so well-loved. Go 'head Whitney!

I'm so happy that Whitney is back. Her first single I didn't really care that much for. "I look to you,"  when I heard this song I became all giddy. It's true her voice is not the same, maybe it will get better in years to come. I don't know. Either way I'm happy to hear her sing again.
