Whitney's first album since 2002 (excluding a Xmas CD) will be released on Sept 1. It's titled "I Look to You" as you may have guessed.

R Kelly demo track of the album title song:




It's been years since Whitney topped the charts. Do you think she has any chance of making a comeback given how music on the radio has changed?

Whitney's voice still sounds pretty good. She'll never be able to return to her "glory days" though, which is a shame.

Seeing R. Kelly sing the demo reminded me how much I want a new R. Kelly album that is strictly R&B and has nothing to do with Hip Hop.

only 2002 seems longer than that.

I'll just leave this here:

Album release date has been moved up--by 1 day! It drops August 31 and the title track at whitneyhouston.com is available as a free download until July 31.

The album is likely to go #1. Doubt there is any competition.

I found most of the tracks to be rather forgettable and bland. Million dollar bill, a song with a retro sound, is OK. A shame that the album as a whole isn't better. May require repeated listens.

Based on her appearance on GMA yesterday, the voice is nowhere as strong as it used to be:

I hope that she will be able to re-gain her clarity and range over time. In any other case I would think it's impossible, but the same thing happened to Mary J. Blige. She used to smoke pot and her voice sounded terrible back in the late 90s/early 2000s, but she sounds much better now. I'm hoping that it'll just take time. I've never been a die hard fan of hers, and personally I enjoy her presence and personality more than her music. My favorite song from her is "Miracle", and that was recorded in 1990.

I don't like her new song.

Well, never really liked all of her songs (except maybe, I Will Always Love You)

Well I have listened to her new cd twice now and it's growing on me it's not that bad but it's not great!

The cd has definitely grown on me. I'm glad I gave it a chance!

Here's the official video for Million Dollar Bill:

Album is #1 as expected with sales of over 300K.
