After "My Love Is Your Love", this is my favorite Whitney album over all! It's so consistent! All the tracks were good, her voice wasn't great but it was better than I thought it would be! I never expected it to be her last album!!

I always thought I Got You was underrated from this album, such a perfect song. I don't usually like Akon, in any shape or form, but he did an excellent job on I Got You.

My first fave on this album back in 2009 was "Like I Never Left". It still sounds very refreshing. 8-)

My fave is Call You Tonight, her voice is so clear on it.

Actually, Whitney impressed me with all the fast jams in this era! And the ballads are off course on par or standard.

Seriously,I really miss Whitney and it saddens me that she died the way she did :cry:

when I first listened to it, I instantly fell in love with I got you and 2.5 years later I still love it the most! I love the whole album though. Much better than Memoirs which was released a few weeks later.

Lots of people seemed to love the Akon tracks but they were always my least favourite on the album.

"Call You Tonight" was definitely the highlight of the album for me. I can't believe they didn't release it.

Nothin' But Love is definitely the highlight of the album for me. I remember I always used to listen to it around late 2009/2010. It's such a feel good song, which is actually the case for a lot of the songs on this album. It's a shame it was her last. :(

There's still her songs from Sparkle we are yet to hear, they're something to look forward to I suppose.

I have randomly chosen the song that wasn't a single to be sure if I should buy this album... Nothing But Love sounds soooo catchy! Why she didn't release it, such fresh tune!!!
