#6
I Learned From The Best

Peak:
US:#27
UK:#19

The 4th and final single from My Love Is Your Love, very underrated and forgotten, it became a moderate hit. The music video was notable because of Whitney's huge hair.

#5
I'm Your Baby Tonight

Peak:
US:#1
UK:#5

Her first single released in the 90s. It became another #1 from her. I prefer the slower version to the dance version. This song is full of her high and fast belting notes. Very strong vocal. One of her underrated #1s.

#6 I Learned From The Best
#5 I'm Your Baby Tonight

Both great; "I Learned From The Best" should have been a bigger hit!

EPIC songs

"I Learned From The Best" is epic and criminally underrated! The lyrics are well-written, the melody is great, and Whitney's vocals are convincing. Lovely song!

So true, it's definitely her BEST single from 00s.

I'm Your Baby Tonight

The lower one is my favourite Whitney Houston song. It's so amazing.

i'm your baby tonight has always been one of my favourite whitney tunes. it's really catchy.

I learned from the best is a nice ballad but it never really clicked with me.

I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)

This single is clearly her best uptempo! It's also one of her most famous hits. The music video was so notable because of Whitney's bizarre and colorful outfit and style, especially her blonde hair. Crazy! :lol:

#3
When You Believe (With Mariah Carey)

US:#15
UK:#4

One of the best duets ever created imo, 2 huge divas with flawless vocal in 1 song. Very surprised that the singles wasn't a bigger hit. The song was also highly criticized. Well probably people just had too high expectation at that time.

by **PosziMC2** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 1:15 pm

Incredible songs again! I Wanna Dance With Somebody'S video is iconic.

by **JSparksFan** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 2:38 pm

"When You Believe" is amazing, an undisputed classic. It's a shame the duet gets so much hate 'cause it really is fantastic. Whitney and Mariah's voices blend so beautifully here. I love it!

"I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" is one of those defining 80's songs. I think this is second only to "I Will Always Love You" when it comes to Houston's signature songs. It's so catchy and powerful at the same time.

When You Believe (With Mariah Carey)

That duet is awesome

by **BeeFan** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:23 pm

Great list ...what a great discography for her in general

by **stevyy** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:34 pm

OMFG you love When you Believe so much? Me too. I actually think it's my most played song since it was released by any artist. I was more than obsessed with my two favourite female vocalists of all times singing together.

I wanna dance with somebody is amazing. I remember dancing to the video when it came on on TV.

#4 I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)

One of her best, so iconic 8-)

by **CrazyCrazy** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:21 pm

Your #4 is a really fun and carefree song, it is certainly a pop classic!

by **NothingFails** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:22 pm

I'm Your Baby Tonight and I Wanna Dance With Somebody are both about the same position I'd rank them as favorite Whitney songs.

by **CrazyCrazy** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:24 pm

"When You Believe" is a complete bore/cheesefest! :lol:

It's also among my top 15 Mariah's singles. It's quite underrated on the chart, how come it wasn't a huge hit?

My Love Is Your Love

I used to dislike this song, but now i really love it. It's a kind of urban jam with reggae influence. GReta lyrics as well. Whitney looks so beautiful in the music video imo. And the hair, maybe she was inspired by Lauryn Hill. The song became Whitney's final worldwide hits.

#1
I Have Nothing

Peak:
US: #4
UK: #3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cjV5dTaE6U

One of my all timer favorite songs, and my favorite Whitney's song as well. Ohe of the best ballads ever. Surprised it didn't become a bigger worldwide hit. This song is miles better than I Will Always Love You imo, but forever it'll be overshadowed by the bigger song.

Thank you for following my countdown. RIP Whitney Houston...

"I Have Nothing" is absolutely phenomenal.

"Don't walk away from me,
DON'T walk away from me,
DON'T YOU DARE walk away from me,
I have nothing, nothing, nothiiiing,
If I don't have yooouuuuu"

by **biscuits** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 12:42 am

My Love is Your Love - perhaps my least favourite Whitney single.

I Have Nothing - my favourite Whitney song!

by **ANH** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 12:46 am

This chart compelled me to listen to "I Have Nothing" again.
Wow. The power in her voice. Amazing.

It's really moving, the beta is catchy, you must try to listen to it more

"My Love Is Your Love" is an amazing track. I used to love it more back in the day, though.

"I Have Nothing" is an incredible ballad, and one of the most performed songs on talent shows. Only Whitney can really do the song justice, though. As you mentioned, it's a shame that it's so overshadowed by "I Will Always Love You", but the latter is the better song, at least in my opinion.

Great chart, overall, though. It was really nice to see some of Whitney's more underrated gems appreciated here.
