Yeah I was just about to use that as an example. The whole thing just made her sound rather angry.

"Whitney Houston... for one, vocally -- she's still got it. Like she never left. It's gonna be a pleasant shock for everybody."

Am i the only one who's tired of ne-yo running his mouth. Who does he think he is saying whats hot and whats not. One minute he critises her then compliments her. He's a walking contradiction and his opinion isnt important to me anyway he swears he's quincey jones or someone.... sit down

Its called Publicity! Remember, this fool just had an album released...
And between him and Kanye, they dont know where to draw the line between self-confidence and being cocky! :evil:

As for the woman at hand, she looks great; its so "Bodyguard" days. I really cant wait to hear this forthcoming album. I dont care what the people call it (comback, etc.) but for me, its definitely going to be classic Whitney (like every other album). She just needs to realise that she must stick to her own style and not compete with the "whats hot and whats not" clan! :lol:

I like those pictures; she looks well. I'd rather she looked "mid 90s" than emaciated, drugged up and like she hadn't washed in weeks.

I cant really make out which voice was whitney's apart from cece's bit at the start, she sounds different maybe its the quality of the video. How come things have gone so quiet all of a sudden whats goin on with this album? She's competing with mya and laryn for the most delayed album in the history of the world lol

how is her album delayed..when it NEVER had a release date...and she just started working on it this spring :-?

Clive noticed that with celine..mariah..madonna N dem all dropping new albums winter 2007..he'll save her album for early 2008.

plus its impossible to release leona..J.hud N Whitney at the same time.

save the best for last 8-)

Wow chill! Its never had an offical release date no but its been supposed to be coming out for the last 2 years with clive an people throwing things around like this sping, this summer etc. Anyway my main point is we were getting all this imformation then it all went abit quiet maybe its the quiet before the storm! And you really need to stop being so defensive like you're the only whitney fan on here lol

I get what your saying..but to me the difference was..whitney was going to rehab and starting up from scratch ..getting her voice back In shape.

mya N lauryn hill had actual recorded material and various release dates.

whitney recorded her 1st song(s) last summer.

I know there was a lot of buzz when she apeared on the world music awards 04..but Im happy they are taking their time..after Just Whitney I don't want anything rushed anymore :D

Yeah I agree but look whats happening to those two theres only a certain aamount of time the 'hype' round an album can last wait to long and people lose interest I think she's had plenty of time (and with the the writers and producers used) to make a really great record I'd just like reassurance thats it's well on the way to being done

It's a good thing to hold her new album release to early 2008, IMO. I really look forward to it. By the sounds of that video, Whitney's really been working hard to get that voice back on top form. Kicking Bobby Brown to the curb is probably the best decision she's made, concerning her career and personal life.

''Just Whitney'' was after a 4 year gap, I wouldn't call it rushed.

it was rushed out after her greatest hits release..+ they pushed up the release when the tracks started leaking messing up the entire promo scedule.
that era was a flop in all aspects

Just Whitney WAS rushed. She was so lazy and messed up that year and she didn't sound great. The music also sucked. Lots and lots of bad decisions. This upcoming album needs clear minded thinking and time. The right songs and the right time. I think they should wait for early 2008. She can sing at the Grammys, make some American Idol appearences, and they can also schedule some kind of tribute show to her. And tour/promote in the summer.

The clip is promising. She sounds clear and happy, and her gorgeous tone is still there. She doesn't sound hoarse or deep breathing like she just finished smoking cigarettes. Her range seems to be missing though.

Yeah I agree a rushed album would be really bad, but I mean how long does she need? Just Whitney was years ago now! Even the best most creative singer/songwritters in the business dont need as long (mostly) And its not like shes doin it all Clive has the best songwritters and producers around preparing songs etc Im just thinking we should be hearing more I'm getting bored waiting and fear tha when the album does come out and its not this amazing record people are gonna be like "we waited all this time for this!" type thing

I might be incorrect..but I believe the album has beeen recorded and finished..and they are just picking the right time to release it...which I agree with them that Top of this year ain't..it's too much happening...even if she is Miss Houston and should be able to handle all competition..I'd rather her drop in the spring...than sharing teh Lime with Celine..madonna N mariah this winter

Akon: It`s A Set-Up! (RWD interview inside)
Artist: Akon

[...]

Is it right you’re working on 50, Eminem’s and Whitney Houston’s new projects?
Yeah that's all happened. Definitely look out for all that. The single me and Whitney worked on is going to be the biggest song of her career, I am telling you. I can positively say that it will be a huge single for her. She's basically right back to the start of her career; she hasn't released an album in years and now she's hungry for it like no other. She's coming back as Whitney Houston not the conflicted Whitney. This Whitney is not what the media created her to be, she's back on form and I can guarantee that.

Well I Know How HUGE Whitney Is But I Don't Trust That Guy I Mean He Also Said That Chili Gonna Kick Beyonce's Ass Of So Or Something In That Way.. I Don't Know If I Should Trust His Comments But Though I Hope It's A Really Good Song Because She Can Finally Make Her Comeback Again Like Mariah Did With TEOM... :)
