You guys were not kidding about "Call You Tonight". That song is phenomenal! :o The title track, "Million Dollar Bill", and "Nothin' But Love" are all good too.

I'm finding myself drawn to 'Salute' and 'Nothin' But Love' since re-listening to the album. I love the "There been haters since this world's been goin round" section of 'NBL'. Whitney we miss you!

NBL is good but sounds quite dated FTL is better.

"For The Lovers" is another favorite from the album, I agree. I love that "...for the next 3 minutes it's about the lovers" line. I sing along to that every time I hear the song hahaha

For The Lovers should've been a single. I think it's one of her best.

It's a really strong record. Always has been.

"For The Lovers" has a retro and modern feel to it.

I LOOK TO YOU (Song)

This song makes me feel as if Houston is with me, when I hear it and the melodies are gone, in her I found a song... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
I am so emotional listening to this !!

When she released this, there were a lot who bashed this album. I'm glad I'm not one of those. :D :D

For The Lovers is one of my favourite songs of all time. It is a pretty much perfect pop song.

Good for you!

I just think that us more humble of humans that did "bash" the album were shocked at how much her vocals had declined.

In death or not, her vocals are not very good on this record.

But they're not bad, they just don't sound as good because of how we remember her voice before. She's still better here than most singers in the top 40.

Her vocals were okay. She kept it real and did not have editors make her range sond like it use to like some artist.

Who?

This is a good album but it obviously lacks the voice.

I really love this album. Whitney never compromised her sound which is another I will also love her. For The Lovers is such am awesome club jam :) 8-)
I glad she ended off with this album. Vocally she's does sound to struggle here and there but all round, she delivered.

This is probably my second fave Whitney record after MLIYL! :P
