It's true, the song becomes a true goodbye song from Whitney, and ironically it's one of her final singles.

My Name Is Not Susan

Peak:
US: #20
UK: #29

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmxBdlrlU1Y

An underrated uptempo from her, i think it's one of her best uptempo jam. The music video also has an interesting concept. Surprised it wasn't more successful.

#15
Saving All My Love For You

Peak:
US: #1
UK: #1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewxmv2tyeRs&ob=av2n

This was her first ever #1 hit, one of her most popular hits. It's a bit jazzy. The 2nd single from her debut album which brought her fame.

#14
Same Script, Different Cast

Peak:
US: #70
UK: -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVh0_DQtwyU

A cool duet between 2 great singers. I like the using of Beethoven's melody in this song. It should've been released as a full single, not only a radio single. It has potential.

"My Name Is Not Susan" is alright, but for Whitney's standards, it's certainly sub-par.

"Saving All My Love For You" is a brilliant ballad. Whitney's vocals are on-point and it's undoubtedly one of her many classics.

This may surprise you but I think "Same Script, Different Cast" may actually be my fave of the batch. It's an underrated gem and an excellent collaboration. The lyrics are great and Whitney's and Deborah's voices harmonize perfectly on the track.

I agree, very underrated duet from her. The message of the song is great

Didn't We Almost Have It All

Peak:
US: #1
UK: #14

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_4PlM85NJo&ob=av2e

The 2nd single from Whitney, i think it's quite underrated and a bit forgotten despite being a #1 hit. I think it's a beautiful ballad.

#12
How Will I Know

Peak:
US: #1
UK: #5

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiJ_2zQYUFg

One of her signature hits, i like the melody. Her first uptempo single and it became her 2nd #1 hit. A cute but a bit cheesy song. The music video is also cute.

#11
Try It On My Own

Peak:
US: #84
UK: -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irgrt8h2U84

The 3rd single from her lowest selling album, Just Whitney. It's extremely underrated, a very beautiful ballad with great lyrics and message. Too bad, people weren't ready with her comeback at that time.

by **PosziMC2** » Sun Mar 04, 2012 10:57 am

Didn't We Almost Have Ii All The live performances >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

How Will I Know classic 8-)

Try It On My Own one of her bests!

by **JSparksFan** » Sun Mar 04, 2012 1:53 pm

"How Will I Know" is a nice enough track. You ranked it way higher than I would have.

"Didn't We Almost Have It All" is epic! Whitney's vocals are just so powerful on the track. A very well-deserved US #1. 8-)

Yes, i love her vocal in this song,very strong, and it's definitely a well-deserved #1 for sure, sadly it's so underrated and overshadowed by many of her other ballads.

#13 Didn't We Almost Have It All
#12 How Will I Know

#13 great, #12 one of her all-time best

Exhale (Shoop Shoop)

Peak:
US: #1
UK: #11

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrTuV4Szxzo&ob=av2e

This was Whitney's final #1 hit in US, one of rare #1 debuts on Hot 100. The single was the lead single from Waiting To Exhale Soundtrack. It's a very peaceful song. I like the way she sings shoop shoop part.

#9
Whatchulookinat

Peak:
US: #96
UK: #13

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxdToknod4I

Whitney's lead single from her lowest selling studio album, Whatchulookinat. Very underrated, i think it's her best single from the 00s. Surprised it wasn't a success mainly in US. Public probably wasn't ready yet with some new Whitney after her drugs scandal.

Can't say Im overly fond of any of those but tey're good

by **stevyy** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 12:57 pm

exhale gives me life. Didn't we almost have it all is incredible. How will I know makes my feet dance and Whatchulookinat is hardcore underrated in general.

So true

Whatchulookinat is ok, but I can see why it flopped. It just wasn't a classic Whitney song.

Well, i think it wasn't really different compared to It's Not Right But It's Okay, both are midtempo urban jam. I guess it was because of the bad timing.

by **GetBack** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 9:34 am

Whatchulookinat is so dated, it's just okay. I can't believe that she decided to go for that kind of lead single.

I really love "How Will I Know". The vocals are so good!

I Will Always Love You

Peak:
US: #1
UK: #1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JWTaaS7LdU&ob=av2e

The lead single from The Bodyguard Soundtrack. One of the most popular ballads of all time, Whitney's biggest hit. The best selling single by a female artist of all time. 1 word: Classic. Her vocal acrobatic for the final chorus is so beautiful and haunting!

#7
All The Man That I Need

Peak:
US: #1
UK: #13

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WH1Ma50QUk&ob=av2n

The 2nd single from I'm Your Baby Tonight, a beautiful ballad. It became another #1 hit for her. I think it's a bit forgotten and overshadowed by her other more popular ballads.

by **PosziMC2** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 1:34 pm

Only flawless songs 8-)

by **Benny** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 2:37 pm

I love "Exhale", "All The Man That I Need" and of course "IWALY"

by **JSparksFan** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 3:58 pm

"Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" is one of Whitney's more underrated #1's. It's absolutely amazing.

"I Will Always Love You" will always be Houston's signature song. No one else can sing that song like she does. She put her mark on it and every time a female artist covers this song, they prove that Whitney's version remains unrivalled..

"All The Man That I Need" is a power ballad! It's criminally underrated, as you pointed out. Fully deserving of a Top 10 position, in my opinion.

So true. There will never be any singers who can top Whitney's version of the song.
