Glad to see that you stan for those three. 8-)

I Know Him So Well is okay, but I prefer the original by Elaine Paige
I definitely feel that it deserved more success in the US, especially as it was her comeback single and all.

Aw, I'd say it was a little better than "okay". :lol:

Yeah, "Million Dollar Bill" is definitely a grower. I didn't like it at first either. And I'm glad for reminding you of your love for "You Were Loved".

#55.

You Light Up My Life.

Image

A wonderfully uplifting love ballad, "You Light Up My Life" speaks of finally finding that one person who saves you from loneliness and becomes the light of your life. Though critics might dismiss it as being overly sappy, I'm a sucker for these optimistic love songs. I love Whitney's falsetto on this one.

#54.

Until You Come Back.

Image

Another soaring love ballad, "Until You Come Back" speaks of waiting for the return of an ex-lover and vowing to never love again until he comes back. I think the chorus is especially beautiful and Whitney's vocals are just so emotive and touching that one can't help but love the song.

#53.

In My Business.

Image

Penned and produced by Missy Elliott, "In My Business" speaks of outsiders judging and criticizing a couple's relationship. Obviously a reference to Whitney's troubled relationship with Bobby Brown, Whitney defiantly responds to her critics singing, Oh boy it's all the love you're giving, they mind because love's what they're missing. I like the song more for the R&B/Hip-Hop blend than for it's message.

#52.

Nothin' But Love.

Image

A shoutout to her lovers and haters, "Nothin' But Love" is Whitney's message to fans and critics alike that she has "nothin' but love" for them all. The lyrics are really uplifting and I just really connect to the message of loving everyone, even your haters and letting go of all feelings of malice.

#51.

All At Once.

Image

Though never officially released in the US, this poignant ballad did achieve success on the Italian and Dutch charts where it peaked at #4 and #6 respectively. Lyrically, the song speaks of an unfinished love and finally realizing that the one you loved will not return to you.

Fantastic batch :o :D

I'm totally here for her ballads, You Light Up My Life and Until You Come Back are flawless.

Nothin' But Love is great, one of the better songs from the album

All At Once and In My Business are good but weaker than the rest in here :wink: ...still an overall great batch

"Oh Yes" = wow, gettin' a bit nasty here Whitney ;) "the way I felt your chest, up next to mine...". the chorus is pretty good, but overall, this is a bit too long...though the 7 minutes don't drag on quite as much as I feared they would. hmmm...I wonder, since this is clearly meant to be baby-makin' music, maybe Bobby usually lasted around 7 minutes...?

"I Love The Lord" = the best part of this song is obviously my shout-out in your write up, so thank you for that! however I may feel about the song's message, it's hard to deny the passion and beauty in Whitney's voice as she sings it. maybe she'll convert me yet...........(nah, jk)

"Who Do You Love" = not counting the Japanese bonus tracks, this is probably...definitely my favorite non-single on IYBT. it's deliciously poppy and upbeat, definitely sounds like it could fit in on her first two albums.

"Salute" = hmm...this had me on board at first, nice and sassy, the pre-chorus is pretty great...but there's something about the actual chorus that really puts me off. the reference to LL Cool J in the bridge is cute.

"Why Does It Hurt So Bad" = ouch, you're pretty harsh on any 90's ballad singles that aren't "I Will Always Love You" or "I Have Nothing" :lol: like "Run To You", I do get why this is over-shadowed (coming after a smash like "Exhale", even though that wasn't quite a ballad), but it's still pretty great. No. 61 is a bit too low.

"Million Dollar Bill" = ...what? No. 60? gurl, this is arguably THE best song on I Look To You! definitely her best uptempo of the 00's. using a disco influence was actually a pretty refreshing choice for an R&B act like Whitney, and although it proved to be a bit too risky for the US, I'm glad it helped get her a big hit in the UK. "if you feel good, if you feelin' good, put one hand in the air..." and this song really DOES make you feel good! so catchy, so fun...No. 60 is simply bonkers, Akini.

"Just The Lonely Talking Again" = I can understand why this wasn't chosen as a single (though it probably could've done well on R&B radio)...but it's still pretty good.

"Joy To The World" = a nice cover, but I can't deny that I'm still partial to Mariah's version.

"You Were Loved" = this is quite lovely, and I'm glad to find another Preacher's Wife track that isn't strictly about praising the Lord. the song's message brings to mind B's "I Was Here".

"You Light Up My Life" = not a bad cover, but I think Whitney circa 1990 could've really taken this song to a whole 'nother level.

"Until You Come Back" = this one's pretty good...smooth, soulful, and the chorus has a nice punch to it.

"In My Business" = not a massive fan of this one, the chorus is okay, but Missy and Whitney do make for a pretty cool combo. the very end is cute: "why you all in my business? heh, get a job..."

"Nothin' But Love" = the intro's cool, I do like the sound of this. nice message too. it's no "Call You Tonight" or "Million Dollar Bill", but it's not bad.

"All At Once" = lovely, powerful ballad. the chorus is a bit of a let-down compared to the verses, but it's still quite solid overall. "all at once, I started counting teardrops, and at least a million fell...". :cry:

Paul, you so nasty. At any rate, seven minutes isn't completely pathetic. :wink:

Wow, I'm pleased to hear you like it so much! It's actually my second fave non-single from I'm Your Baby Tonight but considering how that album's tracks have been dropping like flies, that really doesn't say much. I really do like it though. :)

phoenix98 wrote:"Salute" = hmm...this had me on board at first, nice and sassy, the pre-chorus is pretty great...but there's something about the actual chorus that really puts me off. the reference to LL Cool J in the bridge is cute.
Yes, the pre-chorus is definitely stronger than the actual chorus but I love the empowerment message so much that that can be overlooked. ;)

I do believe "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" is a ballad, albeit a mid-tempo one. Any rate [look at me stealing your lingo (:lol:)], I do like "Why Does It Hurt So Bad" too...just not enough to rank it higher than #61. :)

phoenix98 wrote:"Million Dollar Bill" = ...what? No. 60? gurl, this is arguably THE best song on I Look To You! definitely her best uptempo of the 00's. using a disco influence was actually a pretty refreshing choice for an R&B act like Whitney, and although it proved to be a bit too risky for the US, I'm glad it helped get her a big hit in the UK.

Whoa, I'm surprised that a number of you guys actually like this song so much! I thought I would've been rebuked for ranking it too high, not too low. I don't see what you guys see in the song but it's definitely good, not great.

phoenix98 wrote:"Just The Lonely Talking Again" = I can understand why this wasn't chosen as a single (though it probably could've done well on R&B radio)...but it's still pretty good.
It was definitely a bit too slow for radio but it makes a great album track.

phoenix98 wrote:"Joy To The World" = a nice cover, but I can't deny that I'm still partial to Mariah's version.
Both versions are great, but I think I'd agree that Mimi's is a tad stronger.

phoenix98 wrote:"You Were Loved" = this is quite lovely, and I'm glad to find another Preacher's Wife track that isn't strictly about praising the Lord. the song's message brings to mind B's "I Was Here".
It's strange that you should compare the two because I thought the same until I realized that "I Was Here" referred more to wanting to leave behind a legacy based on your accomplishments/achievements/accolades whereas "You Were Loved" basically speaks about your existence being worthwhile because you were loved by someone.

phoenix98 wrote:"You Light Up My Life" = not a bad cover, but I think Whitney circa 1990 could've really taken this song to a whole 'nother level.
I agree completely.

phoenix98 wrote:"Until You Come Back" = this one's pretty good...'smooth, soulful, and the chorus has a nice punch to it.
Most of My Love Is Your Love is like that. 8-)

phoenix98 wrote:"In My Business" = not a massive fan of this one, the chorus is okay, but Missy and Whitney do make for a pretty cool combo. the very end is cute: "why you all in my business? heh, get a job..."
Yes, very cute, very shady, very...epic. 8-)

phoenix98 wrote:"Nothin' But Love" = the intro's cool, I do like the sound of this. nice message too. it's no "Call You Tonight" or "Million Dollar Bill", but it's not bad.
True tea at the bolded part. 8-)

I actually think the chorus is the highlight as Whitney's voice sounds so full there.

#50.

Could I Have This Kiss Forever.

Image

Whitney's duet with Latin heartthrob, Enrique Iglesias, "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" is a Latin-styled ballad. Though it failed to crack the Top 40 in the US, this lead single off Whitney's Greatest Hits compliation did experience international success as it peaked at #1 in Switzerland and The Netherlands and within the Top 10 in the UK, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, and several other territories. I love Whitney's belt at 2:45 and her singing "para siempre" in the chorus. Oh, and anytime Hottie Iglesias is in a video or featured on a song, that track automatically gets brownie points. :oops:

#49.

Dear John Letter.

Image

An mid-tempo R&B number from Whitney's Just Whitney... record, "Dear John Letter" speaks about wanting to mail a letter to a past significant other. At least, that's what I got from the song. Truth be told, the message is a bit hard to decipher but I guess like most songs, the lyrics are open to different interpretations.

#48.

I Go To The Rock.

Image

I've heard this song about three hundred and sixty-five million times as my sister used to play this every morning. Though it served as the soundtrack to an unwanted alarm of mine for a few years, there's no denying the quality of this Gospel track. Even for those who aren't religious, it's definitely a message that everyone can relate to. Just as Whitney "goes to the rock" (which is obviously a metaphor for the Lord), the song can be interpreted to suit others as everyone has a rock that they retreat to when their lives are shaky. Oh, and Whitney's vocals are just stellar here.

#47.

Anymore.

Image

And here we have my fave non-single from I'm Your Baby Tonight, "Anymore". Whitney tells of a no-good, cheating low-life in this track and how she "don't need (his) kinda love, don't need (his) kinda trust, don't need (his) kinda kisses", she simply doesn't need him "anymore". It's very upbeat, very sassy, very in-your-face aggressive and I absolutely love it.

#46.

Unashamed.

Image

The first verse is brilliant and just as you worry that you might get a sub-par chorus, Whitney sings over the thumping R&B beats and you know that you worried in vain. For me, I just love the lyrics in the chorus as I find them very relatable and the whole message of the song is just an empowering one, basically saying that you're "unashamed" of any decisions, that you are void of any regrets. This is definitely a song I hope I can sing truthfully many years down the road.

"Could I Have This Kiss Forever" = well, Enrique could certainly kiss me forever...and Whitney actually does sound a bit sexy speaking Spanish... but I was never too fussed with song. it's good, but Whitney's done much better.

"Dear Letter" = Akini, gurl, sounds like you need some educating on this one: it's about writing a letter to dump someone, but choosing not to actually mail it. a Dear John letter means writing a letter to dump someone. in the context of this song, you know she doesn't actually send it because "I know that it's not just you, it's some of my negligence too, and I can't go through with mailing this to you...". aka the story of Whitney's life in 2001-2002: a part of her knows Bobby is bad for her, but she still stays with him...

"I Go To The Rock" = in order to not fall behind, I'm just skipping the God songs at this point, sorry.

"Anymore" = not a bad pick for the best IYBT non-single, I'd say it's my 2nd favorite (after "Who Do You Love", not counting the Japanese bonus tracks). it certainly sh*ts all over "After We Make Love" and "I'm Knockin'".

"Unashamed" = like a lot of Just Whitney..., this song just kills me, since we know how Whitney's story ends. I just want to be like "you SHOULD be ashamed for being a cocaine addict! snap out of it and get some damn help, girl!" since I listened to this song after her passing, all I hear it a song of making excuses for her poor choices and addiction. what she needed in 2002 wasn't a "f*ck you, I'm fine with my choices" attitude, she needed a friggen intervention. *sigh*

I for one would get a bit bored with kissing and I'd have to take things a bit further...or rather lower. :wink:

I've honestly never heard of that term! I guess Americans use it a lot? Any rate, thanks for the lesson! It makes a lot more sense now. :)

I totally get where you're coming from with your exasperation with the whole Just Whitney... record but I try to look at things from Whitney's perspective and I guess the only thing that I can say to justify her actions is that love blinds reason. I can definitely relate to that. :roll:

#45.

Queen of the Night.

Image

The fifth and final single from The Bodyguard soundtrack album, "Queen of the Night" peaked at #9 in the UK though the sheer massiveness of it's parent album prevented it from being a bigger success stateside. An uptempo Pop/Rock number, I loved the electrifying scene in the film and the grit with which Houston sings the chorus. It's probably the most "Rock" song in Houston's discography.

#44.

I'm Every Woman.

Image

A cover of the Chaka Khan classic, Whitney's second single from The Bodyguard soundtrack peaked at #4 in the US and the UK as well as in the Top 5 in Spain, New Zealand, Ireland and Top 10 in several European territories. Though the original version will always remain my fave, Whitney's cover is probably the best cover out there and the little shoutout to Chaka Khan at the end (as well as her appearance in the music video) was sweet. This leaves "I Will Always Have You" and "I Have Nothing", two titanic ballads as the final remaining tracks from The Bodyguard.

#43.

Count On Me.

Image

A duet with Houston's long-time friend, Cece Winans, "Count On Me" was released as the second single from the Waiting To Exhale album. Though it peaked at #8 in the US and #12 in the UK, the song wasn't as internationally successful as it's predecessor. Nevertheless, it was a staple on Urban radio and I fondly remember hearing it every day as a young child. I love the theme of friendship talked about in the lyrics as I sometimes need to lean on my friends when things get tough and it's good to know that I can count on them. Whitney's and Cece's voices blend beautifully on this track.

#42.

You'll Never Stand Alone.

Image

Yet another friendship-themed song, I loved the pledge of loyalty Whitney makes in this track. The chorus here is just beautiful. I love the lyric, You'll always have a home in these arms of mine.

#41.

I Got You.

Image

An Akon-produced song, this is one of those rare moments where Houston's vocals take a backseat to the beat and the entire production of the track. As you can tell, I'm a sucker for these friendship-themed tracks. This is actually a song that could've made a pretty successful single for Houston had it been released as it has a very 'current' sound.

My Love.

Whitney's collaboration with then-husband Bobby Brown, "My Love" was a declaration for the love the couple had for each other. Ignoring the couple's obvious troubles, this song is pretty sweet and their voices blend quite nicely, I think.

One of Those Days.

Image

The second single from Just Whitney..., "One of Those Days" is a mid-tempo, groovy R&B number. I love the lightness of the track. It just puts me in a very relaxing mood and the chorus is so soothing. It's definitely a track to listen to after a long, hard semester and you just want to put up your feet and treat yourself to a day off.

#38.

Joy.

Image

A Gospel track from The Preacher's Wife soundtrack, "Joy" speaks of the pure delight that flooded Christians after the announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ. I fully expect Paul not to appreciate this one but one can't deny that the addition of the Georgia Mass Choir on the chorus doesn't make for a pretty splendid track.

#37.

Tell Me No.

Image

The third track of this set from Just Whitney..., "Tell Me No" addresses Whitney's critics and she defiantly tells them, Every word just gives me fuel. My favourite lyric from this wonderful mid-tempo R&B song is actually in the second verse where she sings, If you're making me feel bad, then tell me do you feel good?. It's certainly the perfect song to listen to when you have a barrage of haters discouraging you from achieving your dreams. Very uplifting and I love the guitar solo at the end.

#36.

Step By Step.

Image

Released as the second single from The Preacher's Wife soundtrack, "Step By Step", a cover of the Annie Lennox song, was a pretty sizable hit worldwide peaking at #2 in Spain as well as in the Top 20 in the US, the UK, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, and several other territories. Another one of Whitney's uplifting singles, "Step By Step" talks about taking every day, addressing every problem one step at a time. This always reminds me of Jordin's "One Step At A Time". I have many fond recollections of hearing this song on the radio quite frequently as a young boy.
