The Whitney Houston Comeback Album

Written by SOHH Soul Man

Posted on February 2, 2006 10:10 AM

Many people are hoping that Whitney Houston can stop "partying" long enough to take note of Mariah's hard work and Janet's comeback efforts and will "go into the studio to show who the voice really is" according to one fansite.

Although there is no new major news to report on the project, apparently tracks have been submitted from the likes of Missy Elliott, Alicia Keys, and Lil' John. Lil' Jon? WTF??? I know you can find Whitney in the "A" but I don't know how crunk'd I want to see Ms. Houston get.

I think Whitney has it in her to do it though. One good come back would let the world know that their adoration over the years was not wasted. Here is some footage from deep deep in the SOHH Soulful archives of Whitney getting the party started, and no there's no glass pipe involved.

From the 1987 Top of the Pops:

In other news, Jamie Foxx still has the #1 R&B album in the country followed by Mary J., Chris Brown, Keyshia Cole, Mariah Carey and Anthony Hamilton.

GET SERIOUS!

I hate to say it but Whitney is the biggest fraud that ever picked up a mike! That bitch career has been over for years! I saw that lame bitch on a VH1 special that was dedicated to her and all the guest singers blew her away! Like always her live performace sucked donkey balls! I have never heard her hit that note in that Body Guard song live ever! And who still gives a fuck about that junkie anyway?

i don't know if whitney can recover afer all she has taken her fans through. i know it must be hard being in the spotlight all the time but. what kind of example is she setting for the kids who watch television and see all the gossip about ms. houston and the pipe.even if she was to put out a "come back album" i wouldn't buy it, b/c who knows what she goinna do with the profit..andi am sorry i don't don't support anyones habit but my own...lol

I think Whitney should perform "rock" music.

That is crazy. Whitney did hit note live. She was mind blowing live. You may be to young to know. But she did have it and I heard her live. The smoking has ruined her voice. She was once the greatest singer in the world.

Whitney can sing her A$$ off. This is a live performance stupid. Can't any of these new R&B chicks come close to this talent. It's just sad how she let herself down. She would have been one of the greatest. She was a rare and special talent.

"I Use To Love Her" back in the day, but her last good album was 98s "My Love Is..." She just needs to get her mind right.

I think she should just retire and leave it alone. Her voice is way gone and she'll do more damage to an already damaged career if she tries to sing again. Honestly, they would have to stack, over-dub and use talented backup singers on any records with Whitney Houston. She's pretty much made it bad for herself. If they record her in her lower voice (which would be the case) than people will say she can't hit those high notes anymore and that will become the bases for the album. Even Mariah Carey's voice isn't the same as it was when she started in 1990.

Whitney's main problem is her image. Can Whitney appeal to a younger crowd who are obsessed with the likes of Beyonce. It's a P.R. nightmare when a record company is putting in millions of dollars in a project when people on the streets are calling their artist a crackhead.

all you jealous punk ass mofos..need to step off....wayyyyyyyy off!!!!!!!!!
my baby is the queen of r&b!!!!!!!!!i'm the king....nuff said...and yes i will perform a duet with my boo...nuff said....p.s. congrats johnny g. and ralph t on your secret wedding...bitches!!!!!!!!!!

Whitney still has talent. I agree that it would be difficult to market her. But if she brought out a good album I think her talent would speak for itself.
As for the guy who saidf she was a farud: Bitch please, Whitney has only ever mimed a handful of songs in her 20+ year career.
That is what was good about Whitney. She had integrity as a singer and as artist.
I thini My Love.. was a brilliant album and if she cam make another like her she will have no problem re-establishing herself

I think that it really is sad when we take the time to be so judgemental. Addiction is an illness. We should all continue to pray for Whitney and her family. For those of us whose lives has been touch by addition--we certainly understand. if you have been so fortunate that you have not, consider yourself blessed. Whitney's talent and her legacy continues! No one (yet) has achieved the level of success that she has. To have achieved once in a lifetime is to be commended. Whitney is song, film and production has achieved all (several times).

jonnix said it best.

Whitney Houston CAN sing better than all these other singers, except for Mary J. She'll blow Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson out the water. The only thing is that these youngsters ain't trying to hear Whitney Houston. Besides, how can you invest in someone who is probably a crackhead?

i am old enough to remember what she used to sound like but honestly i haven't heard her voice in years. i wish she would never have fallen off. she could have been what kids would have written about in the coming years for black history month as one of the most famous black singers of all time. but what will they say when they get to the end of the essay,"then she tried crack and never was seen in the spot light again?" wtf. all of our influential black leaders are gone all we have now are mother f*ckers that think they know whats going on but have no idea.

*sigh*..i miss that Whitney...the memories she gave my family and I..we can only keep praying for her and hope she gets at least..75..80% of the old Whitney back..and RawDawg...ur insane dude..stop trying to be hard and recognize the legend she was/is

I like me some whitney I think she is one of the greatest or best singers out their no I don't think mary can out sing her but I DO LIKE MARY.
But whitney is the best so I do think that whitney can and will make a huge come back every body make mistakes in their life it's called live and learn
HATERS.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE.....
GOD GIVETH AND GOD TAKETH AWAY!!!!!!
COME TO GOD WHITNEY. THE DEVIL HAS SHOWN YOU HE IS A LIAR!!!!!! YOU ARE A MESS RIGHT NOW AND THE LAST THING YOU NEED IS THE RECORDING STUDIO!!!!!! LIVE FOR WHITNEY.. NOT THE MUSIC.......

i hope whitney put that shit down and start back singing. I used to have a big crush on her until she married bobby clown. Its a shame that she is wasting God's gift to her. BITCH GET OFF THE CRACK, LEAVE THE GUNS AND KNIVES AT HOME. If you want to suck on something, I am pretty sure you can get that besides that glass dick.

If you've never heard Whitney hit the high note live, you must be a young'n. My girl used to hit ALL the high notes, middle and low notes. Y'all remember? We used to not be able to wait until Whitney came on TV live. She would always start and end ALL the award shows. Y'all remember? Cuz you would KNOW she would give a show an blow everybody out of the water. There was a time, man, there was a time...

I don't need her to hit those high notes any more; I just hope this comeback displays the good, honest, emotional, deep interpretations we know she is capable of...

Man please. Whitney houston is the greatest singer period...even cracked out whitney sounds better than 80...no, 98% of the broads on the radio today.

A queen. Always and for ever a queen.
Im writing from France and i know that even in Africa we love that queen. All over the world. And God LOVES HER TOO.

Man You all need to stop! Yeah Whitney is a crack head that destroyed Bobby's carrer! But she can make a come back crack out and all- Clive need to recoupe and if Mariah could do it I am dam sure that Whitney could do it. Hell A cracked out Whitney can sing half these r&b bitches under a table. If Mariah did not have her Juggs, Light skinn and Fat ass. She would be finished- same goes for Beyonce! Black people need to stand be hind their legends> I'll admit one thing though She should not have been seen on Bobby's show, It just reaffirmed for many that she is not all that classy as she was originally made out to be! I always knew she had some ghetto in her, She is more gully than Bobby! They both are still talented and opened many doors for acts today! White folks always stand behind their talent if if they are drug attics and homo or what ever- ie.Rolling stones, Elton John and beatles!

Well mabe we could get that DMX and Whitney ablum

First of all everybody needs to stop hating on Whitney and pray for her, everybody knows that she is the queen of r&b. She can sing and yes she has hit the "I will always love you" note live. She may be going through some stuff and peole think her "image" is bad. But she is going to make a great comeback. People thought Mariah Carey was crazy, look what she did! So you KNOW Whitney is going to do something amazing. Even on whitney's worst day she still sounds better than all these wannabe r&b singers. If she comes out with anything like "my love is your love", she will be back on top. Whitney Houston is the greatest singer of all time (not counting aretha!! lol) and i love her , and i honestly can say i am one of her #1 fans!

Whitney Houston is the greatest singer to ever live. Her talent is so huge, when she used to sing live it was incredible. Nobody comes close. She's also sold over 170 million records and her movies have grossed well over half a Billion dollars. Also, she hasn't lost her voice, I bought her holiday album released at the end of 2003 and she sounded amazing, very powerful and soulful. I have no doubt that she will be back. Whitney Houston will always be a legend, she has influenced so many singers, in fact on American Idol she's the singer that young people choose to sing most! That saids it all. We miss you Whitney!

Stop hatin on whitney yall...... Give her one more good album with producers like rich harrison, dre & vidal, maybe karmul productions, maybe even scott storch?????? if she did it that way and gave the world herself like mariah & mary = she'd bring the house down!

Whitney is the best female artist, and she BLOWS EVERY OTHER FEMALE ARTIST OUT OF THE WATER.....PERIOD! and she's not limited to just R&B, she's the best female artist across every genre.Her music is classic,timeless, mature,it has soul and depth...and whoever compared Whitney to Mary J....uhh...dont do that again..Mary needs vocal training, because last time I checked screaming and hollering did not equate to knowing how to sing..and who care what you teeny boppers think...WHitney has it and will bring on the next album...first on her agenda is to get rid of her Kevin Federline and take control of her life..Whitney is evidently the star out of her and Bobby....who has the $100 million dollar contract for 5 albums(making 20 million for every album she completes) its not Bobby, who has a production company who produced Princess Diaries 1 and 2, Cinderella, and the Cheetah Girls..its not Bobby, who was the star of Being Bobby Brown..it definitely wasnt Bobby.she needs to drop the dead weight and dont look back...

Whitney should make a comeback I too remember her when she was at her peak and god that girl can sing!!!

She has one of the best voices in the business and always will.

GO WHITNEY BRING IT ON!!! WE HAVE MISSED YOU!!!!

So sorry, but Mariah can sing circles around Whitney, any day of the week. It's okay though, we need to just keep praying for Whitney.

Whitney, "I will always love you"! "i believe in you and me". "When you believe" you'll achieve "miracle".

Let them say! I know "it's not right, but it's gonna be ok". Just go "step by step". I will always, always love you!

Crackhead whitney

I think Whitney should borrow a line from Juelz and call her new album "Back Like Cooked Crack"

Whitey Hutton?

she is the greatest ever. am in africa and no sane radio station can go a day without playing . at worst a week.

Back then Whitney was the truth, now she's done if you tossed some coke and said go fetch on the stage she would chase it without a dout.

I used to love Whitney Houston as a child! Every time I heard one of her songs on the radio, I would sing them! I also loved her in The Preacher's Wife. She did her damn thing. She used to be so pretty and was respected by so many people. I personally don't care for her or her music anymore. After seeing her embarrass herself on TV with Bobby, I lost interest. She's always being made fun of...even by her own people because her and Bobby have made us look bad.

I couldn't imagine seeing her making a comeback. She tried that a few years ago with the single "One of Those Days" and still didn't come back. She was an inspiration to all females, black, latina, white, but now, unfortunately she's known by some, a ghetto crack addict. I would love for the new, improved, and independent Whitney to arrive.

I love me some whitney adn I'm only 16. I must say that she is prob. the best singer I have ever heard. Mariah ain't got Sh*t on her. Whitney was the first and paved the way for singer today. I heard her live in 2004 on TV and she wasn't half bad. Prob 75% of what she was in the early 90s. I believe that with a great vocal coach and some amazing songs she will be abck on top. Go to the following website to see the old whitney hit all the notes to "I Will Always Love You"

Lil' Jon contributed a beautiful song to Heather Headley's album. Maybe he did the same for Mrs. Brown.

I think if Mrs. Houston-Brown can get the right writer and producers to help her as well as some top artist like A. Keys, Legend, and others to appear on the album she can make a good comeback. I think she can strength her voice back she can give all these wanna-be- Whitneys a run for their money. BUT SHE HAS TO STAY CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Many ARtist in the Music Industry, Admitted to Drug Use...

Whitney's Huge talent, and Pride.. and Diva Like style- made it easy for the Media to Rip her down...

Also if she was honest about her drug Use from the very Start, Like Mary J Blige Maybe it wouldn't of hurt her Career, as much as it has.

SHe needs to speak more candiit about her issues, Like other celebrities.

True enough it, isnt anyone's business. But her fans, rather her it from her, than reading it from Newspapers.

SHe need to clean up, and speak up about drug prevention and really take up that up as a chartiy...

Beleive me, if she does that, Nobody would ever Talk Badly about her again.

WIth her fame and wealth, she can change many drug addicted women and men around. SHe just need to realize that, her true gift is changing lives through her Music.

Just like Oprah Discovered, That Putting CHild Molesters in Jail, was something SHe felt very stronger about.

WHitney needs To do some of God's WOrk now, IF she do right by God. GOd will DO right by HEr.

And that goes for anyone, that going through major issues in their Life... Only way to pull yourself out of a hole, is to help Others...

I want those non believers of Whitney to Remember this: She was was there before the Mariahs, the Mary Js, the Beyonces and all of the most recent so called "Divas". It was Whitney Houston who knocked wide open all of the doors for these newer artists. They have talent, no disrespect, but before they became stars I bet they listened to the power and depth of Whitney Houston in there cozy little bed rooms at home with their friends after school. She is the mega star regardless of her faults. She has admitted to her flaws and is making the necessary steps to correcting them. Have you? Or do you find it more interesting to criticize than to compliment? The "lady" named Whitney Houston, is a true singer. Her voice is as it has always been, from the soul. She sings with a power and a conviction that can only be dreamed of by so many. It is apparent when I read some of these posts that most of these people have no idea or no knowledge about the techniques of singing. It requires a great deal of "Control" and energy. If you do it right it can even be painful. So, when she gets a little tired, vocally, that's understood. That means she has given her all.

Remember: She is an artist who has been around since 1985. She has broken the records of Elvis and the Beatles.

Remember, especially my black brothers and sisters, and Make the Connection.

if madonna can do it, whitney can sure come back if she makes a hard effort to.. her voice isn't tat good now, but it still kick ass. whitney, come on, show the world tat u r THE VOICE!

why is everyone putting whitney down she had admit to her mistake and is trying to get her life back in order we all make mistake in our life so what give us a right to judges other? good luck whitney on your new album keep you head up and pray god loves you!!

I had a dream on 3/1/2006, I don't really know Whitney Houston, except for some one her music I've heard before. But the dream was given that a tremendous change was coming into her life, their was a separation or departing of her husband, and her character and personality was restored once again, and she was in the dream speaking to others regarding her life and she was completely restored in a mighty profound way because of the love of the Lord.

Some of the negative comments about Whitney are just plain ignorance. To speak of someone in such a harsh commentary and not know the individual is just a reflection of great ignorance. Whitney set the pace. She set a whole new standard for the female vocalist. Every singer is going to have a down period. From what Ive heard, the cd is near complete. And please.....Lets stop being so stereotypical in linking her addiction to simply a crack pipe. And stop assuming that when she does a bad performance that it is drugs. Emotions, stress, fatigue, poor diet, and lack of focus can all affect the voice. Stop the hype people and give the woman some support. Many have benefited from her existence.

I think that she is one of the best singer that we have ever had. She has just choosen the wrong road at this time. I believe that she still has it in her. I have always loved her music and I will continue too. If she does make a comeback, than I will be one of the ones that is going to buy her cd. People say that Ms. Houston is a no body, but there has been alot of people that are going through the same thing. If you are not in her shoes, then you really don't know what she is gong through. So who are we to say anything about her life and what has become of her. I think that she desevres a chance to have the best comeback that she can. Lets be more helpful and not be like everyone else that just sits around and stereotypes everyone that is not in a good stitution like some of us. May God bless Ms. Houston and her life because right now her life is on a down full, but only God can get her through the problems that she is going through at this time. To Ms. Houston if you do read this e-mial in the bible it says "cast your worries and pains upon me, because they don't belong to you" thats why he dead and shed his blood on that cross so that you could be free and feel like your bound by chains. Love you girl and give it all you can to better your life. Lets pray for Ms. Houston, because we are not the judge of her, there is only one person that can and will do so and thats is not none of us. God Bless very one. Ms.Houston I believe in you.

okay u guys need 2 shut da fuck up she coming out wit new album nd at least she's tryin so leave her alone she iz a good singer nd she might stop the things she's doin u never no....

Most of you people on here saying negative things about mariah and whitney are full of crap and couldn't hold a candle next to whitney and mariah's voices! Some jerk on here stated that mariah does not sing as good as she used to and that is a flat damn lie! Her voice has not changed a bit. Neither has whitney's. Het a life and get a damn grip! Whitney will be back and successful again just wait abd see!

Did I just hear someone say she ruined Bobby's career? Was that a joke? What career? He's a has-been who is only famous as Whitney's husband. While she was singing her ass off in the 90's, he was sitting at home collecting drugs to introduce to Whitney, and you know what happens after that. Unless Bobby Brown kills someone famous, he will always be known as "THE GUY THAT RUINED WHITNEY HOUSTON" nothing more and nothing less.

I think that whitney, mariah and mary is very good singers even though mariah can sing higher notes ( like G#7) whitney has a better teqnique. so its a tie but i wish whitney good luck with the career and i hope she divorses bobby clown.

okay first of all who ever says whitney houston never hit high notes are on crack themselves. she definietly is one of the best talents of all time i don't think she is the best but shes up there, no one can say she isn't. She has more than proved herself in her prime just like mariah carey has although her voice is no were neir what it use to be its still there. SHE WILL MAKE A COMEBACK no doubt she has a legion of fans!!!!
