I am a HUGE fan of Whitney but honestly...her voice is gone. The songs are not that great and I am Grandly disappointed. I will sit this one out and wait for her next CD. As one person said it honestly" Her range is gone" and as a vocal coach I believe she is done. If you listen close enough her voice is shaky and in several spots she flat. She needs to go back to acting that she probably can still do. And to all that keep saying it was Bobby! Whitney said it! It was her who chose to do crack Boby had nothing to do with it. After all she is a big Girl. People get me wanting to blame somebody!

she stil has it,it is true that talent last forever especially when acknowleged and used in the manner that it was inted to,This woman's voice has a soothing and relieve sense that it brings to once heart and mind,either just her voice or the lyrics that she sings about. Tank you,You have shown that we all can!

Thank God Whitney is back! Trust me, her worst is better than some folks best. I have been anticipating her return. As far as her range, at least hers is for real, too many artist today wish they could sing as well as she does. Just a pure vocalist, who brings out the best in any words given to her! God bless her and my prayers is that she continues to keep her eyes on the prize and "look to you!"

Is that Whitney? Her amazing range is gone. Maybe I will get used to her new voice, but I will not be purchasing her new CD.

Thanks alot Bobby for fucking up her voice. Her voice was better before you introduced her to the crack pipe.

It's just sad because Whitney was known for her range. So to say not to look for that when you hear her sing is crazy. That is what they draw has been for her entire career. Maybe once she gets used to her new range she will get better. It's just sad to hear a Whitney Houston song and not here the voice. That's all.

Wow I never new anything about whitney houston until yesterday because her new song I didn't know my own strength was played on the radio and it was so good

Finally, the long awaited comeback is near. Here's hoping that Whitney's comeback and the very talented vocals of JHud will get rid of the tired, overrated, over exposed Bouncy aka Beyonce.

I am so happy that she is making a comeback. Here's hoping that Whitney and Jennifer's fabulous voices will force tired ass, over rated, average talent Bouncy aka Beyonce to take an indefinite long needed break.

Go Whitney!

I heard that this was recorded in February, and that she had to re-record her songs because her voice got much much better!! The song is good, but it is clear that it's not the final mix/version!!!

I hope this isn't the final verison of the Whitney song. it is weak. No longer queen of pop.

Y--A--W--N! Is this what we've been waiting for? I almost fell asleep listening. She could do so much better. At least her voice still sounds ok.

I agree. Man she just has something in her voice that is pure magic. So glad she went the adult classy route. Looking forward to her new CD.

She sounds great! Love that voice of hers! Classy song. Great and unexpected way to come back. proud of her on so many levels.

If people don't like Whitney's voice anymore, stay away. But don't expect from her not to change. She's gotten older, gone through a lot, her voice has changed but her musicality and her beautiful timbre haven't gone. I love the song!
posted by LISA on Jul 03, 2009
She still has it. In spades. It's amazing that people equate high notes with good singing. Gladys Knight has no range at all and she can sing. We all know Whitney can hit the high notes. She doesn't have to do it in every song. This is a great performance from her.
posted by Atlas on Jul 03, 2009
Wow. Didn't expect such a smooth laid back song from her. I love it and keep coming back to it. It is definitely her that is the draw here. That voice is still incredible and snow has some depth to it.
