The song's a little boring, def, but I actually think she sounds better.

Has more character now and she's forced to reign in the melisma a little bit

nice start in her target format


18 WHITNEY HOUSTON I Look To You Arista/RMG 2009 416 0 416

i wish she would come with something passionate like this.

How I miss these type of songs.

I wish her and Mariah would do some funky music like this.

I think they would be incredible in this.

I heard the song yesterday. At first, I thought it was Brandy but then when I heard her say "I Look To You", I knew it was Whitney. I like the song but echoing most of you, it doesn't sound like Whitney and it's like "Whitney" is gone. I'm still gonna buy it cause I'm curious to hear what the CD sounds like. I hope I like it.

Painful to listen how damaged her voice is.

Arista moved up the album date from September 1 to a date early (August 31) to not miss the Grammy deadline.

I withdraw what I said, The song is boring as hell.

yeah it's a boring song but what do we expect? It was written by R.Kelly

Boring song, but the voice is absolutely busted.

This is already doing well at Urban AC.[/quote]

Oh yeah. That's really going to put her back on top. That song is going to have to go alot further than Urban AC before anyone even cares.

Its kind of songs you like at the begenning then you say what the fuck i have been listening to,you started to get bored with each time you listen to it, thats what happended wuth me its tedious

Want Whitney to do well, and for her voice to heal.

I like it. Im glad its not over the top knock you on your head. I dont hear anything wrong with her voice. Of course its not Where Do Broken Hearts Go power but no shit...she aint in her 20's.

A lot of the power Whitney had when she was younger was just flat-out yelling. When I talk about her voice needing to heal, I'm talking about her tone and texture being totally different. Pardon the pun, but it's sobering to hear the difference in her voice. And, that has nothing to do with her age.

Doesnt`t really sound like whitney....her voice changed....sad....

I heard this in the car and I thought i was going to vomit in the food 4 less parking lot.

i agree.....song is not that great. its has it moments but not a good intro song after all these years. clive davis should have been keen to this.

they need something that is going to hit the ground running, sprouts some legs and leap into the Tep 10 its 1st week at radio.

in any case, its notice to hear from her again. vocally she still has it!

Yeah I agree it's kinda boring but I am glad she's back and I am sure it will be a big hit. Btw she sounds a bit weird in all the new songs I've heard. Kinda rough. And she looks like Tina Turner now. I just don't get it. If you are a very famous artist and u wanna do a plastic operation, why risk it and don't just use Cher's surgeon? he did miracles with her
