What, you don't have "shoop, shoop, shooop" on you iPod?

CHIC0 said:

YO!!! "You Give Good Love (Extended Version)"????? I don't see that on the deluxe edition either!

That's my favorite song of hers and I have not been able to find Whitney Houston's debut (a blessing to some) so it makes sense that a new edition was being released.

I really wish that extended version was on there!!

That's probably why I won't purchase it, if it doesn't have THAT, forget it. lol

Cinnie said:

Don't worry about that. That version is by no means an extended version. At the end of the song they paste another previous part and made it longer.

CHIC0 said:

She looks like she's yawning on the cover of that EP

I know the singles, but never heard the album in full. Isn't it very dull, even though it's supposedly her most celebrated album after Bodyguard by both fans and critics?

LiveToTell86 said:

Almost the whole album was released as a single.

Seriously though, I assume you know these ones:

You Give Good Love
Saving All My Love for You
How Will I Know
Greatest Love of All

The remaining tracks are all pretty good, but I can see how some people would call it a little boring. "All at Once" is a standout and one of her very best power ballads. You can tell Jeffrey Osborne co-wrote it (and I mean that in a good way ). The duets are all good (if unspectacular). "Hold Me" with the late, great Teddy P is sweet. As for the two duets with Jermaine Jackson, I prefer "Take Good Care of My Heart" over "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do," but both are nice. I can see why those two sang together so much. I could've seen them trying an album in the vein of Diana & Marvin, but I guess Whitney quickly grew to big for that.

The debut is still Whitney's strongest album (by far) IMO. There isn't a bad track. I'm Your Baby Tonight would be my runner-up.

I love how orgers have to add "no seriously" to basically any statement of praise towards Whitney now

So, this Tuesday?

Copped it.

I was about to get this today but didn't .

tritoncin said:

The album version is long enough at about 4 and a half minutes.

This DVD is sick!!

tritoncin said:

It also has Clive Davis and Whitney Houston talking about the album in retrospect.

Plus, the DVD has Whitney performing "I Am Changing" at a 1985 Arista party!

Also, "You Give Good Love" from the 1st Annual Soul Train Awards!

AlexdeParis said:

Shit. I love this one. I swear it was a single!

I don't know how much you guys care but I love a good remaster, especially for 80s albums. Finally it bangs like it is supposed to.

Cinnie said:

i love a remastered album; when done right. this one sounds like it was.

CHIC0 said:

i had a little Whit concert in my jeep this evening.

favourites:

My Love Is Your Love
Whitney
Whitney Houston
I'm Your Baby Tonight
I Look to You
Just Whitney

well now that i think of it. i guess i like all her albums about the same. except "My Love...", which is my favourite. i think.. lol.

go cinnie! go cinnie whitney!

AlexdeParis said:

I actually know "All At Once" as well, because it's on The Greatest Hits. I guess I like her voice in the first album singles, but "How Will I Know", I find it so corny and overrated... So you suggest checking out the rest of the album anyway?

Cinnie said:

Hey Vainandy,look! Cinister Cee just bought you a new coaster!

Cinnie said:

OMFG

Cinnie said:

It was a single in Japan and Europe, but radio only here in the U.S. Like I said, almost the whole damn album was a single somewhere. I believe only the Jermaine songs and "Someone for Me" weren't singles.

AlexdeParis said:

I swear I have seen video of Jermaine and Whitney singing together too.

Cinnie said:

I don't believe any of their 3 duets were singles, but I guess there could've been a video. I don't remember one...
