Yeah Whitney, come on honey, I am ready.

Tracy   July 29th, 2009 2:48 pm ET

Bring it on Whitney – can't wait to se u back on top showing the youngsters that is about the voice and not about shaking ur behind and running around stage half dressed. Be blessed......

Felecia   July 29th, 2009 3:00 pm ET

You showed them once, show them you can do it again. You go girl!

Whitney Houston's Album 'look to You" is on Amazon .com Best sellers list it is at #3 on amazon.com Top music sellers list after Michael Jackson albums.
I predict it will hit #1 by next week. Congrats to Whitney Houston again. I predict it should also debute at 31 on Billboard's Top 200 chart at #1 pretty soon.....

BallyWhooo   July 29th, 2009 4:50 pm ET

Yeah, I'm all about 2nd chances. She's got an amazingly great voice. I'd like to hear more from her.

Big Time   July 29th, 2009 4:51 pm ET

Whitney, you are still one of the best vocalists to have ever walked this earth! You always knew God so I never doubted you would be back. YEAH BABY! GO AHEAD GIRL, GIVE IT TO 'EM!!!

robert washington   July 29th, 2009 5:11 pm ET

hey whitney i love you and i always have you are a great lady and i love you so much...my name is robert and i wish you the best. i use to drive around with your picture on my dash and wish you were my wife...

super d   July 29th, 2009 5:29 pm ET

She is ready to return to her roots, lots of money and a soon to be discovered new drug habit to compliment her ruined life of what could have been during the last 10 years. A bad boob job didn't help things either. You go girl, please do!

divafriendly   July 29th, 2009 5:31 pm ET

She had it all and lost it all and wants it all but can't have it all.

that's all.

habitforming   July 29th, 2009 5:32 pm ET

she was a great voice. was.

bobbieb   July 29th, 2009 5:47 pm ET

i just listened to the title track on her website.

it is amazingly a weak song for a title track.

all the best though.

gihadone   July 29th, 2009 5:51 pm ET

she is moving up the release date, right on the heals the death of michael jackson.
mariah carey and lil wayne have it right, moving their release dates back. not a wise move by clive davis. his time has passed too.

usedtaloveher   July 29th, 2009 6:15 pm ET

I heard one of the new tracks. The very first line is "Akon and Whitney." Why must every artist have a producer featured on every new song? All that this says to me is the music industry is nothing more than a marketing engine. Stick to a formula, and hope some company decides to use the song in a commercial.

Beth   July 29th, 2009 6:37 pm ET

Forget this stinker. I've heard a song and Houston have a five note range, if that. She talked more than warbled and pathetic doesn't describe it. Her years of drug abuse ruined her voice and it's over for her. If you think crack is whack and your voice isn't going to suffer, guess what! Not so! Whitney destroyed her voice and it was her choice.

Carlos   July 29th, 2009 8:24 pm ET

I will not be buying or supporting Ms. Houston. The last two albums were awful and I think she has lost the appeal. Why support someone's drug habit! I'm not!

A. I. Sepulveda   July 29th, 2009 8:24 pm ET

she had a great career but decided to flush it down the toilet, can't blame her ex, she had choices too, but there is something she lost in
the process, hopefully she will spend the rest of her life making it up
to her pricious daughter. Beside trying to get back what she lost when she decided to live a life of drugs.

Karen   July 29th, 2009 8:29 pm ET

Whitney missed you already. I always believed you would be back, and I will buy your CD. Thank you for gracing us all again, with you beautiful voice and style. Lots of luck. K

MikeHunt   July 29th, 2009 10:53 pm ET

It's the much anticipated "Crack is Whack" album!!

igor   July 29th, 2009 11:31 pm ET

eric   July 30th, 2009 2:33 am ET

c   July 30th, 2009 11:41 am ET

if twitney spears can have a comeback, why not whitney. at least whitney has REAL talent..so she may not be able to dance, but she has a real singing talent, and in my opinion that is what matters.. any twit can strut around half naked and rake in sales, sad to say. i hope whitney does real well w/ her comeback, she has the talent and the legit singing talent to do so, she looks like she has cleaned up beautifully..and deserves a 2nd chance.. best of luck whitney.

Marshall   July 31st, 2009 7:47 pm ET

We need Whitney's talent because we have none out there now. These young people are spending money on concerts and CDs to hear garbage. Thank God we got someone back that can sing for real and don't have to hum and yell during the song to make up for the lack of a voice. We need to keep American Idol around so we can get some real singers.

pennyrose11   August 1st, 2009 5:31 pm ET

Alright! Ms Houston, bring it own!! Its about time. I have been waiting soooo long for you to get it together and bring the music back. And don't you worry all of your fans have been standing by waiting in the wings for you. I already know your gonna be bettter than everrrrrr!!!
