    Miss Whitney! She sure is blessed with that voice of hers. Of course, I Will Always Love You was just straight ridiculous! She blew the roof off the sucka with that one & looked totally radiant while doing so.

    I thought about Whitney, but the drug thing ruled her out. We all fall down, but we get up, she just hasn't had time to get upright, yet. But, I'm sure in due time she'll be back on top, or at least clean.

    Miracle is my favorite Whitney song, and my mom's favorite was Greatest Love of All. I have a lot of Whitney favorites, but I definitely thing Miracle trumps them all.

    If I had to choose a singer I wanted to sound like, Whitney is definitely on that list.

    I love "I Want to Dance" that song still gets me on my feet; lol-

    I do love that dance with somebody cut! I started appreciating her as a performer after I saw he one night doing this song on Arsenio Hall. Now one of my favorite Whitney songs! SjP

    Miracle is a heart-tugger! So many women still suffer today for yesterday's decisions. Lord send your healing touch!

    I pray that Whitney will rise once again and share with us her gift of song.

    What a pure beautiful voice. Let's hope and pray she bounce back! Good choice!

    Whitney has such an awesome talent, I hope she can return to that awesomeness in her craft! Even though "I will always love you" was a country song before she sang it, she put that song on the map!!!!

    I first saw Whitney Houston back when she was modeling in 17 Magazine - Yah, I'm that old... Anybuddy else remember her back then? :cool:

    She was absolutely, drop-dead lovely, gorgeous. Had a smoldering beauty that came from a deep, spiritual, soulful place. I had never seen such a pretty girl, ever. At the time, Phoebe Cates was the top model in 17 Mag and when Whitney came in, she just blew Phoebe away.

    So, next thing I know, I'm in high school and here's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and wow, it's Whitney - OMG she can sing, too?? :shock:

    She's an amazing talent and it's been really hard to see her struggle down a rough road. But in a way I'm not surprised cuz showbiz just chews people up, spits 'em out every day.

    She sure did seem deep and sensitive even as a kid, delicate and passionate, all the things that the biz hooks into and puts up for sale. Gotta really be strong for it. I know her Mom and Aunt Dionne really fought hard for her but she was an independent woman from the get-go, a true Diva, does not make anything easier in life.

    Nice to enjoy and appreciate her for the HUGE talent she really is. I'd love to see her make a big comeback and prove every one of her critics wrong. Thanks for the good memories! Bonnie

    Whitney has one of the most beautiful voices out there and despite her run-ins with drugs and alcohol, I am sure she can get out a great tune. All of these songs are loved by my mom, especially 'Miracle' which I remember hearing a lot as a youngster.

    I really hope Whitney can go back to her roots on this new project and bang out some classics like the ones you have posted here.

    I can see Whitney as a choice because of what she has been through. She's fallen WAY down but hopefully she'll get back up. And no one can deny she has(had) one of the greatest voices to ever grace the mic. Let's hope she can make it back.
