Dateline.....Whitney's death

Aretha on CNN

ABC just replayed some of her interview with Diane Sawyer....Crack is Whack comment.....from 2002.

I look to you CD that I mentioned above is #8 on Amazon sales with all her CDs in the top 20 in sales with her greatest hits at 1 with her ultimate hits at #2.

I always feel mixed when this happens. Like, if you enjoyed an artist's work, wouldn't you already have their stuff in your collection? Or is it a sudden surge of nostalgia, or even folks who were unfamiliar with her songs? I'm not a pessimist, but stuff like this lends to my idea that too many people are like sheep and quick to hop onboard with whatever's "hot" at the moment.

Yeah I know what you mean. Her life pretty much mirrored MJ. Whitney was still visible but because of her illness...but her music career was gone. Her last album was unfortunately a complete mess. None of the songs hit the top 40 in the charts and the album only sold 1 million copies. It's a shame it took her death for her music to become relavent again.

I will always love you number 1 on Itunes.....I want to dance with somebody at number 7......Greatest love of all number 9

Her greatest hits now at number 1 on Itunes with the bodyguard soundtrack at number 9.

It only took Bobby Brown a full day to get to his daughter's side.

Oh please..he was performing last night...that says it all.....

What is this I heard of new music?? Was she working on a new album or was about to?

Serioulsy Whitney had many hits yet they are still playing just I will always love you....they need to play them all....I know it was her biggest hit...but...

CNN that is

Alvin likes to be difficult...different...lol...flove u Alvin......but i do agree those songs were overplayed though I still loved them...right now they are overplaying it on CNN..I will always love you....

How could I forget this gem. It was another favorite...just a great duet

Probably the best of the crap soundtrack singles she was releasing in the late 90's was her cover of Annie Lennox's Step By Step:

Whitney and George Michael:

I think Step by Step was her last good hit. Her most recent stuff wasnt very good but i still supported her and bought the cd. I just downloaded all of her oldies on my smartphone even though I have all of her hits on CD. I think I am going to let some time pass and then play all of her greatest hits.

Love Will Save The Day was one of my favorites...

CNN is so stupid...stopping people and telling them that Whitney has passed..ugh

I agree with everything written above.

Here are Houston's eleven #1 hits:

"Saving All My Love for You" (1985, 1 week)

"How Will I Know" (1986, 2 weeks)

"Greatest Love of All" (1986, 3 weeks)

"I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" (1987, 2 weeks)

"Didn't We Almost Have It All" (1987, 2 weeks)

"So Emotional" (1988, 1 week)

"Where Do Broken Hearts Go" (1988, 2 weeks)

"I'm Your Baby Tonight" (1990, 1 week)

"All the Man That I Need" (1991, 2 weeks)

"I Will Always Love You" (1992, 14 weeks) [This song's reign at #1 continued into 1993.]

"Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" (1995, 1 week) [This tune also spent a record 11 weeks at #2.]

All the Man that I need and Exhale were ones I didnt care for but i did purchase the CD because she was Whitney.

The UK/European version is vastly superior to the crap that was released in the US.

That's the version I have the import one. I bought it on Amazon. I did notice the US version wasn't as good as the import one.

Whitney's Greatest Hits CD is already #3 on Itunes.

MJ death was devasting but I think this is more devasting. I still feel this is a bad dream.

CNN is playing "The Greatest Love of All" video and it is so sad watching it.

Yes it is...what a voice she had.

I love this too.

This was her first big hit.

The remixes saved the My Love Is Your Love singles (and album) from being flops, and most of the remixes have outlived the original versions from that album.

The extended version is even better.

I remember the CD not doing to well until all the remixes started coming out....I do own the remix CD Maxi single of It's not right but its okay

At her peak, Whitney wasn't just a singer, or a star, she was a phenomenon. She effortlessly conquered music, movies, and TV (with Cinderella). She dominated the mid 80's to mid 90's. It was quite sad how she became a national joke, and then, an unspoken, bad memory.

There were rumors for years about why she got together with Bobby Brown, and why this was needed for her image. Ultimately this destroyed her.

I don't care how white it may have sounded, I think her first album has some songs which are utter perfection. This is my favorite.

That is what my mom said. Bobby Brown ruined her life. She went downhill once she hooked up with BB.

So they are saying Ray J found her dead in the hotel in LA.

^Angela, did you have to post the bland original R&B version of It's Not Righrt But Its OK? LOL

It's all about the Thunderpuss remix, which made it the dance anthem of summer 1999! LOL

It's one of those rare cases where the remix became more popular than the original version.
