That's the alleged release date, but who knows? Her album has been delayed so many times over the past three years it's hard to take anything seriously.

Her albums have generally sucked anyway. She is not an albums artist. I don't think she's ever had one consistently good album.

And yes, she's another one who voice has good to hell, but in this case it was somewhat preventable. All those years of excessive drug use has really killed her once angelic voice.

I wouldn't really say that. Outside of her cheesey and overplayed rendition of "I Will Always Love You," her biggest successes have come from her few studio albums singles wise. Let's not forget that she holds the record for most consecutive #1 hits with 7 in the US, from her debut and sophomore albums.

I actually cannot wait for this to drop!

Listened to her Greatest Hits the other day. The songs are more resonent than I remembered. I used to dismiss her as generic but not anymore. WH is a stand-out and Clive Davis is fully behind her comeback, so I have high hopes.

I know. Blasphemer! But that saccharine, tinkly piano in Greatest Love of All just made me assume that Whitney was manufactured 100%-approved-by-moms music. I quickly got schooled, though. Recently, listening to TGLOA, it hit me how strong a song it is. In fact, Whitney was an empowering singer for a little girl (which I was at the time). Nowadays we just get a bunch of pop tartlets writhing all over the floor, begging some frat boy give 'em more. Whitney expected the best and she delivered the best.

I still believe (if there are miracles!) that this will be a mega-comeback for Houston. I think there is enough beautiful voice left to carry that comeback.

Well, not really a blasphemer. :P I mean, I was surprised because I expected you to like her, you seemed like a Whitney type. But that was a complete delusion, it seems.

It's OK for people to find her generic and artificial, but I don't know why I didn't expect you to be one of them. :)

    • I was wondering about Liam wearing that hat for such a long time, as it was supposed to be covering up his surgery wound, but he wouldn't need a hat for this long a period of time. Then I noticed everyone's wardrobe is the same, too, and realized that it's been the same "Forrester/Logan day" for two weeks of episodes. I guess he just got out of the hospital and all these episodes are discussing what happened?
    • I would have to say FD was the luckiest man in daytime who stayed way past any reason for him to be there, but yes, totally agree that Alan should have died at that point, which would have spared us more years on mustache twirling bombasity.   I know it was a big get to bring Joan Collins on, and I loved her Alex, but it would have been great at that point if they had just brought Amanda back. Phillip is named by Alan and Alex as the successor or head of family and head of the corporation, with the board and investors approval. Amanda (who is back to being Alan's daughter, it was one last "screw you" from Brandon to try to get Alan and Alex at each others throats) gets pissed and comes back to stake her claim and be a thorn in everyone's side. Meanwhile Liv is suddenly REALLY interested in Phillip as he will have a longer self life then Alan. Things unfold much as they did with Amanda coming back to thwart Liv as Alex did..and when the truth comes out Alan really does have a heart attack and kicks (for real, for good, no fake outs, no returns, he's dead..dead.) and then AM comes back (as Taggert originally planned before Weston came to stink up the place.) to make his claim also. Phillip' guilt over Alan's death and having no final reconciliation ( On his death bed Alan could say, "I am proud of you son, you have finally become a real Spaulding," right before he kicks. ) I also agree that Phillip was not always likable, which really I give GA credit for being brave enough to make him that way, which is exactly how Phillip should be.   Ed and Chelle were there, but she ran off the plane to chase J...(I kid you not, that is why we started calling her Slutchelle) and Ed ran after her. The reason they, and no one else was at the wedding was obviously to save money, so it would have made more sense to have it on an existing set then that dumb Universal Studios thing.
    • They probably threw in Rick because he's AM's cousin, Michelle should've been there too. I don't remember if Ed was still on the show at this point 
    • In the 2nd semi-final, I enjoyed Denmark and Luxembourg (plus France) the most. I was also positively surprised by Germany's performance, because usually our performances are ... well, lackluster, to put it nicely. The one country I did not expect to qualify was Armenia, but yeah, the staging probably helped a lot, because the song itself is just noise in my ears. I thought Serbia would make it instead. None of the Ex-Yugo countries made it to the Grand Final (first time since 2013), while all the Nordics and Baltics qualified. Recap of the 2nd semi-final:

    • I don't think they were prepared for Sherry Mathis to exit. I think the scripts were written well in advance and they didn't expect her to go. Louanne was on the very next episode and a terrible recast.  Erwin Nicholson made the same mistake in casting with Nicole on Edge but they gave the character some weeks or months rest before they brought in Jayne Bentzen, I believe.  As I stated above, in rewatching these posted episodes, I am making a guess that Mayer/Braxton wrote many weeks in advance because of the Spring 85 writers' strike.  While the strike lasted only two weeks, SFT is the only P&G soap that had writer credits through the two weeks of air shows that included the strike weeks. I also am guessing that Mayer was signed to a six month minimum (soaps typically have actors and writers on 13 week contracts) and Mayer was fired exactly at 26 weeks from the day his material first started airing.  He was a disaster for the show and Erwin was tired and not what the show needed although scoring Lambie as Lloyd was his top achievement (he lasted a little less than 1 year).

    • I think Steve and Shawn track down Kevin and Jeffrey gives them one dose on the sly in exchange for keeping it quiet. John's organs will go to Bo. We know he's not really coming home. Xander won't make the board meeting so EJ will get the hospital by default. And Kate will tell Xander that Sarah lied to him precisely because she feared he would do something like this to Philip  Those are my Friday predictions! Was a good show. I felt Philip's fear in that last scene.
