Whitney Houston's forthcoming album "I Look To You" is being met with much anticipation but, the effort is also met with hopes that Houston will receive her just do and mount a stellar comeback.
Unleashing two records at radio recently, Houston's return has been made official with one of the songs ("I Look To You") making its way up Billboard's Hot 100. Fans around the world are pre-ordering the album or making plans to hit record stores on Monday, August 31 to support the diva. But, after a seven year break, some might ask what makes Whitney Houston relevant ?
Def Jam recording star Chrisette Michele says it's all about Houston's class, consistency and voice.
"Of course everyone loves “I Will Always Love You” and “The Preachers Wife”. The way that she was so consistent with her style; year after year after year …everything was always classy and well put together," Michele told Singersroom when asked about Houston's career.
"When she came back at the Grammys… she still looks like Whitney Houston with an element of class that is totally missing from the industry right now. She’s always been a lady and I appreciate that about her."
Comedian Loni Love is also looking forward to Houston's return.
"I’m
eager to hear her comeback. She’s missed out on a lot. There just aren’t a lot
of people out there that are real singers anymore," Love tells Singersroom in a recent feature.
"You
know, when you see somebody sing the way she sung “I Will Always Love You,” you
say “oh my goodness, she’s just classy and she’s great.
We want the old Whitney back. That’s why we’re rooting for
her. We want to see that comeback."
With just days to go, Houston's new album "I Look To You" appears to be poised for success.
"I Look To You" arrives in stores and at digital retailers Monday, August 31.

1st i'd like to say that I really like Whitneys new album all the songs are easy listening. I would also like to comment on Omaha Readers remarks. "people who has used or who are on drugs need to be in jail" UNBELIEVABLE it's amazing that people can be so ignorant. Everyone has something that they go through even those in a spotlight. Why don't you retire as a fan and allow Whitney to live on with those who support her and love her. Whitney will continue to make music and live in her LEGACY when she decides to retire.
So much talent. In addition to that she has now become an inspiration for all those who are down and feel they can't get back up. I support and encourage her for all the music she has given the world and for having the strength to stand back up.
This album will be a disappointment. Whitney Houston needs to retire. She can't even sing high notes anymore. Her voice is all messed up because all the drugs she did in years. I don't like to support people who do/did drugs. They need to be in jail. Again, she needs to retire and focus on her daughter. It's time for a younger and better star!...
this is very important for this industry she brings back a standard that was missing for to long......her 7 years gone maxwells 7 years ....now we can get back to the art of music....now it can be about your class and not your ass in the game...everything has its place but we should never be without balance
I really can't wait to get her album on monday and I can't wait to see her and out and about. I am so glad that she is healthy and that she looks great. Can't wait to see her video.
I agree with what you,said about love.its realy true.
