WHITNEY HOUSTON EYES COMEBACK
R+B star WHITNEY HOUSTON is planning a spectacular comeback with an album of new material in early 2007. The singer - who last week (begs11SEP06) split from husband BOBBY BROWN - has endured a torrid time since her last LP, ONE WISH: THE HOLIDAY ALBUM, hit stores in 2003. She and Brown have both battled drug addiction and spent time in rehab. But Houston is conspiring with music mogul CLIVE DAVIS to make a comeback, and may even perform live at Davis' famous Grammy Awards party next year (07). Davis tells PageSix.com, "We are reviewing material right now. It is too early to say if Whitney is going to perform, but I would hope she would be in the running. "She looks radiant and is clearly together. "She is talking enthusiastically and is articulate. We are going to make a great album. In my opinion, the best singers in the world are ARETHA (FRANKLIN) and Whitney. That's not to knock MARIAH (CAREY). Mariah is a friend of mine, but I think Mariah would even say those two are the best."

Er, first of all, who do you think introduced Whitney to her good friend
crack?!?
And second, this is "not to knock" the legend that is Mr Davis; but whilst I
think Mariah always has, and will continue to be genuinely respectful to her
peers and influences, I very much doubt that she would agree Whitney has a
better voice than her.
I've always been a Whitney-fan, even during her drug-induced glory days, but
she is all about the grandiose. With her you always know what type of record
you are buying. That is not something that can be said for Mariah, because she
writes her songs with the most simplistic vocal arrangements in mind so that
she can add "textures and colours" later on.
That is not an avenue available to Whitney because she does not write her own
material. Lord knows if anyone has enough material to draw from, it's her, and
maybe that is something we will see in said new material, but as far as
capability goes, with all due respect, Ms. Whitney can't hold a candle to her,
I'm sorry. They can duel, but there's only one real winner - she is already
divorced; and currently has the 7th best grossing North American tour of 2006.
That said I do hope she is well enough for Clive's annual Grammy party; I think
she'll have herself a nice, warm welcome.
WHITNEYS PROBLEM IS NOT BOBBY BROWN, IT IS WHITNEY HOUSTON AND HER FRIEND
CRACK!!!!!!!!
