| Her management team have been heavy hitting to make Ms. Houston's return a huge success. A special group of celebrity friends, on the east and west coast, including her mother, Ms. Cissy Houston and her first cousin, Ms. Dionne Warwick, have attended the "listening party's" for the diva and the word is that Ms. Whitney Houston is back!
However, don't except to hear the voice of her youth. The soprano voice is gone. The new voice is an alto. The long notes are gone as well. But who knows, only time will tell if her vocal power will return.
The cut, "I Look To You" was written by R&B super star, R. Kelly. The CD it self has the best producers and songwriters. Strange that its taken this project over two years to complete with the final total of only 11 songs. If you go to "YouTube", you are able to hear the title of the CD and also the 7th cut, "I Didn't Know My Own Strength", which sounds like a personal testimony and already has been re-mixed for the gay club kids.

The CD cover is breathtaking, as its perfectly beautiful. Every major television talk show wanted to be the first to interview Ms. Houston, but Ms. Oprah won. It was a 2 day interview. Ms. Houston was honest about her drug use and honest about her marriage.
Perhaps the fairytale image that Mr. Clive Davis created for the diva has been replaced with realism. Now the diva can be totally true to herself, personally and professionally.
I'm a huge Whitney Houston fan, from way back when I use to be a regular at her mother's, Ms. Cissy Houston, concerts. Ms. Whitney sang background and would join her mother on the song, "Tomorrow", from the Broadway play, "Annie".
A few years later, Ms. Cissy Houston opened for Mr. B.B. King at the Ritz in NYC. Ms. Whitney opened for her mother and sang Barbra Streisand's song, "Evergreen". The audience was spellbound.

| My friends and I were right up front, we saw the reaction from the crowd. "Who is she?", "Where has she been?" My buddy's and I felt wonderful as we already knew and now the world was about to discover one of the best voice's of the century.
It's been a long time coming and the fans are satisfied with Ms. Nippy's latest project. Bobbie-Kristina, Bobby Brown and Whitney's daughter, who's growing up to be a lovely young lady declared to the world, that she wants to follow her parent's footsteps and become an entertainer.
On the Oprah show, Ms. Houston sang, "I Didn't Know My Own Strength", which was priceless, perfect and vocally she sounded not great but very good. However, her performance in Central Park, left many wondering if she still has it. I say to Ms. Houston, rest the voice, get some professional vocal instructors to re-train her God giving gift. To Ms. Whitney Houston, welcome back!
