The following link is suppose to be a new song this joker, the incredibly lame R. Kelly, wrote for Whitney Houston. (Video courtesy of youtube.com, picture courtesy of rs.com.) youtube.com also has a song from Whitney Houston and akon if you are interested. Houston supposedly was going to have a new CD released in November, obviously it was never released.

The last release by the incredibly talented Whitney Houston was the greatest hits collection "The Ultimate Collection". That CD was released on December 11th, 2007. In doing research for this blog, this is the first time I have heard of this CD. This was a poorly promoted CD released at the last second to capitalize on the 2007 Christmas season. (Attention record companies when you release CDs you should promote them and then you can get more sales.)
So it looks like there is hope for a new Whitney Houston release, I certainly would welcome her back. She has one of the greatest voices of all-time. Unfortunately along with the great voice and being very attractive, she also has had her share of problems. Also Whitney don't wait 14 years between releases. Her last non-greatest hits, non-Christmas CD was released in 2002. That CD is titled "Just Whitney". You remember that CD don't you, of course not. If you can even name one song off that CD you are a much bigger Whitney fan than I am.
Here is just some of her many great songs: "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?", her stirring, live rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner", "You Give Good Love", "Saving All My Love For You", "The Greatest Love of All", "Didn't We Almost Have It All?", "How Will I Know?", "I Wanna Dance With Somebody Who Loves Me", "One Moment In Time" and the uptempo version of "My Love Is Your Love". (I am purposely leaving out that one song that is her most overplayed song.)
Sticking with the Whitney Houston theme for videos of the day. Some of her videos are pretty lame, but I really like the videos for the following songs: "The Greatest Love Of All", "How Will I Know", "My Name Is Not Susan" and "Try It On My Own". (That last song, video I had never heard of before.)
Other news Shaquille O'Neal missed his 5000th free throw on Christmas Day. He gave a gift to all the Shaq haters, of which there is many. Other music news, have you seen the picture of David Cook on the cover of his new CD? He has been prettied up as much as possible. That picture doesn't represent who he is as a person or an artist. (That opinion is based on watching him on "American Idol".) They make him look like a pretty boy, like he is a member of a boy band. Yes, I say that with great disdain. The terrible management at 19 Entertainment strikes again. A review of this CD is forthcoming.
More "American Idol" news, as you know by now the new season starts January 13th. I am very excited about that, I am also very excited about the new season of "Idolatry". "Idolatry" begins on January 16th at ew.com. For those of you who don't know what that is, that is Michael Slezak and guests offering snarky commentary about "American Idol". Slezak is Entertainment Weekly's resident guru on all things "AI". Speaking of which ew.com has Michael Slezak's list of the Top Ten Worst "AI" performances with the offending evidence (videos) attached. Surprisingly Sanjaya didn't "win" this competition, he only came in second. One more "AI" note. Kristy Lee Cook has been dropped from her record label, Arista Nashville, again. This is the second time she has been dropped from the same label! That is in spite of having a song all over country radio which is a Top 30 song. Also there is a video of that same song on CMT. That song being "15 Minutes of Shame". This is not a bad song.
Well that is it for now, hopefully I will be back some more I have some other videos I want to add. Have a great weekend.
