Whitney Houston

[Cowboystyle]

Currently obsessed with this anthem! Easily one of her finest ever moments of so many for me.

Her best song!

I remember it being something like 2am in a club and the DJ announced it. I'll always vividly remember a clear divide between the 18 year olds who were less familiar with her and therefore a bit bemused, whereas the 30somethings were in bits.

Yep. I was working nightshift that night as a student nurse and my friends texted me around that time to tell me, I was shellshocked. I was 33 at the time and had grown up on Whitney.

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Been on such a Whitney binge over the past week. Truly a much missed voice but will be treasured for always.

The debut is being reissued again, on vinyl atleast anyway.

I don’t understand why they don’t reissue her full discography? They’re basically throwing away money by not doing so….

Just give us Whitney godammit!

I'm not opposed to a gospel collection but I can't imagine the tracklisting is going to be very exciting or anything rare. And I'm only interested in a live collection if it's never-before-released concerts.

I think a 35th anniversary of Whitney is the way to go.

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Whitney 35, just seems so logical to me.

 

[enhanced CD]

I just noticed that the My Love Is Your Love vinyl has a different running order - was it done to fit the songs evenly on all sides or was it the original tracklist?

 

[Deleted member 33299]

One of those albums that should be reissue/repress soon!

The 1998 edition with that generic Windows font and the tracklist changed it's disappointed

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Never been keen the My Love Is Your Love font/artwork must admit. It does however, look better without the title all over it.

 

[bonnieetclyde]

Yeah, the CD never had the title over it so it looks somewhat odd. prefer it without but that's probably just what I was used to.

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

I say.... Hope this will be good, looking forward to it!!

I know it's one of her biggest hits, but that's such a strange title for a Whitney picture. She was never known as a dancer. It should be called The Voice, or at least I Will Always Love You, if they were going to go the basic GP-pandering route.

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Hope they do justice for Whitney and her musical legacy. Bohemian Rhapsody, was fantastic in my view, so fingers crossed for the same.

Yes, not a sensible name for the project at all.

 

[nostalgiakills]

The problem is that the makers will be thinking, "well, Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody used a song title, so we'd better had too". Unfortunately, using the title of any of her love songs will just make punters think, "crack".

 

[Eric Generic]

It's Not Right, But It's Okay.

(That would cover the plotlines and dramatic liberties of the Queen and Elton films too!).

 

[Laurent]

I really hope the movie turns out well but considering how heavily the estate was involved I wonder if they were allowed to go into the nitty gritty parts of her life (such as how her family’s - and because of that her own - refusal to accept her sexuality negatively impacted her life). I’m really not here for any Bohemian Rhapsody style erasure.

 

[phoenix123]

Should have been called Didn’t We Almost Have It All.

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

The song title choice doesn't bother me must admit. Guess they wanted to go with something instantly recognisable. Do like your choice there though @phoenix123 ,alas very appropriate.

 

[torontodj]

With Pat Houston involved it will be messy and I am not sure how they can even do a Bohemian-style film where they end it on a high note. Even her last huge era, My Love is Your Love, was plagued with issues.

I don't mind the song title either since it recalls a time when the whole world fell in love with Whitney, and it is an upbeat song.
