whitney houston's comeback single has made it's way to the internet and, well, it's pretty weak. the song, in the video above, is a ballad (obvi), but there's no kick to it or whitney-izing (think "i will always love you"). it sounds like a mary j blige reject, really. i'm all for an r&b style career for whitney - the day of the 90s crazy singing chops diva has gone far, far away - but the song needs to be catchy at least. this isn't an "official" release, so maybe this is just something they were playing around with in the studio...and hopefully so. if whitney's coming back, she needs to comeback in a big - and i mean big - way. songs like "i wanna dance with somebody" could be played today, with a little updating, so why not do something like that? the 80s are back, right? i know whitney isn't a fresh-faced 20something anymore, but that's what people remember her for. that and this crazy being bobby brown moment. if her singing career fails to take off again, i wouldn't mind seeing batshit crazy whitney again.
