  Whitney (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whitney is the second album by American RandB singer Whitney Houston, released in 1987 (see 1987 in music).
The album became the first album by a female artist ever to debut at #1, and produced a then-record-equalling 4 #1 singles from one album (though this was broken by Michael Jackson in 1988).
The album still holds the record for a female with the most #1 songs from one album (though tied with Paula Abdul's 1989 debut Forever Your Girl, Janet Jackson's 1989 album Rhythm Nation 1814 and Mariah Carey's 1990 debut album).

 Whitney Houston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whitney's mother (Cissy Houston), first cousin (Dionne Warwick) and Godmother (Aretha Franklin) were all established Gospel/RandB/Soul singers, which caused her to always be around the presence of music while she was growing up.
Released in June of 1987, Whitney was an immediate hit, as it became the first album by a female artist to ever debut at number one in the U.S. and U.K. The first single, "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" (originally titled "I'm Gonna Dance With Somebody" at her 1986 tour) shot straight to number one.
Whitney spent the whole summer of 2005 working hard on her new album (which currently does not have a title).

The single was Whitney's first step away from the "tame" sound of love ballads into something more raw and gritty, and although she has never left the romantic songs behind, she has gone on to spread her wings wider and wider.
The tour was once again "in the round", and Whitney was led through the crowd to the stage to begin the set with a rousing 'Didn't We Almost Have It All', usually dressed in a long, plain coat, which she then removed to reveal a fl silk halter to and knee-length pink satin skirt.
Whitney Houston, normally wary of involvement with political issues, was crucially important to the credibility of the venture, as a representative of America's major fl talent.

 Whitney Houston : Just Whitney - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
She retreated from the spotlight and as she cancelled concerts, scrapped albums, and pulled out of public appearances, rumors swirled that she and husband Bobby Brown were dangerously addicted to drugs.
As her trainwreck interview with Diane Sawyer on PrimeTime Live the week prior to Just Whitney's release proved, she's arrogantly defensive about her "bad habits" and is "Unashamed" of "the life that [she] leads," as she sings on the eighth song on this odd, disarmingly brief (under 40 minutes) self-styled comeback album.
Certainly, Whitney is in better voice than rival diva Mariah Carey (whose near simultaneously released Charmbracelet found her voice in tatters) and she's fortunate enough to have Babyface for four productions, three of which are among the highlights of the album.

 Ralphy's CD Reviews: Whitney Houston - CD My love is your love
I would rather have heard Whitney sing her version of the original song than this travesty (maybe my dislike for hiphop is influencing my judgment a bit here).
Another cooperation is the song "Heartbreak hotel" (which has nothing to do with Elvis's song) on which Whitney seems to fullfill a wish of being in a girl singing group like the Spice Girls by teaming up with Faith Evans and Kelly Price.
They pull it off OK and their voices work together nicely on this song (although I'm not a big fan of Faith Evans since the terrible "I'll be missing you"; Kelly Price I've never heard of).

Whitney is a beautiful name, so it's quite understandable why they used it as the title of the album.
Iknow, I know… but you can't really blame her when you consider it was 1987 and she really needed a video for "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." It's a great song and a very… colourful video.
Perhaps someday she will record another happy-sounding album with a happy-looking Whitney on the cover.

I own "Janet" also, and although I do love the singles from the album, and the bad-ass videos she made for them ("You Want This" was especially awesome), that's all I listen to off the album...the singles, plus, "Where Are You Now" (a gorgeous song).
I have not bought a Whitney album since her first (Not counting "Waiting to Exhale" soundtrack -- I bought that for the Brandy cut and the Babyface factor) but I have heard everyone of her other albums and I have never been able to stay interested throughout the whole any of them.
Whitney will always be the fave of the AC set, Mariah will probably end up most successful in an increasingly more R&B direction, and that will leave Madonna and Janet floundering about - the usual repercussion for any artist that has the nerve to not be pinned down to any genre.
