Whitney Houston continues her streak of #1 Dance hits with I Learned From The Best. The H2Q Mixes are great and they have already spent two weeks at #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart. Any fan of Whitney or of Dance music must have this Maxi Single.

If you thought It's Not Right But It's Okay, Heartbreak Hotel, and My Love Is Your Love were fantastic, just wait until you hear the remixes for I Learned From The Best. They are fantastic, especially the HQ2 mixes and the Jr. Vasquez Disco Mixes. Hex Hector and Mac Quayle really go all out with their mixes. They turn the song into an exhilarating anthem which will have you dancing from beginning to end. Junior Vasquez's Disco mixes show Whitney at her sassiest, with a danceable beat that will have you on your feet in no time. Junior's USA Millenium Mix evens adds a portion from Step By Step. She even recorded all new vocals for the remixes for this song. With this and her previous 3 maxi's, she has proven that she rules the dance charts as well as the pop and R&B charts. A no-brainer for those who enjoy great dance music!

"I Learned From The Best" was the fourth and final single from her "My Love Is Your Love" LP. This track was transformed from a rather uninspiring ballad to big-time club anthem thanks to a series of stunning remixes.

My favorite on here in the HQ2 (Hex Hector/Mac Quayle) Club Mix. Of all their amazing remixes, this is one of the best (if not the best) mixes to come from the HQ2 camp. It blew away the dance floors in early 2000 and is now considered a classic among DJs. With Whitney's powerful vocals, tribal drums, and even breathing sounds, the mix just pounds away for 9 minutes with an amazing amount of energy. The production values are top notch, and the break in the middle is one of the best I've ever heard.

A close second is the Jr. Vasquez Disco Club Mix which is excatly the way it sounds - retro, disco, campy, over the top. Whitney actually re-sang her vocals in the studio for this mix. They seem more raw and stripped down which fits the mix perfectly. The Disco mix got lots of club play too and stands out as one of the best mixes Jr. Vasquez ever put out.

The other club mix (Jr. Vasquez USA Millenium Mix) is also good but just doesn't measure up IMO. The album version is a dull throwaway, but it makes you appreciate just how incredible these remixes really are.

"I Learned From The Best" spent 3 weeks at #1 on Billboard's Dance/Club Chart and became Whitney's fourth #1 in a row.
