5.0 out of 5 stars Simply, Looking To Whitney, August 4, 2009

There honestly has been no doubt that there have been a real lack of songs that really have hit the nail on the head this year. But, that also has been deeply said with the kinds of ballads we've heard from the wannabe divas like Rihanna's Take A Bow and Battlefield by Jordin Sparks, that sincerely have felt like they were all hype, and especially little to no heart. But, with all the hype around the comeback around Whitney Houston, she had to not only to deliver, but to re-introduce herself to a whole new generation. That absolutely worked with the title track of her upcoming album I Look To You. The song really showcases the simplicity and sheer elegance of Whitney's voice beautifully and with deep soul in the simplicity of her voice carrying the melody in fine harmony. The song is absolutely the best song so far I've heard released this year. I just couldn't stop shedding tears of absolute joy. I Look To You, by Whitney, really touches you in the heart, and with the way the world has been going lately with the death of Michael Jackson, it is the kind of song we need to hear right now. It definitely ranks that high with her best standards like I Will Always Love You.

With all the joking people have made fun of with Whitney the past several years because of her personal problems, all the way to her marriage to Bobby Brown ending, it has been quite easy to forget how soulful, beautiful and influential Whitney Houston has been. I'm so glad Whitney didn't throw in the towel and retire. This is really one song I absolutely recommend as a must have for your MP3 library. It definitely will tide you over, until I Look To You comes out next month. We'll definitely hope for more from Whitney Houston soon.

Song: A+

As someone who grew up listening to Whitney I am so happy that she has found peace and is releasing fantastic music again. She has always been one of my very favorite entertainers because of her kindness and beauty, not to mention her unprecedented talent. Let us not forget that she was the very first female singer who had a string of number one hits consecutively and who also had the most successful soundtrack in the entire history of American music. That should count for a lot, at least in my book it does.

On her newest song, "I Look To You" she does not disappoint. Whitney is beauteous and everlasting and strong and dignified. It's just such a glorious ballad that will cheer you up if you're feeling a little down.

When I listen to this song it reminds of so many things. It's a reminder of second chances. It's a reminder of not judging others. It's a reminder of showing others compassion and love and respect. It's a reminder that talent comes in all shapes and sizes and colors. It reminds me to be thankful for what you have; not envious of what you don't. It's a reminder that we should never count someone out because faith will always prevail.

"I Look To You" is almost like a gospel song or a song you would expect to hear at church because it's so peaceful and tranquil and has such a fine message. It's a fantastic song to reintroduce Whitney and bridge that elusive gap of both the old and the new material with a preview of what's to come.

I have a lot of respect for Mr. Clive Davis for having the integrity to stand with Whitney all of these years. Of course she made him a lot of money and brought his company tremendous riches, but he could have thrown her to the wolves, yet he didn't. Like this song, he had faith in her. It is unfortunate that more people in "show business" do not have even one ounce of integrity that Mr. Davis has.

Like Whitney has for so many years, this song has touched me and I hope it will touch you as well. Whitney is the woman that she is meant to be.

Yes, she is back and Clive Davis is a genius with music and CD's. But this CD is average. Once she was the best. I am sorry those days might be gone, but today many female artists are putting out music that is better and with Mr. Davis helping, that must mean it is the singer. Buy it if she is your hero; this isn't bad, it just isn't Whitney of old.
