One of Whitney's best, January 15, 2004
This review is from: My Love Is Your Love / It's Not Right But (Audio CD)
Whitney Houston's "My Love Is Your Love" was a massive single worldwide, a dance floor stomper in the summer of 1999 that became a radio anthem for New Years 2000.
All of the mixes on the single and the original version are great in their own right. The Jonathan Peters' mix is the best known: this is the best produced, most far-reaching and commercially successful mix he's ever released by a long shot. It's a full 13 minute club anthem with dub parts, Whitney's full vocals, drop-outs, and synths. It's very Euro, hi-NRG sounding at 137 BPM. This mix was so successful that the edited version is what later became a radio hit worldwide.
The Thunderpuss mix is also excellent - not as good as their mix of "It's Not Right But It's Okay", but still very good. Wyclef's mix and the original version are superb R&B mixes that got lots of airplay too.
This song was remarkable in its crossover success: #1 on the Dance/Club Chart (Aug '99), #2 on the R&B chart, and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Dec '99). The single went platinum in the U.S., and in fact, was one of the last singles ever to do so. MLIYL was also a chart topper in several countries in Asia and Europe.
When I think of Whitney Houston's "My Love Is Your Love" it makes me wonder what has happened to U.S. radio, the commercial single, and Whitney herself in just 4 short years?

Whitney, thank you for your love, June 21, 2002
This review is from: My Love Is Your Love / It's Not Right But (Audio CD)
This is the third straight maxi single from Whitney's "My Love Is Your Love" album that was top notch. The Wyclef mix is awesome, it allows Whitney the change to cut loose and sing, and no one does it better. The Thunderpuss 2000 is good. And yes, the Johnathan Peter's remixes of My Love Is Your Love are all great, this is the one everyone heard on the radio during the summer of 2000. I give Arista credit for doing a great job. Everyone go out and buy this single.

That Is Love, June 21, 2006
This review is from: My Love Is Your Love / It's Not Right But (Audio CD)
In my opinion, a good song can be catchy, and just have a great sense of soul. FOr somebody like Whitney Houston, she is still one of those acts who has made some of the best soul records today. Yet, it is sad she hasn't released anything new in awhile. Her 1998 single, My Love Is Your Love is a very upbeat and soulful R&B soong. The song is just universal and delightful to all kinds of people who enjoy all different types of great music. I think this still remains as one of her best songs ever, and that still is love. Hopefully, if she comes back she can do another good song like this one.
Song: A
