I have been a long-standing fan of Mr.s Whitney for years now, and for great reason. She is one of the greatset POP/R&B singers on the market. Her work is always origional, though she may not write any of it, she does choose songs that focus on her voice rather than the image or the appeal. This si exactly what this album does. There are some beat heavey groves on this disc, and with Whitney's beautiful, full voice we get the whole package. 'It's Not Right But It's Okay' already a single of the past (I think No.4 on the charts) is a great up-tempo song, filled with wonderful harmony and lyrics. 'When You Believe' her duet with my fav. Mariah Carey, is a great song that should have been bigger than it was. Because it wasn't /mainstream' pop it didn't get its play time, which is strange 'cause between the two of these diva's (I hate that word!) they have had 25 No.1 hits and 91 weeks at No.1. Go figure? The title track and 'If I Told You That' both shine as does 'In My Buisiness' with Missy Elliot. The ballad 'I Learned From The Best' shows Whitney in top vocal form, and one can feel the music rather than just hear it. There are only a few artists out there who go to another level when singing (Michael Jackson being one, and possibly Celine or Mariah) and they take you with them. Great song. 'Oh Yesy' had suggestive lyrics, but you know what, it shines too! 'Until You Come Back' is a great love-huts balld, as is 'I Bow Out'. This whole damn CD is great, from start to finish, you don't get that very often. I listen to every song on this labum, they never get boring, repetitive or repulsive. Their great! She's done it again! Like on 'The Bodygurad' or 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' or 'Whitney Houston' this one shines fuller and brighter than even those did. Great CD! Five out of Five.

After enduring years of listening to the same predictable material from Whitney, she managed to surprise me with the release of My Love Is Your Love. The album is full of surprises, she was able to do different musical genres and still sound incredible! She has a more hip, R&B/hip-hop sound to this album, and the catchy, R&B/hip-hop tracks like "If I Told You That", "In My Business" and "Get It Back" are great beat-driven tracks, but the beat doesn't overshadow her incredible voice. She also has a great deal of raggae influence on the title track, which is one of my favorite songs on the album. The too-hyped duet with Mariah Carey didn't impress me, that has got to be the weakest point on this album. There are some R-Kelly-style R&B jams as well like the hit "Heartbreak Hotel" with Faith Evans and Kelly Price, and the Missy Elliot-produced "Oh Yes"---my favorite track on the album, her voice sounds rich and crystal clear on that song. For vintage Whitney fans, there are still those powerhouse ballads like "Until You Come Back" that sounds similar to "I Have Nothing", the touching "You'll Never Stand Alone", "I Bow Out" and the incredible "I Learned from the Best"---her new single. This album doesn't alienate any genre without seemingly trying to do so, unlike Mariah Carey. I absolutely love it and it's probably her best work ever!

Whitney Hosuton does it again. After eight years without a solo release, she comes back with an incredible album full of touching ballads and great hip hop flavoured tracks. On My Love Is Your Love Whitney works with a variety of music biggest produces to create the album of her life. Key tracks on the album include "Heartbreak Hotel" her recent top ten with Kelly Price and Faith Evans. This is the most soulful single in years and is the best example of an R@B classic. Whitney's oscar award duet with Mariah Carey "When You Believe" is a powerful song that did not get the attention it desereved from radio. Whitney's voice is stronger on the track but Carey delievers an equally emotional performance on a song that should have been a number one smash. "If I Told You That" produced by the great Rodney Jerkins is a bouncy hip hop number which will appeal to a new generation of Whitney fans. Diane Warren lends three tracks to the album including "I Bow Out" which is produced by both Jerkins and Babyface (Can You Believe It). The song's incredible bass line will have you hooked instantly. Another Warren track is "I Learned From The Best" produced by David Foster. It is a grand ballad which features Whitney in all her glory, however the track maybe a bit over-produced. The album's best track Warren's "You Never Stand Alone". It is a warm ballad full of lush strings and Whitney delievering her most laid back perforance since "You Were Loved" from The Preacher's Wife". This album has something for everybody and Whitney proves that she is still one of the best in the business.

Since the release of this Album, I can't stop listen to it. This is an amazing Album and every Song on it is great. With Whitney's amazing voice this Album will be the best R&B Album out there for a long time. Ican't wait until she releases her Greatest Hits Album. She is an awesome Artist!

I am a fan of Whitney Houston. When I purchased this album I didn't feel immediately in love with it. Over time it reflects another signature moment of this Amazing Talent Woman. There is no female vocalist today can touch Whitney. The only rare exceptions would be Fantasia, Monica and Mariah Carey, Shanice Wilson, Faith Hill, Faith Evans, Patti Labelle. I mean a vocalist that captures you with there vocals and you can actually cry when you hear them sing a song because the have capture the essence it touches your soul and heart as well. You can simply listen to their voice as they sing. That is simply a God Gifted talent. Some people have to work on it and develop that ability. There are not many female vocalist are in this ladies league. This album reflects a diffrent Whitney and it works for her. I love all the songs. It shows her diversity. She reflects her feelings and she captures it very well with this album. Some fans might be hestiate to embrace this other Whitney but, if you love her vocals it will grow on you over time. I love the following songs and why

1. It's Not Right But It's Okay -Glorious

2. Heartbreak Hotel - Faith Evans -She in these amazing talented ladies turn this song into anthem. Amazing vocals from Whitney, Faith and Kelly.

3. My Love Is Your Love - Whitney - amazing vocals

4. When You Believe - Mariah Carey Signature Whitney it really captures both of these talented ladies to come together in sing amazing song together.

5. If I Told You That -Attitude Whitney, vocally she present her self well

6. In My Business - Missy Elliott -Attitude Whitney, she delivers fiercely and vocally she captures this song. You can feel her pain that this is her signature song for this album

7. I Learned from the Best -Great Song and Vocally Wonderful

Whitney is Amazing and this album reflects her feelings at the time. I would encourage any fan of hers or someone who is looking to hear amazing talent to purchase. This is another side of this Amazing talent woman.

If you've been listening to the radio lately, then you'be probaly heard any one of Whitney's new songs..."It's Not Right...", "My Love Is Your Love"; and you go out, buy the CD and find out that it isn't the version on the record...serves you right. Whitney Houston rocks-and this CD deserves to be heard-with no frills. "My Love Is Your Love" is a slow groove that soothes your soul, and "It's Not Right...", classic R&B that lets you know where Whitney stands. The immensely popular Thunderpuss Dance Mix isn't on here-and thank God-there is no place for it. "If I Told You That", my personal favorite, is a roll lickin', who dunit, that needs no introduction, and "Get It Back', is just plain sexy. Leave the dance mixes for the club and refresh your body, mind, and soul with a little R&B-Whitney style.

I bought this CD because I loved the song "My Love is Your Love" and I couldn't find a single of it. I ended up listening to the whole CD, and loving it! "Heartbreak Hotel," "If I Told You That," "It's Not Right But It's Okay," and "My Love is Your Love" are four of her greatest songs ever. The CD is sort of relaxing and soothing, fun to listen to anytime. The songs are good to dance to as well. And the song "When You Believe..." what words are there to describe it? It's so inspirational and beautiful. Buy this CD, it's worth it!

I hadn't bought a Whitney Houston record since her debut, although I still liked some of her subsequent recordings. After seeing her in concert this past summer, I had to get her latest CD, because the live versions were so wonderful. I am not disappointed. At least half of the songs are out of her normal range of recordings. I would recommend this CD to anybody who's looking for something fresh from Whitney...but don't expect an album full of ballads! Although they've released four top ten singles already (plus the Mariah Carey duet), there's at least two other hit single worthy songs in this set.

This is definately my favourite Whitney album; almost every song is great, but of course, there are some amazing/excellent moments. These include 'It's Not Right But It's Okay', 'When You Believe', 'I Learned From The Best' 'Oh Yes' and 'Until You Come Back'. If you were a fan of the singles, this collection is perfect. Also, this album is excellent as if is still the same amazing voice but also Whitney venturing (very successfully) into harder Rnb Hip-Hop territory. The album is worth the money just for 'Until You Come Back' and 'When You Believe', but every song is at least good, and at best well-written, original and very pleasant on the ears. Well done Whitney

I grew up hearing Whitney's dancy late 80's/early 90's tunes like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and "Queen of The Night." To some, the new sound from "My Love Is Your Love" may be too much of a change, but for other's it's very much appreciated. Ditching her previous producers, Whitney took in the incredible Clive Davis as the Executive Producer and she did all the vocal arrangement. The result? A magnificant and stunning collection of upbeat and slow jams. Working with such big names as DarkChild (most noteably working as Brandy's top producer), Babyface and Diane Warren (songwriter, "Un-Break My Heart"). The great thing about this album is that unlike others which are composed of some filler tracks there is no highlight to this disc. It starts out with some of the radio singles which is a good thing, but does not dissapoint from there. The opening number "It's Not Right But It's Okay" is classic DarkChild and was a great first single. Got more airplay on the R&B charts but had good remixes and got good club play. Soul Divas Kelly Price and Faith Evans accompany her on the soulful "Heartache Hotel" which is not a remake of the Elvis classic but a R&B masterpiece. Babyface produces one of the albums highlights which is the power ballad "When You Believe" featuring Pop Diva Mariah Carey. It was originally from the cartoon film "The Prince of Egypt" but Whitney and Mariah make this song their own. Whitney's rich voice and Mariah's light/ary powerhouse voice meld together perfectly. The Clive Davis influences are prominate on "My Love Is Your Love" as "If I Told You That" another DarkChild song incorporates piano chords in the beginning and throughout. Fans of Missy "Misdamenor" Elliot will not be dissapointed as well, for she writes/produces the groovy "In My Business" and "Oh Yes." I'd have to say that one of Whitney's best ballads (although "Where Do Broken Heart's Go" definately still holds the title as her best ballad) is on this disc: "I Learned From The Best" produced by hitmaker David Foster (the mastermind behind her hit "I Will Always Love You") and written by Diane Warren. I would consider it a good update from her En Vogue hit "Too Gone Too Long." Another favorite of mine is when two of my favorite producers/songwrites come together for a beautiful song: "I Bow Out" (Babyface and DarkChild). Who would've thougt it would work? And don't forget the title track written and produced by former Fugee's member Wyclef Jean, "My Love Is Your Love" which is *definately* a Whitney classic and is one of R&B's best songs ever. Overall, if you enjoyed some of the radio singles and are a Babyface, DarkChild, Diane Warren and Clive Davis fan then get this album. This is by far my favorite Whitney album. Though her newest effort "Just Whitney" has some hot tracks and is almost as good, "My Love Is Your Love" is my favorite. A+
