5.0 out of 5 stars This is no doubt Whitney's absolute best work!, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Whitney Houston (Audio CD)

This is Whitney Houston's absolute best album. This was her debut album back in February 14, 1985 and made her phenomenally successful. If you are a fan of Whitney's heartfelt music, then this and her second album "Whitney" is a must for your music collection. To date, this is Whitney's most successful studio, non-soundtrack album. The only album that tops this in sales is the Bodyguard soundtrack. This album has sold about 23 million copies worldwide, while her second album sold 19 million to date.

I found that 4 of the songs on this album are the absolute best. These 4 are: "Saving all my love for you," "How will I know," "All at once," and "Greatest love of all." My personal favorite is "How will I know."

Unlike today's much younger music stars who have no talent and are popular only with the teen crowd, here is a diva that truly has a sensational voice whether it was singing the "Star Spangled Banner" or "One Moment in Time" at the 1988 Summer Olympics or "I will always love you" from the Bodyguard Soundtrack or one of her hits from her earlier albums, Whitney is a true diva, and I AM A TEEN!

5.0 out of 5 stars Whitney Houston, August 12, 2004

This review is from: Whitney Houston (Audio CD)

Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston, had four number one singles on it? Did you know that, Christy? It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks. But "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written; about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in, to empathize with others. We can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message. Crucial really, as beautifully stated on the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars R.I.P. AND THANK YOU, WHITNEY~~YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!!, February 11, 2012

This review is from: Whitney Houston (Audio CD)

I am shocked and grieving; Whitney Houston has died all too soon--she was merely 48 years old! The daughter of gospel singer Cissy Houston, the cousin of 1960s pop diva Dionne Warwick and even the goddaughter of Aretha Franklin, Whitney was born to be a star; and that's the way I will always remember her. "You Give Good Love" and "The Greatest Love of All" were two of my very favorite Whitney Houston tunes; it's great to have them here.

And the rest of what we get is nothing short of bliss; this is Whitney's very strong debut album that showcases her vocal prowess and proves she was a superstar. Numbers I really like include "Saving All My Love for You;" this number alone is worth the price of admission and has Whitney singing like very few others ever could! "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" is a fine duet with Jermaine Jackson; and I also love that dance beat as Whitney sings flawlessly on "How Will I Know." "All At Once" is very poignant; Whitney massages the lyrics to this ballad like a pro! "Hold Me" is another great tune.

This is very highly recommended for any Whitney Houston fan; and it even makes a fine starter CD for anyone just discovering the incredible artistry of Whitney Houston.

Thank you, Whitney! We will never forget you!
