Behold: The Magic & Majesty Of Whitney Houston's Album Cover
We don't take for granted the reality that folks love issuing romantic, complex and mythological edicts based on static images. So, let's see how much we can read into the cover of Whitney Houston's forthcoming I Look To You. Is it (1) a reflection of her growth as an artist? Is it (2) the calm after the storm? Or is it (3) simply a great shot? [CL]

I'd say a combo of all three..I can't lie tho, the retouching around her eyes bothers me a bit, but it's not too over the top. Nature of the biz these days I guess. Overall I like it =)

Sun Diva | July 16, 2009 3:17 PM | PermalinkI think it is diva & artistic. Brava Whitney. Though the photos from "Just Whitney" are some of my personal favorites of hers, no matter what anyone says.-QH
QH | July 16, 2009 1:15 PM | PermalinkWay too much photoshop for my personal taste. I admire her for trying to go classy with it, but even Celine Dion has more edge now. What gives?!
cjayconrod | July 16, 2009 12:56 PM | PermalinkDamn she looks like Beverly Johnson...............Can you say Photoshop?
stoneyisland | July 16, 2009 11:54 AM | Permalinklooking more like Dionne every day
blknite | July 16, 2009 11:32 AM | PermalinkOh definitely (1).

It's like My Love is Your Love never happened.
...still got my fingers crossed.
hoodedmonk | July 15, 2009 10:47 PM | PermalinkWhitney Houston has never been deep as an artist so I go with a great DIVA shot supported by all that technology (photoshop, retouching, et al) can bring to the table. Ain't mad at her, though.
Keith | July 15, 2009 8:54 PM | PermalinkSo glad for her comeback. She's looking livlier in recent photos. Go Whit whit!
Jennifer | July 15, 2009 8:23 PM | PermalinkLol, i'm going to with the latter--just a great shot.
J | July 15, 2009 8:17 PM | PermalinkThat's some damn good retouching lol. But I dig it. Whether I'm ready for a whitney comeback is an entirely different story.
xt04 | July 15, 2009 5:39 PM | PermalinkOkay, Monty Hall, I'll go with #3: A great shot.................coupledwith great lighting and damn good airbrushing.
