Whitney Sounds Like A 'Million Dollar Bill'
No wonder Whitney Houston was all smiles and hugging up on Alicia Keys like they were BFF's at her recent NYC listening party. As it turns out, Alicia and her boo Swizz Beats hooked Whitney up lovely on "Million Dollar Bill, the "official" first single from I Look To You, due in stores August 31st. No stranger to singing songs for the dance floor, Whitney and company have crafted an upbeat groove that you can two-step to. Personally, I love this song in all its Donna/Diana/discotheque diva splendor. Is Whitney's voice as strong as it once was when she belted out "I'm Every Woman"? No, but that's been established already. For who she is now and where she is now, this works for me. Here's to hoping this track gets a tight video to match.

MasterPlan | August 10, 2009 12:49 PM | PermalinkThe best of the leaks so far
blknite | August 10, 2009 11:03 AM | PermalinkI like it, though there's a sneaky tingle in the bad of my mind that says it feels incomplete, lacking some element I can't put my finger on. I know one thing, it's not overdone. I like her formula though, showcase herself first and sneak the collabo's later down the road.
I wish her luck. Cause her voice now is good enough for me.
Manamongst Hussein | August 10, 2009 9:20 AM | PermalinkA nice try , the backtrack is a sample from an old discotune by Lolelatta Holloway from the 1970s called where getting stronger , i tried to recognise the typical voice of Whitney , but it almost isnt

QH | August 8, 2009 10:32 AM | PermalinkAlthough I love disco music, I can't get into this song, but it does remind me of an old Tavares cut.
