New Whitney Channels Old Whitney In New Single

Let me be the first to say that I cannot stand Pop ballads nowadays. Every time one of the current crop of divas goes this route, it never feels sincere, and I always think to myself "This only works for Whitney." Luckily, La Houston's new single, "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" is produced and written by David Foster and Diane Warren, and harkens back to the classics that made Whitney a chart-topping sensation. There's a noticeable difference in the effectiveness of her vocals, but we suspect there are enough people out there not only grateful for the message here, but her return as well. [LBS]
