Is this the first time a major recording artist pushes her album FORWARD, not back?

LOL at Mariah. She must feel miserable now. Her single is flopping while Whitney is gaining all the attention. LOL!!!!

Whitney’s only real Grammy challenger will be Beyonce. I think it’s a decent album and even my 54-year old mother purchased it so it definately has a chance. A New York Post blog also has a rumor that she will appear on the VH1 Divas show! (I would watch that just for Whitney (and maybe Kelly Clarkson).

Regardless…pushing the album forward doesn’t ignore the fact that the two songs are still lackluster. Those records are not going to do “crazy” things on radio…maybe adult R&B stations. They only pushed it forward because her chances of being nominated multiple times are good being that there’s not much good music out and the show is nothing but a popularity contest driven by NARAS’ need for high ratings. How can you even talk about sweeping the GRAMMYs when WE haven’t even heard the album. Clive is known for hyping sh!@ up and we buy into everytime. Let’s not forget how her album sales never lived up to the hype surrounding Just Whitney…the outcome won’t be that much different this time around. She’s a legend because of all that’s she done…but it’s a day…

@ hahahaha You crazy if you really think Mariah is trippin off that ish! lol I’m happy more than anybody about Whitney’s comeback, so I ain’t a hater. Thing is, Mariah would still be #1 even if every female artist put out music for another 10 years they STILL couldn’t catch up. LOL Having a #1 record or #1 song right now is all great and dandy but it still don’t negate almost 20 years of music, Awards and 18 #1 Hits!!! Lol give me a break bruh or mah! Mariah could put her feet up, sit back and relax for the next 5 to 10 years and still be the #1 female recording artist!!! You know it’s true. :)

I love Mariah and Whitney’s music. and I got every album they’ve ever made and I’m gettin both their new albums too! yep!

But PLEASE don’t start that comparison ish with Mariah and any other chick cause it ain’t even a competition. ya heard!? ;)

I wish her songs were not dated cause they don’t go along with her current (bad) voice. I feel sorry for her. She used to be one of the greatest voices with Celine and Mariah. Now she’s just Rihanna alike. :(

Whitney does sound different, but she still sounds good. I’m happy she can still sing.

In my book Whitney is still one of the greatest! An artist work never dies.

I think I’m gon watch The Bodyguard again…love that movie! :)

Whitney and Mariah are my number ones right now! Highly anticipatin these albums.. Been a fan since forever. And if someone says whitney’s voice is shot, then so is mariah’s..

But what does that say about today’s talent? Our legends have “shot voices” (compared to what they once were) and are still relevant, selling like hotcakes, and inspiring generations to come.

yes, Whitney recorded some very traditional songs, but obviously she came out on top because her album is at the top of amazon charts a month before release.. no shade, but mariah ain’t so high up

Whitney’s voice seems to be shot. They had two or three years to run that shit through the best electronic voice enhancers and autotuners that money could buy…and it just sounds weak and off. :mrgreen: :razz: :lol:
