Forget Mariah…Whitney Houston’s New CD is a Certified Banger!
Posted by Bossip Staff
Clive Davis debuted Whitney Houston’s new CD “I Look to You” last night at Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC.
Clive played 9 out of 11 tracks from the breakthrough album and from the audience feedback, all nine of the songs heard are potential hits! After the listening session was over, Whitney came out to a standing ovation from music colleagues such as Alicia Keys, Diane Sawyer, Vivica Fox, Gayle King, Martha Stewart, Nikki Haskell, and lots of family including her mom Cissy Houston, cousin Dionne Warwick, and daughter Bobbi Kristina.
Bossip has also learned that Whitney will have an ABC special that is set to air in August before the release of her CD in September.

Whitney is a winner…
BOOOOOOOOOOO WHITNEY! CRACKHEAD! THIS ISN’T THE 80′S ANYMORE, YOUR CAREER IS OVER! MARIAH CAREY WILL SELL MORE RECORDS THAN YOU, AGAIN!
YAY!!
I recommend you a nice milionaire dating site __Rich Flirts.c o m__. Whenever I chat with my friends on this site, I feel really relaxed and happy. They are easygoing and honest. I enjoy staying on the site. Hope you can find more nice rich friends there. Good luck to you.
hope you do well whit
Go Whitney, I wish you the best, no looking back
Mariah will not be dethroned, least of all by a washed up ‘former’ crack addict.
Is that out today?
TEAM WHITNEY ALL DAY!!!! Congrats
@Hannibal
Lol, exactly. It’s not the 90’s people. She needs to retire gracefully like Tina Turner.
All of you hating in here have you even heard the CD, and you seemed to forget get CRAZY ***** Mariah acting a fool and having to go to the looning bin for a while (aka exhaustion), so before you start talking about Whit Whit lets stop and roll the footage cuz I saw that ish she was as HIGH AS PAULA ABDUL.
Poetry STFU, legends do not retire they run ish until they decide its over.
Yeah, this may just go platinum!!!
@medievalpoetry
I AGREE! WHITNEY HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO OUTSELL MARIAH!
Not from that 1st, “I was cracked out of my mind & counting on you to help me” single. Whitney has clearly lost her voice from smoking all that crack & her continue love of Newports. I don’t know how much money Clive put in Bossip’s account, but that single is not a banger.
Hannibal, you’re an idiot!!!
HANNIBAL!!! You’re an idiot!!!
@AlphaKappaAlpha Soror
THANX
Whitney, I hope she gets back on the up & up!
She back……its all over the net!!
Hannibal, why do you always post your mother’s picture ?
@SWAN1
LOL, I DIDN’T KNOW MY MOTHER WAS THE FIRST LADY!
hater will always died alone……get a *****in life u hater……thats why god is blessin her…..and not u ……keep blockin ur blessin
i will be picking up the new cds by BOTH mariah and whitney. these are two of our living greats and i’m going to support them. why does it have to be one or the other? i’m not understanding… smh
They need to call her cd: THE CRACKHEAD CHRONICLES – A TALE OF WRETCHED EXCESS AND FALSE REDEMPTION.
This ***** will probably be dead from an overdose within a year.
SMH @ people acting like this is Beyonce and Mariah.
Children, these are two of the greatest singers of our time. Both have albums that are among the best selling albums in the US.
It’s room in the industry for 5 Whitney’s and 5 MiMi’s if you ask me. Just knock some of these other bum b*tches OUT! I’m tired of bubble-gum RnB. Aside from A.Keys, J.Hud, Jazmine, Jill, Erykah(gotta love the Queendom), Mary, Anita Baker (hurry up and come back Anita!), Fantasia and after a long,long hiatus Beyonce. EVERYONE ELSE IS DISMISSED (in my best Joe Clark voice)!
Go girl and handle ya biz!!!!
THE CRACKHEAD CHRONICLES – A TALE OF WRETCHED EXCESS AND FALSE REDEMPTION
An autobiography by marquis de sade’s parents!!!
MARIAH IS A ICON. You guys always do this and Mariah also wins. Mariah carey has the white people, the black people, the spanish people and the gays. Whitney houston with all her drug use, bad vocals, and craziness, has lost most of her fans. She does not tour, she does not sign autographs.
Mariah CAREY WINS HANDS DOWN.
MARIAH HAS a top 10 single AGAIN, and whitney houston’s single is FLOPPING and they were released at the same time.
MY VOTE—————————-MARIAH
MARIAH CAREY-CANNON
also mariah if she stop whispering like cat woman
Back On My Swag
Why am I not surprised? Another typical ***** ***** gettin’ its’ “STAN” on for a crackhead.
MARIAH CAREY WINS
mariah carey will slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ms. houston
MARIAH OWNS THIS BATTLE
THIS IS A TIRED BATTLE.
MARIAH HAS THE FAN BASE.
mariahs lambs actually buy cds and download, mariah is relevant. whitney-not so much
mrs. mariah is on fire and her video is sexy
sorry i love old schoolz whitney but mariah would against her. MARIAH
I want to hear professional and customer reviews on this CD when it comes out.
mariah doesnt win *****…while her “whisper” may win over younguns who dont know ***** about music, whitney’s will win the critical, grammy, and AMA votes
plus, mariah may have sold more records, but lets not forget that whitney (according to guiness world records) has won the most music awards ever, and her movies and television showings outdistance mariah’s greatly!
Do you Whitney stans actually think she can sing after all that crack and meth? Puhlease.
will this just in: mariah is full of her self and always thinks someone is out for her. that confused hoe dont no weather to walk or run. and she treats nick like a little *****. So there is nothing to compair between these two, people fall down its just how and if they get up thats why ms houston is a true G and mariah is a fake half in half. Whit was number one diva before and still is. And she smoked cigs and did *****e, crack for whit was wack get it *****in right haters!!!!!!!!!
Mariah is fake? Come on if she was not half white we wouldnt be hearing this. Whitney has a new single her voice is shot. People will buy her CD out of pity because she kicked a crack habit. You guys are racist.
A true diva is back from vacation.
Why compare Mariah and Whitney at all. Can’t they both have hits. Sheesh. BTW, I would take Whitney over Mariah any time, any day.
Anyway, I wish Whitney the best. Can wait for her CD to drop. Even if Whitney tanks, she can’t sound any worse than half the ***** that comes across the airwaves today as hits. JMO.
Correction: Can’t wait for the CD to drop.
Clive Owen was the first one on his feet crying and clapping at the 2006 Grammy when Mariah killed it singing we belong together and Fly like a bird. He knows whats up he is hoping for synpathy buyers.
WAY TO GO WHITNEY!!!!
EXCUSE ME BUT I THOUGHT THIS POST WAS ABOUT WHITNEY NOT MARIAH!!!! THEY ARE BOTH GREAT….. ONE THING IS FOR SURE >>>>> THEY DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH EACH OTHER JUST THEIR FANS …..NOW THAT’S SAD. 2 DIVAS FOREVER. GOOOOO WHITNEY ON YOUR NEW ALBUM. PEACE OUT…….
congrats Whitney,good luck,miss the sounds of good music,that I just dont see today in any female artist
There’s enough room for both of them- don’t believe the hype! As Chuck D would say.
Bravo Nippy! People please stop hating on this 2 MUSICAL ICONS.Quote of the Day;” No one is good-no one in all the WORLD is innocent.”No one has ever really followed GOD’S PATH,or even truly wanted to.Every one has turned away;all have gone wrong. No one anywhere has kept on doing what is RIGHT;not one.Romans 3:10-12.
ou guys are on some next ***** if you think whitney will flop. Dunno why you guys compare mariah carey and whitney, comparing them by album sells is like saying Britney spears is better than real music Marj J Bligebecause she has sold more albums. Whitney has the awards down, better films etc.. Shes not pop she makes real soul *****. It’s really ignorant to think Whitney will flop.. Plus Hannibal dude ever other post you comment on you never come out with anything positive dude or even constructive criticism.. You’ve been sipping on that Haterade
They are both very talented women, and its obviously some very ignorant people in this post, how in the hell yall going to be all over Mariah when she lost her damn mind at once and bounced back, but you dont want to root for Whitney who has obviously come a long way to try and get back on her feet, f’ng ignorant *****ed people.
Waiting for the September release !
Love ya Whitney !!!!
pumping your old stuff in my new truck while I wait !!!
Wow, the level of hatred in these comments against Ms. Houston is unbelievable. If she died tomorrow all the people posting ugly comments will be saying how great she was, buying up her music and wearing t-shirts with her picture on it. Just like they are doing Michael Jackson. Whitney is in a cl***** by herself. After all the struggles she’s been through fairly recently, I wish her all the best.
She looks good! I’m glad she stopped *****eship hoppin!
good lucky whitney yr a lucky one now show this rookies how its done n get yr semi spot back
Whitney will never go out of style!
limeindotcom
Hannibal,
To write something like that, you are quite the jack*****. Why don’t you just not write at all!
I KNOW THE DOPE MAN WILL BE HAPPY.
Whitney will ALWAYS have fans; Mariah, too. Haters, get a life! In looking at your picture, you look more First Jack***** than our beautiful 1st lady. The first lady and Whitney both can probably kick your butt!
I KNOW THE DOPE MAN WILL BE HAPPY. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love you Whitney, STILL and we are pulling for a great come back. I think people still love her even though she had some problems, you cannot deny that she is gifted and talented. We have been waiting a long time for the come back album. This is the perfect time for her to come back….when she is good and ready for it: Healthy, cleaned up, and strong. Go Whitney, Go Whitney!
Team Whitney!!!! Team Whitney!!!!
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
**calling up Madam Ruth to get some ***** to work a “rut” on Hannibal and the rest of the opposing team Whitney players**
I love you Whitney!!!!! Whitney has waaaay more longevity in the game. Did you guys hear the old interview Whitney did with Wendy Williams?/ Whitney is not to played with baby… She gave Wendy the business…TEAM WHITNEY ALL DAY BABY!!
Whitney Houston is timeless. Her voice is so unique her songs can never be remade. Mariah gives props to whitney so why are we ocmparing them?
So what if she used drugs, as did a lot of singers, actors etc she was just more open. Does not change her talent.

Lol!!!!
Hiya BE!!!!!
**singing**
“You are my sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me haaaaaaaaaapppppppppppppy……”
I’m not really looking forward to either one of their returns, but I will go with Whitney before Mariah. Mariah is so fake she annoys me. At least Whitney dresses her age. Mariah always looks trashy like that “midlife crisis I think I’m 20 years old when I’m really 40″ look
This is crazy..I read some of these comments and I do not understand at all lol….
Like this is not a new singer…This is arguably one of the greatest singers ever….Mariah and Houston are not competing…they never was….They both will know they place in history….when it is all said and done…..
I am impress with a woman to go thru everything Ms Houstan have gone through and still fight her way back on solid ground….Some of yall act like *****s….and if I did not know any better i would think yall best friends with these people how yall go back and forward for them….
Enjoy the body of work and the mere effort to entertain you….stop using a person misfortunes to prove whatever silly point you may have…people go thru things….and people bounce back…I am really glad Houstan bounce back
Mariah Carey is an incredible singer, songwriter and arranger, Whitney houston was an incredible singer, but it sounds like she’s lost her voice. Her new song, i had to turn it off, the vocals were just OFF
Why are people hating on Whitney Houston?
Why should she retire?
Because this Bossip column says “Forget Mariah…”???
I swear some ah y’all really let tabloids and ***** run y’all common sense.
They’re both blessed with beautiful voices and Whitney is a very strong woman judging by how much she’s bounced back.
I wish her nothing but the best!
kr,
you’re a jack*****, too
it’s already pretty well known that mariah is gonna flop. Whitney is gonna slay this fall.
R&B fans win with Miss Houston back. She is a talented singer who does not OVERSING.
Have these lambs checked out SNIPPETS of the two whitney songs on youtube…HER VOICE IS BACK BIIIIIIIG TIIIIME!!!!….No auto-tune enhancement like MC=JOKE….sorry truth be told…Whitney is the HOTTEST BUZZ in the music Industry right now….Martha Stewart Benny Medina Gayle King to state a few were at the listening sesh check out what MARTHA STEWART TWITTERED ABOUT WHITNEY….BOOYAH K.O.-MC IS GOING DOWWWWWN….DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU LOL..WHITNEYYYYYYY IS BAAAAAAACK & SHE AÍNT PLAYING HAHAHAHA!!!!
She looked Radiant!!!! the Listening Party was the party of the Season. The Album was very very on point, not as potent as I expected, but worth the money if you buy it. Go Nippy!!!!!
All I have to say is that Whitney will win any battle against Mariah!!
Mariah should accept her age and start to behave like that!!
Whitney is a lady and worlds best vocalist!!!!!!
the sooner you all haters accept that, less frustrations you ll have when she gets back on the throne!!!
nothing but love!!!
whitney started the trend for all these new feamale artis if it weren’t for her there would’nt be no mimi’s, mary j’s, beyonce’s, a keys, k coles so on and so on. real music is comming back the real diva is about to take back her throne
All you people making reference to Whitney’s drug addiction….I wonder what personal struggle you have or will endure. This has nothing to do with her great talent! Let’s be thankful that she has rehabilitated herself because she is a human being not because of who she is. Furthurmore, her talent is amazing, and she has more of her voice than Mariah. Not that I think one is better, but she still has some power in her vocals and MC doesnt.
GO Whitney!
Whitney just keep doing what your doing!!
Your past doesnt dictate who you are, and if the haters need it to….more power to them….your success will just be sweeter.
Cant wait to get your new album!
jjngjgkl
When you mature, you’ll stop comparing artists with each other and appreciate music for what it is – if you don’t want to buy or even listen to the CD – don’t buy it – if you’re perfect and intend to be for the rest of your life, God bess you – if not – shut the ***** up.
WHitney Houston, Mariah Carey = September
TONI BRAXTON = NOVEMBER .. NOW THAT’S WHO I’M WAITING ON.
Whitneyyyyyyyyyy go
I wish her well. I hope she makes a comeback. I’m a huge Mariah fan, but this about life people. Let’s see Whitney have a happy ending just like Mariah did when she came back and THEN got remarried!!
***** the comepetition *****, lets see a happily ever after.
GO WHIT!!! blow them pipes girl!!!
more importantly don’t stand so close to the child molester Mr. Clive Davis..he goes to third world countires and does his dirt w/poor little boys, faaarr away from the media..BUT he’s white so it won’t come out..but its known..
stand back from that filth Whit!! get ya money and back AWAY!
Clive the PERVERT!

With her 18th chart-topper Touch My Body, Mariah Carey has p*****ed Elvis Presley for the most No. 1 singles on the Billboard singles chart, and is now second only to the Beatles.
NOW THAT’s WHAT’s UP!!!!
MICHAEL JACKSON HAS MORE #1 HITS THAN MARIAH, BUT MADONNA HAS EVEN MORE THAN HER…( NOT THAT I LIKE MADONNA, I’M JUST STATING A FACT!) BUT MIMI RUNS A CLOSE SECOND, SO ALL YOU WHITNEY FANS CAN RECOGNIZE GREATNESS WHEN IT’S IN YO FACE!!!!
SHHHHH………
HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!~
THE VOICE IS BACKKK!!!STOP HATING WE KNOW WHO IS THE BEST WHITNEY ALL DAY
This is not about sales. What usually sells is about sex, p*****ing away (MJ) and in Mariah’s case – stupidity. This is about QUALITY OF MUSIC. Noone can doubt the power of I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO?, HOW WILL I KNOW, MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE. For these singles alone, Whitney is the greatest vocalist ever. Period.
This album is going to be the best. Whitney’s, Madonna’s greatest hits and Sade’s new album are what we should watch out for this Fall.
lets talk about film roles all of whitney houstons movies- body guard- preachers wife and waiting to exhale were all # 1 at the box office and didnt mariah careys one horrible movie flop and get panned by every movie critic out there ? lol
why does every one compare whitney to mariah they are both talented im sick of mariah but used to be a huge fan im a much bigger whitney fan now
Who are we to judge? Everyone have issues and no matter what the situation, God is a restorer. I wish the best for Whitney and the cd is great! Instead of throwing stones support her and pray her strength. That could be anyone of us or a family member. Do your thing Whitney, I pray your strength.
much love…
Well Lambs…guess the debate is over. Mariah lost this one…big…debut at number three, two flop singles, even after lowering prices and getting favortism on radio airplay, she STILL couldnt pull out a big debut. Whitney sold more in her third week than Mariah on her first. Whit is going to go platinum in about a month, Mariah will probably not get there. Im sure you all are listening to “cant take that away” and crying now.
All those comments from July 2009 stating Mariah would outsell Whitney. Well look at this. Whitney’s album gold after only 5 weeks and Mariah’s album may not ever go gold. Whitney will be looking at platinum 3-4 months after the album’s release while most acts take a year to get there, if ever. What you guys failed to realize is that Whitney has always outsold Mariah on a per-album-basis. Mariah simply released more albums to make up the difference.
