Whitney Houston covers the current issue of Ebony Magazine and opens up about shedding her excess baggage and her rise and fall in the industry.

On her life journey and battles:

“I shed a lot of stuff, a lot of unnecessary weight in the last three or four years. I left a lot of old luggage behind, and when I did, the blessings just started pouring on me, and the light in my spirit started to lift
again.”

So now the Whitney overload will begin, we love a recovered drug addict story as much as the next man but damn, people are gonna ride this ~ish till the wheels fall off.  Note to Whitney stans, you can go pick this up next Tuesday.

    I love Whitney, but I hate to say she has lost that “twinkle” in her eyes….she just looks flat to me. I wish her the best on her comeback though.

Why can’t we commend Ms. Whitney for what she has overcame thus far than to judge her with your predictions. I’m so happy for her. I don’t care if she sold one copy!! She’s still here!! Take a look around celebs are dropping dead like flies… Whitney keep proving them wrong!

    Team Nippy

  • CopyCat

    I’m sorry….I just don’t like Whitney Houston anymore. Sorry. She may make some decent music…but she fell off for me. When I saw her parading around on that fu@kery of a show with Her Husband…I knew she was dumb. I used to pay good money, American Dollars to see her in concert and all she did was praise Bobby Brown. Damned Fool. I just don’t like her. Thats all.

  • http://missakilahrussell.blogspot.com I got colors that aint even on the rainbow

    Guess she is back like cooked crack, no pun intended…well maybe a little lol.

  • cruzan trini

    @ mimoo and hahahahahah

    just because u change ur name on this doesn’t mean that we don’t know ur the same person posting. check ur gravi dude. LOL! :P

  • this

    whats with black woman and lacefront wig
    whitney looks bald, and she is over cook.
    too much air brush and makeup

  • Divine

    I’m cheering for her. She had THE best PURE voice ever. And I hope she regains that. Either way, I am hoping she does well.

  • http://bossip.com kimber

    Whitney If you do whatever for 10 more years those mf out there still will never be able to sing like YOU……….. \\

    Ms. Whit is true talent. No.1

  • whitwhit

    Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Choznwarrior

    Some of the most prolific artists albums flop or never become commercially successful-Minnie Ripperton…while some others with no talent tearup the charts.We the public are not as responsible as we would like to think for song being on the chart.The industry wants to do that.If they want Whitney at the top that’s what they’ll have you thinking.They had you to believe that MJ’s albums after Thriller were flops…they were number one in every country except United States.I don’t know one person who has listened to “I Run to You” all the way through.Tooo sad.Just like Brokeback Mountain was number one haven’t seen it nor do I intend to.You can’t believe everything the industry tells you.

  • Born

    HaHa haters…go Whitney…Jersey Born in full effect. Instant shoot out: Jersey, NY and Philly!!!

  • Mock

    That’s a beautiful picture of Whitney

  • Born

    ..WoW…shout out that is…hahaha

  • BEYONCE FAN

    WOW SHE LOOKS GREAT!!!

  • allgood

    Whitney looks beautiful!

  • RMG

    If you were strong enough to leave Bobby and get your self together, then I know your will not listen to all the “HATERS”I’m seeing on the net, especially women who don’t want to see another woman make it,”JEALOUSY” will get them “NOWHERE”.

  • Aunt Viv

    She looks great-welcome back Whitney

  • darealwifey

    I’m happy for her. It doesn’t cost me anything to send positive energy to the sister, and wish her well. I’d rather these headlines than the ones of her heading down skid row.

  • GMW

    WOW, look at GOD’s never failing Grace and Mercy. I’m thankful everyday for it. How wonderful to see/hear her again. We are all worthy of what’s in store for us:)

  • Brian

    Although Mariah Carey is my favorite artist, I love Whitney’s music and I am thrilled to see her get it together.

  • Kaylyn

    Whitney….there were sooooooo many folk praying for you an God is good and His mercy and grace endures forever!!!! Gotta run and get your CD right now!!!

    Love you!

  • AmusingFoods
  • BLACKDIAMONDCENTER

  • LoyalJane

    Hannibal is white or some other minority that assumes he or she is superior. The photo is offensive (Michelle’s face combined with a chimpanzee) and the photo is a mirror of the self loathing you have. People only have the need to degrade others when they themselves are worthless.
