Default Whitney's voice is back

As I predicted, though she has had years of abuse, her instrument is from God. It clearly is back and in good form for her age.



So, I am looking forward to her new album if this is any indication. I hope she stays well.

America loves a comeback - Look at Liza and her mother.

I think the key to this comeback is for WH to display humility, say very little, and knock them dead with her voice and a killer song. if the material is mediocre, then it will be less of a comeback. I strongly suggest she cover a standard like My Heart Will Go On (though not that song) with a powerhouse vocal and then have a kicks ass club remix. Also, kick the obviously fake black ghetto BS.

I do not think the majority of people hate her. Rather, I think they find her tragic.

but do you think this clip really shows that her voice is "back"? I mean, she sounds fine, but there's nothing in the clip that screams "oh my god, she's hitting the notes and belting again!" to me. a lot of this is falsetto and CeCe so it may be hard for me to discern. I really, really want my Whitney back and ITA with your suggestion as to how she can do that, I'm just not seeing it from this clip.

It will depend on her humility...I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

I think she is singing in a strong manner. But, I agree the clip is not solid proof. Many think she cannot still sing at all, which this clip def. negates. I think that if she sang a ballad in the voice I hear in the clip, her voice would be considered as back. Only time will tell though.

It's a miracle she can sing at all. She is clearly staying in her comfort zone here. Baby steps. I hope she has stopped smoking.

They were putting the kids in school. Hopefully, it was nothing more.
