Whitney covers Stevie

According to NicksLive, Whitney Houston recorded HAEWAFY and may include it on her new CD, which drops in September. Here's hoping it's on the CD!

If this is true, that would be incredible. In fact, what it would do is put a lesser known Stevie Nicks song on what has the potential to be the comeback record of the decade - with sales well over 5 million in the US alone. Moreover, if it became a single, it would be huge for La Nicks. I mean, she made several million dollars (allegedly 5) on the Dixie Chicks' Landslide alone. And, this is Whitney Houston. Finally, much like WH's cover of Dolly's also much more beautiful original (I Will Always Love You) - WH could do Stevie's song justice as this is right up her ally of shining like the sun on beautiful ballads.

This HAS to either be on the record or be leaked!

I so hope this is true. Yes this song will have a new life of its own, just like Whitney
did with Dolly partons. And it will showcase Stevie again as a wonderful songwriter.
I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Well, if it doesn't make the actual album, hopefully it will as some sort of bonus somewhere... Everyone offers bonus tracks today.

Sorry. I hate to be a dissenter but if this is true I dread it. I really don't like her version of I Will Always Love You and if she brings the same histrionics to Has ASnyone Ever Written Anything For You it will ruin the song. She might not though and it might be great, but I'll be uneasy about it until I hear it.

I used to be a HUGE Whitney Houstin fan so I think this is great! However, I'm not sure this new album is going to be the amazing comeback that most people want it to be, her voice just isn't the same anymore, damaged by "habits". Anyway, I'm curious to hear what her version will sound like and bring in the cash for Stevie!

IF she does it well, this will be amazing...Whitney has a fantastic voice, and it could be an IWALY type smash...HAEWAFY certainly has the potential to be that...it will never make me forget Stevie's own version(s), just like no one can sing IWALY like Dolly can...but I still see it as a good thing...

Has anyone heard the Whitney Houstons version of Stevie's "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For you? was curious dont see it on her new cd ? Whitney did record this song with David Foster was curious why it was not released on cd?
