Comment on anything you want... I'm doing some "reasearch" on this new album with some non Whitney hardcore fanatics... Comment on anything you feel/think. About the album name, Whitney in general, the album cover, the tracklisting, the release date, etc...

Large Version of the album cover so you can really check it out. Ignore the funny looking stuff on it... It happened during the resize... http://toni-online.com/whitneycover.jpg

Come on all you peepers... Comment on anything... Postive negative, neutral... anything that crosses your mind when you first see the cover, the title, the date, the tracklisting etc... I'm not looking for swayed comments, I'm looking for everything... good and bad...

[MafHoney]

Nice rock!

(No, not crack rocks :p) The one on her finger :eek:

[KareNsync2000]

Nice picture
Nice songs
Will I buy it? No

All I can think of when I see her is how she's screwed up her life and wonder what she sees in her husband.

[pinky]

I agree that she looks absolutely gorgeous in that picture, and like Jenn, I'd be very happy if she actually looks that good now.

Other than One Wish and the last track, Who Would Imagine a King, neither of which I've ever heard of, the tracks on the album are classics that I think Whitney would record classically.

I think I might buy this one!

[*CareBear33*]

I think she looks healthy on the cover and like maf said that is a damn good looking rock on her finger. I hope her CD does well. Will I buy it. Probably not because im not a fan but I will tell my mom! lol.

[Just4ashley21]

I think she looks beautiful!

looking past her... past.... she has an amazing voice! I have always loved her work! I just actually watched the bodyguard this weekend at like 3am when i had a 'break' I :love: that movie!

like everyone else has said... the songs are classics and i bet she did them justice....

if i don't buy it, im sure my mom will.... we are suckers for holiday albums!

[Trinity3]

She does look absolutely gorgeous! No matter what has happened to her in her personal life, her voice has always been there. I have always loved "Who Would Imagine a King" from The Preacher's Wife. I will buy it. Thanks for posting it TJ!

[HipHopChristian]

I think the cover looks cool and the songs are great :)

I like the release date... not to out of it (like the AI xmas cd.. it's not even halloween yet lol) and not to close to xmas either... perfect :)

[Trinity3]

Isn't that the day the Justified DVD comes out? I love the holidays--I'm very nice to myself! LOL

[grace701]

Well she looks gorgeous. When I saw Bobbi, I thought "Oh God, not that man she calls a husband!" But I was wrong! :) I'm happy to see something about her daughter.

Although I like Whitney, I don't have any of her albums, but the fact that she is coming with a Christmas album makes me want to go out and buy it because as mentioned before she would record them classically. Just make it sound real in tune with the season. But I'll hold out and wait til TJ says something. ;)

Nawh... Talk freely... I'm not going to say anything to sway the conversation. The reason behind this was that at the Whitney site we (the hardcore, sleep outside all week just to catch a peek of her wig, fans) had a huge disagreement about a major point of the album. When we saw everything that I posted above we picked it up right away. I wanted to see if the general non Whitney-fanatics would notice what we noticed. But so far nobody has. So that's a good thing. This is also helping me compile my research of people's feelings about the Christmas album. Thanks ya'll... If anyone has any more comments then by all means please feel free to roll through and drop a comment. Thanks!

[Trinity3]

Is Waldo in there??????????? LOL

[Just4ashley21]

LOL! you crack me up Trin!

i even went back to see if i missed something... all i noticed the second time around was the huge ass rock the woman has on her hand.... its all like... bam bling bling anyone?!:D

[Tiki]

LMAO @ Trin!

[HipHopChristian]

yeah, I'm also trying to figure it out now LOL ;)

[Katlin]

I was really really curious about what was "wrong" with it, and I think I found out what the disagreement was after some research.

I'm not sure though.

If it is what I think it is, non-obsessed fans like myself won't notice.

LOL, sorry to be so secretive, but I didn't know if TJ still wanted to keep it non-judgemental.

Alright high five to Katlin for being so inquisitive... What do you think it is? Go 'head and divulge your information... I’m kinda curious to see if you got it right.

[Katlin]

LOL. Stuff like that bugs the crap out of me. I need to know, even if I don't really care that much.

From what I read at some random Whitney board, are people complaining because that is an old picture from some magazine shoot?

I'm gonna feel really dumb if I'm wrong, lol.

lol... Don't feel dumb... you're right. It's not an old shoot, but the cover is an extra shot from an issue of Essence she did a month or so ago. So it's not old as in years ago, but it's old in the since we have already seen it. We wanted a new picture b/c we didn't like the recycled picture. It makes the record company look lazy, and slack in the promotion of this album... Other than that, we have no problem with it... I love the tracklisting...

But outside of the hardcore Whitney fan circle no one else seemed to catch that. Either here, or a other boards people bought the info too for 'research.' So maybe it's not that bad... I just wanted some new pictures of my girl... :cry:

[Katlin]

Yay for me!

I never would have known in a million years had I not been loserish enough to "research".

Just must be you die hards! :D

LMAO @ Katlin for inventing new words... lol... loserish... ha!

[Katlin]

I invent words ALL the time. ;)

[pinky]

Like "mississippilessly"???????

And what on earth does that mean, anyway?

[HipHopChristian]

lol, wouldn't it be funny if I was like... "okay, how cheap are these record execs.. they used the same shoot from Essence!"... lol?

and me, a regular person... would know that.

[Katlin]

LMAO.

From Friends last week. Ross went to get a fake tanner sprayed on and they told him to count to 5 and then turn around and he goes "One Mississippi....Two Missississippi..." and they sprayed him and he goes "You didn't give me enough time! You didn't say to count Mississippilessly!"

LMAO. Oh boy. Now you've started me up again. Laughing hysterically.

Did I really say that on here?

I don't remember...

[HipHopChristian]

LMAO! I didn't see Friends last week, so I think I would of notice if you said it on the board... I don't remember u saying it lol

[Katlin]

Then how did pinky know?

That kinda scares me. :roll:

[pinky]

Ah, but Katlin, you DID say it! In the Interview thread, you asked, "Did you use the word 'mississippilessly' in a sentence today?"

(The answer was, of course, no)

[Katlin]

Ahh, yes. Now I do recall!

O crap! I didn't even notice. Now that you've mentioned it, the picture does look familiar. Am I late? :) I guess since they added words to it, I didn't notice. :nc: You're right it could be the record label, but I highly doubt that. Even if they don't promote records properly you'll always have new photos. At least that's what I think. Perhaps Ms. Houston couldn't make it that day or didn't want to have new photos taken?

BTW, I'll still wait for your report to buy her Christmas Album. I need some variation. I have *NSYNC, Christina (which I've listened to once) and um....*NSYNC. :p

[HipHopChristian]

The Christina Christmas CD is AWESOME!!!!!!! :D
