Mostly everyone likes her voice including others on other fan boards,blogs,etc (There will be dumb asses , Lambs, and others who are afraid),it's just the music behind it that people are having problems with....and the words do sound a little crammed. This is most likely a rough cut,but you know what I love it.

I like this kind of ballad, i don't bother if sound dated or not. I know it's gonna be success, even if this song didn'd chart the top 10 billboard. I think she will sing even better live! Let's wait!

They have been on top of things as of late. Just my opinion. observation. I really love this song, I do. It sparks emotions that I really don't want to feel and feel. Joe

Because it seems like we got a statement from them really fast after LINL leaked (it's been awhile so maybe i'm wrong on that). Yet all they've done for this one is remove youtube videos

Its so hard to figure out when its an intentional leak or not. I love the song, and I will be satisfied, but like many people are saying, it could be much more. The production just doesn't sit right with me for it to be a finished product, it sounds like Whitney is singing to a karaoke track, and David Foster isn't usually sloppy like that. I guess we will find out if this is the final cut. I guess we'll all find out in 2 months.

Diane Warren's been going around sharing the news for months. Arista allowed it to leak before the holiday and by next week we'll have official word. I really believe this is more about the message: I've been through hell and I survived. Not really radio friendly for 2009 but when's the last time Davd Foster's produced a hit for a diva like Celine Dion. Ballads a'la Foster's style don't really work anymore. Did he produce Leonna Lewis?

He has been handling Whitney for 20+ years and u don't get ths successful on being stupid. Let's let them do their job!

It took a year for Ciara and Keri Hilson to release as they kept pushing back albums due to singles flopping but now Whitney has given us a date, she can't do that as the headlines will be scathing. Also IDKMOS will flop hard in Europe and Whitney needs the European market, traditional ballads are even deader here than they are in the US. So IDKMOS is defintely one for the fans but please give us something radio-friendly as a single.

Whitney Houston: New single shows very little strength July 2, 9:32 PM 8 comments ShareThis RSS Email Print Photo credit: www.theinsider.com Everybody is cheering for Whitney Houston. However, when listening to the new single,"I Didn't Know My Own Strength," one can keep thinking of the word "cliché." The voice is there - thanks possibly to studio trickery - but something seems to be missing. It is quite possible that nothing is missing, but the song sounds like all of her other songs condensed into one. We know Whitney Houston does not write her own songs, but the old Whitney would have had the creative control to not record this song. Maybe we just need another couple listens? The Examiner is fake. The guy is just a Madonna fan that was looking for an audience. And, he's found one amongst diva fans. Wait, for a more legit source like Billboard or Rollingstone

"We Belong Together" was the second single, right?

This album is being released in less than two months and the single needs to be released so it can start to build on radio. I'm led to believe this will be the lead single because if they are going in another direction, they need to get moving! This is the only song that has been leaked and sent to dj's for remixing. Part of me is wondering if we are all just in denial and they aren't putting as much into this comeback as some of us think! What if they have already moved her into Dionne Warwick/Aretha Franklin status and aren't planning this huge comeback we were expecting? Perhaps they aren't focusing on radio-friendly tracks anymore? I just feel like it shouldn't be that hard to find a radio friendly comeback for Whitney...and if they haven't shown us the single yet...it's time to GET MOVING SONY! If they haven't announced the official single by early next week I'll seriously worried.

You know get her on Oprah let her talk, cry, and then belt it out.

If they haven't announced the official single by early next week I'll seriously worried. Based upon the list of producers & songwriters working on this project, I think that they are working on radio-friendly tracks. If it was all Diane Warren, Babyface, David Foster etc etc then I would suspect an AC oriented album but this does not seem to be headed in that direction. Radio in my area is showing Whitney love lately. I just heard "So Emotional" & have been hearing her songs quite often these past few weeks. Looks like stations (AC ones @ least) are ready for her comeback. I Wonder if I Could B Ur Miracle,

Maybe they aren't focusing on radio and are hoping television performances, interviews and buzz sell the album. The longevity of the album will depend on radio though so I hope something radio friendly gets released at some point. Oprah is only good for one week of sales.

They want another MLIYL.

Because even though they seem flat footed on the OFFICIAL news, they are using a slow build up for anticipation. which seems to work. but at the same time, there going too slow. Personality i think the michael jackson thing kinds delayed things either a week or two maybe. With that said there should be NO reason for a album cover and a projected first single news not to happen right now. we should have atleast gotten to that point.
