Ok, this NEEDS its own thread. I copied and pasted it from the chart thread so people wouldn't miss this. SOOO much info to discuss. Again, nothing
confirmed, but MUCH to chew on.
1- Whitney Houston's album is COMPLETED and will be entitled Undefeated.
2- Artwork direction is currently being finalized.
3- Photographs and artwork will be done by David LaChepelle.
4- The rumour about a Whitney / Alicia Keys duet is actually true.
5- J- Records is contemplating a mid-December release, possibly December 16th, and the lead single may be released next week if the label sticks to a December 16th release. If they change the release date, it will be no later than February 2009, pre-Valentine's.
6- The lead single has already been selected, and it's called Undefeated.
7- Like I Never Left WILL be on the album, but Whitney's vocals were re-recorded with her in better voice, and more horns and a modulation were added. What was leaked was her demo vocal (some call it scratch vocal).
8- The label has identifed five singles fom the album, and is releasing five videos from the album.
9- A Whitney Houston television special and tour are both in the planning stages.
10- They have already agreed to give Oprah the rights to the first interview and it will be a Prime-Time Whitney release party for two hours with interviews, performances and tributes.
11- There will be a follow-up interview with Dianne Sawyer.
12- There is a song on the album that haseveryone in the entire BMG group raving, and is expected to be a classic, monster of a hit.
13- A collaboration with Michael Jackson is being considered (written and produced by R. Kelly, so I'm assuming it's you-know-what-song!!!)
I'm going to see the gentleman who gave me this info in a few days, and he promised to bring me some of the songs on his MP3 player for me to hear, but he REFUSED to email them, but I heard one over the phone and all I can say is GO DIANNE WARREN GO!!!!!
Let's see if he was right or if he was bullshitting me, but he's never done that before....!
