On the flipside, IF Whitney were to record this song, everybody and there momma would be saying "Oh she's taking about Bobby" or "She wants
to get back with Bobby". I like the song, but I just don't know. You know how some people are.
Whitney Houston:
Classic Whitney
Consideration,
Respect, Moderation, Whitney.

Maybe Whitney HAS felt that about Bobby and that is probably why she could sing the CRAP out of it! They have both moved on, I'm not worried about people
wondering who she is singing about. Only hardcore fans think about who WHITNEY sings about. Most people just listen to a song and figure out how it relates to
THEM.

Whitney needs to have people talk about the tracks on the album. A song like this will have people speculating, creates a buzz! I just want her to sing!

...this def fits Whitney's "raw" edge, as of late. You all know she has a way of turning obscure songs into POP anthems.
Im imagining her performing this in the vein of the LOVERMAN, MY MAN performance from BB awards 1991. Cry To Me lends itself to that big band/orchestra sound. But it would be a great departure if she did it in a "stripped down" manner..ala..."Yes" from MLIYL album. Rumor or not... its a good song. |

..and to whomever mentioned Whitney adopting the "Amy Whinehouse sound"...i second that. Mark Ronson is no joke...i hope he gets on this disc.
Whitney, even in her darker times, has this "polished" quality to her vocal. She tries to hide it with runs and extra stuff, but the classical
influence is always evident.
So, again, Im imagining: polished vocals combined with raw production...could be magic. MLIYL was a step in this direction..except the voice was raw and the music was polished... Just a thought. |

I guess on second thought, Cry to Me would be a great song for Whitney to record, as you mentioned JP, it would create buzz. Just like Usher's Confessions
CD, there was a lot of buzz about some of his songs, before they were even released and he sold 1 million copies the first week.

Brilliant choice! This is why I'm glad they're taking their time on this album. The more they refine, the shinier the diamond gets. If Whitney and
Clive can pull off a great "whitney houston" classic album with a modern twist then this fan will be over the moon. Someone mentioned Amy
Winehouse....Amy's sound owes a huge debt of gratitude to the likes of 60s singers like Cissy Houston, Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield,etc.....So OF
COURSE Whitney should record with her relatives as that is her LINEAGE. Whitney is the true heir to 60s girl singers, NOT Amy or Duffy.
