LOL.. I wasn't asking for you to agree necessarily. The clock is wrong. It's not something you can disagree or agree with. It's simple math here.
It just bugs me that her official site has inaccurate information. Wasn't meant to be a cause for division. Really it's not that serious. But the
person who set the countdown did it incorrectly. Unless everyone wants to assume that the new project will be released at noon on Setp.1st. I guarantee that
countdown will be updated before the release date. But if you don't even recognize that it's off now, you probably won't even realize that it's
been updated.
GospelArtist, I'm baffled as to who was proven wrong. If you're speaking of me being wrong about the clock, then obviously you don't get it either. Honestly, not that serious. Not trying to cause an uproar. But plain and simple, the clock is incorrect. |

I tell you what. To make it EASY for you. Look at her countdown at 11:59 pm tonight. At that point tonight the clock should say there is 62 Days. When you see
that it still reads 62 days and 12 hours you will understand EXACTLY what I'm saying.........I hope!

How many albums sales do you honestly think will be lost because the clock is set for noon instead of midnight? You really think people are going to go to the
website and decide they aren't buying the new Whitney album because they think they can't get it until noon? Who cares.

Okay i'm going to chime in. I think you are basing this on them starting the clock at 00:00am on the day they made the announcement of the album. But it
appears that the clock started at the time of the announce which is somewhere between 0800-0900 pacific coast time or 1200 easernt standard time. Therefore the
hours seem off to you because you are basing it on the clock starting a midnight.
If that is the case the clock would read approximately 62day/4hours / 21minutes. I maybe wrong but thats what I think has happened. |

DD wrote: DD, of course I don't think that. But I guess nothing can be said for accuracy and professionalism anymore. I just feel that it should be correct. Why would it be "ok" to be incorrect. That's just like if her name was misspelled on her website, I hope you guys wouldn't be satisfied with that. Again, the counter is wrong. It should be corrected. If Mariah, Beyonce or any of the other rival sites had inaccurate info posted this board would be jumping about how lame or "ghetto" the site was because they couldn't even get the info straight. sgore, you've made a correct assumption in that time should have started at 00:00am. That's official time. That's how it should start. A new day starts at midnight. How else would you start it for a release day? Whitney's cd will be available at 12:00 midnight on September 1st. NOT 12:00 noon as the countdown suggests. Small thing in the large scheme of things, but so are most things that we discuss on here. I've witnessed much more trivial discussions for sure. |

Vektor V wrote: VektorV, It is humorous I suppose because there shouldn't be an argument. I simply stated it was wrong and asked why the clock couldn't be corrected. Don't know what ignited the fury. I guess it's because others initially said it was correct, but once they realized they were wrong it became a "who cares" situation. It really was nothing to debate about. It was merely an observation that I wondered why no one else had picked up on. I had no idea it would ignite such fervor in some people. |

SOULESQUE, I will say it again you would be CORRECT if the countdown started at midnight (1200am) on June 4, 2009 (check date) Unfortunately, it didn't
start until the the release date was announced to the press. That is why it seems off. And no they are not taking into account stores like Super Wal-Mart that
are open 24hr. Correct me if I am wrong.

EVERYBODY SHUT THE 'CK UP. 2 pages discussing a damn clock. On Sept. 1st the new Whitney Album will be available. If you want to go to Wal mart at 12:01
a.m. or at 12:00 p.m. it really doesn't matter. Move on people.

rainshower1 wrote: rainshower. It wasn't a matter of me having to "sit there and calculate." Apparently it would've taken you some time to calculate. I recognized it instantly (no belabored calculation necessary to see that a clock is off by 12 hours). You could really let it die if it's so ridiculous, but instead you chose to chime in. It only seems ridiculous to those who can't seem to grasp the concept of "official time." I really don't know how this is turning back on me being ridiculous for making an observation. Remember there were others who incorrectly disagreed. One thing that's true about me... I RARELY post anything that can't be supported by the facts. I'm very thorough and meticulous in my approach to life in general. If I say it, chances are I know what I'm talking about. If you challenge me, don't get defensive when I shut you down with the facts to prove my original statement. By the same token, if I were wrong I would acknowledge and move on. I wouldn't go on the defensive. I realize that the "well who cares" and "you're ridiculous" comments are defense mechanisms. It's ok. Everyone likes to save face (even when it's too late). Again gang, I didn't intend for this to be a debate. I made an observation that several people disagreed with. I was basically forced to prove that I can do simple math...lol, and I, hopefully, made others realize the clock was wrong. Enjoy life and be merry. Go pick up your CD at 12 noon on the 1st of September (a light hearted joke of course). |
