If Sparkle indeed wraps up shooting before the holidays, Whitney would have a lot of time in between when it's time to start promoting the film. Whitney will do a soundtrack for Sparkle and most likely a soundtrack for GTH which should go into production next year. There's no way Whitney would do a studio album in addition to these 2 movies/soundtracks, this would be insane. She's gonna try to pace herself and take her time with each project. Also I think after ILTY, and the tour where she struggled vocally, she's not ready to go into that right now... Add the fact that radio has made it clear for at least 10 years that they aren't playing her next to the youngsters (just like many older divas) so her potential is turning gold/platinium. The music industry is dead anyways so even with a hit single, turning multi-platinium would still be very hard. That's why she's doing movies which has way more potential for her as the movie industry is still doing well, and that way she doesn't have to perform often as she can record a few songs here and there. I think it's the perfect combo for her right now because she's still in the spotlight with movies but isn't totally abandonning music and will do some songs... But with movies and soundtrack songs, she won't have to necessarly tour. Maybe a few years from now, her voice will get stronger and have consistancy, so that she's able to do a full studio album with a full tour, performances, etc. But it's not a good idea to rush an album right now sounding like the ILTY tour... Whitney is older now and she's not gonna do projects year after year, she could have easily released an album early this year before Sparkle, but she's pacing herself and it's better like that.

She won't be recording a lot of material for these soundtracks unless there is something we don't know about yet. It is unlikely she will have more than 5 new songs total on these two soundtracks combined. I would love for her to go in the studio after "Sparkle" wraps and have her own studio album to promote when "Sparkle" hits theaters for some cross-promotion. Especially since Whitney doesn't seem interested in doing promo tours on tv these days.

She could get away with a few performances here and there tv a couple of concerts. I think its what she wants to do she wants some hot new hits off a Hot studio album I think it didnt happen because Clive postponed it until her voice was better. I think it would be perfect after Sparkle before GTH.

A lot of hardwork... So she will have to prepare herself for a longtime for that role, not to mention that next year in addition to preparing for GTH she will have to promote Sparkle. I really don't see when she will have time to make a full studio album, with music videos, promotion, tours, appearances, in between... If you tell me GTH won't be ready before 2014 then I'd say maybe yeah, but so far according to Terry and Angela, things will start picking up early next year... So really there's no time... Also after the tour, Whitney had a big rest and then returned singing with Dionne and she didn't sound great, we all had high hopes... I think it will take a lot more time, maybe now that we hear that she quit smoking as Clive said, we will see progress, but it won't be quick, it will take a few years... Maybe after Sparkle and GTH, she can comeback to us with a great voice and a great new album, but there's no time in between those 2 projects to set up a proper album, and frankly I think it's too early she's not ready yet especially after a recent tour where people complained.

If she really is only doing a few songs for "Sparkle" and they are gospel songs at that, then she definitely can do a studio album. Trust and believe Jordin Sparks is going to be working on an album to benefit from the "Sparkle" exposure. And truth be told, although it may be nice, we haven't even heard anything about a GTH soundtrack, of course it's still early, but who is say that there will even be one.

It looks like it will be a tv movie though... However Craig Zadan is envolved and he worked with Whitney on Cinderella so I have a feeling that she will be approached... Anyways just thought I'd mention it since we talk a lot about black movies especially in the wake of the upcoming Sparkle and GTH... This one definitely has a lot of potential roles for Whitney... http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2011/10/steel-magnolias-to-get-a-remake/

Diamond Posts: 5524 Oct 13 11 1:09 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	But frankly now that I think about it, I think it's best for Whitney to not be part of it and choose a bigger and more mainstream role after Sparkle/GTH and not limit herself to being always cast like this.. But I'm pretty sure she will be approached...

The director who is directing Angela Bassett and Samuel Jackson right now in the broadway play, 'MountainTop' will also be the director for 'Steel Magnolias'. It's amazing the small degrees of separation between the 'elite' black actress/directors. They all seem to have worked together. If what Kim Burrell said to that person is 100% accurate (so far she's been correct), Whitney signed on for 2 pictures but not 'Happy' yet. If that is still correct, I wonder what the 3rd pic will be.

Not going to happen. Be realistic about how time consuming these films will be in terms or promotion and Whitney's work ethic. No way in hell will there be a studio album.

Diamond Posts: 11425 Oct 14 11 2:02 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	It's very realistic to expect her to work on the 2 films, and the soundtrack. All bets are off regarding studio cd and it has nothing to do with work ethic imo but more to do with time and cannibalization of whatever product she has out at the time and short product life if she has too much stuff out which will result in lessening of returns. I see it this way: 1.Sparkle- shooting Oct 10 to Nov 18th, 2011 Released around Oct/Nov 2012 2. Work on Sparkle sndtrack- probably 2-3 songs-Oct to Dec 2011- released around Sept/Oct 2012 3. Getting to Happy - filmed around April-June 2012 Released around Mother's day 2013- initially I thought holiday 2012 but Terry isn't finished with the script, it hasn't been approved by the studio- Angela Bassett may work on the film for her directorial debut around Feb/April or so of 2012 4. Happy sound track - worked on summer of 2012 Released around March/April 2013 5. I don't see the time available to release a studio cd when she will have 2 movies out and songs on both soundtrack. At the earliest I see a studio cd around 2013 but all of this is subject to change. At one point we weren't even sure she would be doing 2 movies.We were focused on just 'Happy' and look how that turned out. If Sparkle does well like I thik, Fox studios just for the initial reaction from pre-production and film will really want to get this film out.

I'm not ragging on her, but come on, no way in hell will she record a studio album immediately after 2 movies and soundtrack work. She's going to promote the films and her response to "when will you record again?" will be something along the lines of ... "I just finished 2 films and recorded some tracks for the soundtracks, I'm taking some time off to raise my daughter/help with her career/read some books, etc" I swear, I'll be the happiest if she makes me eat my words ... but never happening.

Well it sure sounds like you are carrying that same 'ragging' stick ( lazy) to me. We all know that Whitney Houston has worked a lot less in this last decade there are clear reasons why at this point. Whitney worked even when she was carrying a child actually several times when she was carrying a child, but for more than a decade and half Whitney was working many under the table. Check the facts then come back to me with more nonsense, i don't mean to rag you. It does not matter to me if Whitney does two movie and 6 songs or an entire studio album. Now a days an album is what 9 to 12 songs at most. Some of those songs could come from the soundtracks or not at all. What I continue to find funny from some corners is the idea that Whitney is somehow suppose to now what to work all the time like she did when she was 28? Explain to me what would be the reason to work like that anymore? Other than younger ( like Rhianna) stars now who releases an album every couple of years? Please tell me?

First of all no need to get nasty. I wasnt spewing nonsense, and you pretty much backed up my point ... Yes, for about a decade, over a decade ago, she worked non stop ... but she isn't in her 20's, and there ISNT a reason to work like that any more, and she DOESNT. So what exactly did I say that you do not agree with?? She's going to do 2 films, great. Do some work on both soundtrack, great again, but she wont be immediately dropping a studio album.
