So, today’s the day Whitney Houston gets to see how the public really feels about her comeback. Her new CD I Look To You ($12.98) hits store shelves today. (I’m sure some of her diehard fans took advantage of the pre-order deals by QVC and others.) Although its clear that Clive Davis and company were hoping to find another “I Will Always Love You” since they stacked the deck with ballads, her faster tracks like “Million Dollar Bill” are the ones that make me smile. I think it’s gutsy that she redid the Donny Hathaway hit, ”A Song For You”, but I applaud her for giving it a contemporary edge that doesn’t really invite comparisons. But I really think that we’re all are waiting to see Whitney does live and we won’t have to wait long. Tomorrow she performs live in Central Park for Good Morning America. Set those DVRs.
