Just Whitney is superstar Whitney Houston's first release since she signed a record - breaking $100 million deal with Arista in 2001. The disc features "Whatchulookinat," penned by Houston's husband and former "king of R&B" Bobby Brown, and "One of Those Days," produced by Kevin "Sha'kspere" Briggs.

Whitney is good ole' Whitney
Regardless of the many trials and tribulations Whitney has endured, she reigns as the ultimate Queen of Song.

Whitney Elizabeth Houston is Back!!!!
Just Whitney is the a highly anticipated album. Oh! One of Those Days is number 1 on the radio. Proving that the other divas have nothing on her.

A listener, fan of Whitney Houston

After "My love..." we fans couldn't wait and see where Whitney would drive the R&B music scene with her great voice. Now we're less than a month away fton "Just Whitney" and from the 2 first samples...things are looking really good! A listener (thanasis18@hotmail.com)

Not Her Best, But Still Pretty Good
JUST WHITNEY showcases the songbird in a more old-school r&b setting with great results. Highlights of this set include the sassy "One of Those Days" (which creatively samples the Isley Brothers' "Between The Sheets"), the Missy Elliott-produced "Things You Say", "Unashamed", "Love That Man" (argubally the best dance song Whitney has done although it's too short at 3:28 ), and "My Love" (Bobby Brown's vocal is a pleasant surprise. Who'd have thought that he could sing with so much passion and soul!). The album isn't perfect due to the inclusion of "You Light Up My Life" (do we really need another remake of that song?), and the whiny "Whatchulookinat". "Try It On My Own" and "Tell Me No" have good ideas, but they end up sounding like something from those "find-your-dream" movies of the 1980s (i.e. "Fame", "Flashdance")despite Whitney's always stellar vocal performances. And the album's brief time (39 minutes) leaves one wanting just a little bit more music (at least 49 to 50 minutes worth). Overall, the album deserves a solid "B" grade.
