Whitney Houston: Did You Forget She Dropped an Album Like, Yesterday?
We all know Whitney Houston. The voice of a generation, belting out classics that still have us reaching for the high notes (and failing miserably) in the shower. But between mastering opera pipes and, well, everything else that happened, some folks might have missed her grand finale.
Hold on, wasn't there a Christmas album?
Yep, there sure was. One Wish in 2003 brought the holiday cheer, but let's be honest, Mariah Carey already owned that territory. This wasn't Whitney's final bow. She craved a return that echoed the epicness of her voice, not just jingle bells and chestnuts roasting.
Enter I Look to You - The Comeback Queen
Flash forward to 2009. Whitney's ready to reclaim her throne. Bold red lips, bold voice, and an album title that says it all: I Look to You. Not to us, her loyal fans (although, hey, we wouldn't mind!), but to the music industry that maybe, just maybe, forgot what a powerhouse she was.
Did it Work? You Betta Believe It!
This wasn't just a comeback, it was a glorious victory lap. I Look to You topped the charts, reminding everyone why Whitney was a legend. We got dance floor anthems like "Million Dollar Bill" (written by the one and only Alicia Keys, no less!), and spine-tingling ballads like the title track.
So next time you think Whitney Houston, don't just think about "I Will Always Love You" (though, let's be real, that song is epic). Remember I Look to You, the album that proved the Queen never lost her crown.
