Two New Tracks On Whitney's Greatest Hits

I know no one here will agree…but I think Whitney Houston birthed (or helped birth) a HORRIBLE trend in female pop singers…that of the “Screaming Mimi”. In other words, the more air you can fill your lungs with and the LOUDER and longer you can hold a note, the better a singer you are. (Just look at the current crop of “talent” shows littering primetime.)

Which is complete and utter nonsense. Make fun of / dismiss Dolly Parton all you want, but her version of “I will always love you” outclasses Ms. Houston’s by miles (I wonder how many people here have even heard her version?). Dolly’s original is more subtle but shows TRUE SINGING, how to use one’s voice in different ways, vibrato, etc. All the remake does is push all the needles into the red with no thought of how it impacted the song. She sang it as loud as possible until it became tortuous.

Sorry, but the truth has to be said. RIP Whitney, but your singing did nothing for me…except give me a headache.

Musto is the ultimate Diana Ross so you need to shut up, as usual.it's possible to like more than one thing.

I know. That's NOT OK.

What? No "It's Not Right (But It's OK)"?!?! That's so not OK.

This will sell like proverbial hotcakes, even without "Susan."

A little too much schlock in there, but I love my Whitney.
