Whitney eyes her comeback September 20, 2006 -- If all goes as Clive Davis plans, Whitney Houston will release an album, with new material by early next year. "We are reviewing material right now," Davis told us. And while Houston is not ready to sing solo at the Carousel Ball of Hope in October - she "would accompany me," Davis said - she could make her big comeback at his famed Grammy party next year. "It is too early to say if Whitney is going to perform, but I would hope she would be in the running," Davis added. "She looks radiant and is clearly together." As for rumors that Houston has lost some of her vocal range, Davis said, "She is talking enthusiastically and is articulate. We are going to make a great album. In my opinion, the best singers in the world are Aretha [Franklin] and Whitney. That's not to knock Mariah [Carey]. Mariah is a friend of mine, but I think Mariah would even say those two are the best." Davis - who is credited by Us Weekly with getting Houston to rehab and hiring addiction counselors for the singer - refused to comment on her split with Bobby Brown, but admitted friends and family were relieved to see Houston in such fine form at the Society of Singers tribute to Johnny Mathis last month.

GLOWING WHITNEY PRIMED TO MAKE HER SOUL COMEBACK Before there was Mariah or Mary J Blige, Whitney Houston was the music world's uncontested number one soul diva. And recently the Grammy-winning singer revealed plans to get back in the recording studio. At a music industry shindig this week Whitney seemed to be glowing with anticipation over what will be her first album in three years. Chic in a sexy satin top and black trousers, the songstress looked in good shape for a comeback. Six songs have been lined up for her to record and music bosses are confident the material will go down a treat with fans despite her recent well-publicised troubles. Whitney was accompanied by Clive Davis, the legendary producer who has masterminded her career since the early days. He was quick to reassure fans the new disc will stay true to her famous style rather than focus on a flashy reinvention. "Whitney is Whitney and there's nobody like her," he proclaimed. "It'll be Whitney, not somebody reaching for a current trend, that's for sure."

I've added new file to video section, you can download file from French program Les Annes in 1999 where Whitney sang Heartbreak Hotel and My Love Is Your Love. Thank you Jenny =) There are two new section at just-whitney.com, hair styles, and chronology. Hope you like them ;-) J Records honcho Clive Davis promises that a new album from Whitney Houston is in the works, explaining that they're currently working on songs together and have already picked out six that she'll record. But don't expect Whitney to change the way she works or her creative style for her comeback album — she won't be writing, and she won't be doing anything that her producers say could be musically groundbreaking. "Whitney doesn't write," Davis said. "It's a gift — you either got it or you don't. I've seen more artists lose a career over trying to do that. Ella Fitzgerald didn't write. Lena Horne didn't write. Whitney is Whitney, and there ain't nobody like her. It'll be Whitney. It won't be somebody reaching for a current trend, that's for sure." Davis said they'll be heading to the studio in a few weeks. ...MTV.COM In August issue of National Enquier there is new Whitney picture.

Thank you girl =) Whitney recently spotted in Tennessee Yes, that was, indeed, Whitney Houston Sunday at Cheesecake Factory in Green Hills. But that wasn't the only Nashville eatery Whitney enjoyed. She and some friends also went to Pancake Pantry, where they got some VIP treatment and were able to bypass that long weekend line. Whitney, in black sweater set with a white polka dot skirt and black heels, went there right after going to the 9 a.m. service at the big ol' Born Again Church on Trinity Lane with her buddy CeCe Winans. "CeCe and Whitney are longtime friends.Whitney is simply in town spending time with a friend," CeCe publicist Erma Byrd e-mailed me. "No recordings or business dealings, just friends spending time together." Indeed, folks at Born Again Church also said Whitney has been there before with CeCe.
