Source: Singersroom.com By NjaiJoszor | Posted on 01/29/09 | Filed Under: R&B News, Maxwell Now that we’ve covered a few of 2009's most anticipated comeback albums, especially those from T-Boz, Kelly Price and Silk, it’s time for part 2 of ‘Like I Never Left’. Keeping in mind that we’ve got some ways to go, let’s dig right into eight more anticipated releases including the return of entertainment diva Jennifer Lopez and the long-awaited return of Maxwell ! (Click here for Part 1 if you missed it) “On The 6,” “This Is Me... Then,” “Rebirth,” and “Brave” are all albums that have been released since Jennifer Lopez hit the scene in 1999 so it seems fitting, 10 years later, that she release a Greatest Hits album right ? According to Jennifer Lopez and Bryan Michael Cox, who spoke with Singersroom in November, Jennifer Lopez is doing just that. Instead of releasing a normal Greatest Hits project, the former “If You Had My Love” singer is coming strong with a few new singles including

Whitney Houston - Houston Bans Sad Songs

Source: www.contactmusic.com Whitney Houston is so happy, she has refused to record any sad songs for her comeback album, according to collaborator NE-YO. The singer hasn't released a record since her 2003 Christmas offering, One Wish: The Holiday Album. Her last original studio album was Just Whitney, released the same year (03). The vocal superstar is currently working on an LP to relaunch her career, which is expected to hit record stores later this year (09). And R&B star Ne-Yo, who has been helping the star put her new album together, insists it won't feature any downbeat ballads - because of the improvement in Houston's personal life. He says, "People are expecting something fantastic and I think they are going to get it. Whitney doesn't want any sad songs on this record. She isn't going for tear jerkers. She's happy raising her children and wants her music to reflect that. It's already sounding great." Houston endured a messy public divo

90年代初期,Whitney Houston還沒嗑藥過頭、也就是Mariah Carey胸部還是正常人大小的那個年代,行動電話尚未普及,人與人之間聯絡的方式,除了室內電話外,最夯的就是B.B.Call了。 好加在,惠媽已經脫離"毒海".... 咪咪離婚後,衣服越穿越少....XD 在那個Call來Call去,Call成愁的美好年代裡,感謝老天爺~~ 讓我們聽見地表上最美的聲音-Whitney Houston.... 以及讓我們見識到啥叫海豚音-Mariah Carey.... 人際關係這門課,應該是每個人活到老就要學到老的課題。 任何時刻,除了家人的陪伴外。 每個人都需要友情的支持...... 所以囉~~ Anytime You Need A Friend Mariah Carey - Anytime You Need A Friend More Videos 當你失落或感傷時,家人及朋友的安慰.... 則是你走出那無力情緒的良方~~ 這時你會發現..... You'll Never Stand Alone Whitney Houston - You'll Never Stand Alone 朋友之間的相扶持,並非是任何物質所能計量的.... 因為~~ That's What Friends Are For That's What Friends Are For(Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross & Whitney Houston) Lyrics: And I never thought I'd feel this way And as far as I'm concerned I'm glad I got the chance to say That I do believe I love you And if I should ever go away Well, then close your eyes and try to feel The way we do today And then if you can remember Keep smilin', keep shinin' Knowin

Super Bowl Entertainment: Bigger By The Year

Bruce Springsteen follows the infamous Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction, Whitney Houston and Britney Spears. By KATHERINE SMITH | The Tampa Tribune Published: January 28, 2009 It began simply with marching bands. Now, it's not Super Bowl entertainment unless the performer has a couple of Grammy Awards. Productions grow bigger each year, and have not been without a bit of controversy. But there also have been some unbelievable and unforgettable performances. On Sunday, Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson will sing the National Anthem and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform at halftime of Super Bowl XLIII. Does it get any bigger than The Boss?

關於『Do You Think Whitney Houston Can Make a Comeback?』投票調查.

Image
不知道大家還記不記得,Davin我先前做了一個投票調查?! 題目是: Do You Think Whitney Houston Can Make a Comeback? 在96位投票的網友中,投 『Yes,She has natural talent!』 的有82票。 投 『No,She's burnt out!』 的有14票。 在新人輩出的這個年代,惠媽雖已經不是銷量保證。但她的歌聲,對某些人而言(至少對我來說)是無法被取代的.... 雖然這騙子1號和2號,從N百年前,就說全新錄音室專輯即將發行,但年年都讓歌迷的希望落空。沒有新的音樂作品,再加上負面新聞不斷,惠妮迷的心臟如果不是很有力,大概早就回蘇州賣鴨蛋了....XD 這一陣子不斷有消息說惠媽會在2009年的第一季結束前發專輯,另外一說則是說在2009.3發行,但這消息旋即都被唱片公司否認,而且官方一再用惠妮還在錄音中,新專輯發行日期未定的標準制式答案來搪塞。 Whitney Houston.com的聲明稿: Please note that Arista Records has not announced an official release date for the new Whitney Houston album and the information circulating on the internet and in press is erroneous. Whitney is in the studio recording and we will certainly let you know when there is news on a release date to report. Stay tuned and thanks for your support. 至於惠媽今年到底會不會發專輯,我想連老天爺也沒答案...XD 再過幾天Clive pre-Grammy party就要舉行.... 希望屆時,Clive老爹和惠媽,會有新的說法來告知日漸減少的惠妮迷囉....

Whitney Houston現身BET Honors Awards 2009,擔任引言人頒獎給Tyler Perry.... Singer Whitney Houston speaks at the BET Honors Awards in Washington, DC January 17, 2009. 天后架式,驕傲的女獅王! 最近吃太好,腰圍不受控制..... 那錄音室的便當,實在是太好吃了..... 粉底打得不夠再加上沒修片的下場,應該是所有女明星的噩夢吧... 以上是目前所流出來的最新照片,感謝老外網友,去除原圖的浮水印..... 歲月在惠媽身上,留下了痕跡(當然那當初嗑藥及菸抽很大的習慣,也讓這女人的皮膚變化到一定程度..XD)但整體而言,我還是很高興看到健康的惠媽,那嗑藥過頭的鬼樣,希望永遠不會再出現。
