Advantages: GREAT VOCALS , LOVELY SONGS FROM A YOUNG WHITNEY Disadvantages: Not enough dance songs
...I am a massive Whitney Houston fan.
My first Whitney album was the Bodyguard back in 1992, And since then i fell in love with her magnificent voice.
I have now got all of her albums!!!!
This album Whitney , has so many good classic Whitney songs on it. My fave is I Wanna Dance With Somebody. The other well known hits include So Emotional, Love will Save The Day,Where do Broken Hearts go and Didnt We almost Have it all............

Advantages: Upbeat, good mix, strong vocal range Disadvantages: Couldn't follow up her early success
...Another golden oldie that I'd completely forgotten about until my partner began playing it in her car one day.
Zoe was a one hit wonder from about 9 years ago, with the Top 10 hit, Sunshine on a RainyDay, which was a big brassy rock ballad that beamed so much energy & optimism that you felt it could actually lift anyone's spirits.

Tracks like Mountains, Moonsister & Smile in the Darkness were radical departures from the more easily accessable stuff such as Sunshine on a RainyDay. And that's probably why her career never really took off the way it should have...
