Whitney: Track-By-Track Review
I never posted a full on review about this album, so i thin a track-by-track review will do it justice.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody(Who Loves Me)-10/10
Billboard deemed this one of the greatest pop songs of all time- and does Billboard lie? Hardly honeys! So when i say this song is easily among Whitney's best, im not lying. Its a popular opinion.
Just the Lonely Talking Again-7.7/10
A 7 is just above average. An 8 is amazing. So to put this song as a 7.7, i mean its better than some songs off the album, but compared to others, its blands. Whitney tries a more "soulful" and "sexy" approach with this one, and for some reason, i find it a bit of a reach.
Love Will Save the Day-6/10
The beginning really kills it. She makes this sound so dated, its too much. I mean, its cute, but if I was like @Vilppu , this would have gotten a 5-maximum.
Didnt We Almost Have It All-10/10
A beautiful adult contemporary tune, i love this production and the lyrics are endearing. And the conviction and power in her voice remains unmatched. She sounds so raw and true towards the end, it deserves a place in her top 15 songs, seriously.
So Emotional-9.6/10
This is a bop. Like her high notes on this are incredible.
Where You Are-6.8/10
Sounds like a watered-down version of Saving All My Love For You.
Love Is a Contact Sport-5.6/10
George Michael-sounding song, it just seems like plain filler. Like im just not here for it.
You'e Still My Man-8/10
Now that im bothering to listen to it, its a great ballad. Her voice is very strong here.
For the Love of You-6/10
The track sounds too typical. No wonder it didnt win its Grammy nomination in 1988.
Where Do Broken Hearts-10/10
Feels so god to type in 10/10 fo a song that remains one of Whitney's most moving songs. I can here the hope in her voice as if she really mean t the words he was saying. You never know, she probably did.
I Know Him So Well(ft. Cissy Houston)-10/10
Im not the biggest fan of her mom's voice. There's a shaky quality to it that contrast a bit too sharply with Whitney's voice. yet they togethor make the track sounded a million times better than the bland original. One of Whitney's best duets.
Aggregate Score:8.154
