And it's beautifully stated on the album. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. Did you know that, Christie.It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really.
I've always liked Whitney Houston's music and was happy when I came across this CD, but I as soon as I listened to it I was disappointed. Buy the Body Guard soundtrack instead of this one. All this CD is is a couple of songs from her early days and the Body Guard soundtrack with some remixes. "That's it." was all I could say.
She may have endured a lot of personal struggles but we shouldn't forget all of the great work she has done over the years. I recommend getting the European version of this collection (Whitney Houston: The Greatest Hits). The decision to not even include the original versions of her biggest up-tempo hits, and to instead to put remixes is just ridiculous and nothing more than an attempt to get people to go and buy her studio albums in addition to this collection. It would be great if they had a third disc that was dedicated to the remixes (which don't get me wrong, are for the most part decent) and then still had the second disc keeping the songs in their original form. I gave this CD 2 stars because besides the MASSIVE omissions, it still showcases Whitney, who in my opinion is the greatest singer in pop history. Her voice is breathtaking and certainly in a league of it's own. The following hits are NOT in there regular form and instead, are remixed:-It's Not Right But It's Okay-I Learned From the Best-Step by Step-I'm Every Woman -Queen of the Night-Love Will Save the Day-I'm Your Baby Tonight -I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) -How Will I Know-So EmotionalHow could they call this a greatest hits collection when the hit versions of these songs are not even on here. And the mix of "Love Will Save The Day" isn't dramatically different from the album version and it's actually better.
It's a little pricey but it contains all of the original versions of the aforementioned hits (sans `Queen of the night" - which is still in remix mode) and also contains 4 of the remixes ("It's Not Right, But It's Okay", "I Will Always Love You", "Greatest Love Of All" and "I'm Your Baby Tonight"). She really can sing anything and tailor her amazing voice to basically any genre. I'm not sure who came up with the track-listing for this collection (it could've been Whitney, Clive or anyone else at Arista) but this is a huge disservice to Whitney's fans in North America. "It's Not Right but It's Okay" is an exception because the Thunderpuss remix did eclipse the original version. That is how it should've been in every continent.
The cd is very good condition. It's good seller. I'm happy to buy this item from this seller because it's a good price and quality
Well will give them until April 1st. I think 5 weeks is ample time to deliver product. I am still waiting on my CD.have emailed several times reply was.had recently moved, computers were down and "Wow thought that it had been mailed". Just starting on Amazon would think they would "try" to make your first purchase a good one.
