I bought this album in spite of the lukewarm reviews. I was not disappointed, however, Whitney's voice certainly struggled a lot on the high notes. This is not classic Whitney (talentwise), "Saving All My Love for You", "The Bodyguard" soundtrack, etc...Whitney of the 80's/very early 90's or when she made everyone cry when she sang "The National Anthem" at the Superbowl...way back when. But if you love Whitney the artist then you can overlook her career setbacks and appreciate this album which I did.
