Whitney Houston - Greatest Hits 2000 (2CD)

Expansive double-CD collection from the erstwhile queen of pop RnB, featuring one disc of her smooth romantic ballads and one of her more upbeat, danceable numbers, including tracks from her 'My Love Is Your Love' album and the infamous disco remixes of 'I Will Always Love You' and 'The Greatest Love Of All'.

Without doubt, Whitney Houston is the greatest diva to emerge in the music industry, depsite being labelled as a controversial figure due to unwanted publicity surrounding her personal life. She is in a different league compared to great divas of the callibre as in Madonna, Diana Ross, Tina Turner and Cher.

Her album Greatest Hits by Whitney Houston is a contribution of her musical talents, abilities and skills she has provided to the music industry. She should be judged purely on that aspect of her life. The album comprises two discs, which include a host of memorable hits from the 80;s and 90's which include I don't wanna to dance, Saving All My Love For You, Greatest Love Of All, One moment in time, I will always love you and many more. I really enjoyed listening to the tracks. I have to admit I am really impressed by her 80's tracks, which really launched her self into the music industry, but 90's tracks are not bad at all.

Overall, the album is great and one of my favourites Divas of all time. If you love soul and pop music at its sheer best, then this album I would download and you will not be dissapointed at all.

Amazon.co.uk Review
For an artist who only released four proper albums in a 15-year career, it's astounding to recall how many hits Whitney Houston was able to achieve. The two CDs on Greatest Hits track Houston's rise from mid-1980s hit machine balladeer to standard-setting diva. Disc 1, CoolDown, runs chronologically through Houston's down-tempo love songs, from "Saving All My Love For You" and "I Will Always Love You" to the cleverly conceived new duet with Deborah Cox, "Same Script, Different Cast". She's also showcased as the remixee of choice for DJs on the second disc, Throw Down, which serves as the antidote to the lovesick first disc. Calling in marquee mix masters, Houston's old-shoe tunes get a new millennium polish. "My Love Is Your Love", reinterpreted by Jonathan Peters, captures the versatility of Houston's songs by making the downbeats danceable without going totally Euro-cheese. In contrast, Junior Vasquez's remix of 1985's "How Will I Know" pokes fun at the song's 1980s fluffiness by layering in bells, lasers effects, and echoes on top of Whitney's enthusiastic vocals. --Heidi Sherman
