Album Description
2007 UK single-disc collection from the R&B and Pop vocalist, one of the biggest, and best-selling, female artists of all time. She's broken countless records throughout her career, has had consistent success in music and in film, since her debut single "Saving All My Love For You" in 1985. Her music combined big adult ballads with stylish pop and slick contemporary urban soul and her voice is a benchmark that has not since been equaled. This 18 track compilation features her absolute best hits including 'I Will Always Love You', 'Greatest Love Of All', 'Exhale (Shoop Shoop)', 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', 'Saving All My Love For You' and many more. The previous Greatest Hits collection was a two CD set that featured remixes and more, but this single-disc collection offers the cream of the crop! Sony/BMG.

 Simply, Whitney October 30, 2007

While the past several years, the hype has been about more of the bad girls like the sleezy Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, we often really do forget about what has made our influences really shine, and that is just simply the voice. That is sadly the case as well with Whitney Houston. This past couple of years has been difficult for her, with the heartbreaking divorce of her ex-husband, Bobby Brown, and the tabloid fallout over her her personal problems, she is still coming back on solid ground, and her voice is still a knockout. But, in the U.S., there hasn't been a definitive hits album that has shown Whitney at her peaks. While the 2000 The Greatest Hits, had missed out on a lot of tracks, by choosing to make remixes come alive of most of her great songs, instead of the original editions, but the overseas version delivered better by not overdoing it on the remixes. Now, another chance has come around to bring this legendary voice back to a new era and the hearts of those who will still always love her.
The 2007 Whitney Houston: Ultimate Collection is a single disc retrospective of Whitney Houston at her best. The collection includes 18 of her great tracks that are definitely most of the best, but also does the trick mostly well, at re-introducing her sophisticated voice to a new generation. The collection includes her big #1 smashes including the definitive I Will Always Love You, One Moment In Time, her anthem for the 1988 Summer Olympics, as well as classics like Saving All My Love For You, The Greatest Love Of All, and and Exhale (Shoop Shoop) from Waiting To Exhale. The album also includes the overlooked When You Believe, her Oscar-winning duet with Mariah Carey from The Prince Of Egypt, which was overshadowed from her previous hits album. Surprisingly, there were a few great tracks that were sadly overlooked on this album including her breakout hit You Give Good Love, Heartbreak Hotel, I Believe In You & Me and Step By Step from The Preacher's Wife, All The Man That I Need, and One Of Those Days from her last album, Just Whitney.
Although Whitney Houston: The Ultimate Collection did overlook a few great songs, it stayed true and relevant at delivering a simple greatest hits album than the 2000 one, by trimming the dance beats, and staying true to just the simplicity of Whitney Houston's voice. While more of the hype right now is on acts like Britney Spears and her so-called comeback Blackout, Beyonce' and Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Houston's songs stand strong with the testiments of time, and this hits album does basically show that well.

Finally!! April 17, 2008

Finally! Whitney Houston decides to release an Ulitmate Collection of her greatest hit songs. I know she released her Greatest Hits package back in 2000, but we all know that was tragic. With all the remixes of her great songs. Now with this collection, it has all the original songs and all are remastered. Who can ever forget this woman, with her amazing voice. I've been there with her from the start with 1985's "You Give Good Love". Now the last 2 albums she has released "Just Whitney" and "One Wish", were not up to her standards. I am glad she did not include any tracks from those albums on this collection. The only flaw I have to this album is that it is missing a few Ultimate Hits, like "You Give Good Love" #3 hit,"All The Man I Need" #1 hit,"Miracle" #9 hit,"Heartbreak Hotel" #2 hit,"Love Will Save The Day" #9 hit,"My Name Is Not Susan" #20 hit,"I Believe In You & Me" #4 hit,"Step By Step" #15 hit,and "Count On Me" #8 hit. Besides those songs missing, this is an Ultimate collection by the one and only Whitney Houston. I recommend this album to you!
"How Will I Know" Remastered!!!! Enough reason to buy this CD. June 20, 2008

The ONLY reason I bought this CD, as I already have ALL of Whitney Houston's better albums on CD, was for the remastering of "How Will I Know", the GREATEST POP SONG............EVER!!!!! However, after giving the full CD a listen, I was more than happy to have the entire CD. All of her great songs from back in the 80's and early 90's are included here and, there are no stupid remixes that take away from the song itself. The only exception to that rule is "I'm Your Baby Tonight" which, I believe, is a bit different from the original. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with the newer mix, it's EXCELLENT, much better than the original version. So, if you're like many people who have her Double-Disc Greatest Hits CD that included the AWFUL remixes which RUINED the songs, pick this up. The songs are crisp, clear, and filled with the energy and that amazing voice which has made Whitney Houston one of the greatest singers of ALL TIME.

This CD has all of Whitney's popular songs that made her famous. There's not one song here that is not worth listening to. All of the songs on this CD is quality made. This is definitely one of my favorite CDs. Well worth the buy.
