This new album from the diva is great! it has the uptempo songs, the ballads, the sweet midtempo songs- and one singer with a hell of a voice!!! from start to finish- it's a delight to hear her singing through the cool beats and melodies!
1. whatchulookinat?- i love this song! when it was released though i didn't think much of it, but then it grew on me- and i simply adore the song!!!
2. tell me no- great! i think now, that it should have been the 1st single. very strong.
3. one of those days- her new single- very sweet and relaxing.
4. things you say- a missy elliott song, with tweet backing up the vocals- nice slower song, and if you liked it you should pick up tweet's debut cuz it has pretty much the same sound.
5. my love- cool pop song with her hubby.
6. love that man- another nice pop song. nice vocals!
7. on my own- great ballad!!! the chorus start off exactly like "i will always love you" though, but really- a single for sure!
8. dear john letter- very cool song. like the end...
9. unashames- another great uptempo ballad- very strong too. i like the beat alot!
10. you light up my life- a cover beautifully coverd by whitney! great ballad, with even greater vocals.
11. whatchulookinat? remix- the remix is even hotter than the original- the bridge in it is off da hook, for real!!! love it. cool job diddy...

that's it. i'm just upset it doesn't have more songs, but i guess things like that, the term "short but sweet" ,was made up for!

Those of us who use Amazon review to vent your anger of Whitneys personal life,shame on you.This cd is about Music great excellent music...obviously,she is not at the top of her game but one hateful Star,please.Some American artist are more popular in Asia and Europe because the emphasis is on the quality of the music not the character of the artist.

I love Whitney Houston. I really think she is one of the world's greatest singers of all time. After the incredible "my Love Is Your Love" she's had her highs and her lows in both her musical and personal life. Her voice has never sounded better, and the music on this album is just great. The opening number and first single "One of Those Days" is a great feel-good single which was popular on the R&B charts but not so much on the Pop charts. it's so much fun to dance to and her voice really shines. Fans of Carlos Santana will like "Tell Me No" because he does backup guitars and a long intense solo at the end. Kandi Buruss also co-wrote this song and it is very unique. I love Missy Elliot and the fact that she works with whitney. "Things You Say" is beautiful and shows off her lower range as well. Fans of Former New Edition member and huaband to Whitney Bobby Brown will like "My Love" which is a cute little ballad. I love the song "Love That Man" because it's so fun and bouncy. I'd have to say my favorite song is a tie between the beautiful ballad (produced by Babyface) "Try It On My Own" and the great lyric-wise number "Unshamed." Another highlight is a one-of-a-kind remake of "You Light Up My Life." I also like the single "Whatchulookinat." Overall, any fan of Whitney should get this album. My only complaint is that there are only TEN tracks on it. I think the company must have rushed her into releasing it. Whatever the reason is, I still reccomend "Just Whitney'" to Pop and R&B fans. Overall grade: A-

It bites that critics basicly made this album sound [terrible] which stupidly put me off from buying it. Well, after hearing the incredible ballad "Try It On My Own," I finally gave in and purchased it. It's definitely not a disappointment. In fact, I prefer it to "My Love Is Your Love."

The album opens with the decent R&B jam "One Of Those Days" which was a minor hit, but should've at least have been a top 40 hit. A great kick-back track. I also enjoy the fiery R&B songs "Tell Me No" and "Dear John Letter." And I don't care what anyone says about "Whatchulookinat." This song is awesome. Very catchy and very cool. Like OOTD's, it should've been a bigger hit. Now, "You Light Up My Life" is probably one of the simplest yet most beautiful ballads ever written. Whitney could've brought down the house with this song, but she resorts too much to vocal gymnastics and it just brings down the quality of the song. It's not meant for that. If she sang it straight, it'd be amazing. The real star of Just Whitney is "Try It On My Own." The first time I heard it on the radio, I thought it had to be an old-school Whitney song, but I knew it wasn't on her GH's album. I was shocked to find out it was on here. This song definitely brings classic-80's Whitney to mind. It's a fabulous ballad.

Does this album compare to early works such as her debut and the "Whitney" album? Not really. But that doesn't mean it isn't worth a try. It's a good album. So why the lack of sales and poor chart performance? Well, don't point the finger at Whitney. Radio/charts are dominated right now by over-hyped rappers and 20-something R&B stars using those rappers. People who can actually sing such as Whitney, Mariah, and Celine are being cast aside which isn't right. However, if radio would get its head out of the sand, I think "Try It On My Own" could actually redeem this album somewhat. Go ahead and give this album a chance. Support people who can actually sing.

I was very pleased with Whitney's latest work. It's more upbeat and clearly more leaned to an R&B flavor and less Pop which is great in my opinion. Go Whitney!
