Standard double jewel case. Amazon.com: 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 The Greatest Hits track Houston's rise from mid-'80s Top 40 balladeer to standard-setting diva. Disc 1, Cool Down, runs chronologically through Houston's down-tempo love songs, from "The Greatest Love of All" 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 mixmasters, 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 '80s fluffiness by layering in bells, lasers effects, and echoes on top of Whitney's enthusiastic vocals. --Heidi Sherman Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-06-16 The best of Whitney I liked that there were 2 CDs - one to dance to and one to relax to. I listen to the dancing one more, but both are very good. Let's not forget, this is Whitney! Rating:  Date: 2008-05-29 Whitney I just love Whitney Houston and this is a great cd. I wish they would have put a few more songs on the red disk that are on the blue disk. I am not to keen on the blue disk, I don't get into remixes much. But if you do then it's a great buy. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-21 Excellent It's an excellent CD. It gathers all the best Whitney Houston songs in a double CD. I had one and lost mine, that's why I bouth another one. Rating:  Date: 2008-01-28 GREATEST HIT ALBUM - THE BEST EVER I have loved playing this album non-stop. I am surprised it is not scratched. Great album with cool down and throw down. Rating:  Date: 2007-11-05 Crack is Not Whack 4 Whitney Why does Whitney have almost as many compilation CD's as original studio recordings? ...She has another compilation coming out this month. Whitney has a beautiful voice and has made some of the greatest pop music of my generation. I really hope she cleans up her act and reclaims her prior standing. |
