WHITNEY HOUSTON IS ASTONISHING,ONE OF THE BEST VOCALIST EVER. THE GREATEST HITS PACKAGE HAS MANY GREAT SONGS, UNRELEASED TUNES, GREAT DANCE MIXES. IT IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE WHO IS A MUSIC LOVER. 36 SONGS IN ALL.THE BEST EVER!

my name is you jong woo. i'm korean. many korean loves her. i like whitney's voice. it's miracle. she's all over me. the greatest hits and me, we could be in love. one disk is very very perpect love ballard. and She's also showcased as the remixee of choice for DJs on the second disc. she is top vocallist. i wll always whitney. whitney is diva. diva forever. whitney forever.

i expected one cd with hits, another with great remixes. what a disappointment ! first cd is okay with hits, but not all and it features also forgotten songs that aren't really hits ! then second cd is a totally disapointing one ! the remixes are short versions ! what can u expect when it fades at the right time ? then, the original versions of hits remixed are not there.... no original version of queen of the night, always better than this foolish shorten remix. indeed, a bad point for this cd. could have been great like this : 2 cds of greatest hits and 2 cs of long versions of remixes !

Finally! All of Whitney Houston's best ballads all on one CD. This is a dream come true, because some of the these great songs, such as "One Moment in Time" have never before appeared on a Whitney CD. Also, other ballads such as "I will always love you" and "Exhale" appeared on movie soundtrack CD's only. Even though the price is a bit high, it's worth the money because she is such a great artist and no other CD these days has so many good songs on one disc.

However, I got to warn you - This is NOT the definative greatest hits collection they claim it to be. Four number one hits are missing: "How will I know", "So Emotional", "Dance with somebody", and "I'm your baby tonight." Any CD that leaves four NUMBER ONE SONGS off is not a greatest hits collection. Calling this greatest hits is a lie. I wonder how many thousands of fans of her up-tempo dance hits are going to be ripped off and fooled into buying this CD, because the faster songs, including the four missing number one's, appear only as REMIXES. The remixes are horrible! What happened to the original versions? To add insult to injury, "How will I know", "So Emotional" and "I'm your baby tonight" can only be found on three separate CD's, which means if you want to get all her number one hits you have buy four CD's! Talk about record company greed. Sometimes it makes me wonder if these artists are only in it for the money.

To sum it up, get this if you love Whitney Houston's ballads. But those who are looking for all of her most popular songs on one CD will not be satisfied with this collection.

First & foremost, I am a die-hard fan of Whitney. Although I have all of her albums, I purchased the double CD Greatest Hits for two amazing discoveries. On the first CD, there is one track that stands out from the rest. "If you say my eyes are beautiful", a lovely duet ballad with Jermaine Jackson, is the only production in its kind that is available only on CD. This was also in Jermaine Jackson's album "Moments", which was released in 1986 only on vinyl and is now out-of-print. For years past, I heard the song on weddings and reception balls, a sure big hit that I cherished so much but never to be found in stores. Until now, Whitney's Greatest Hits' album has captivated my spirit into reviving a truly great song for the first time on CD. Thanks to Clive Davis, her co-producer, for this achievement. Adding to the praise, "Could I have This Kiss Forever" is another great debut release with Enrique Iglesias and surely will become a score hit with the Latin twist. Intriguing! And watch out for the other new ballad release with Deborah Cox entitled "Same Script, Different Cast". It's also an awesome R&B favorite. All in all, the tracks besides the new releases on this first CD labeled "Cool Down" are great ballad masterpieces from her platinum and soundtrack albums. It takes us a journey through memory lane, a chronology of Whitney's quest and popularity from the mid 80s to the 90s, from gospel singer to her rise to stardom. "The Greatest Love of All", "Saving All My Love for You", "Where Do Broken Hearts Go", "I Believe in You & Me" and the grand slam of them all, her remake of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" are among the best. While listening to her great tunes, take a moment to look at the enclosed pamphlet, which tells her great legacy. As described on the first CD, Cool Down, we listen to Whitney as angelic, sweet and graceful but strong yet powerful. Adding to the diversity and versatility of this world-renowned star, the second CD labeled "Throw Down" led to the other amazing discovery of owning this collection. Here, the mood shifts to high motion and energy as Whitney puts her star power and mystique at the club scene. Let's party! Take note of the new dance track, "If I Told You That". This is an awesome hip-hop new release with superstar George Michael. What a combination! The dance tracks are selections from maxi singles and remixes by top names like Tony Moran, Junior Vazquez and David Morales. "It's not right but it's okay", "I Learned From the Best" and "My Love is Your love" are among my favorite remixes in this collection. All in all, the double CD collection is awesome, insightful and well-polished for that distinctive voice and for one of the greatest diva artists of our times. For a reasonable price of less than 20 bucks, it's truly one of the best collections around.

This cd is the same as william hung. It deserves a throw in the garbage can just like her singer. This album has bad words and whitney lost her voice completly. This is completly not worth the money
