HOUSTON, THERE’S NO PROBLEM

I Look to You Looks Like 250-275k, As Second Release Day Matches First,
Cyrus Next
September 2, 2009

Whitney Houston’s comeback is complete.
Her Arista/RMG album, I Look to You, taking advantage of its Monday
release date to be eligible for this year’s Grammys, will debut at #1,
with a robust sales figure of 250-275k.

That’s based on two-day sales reports from those among our crack group of
retail reporters who haven’t yet paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Her second day, Tuesday, which would have been the normal release date,
proved every bit as busy as the first.

Whitney Houston Gets Second Day on Oprah
By: Roger Friedman   //   Tuesday

September 1, 2009
Whitney Houston was so good on Tuesday’s taping of Oprah that she’s doing a
second one tomorrow.

This means that Whitney will get not only the Oprah premiere on Sept. 14, but
a full second hour on Sept. 15 to finish up.

What this also means is that Houston’s “I Look to You” album should
skyrocket in sales.

The CD, which was released yesterday, looks like it’s tracking toward a
300,000 copy debut. Frankly, it’s surprising everyone, even the people at
Arista Records. Reports are that “I Look to You” is exceeding expectations
and is No. 1 in most foreign markets after making its worldwide debut on
Monday.

Houston’s success can be attributed to a lot of things, but mostly the idea
that she’s overcome her difficulties and survived. Everyone loves a survival
story, and Whitney is certainly one of the most rooted-for celebrities ever.

On “Oprah,” apparently Houston talks frankly with Winfrey about her drug
addiction, her life with Bobby Brown, and just about everything else people
are curious about. If this proves true, and Whitney really comes clean, the
catharsis should re-establish her. The worst thing Houston ever did was her
Diane Sawyer interview in 2002 — her infamous “I can afford better drugs
than crack” speech. For Houston to open up, be honest, and take
responsibility for that whole mess, well, then, she’s back.

Also on “Oprah,” set-siders (I love that expression) say Houston’s
gut-wrenching performance of the Diane Warren song “I Didn’t Know My Own
Strength” should ensure an outpouring of emotion– and a guaranteed hit
single.
