According to Bilboard, Shania Twain's 1997 Mercury Nashville album "Come On Over" arrived at 13 million; the set ties Whitney Houston's 1985 Arista debut as the No. 2 album by a female artist. Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" holds the top slot, at 16 million units. [THIS IS A LIE!!!!] (submitted by: Seng Soon Y.)

V O T E !!! Request MLIYL on MTV's TRL (you will have to delete your cookies between each vote!), and call your radio stations. Rick has made a list of radio stations and their phone numbers! USE IT! Report on VIVA TV Special. May 1999, Germany. The entire special is overdubbed in German. Most of this TV special is extremely boring, with the rehashing of all the 80's stuff we've seen a million times before. But they also show some behind-the-scenes footage of the MLIYL video shoow, which was shot in L.A. on April 18/99. There is a lengthy interview done on the set of the MLIYL video (WH looks exactly like the video). Whitney sings during the course of the interview (jokingly) "I got up this morning, I vacuumed my floor". Very cute! Of course, WH complains about the media and talks about her "wonderful" husband... but some parts of the interview reveal WH's feleings about her fans that she never discussed before. Whitney says:

WH live in Mannheim, Germany: Before Whitney entered the stage, she was announced by a guy and he says that Whitney herself requested the concert to be filmed ! I don`t know if that means that we MAYBE will see it some time on TV...Furthermore the concert was presented by VIVA, a very big German music channel...Probably I`m just dreaming that they could show it...

Book: "The Picture Life of Whitney Houston" by Gene BUSNAR. 1988. ISBN: 0-531-10498-2. I just bought this 63-page book about WH. It contains 24 full page photos, all from teh 1980's. 10 of the pics are in colour, the rest are in black and white. Over half of these pictures I had never seen before. Most notable is a *glam* pic of WH at the 1986 Statue of Liberty something-or-other celebration; pics of WH live in concert 1985-86; five (5) b/w candid photos of WH from 1984 before she was famous -- one of which WH is sitting on the steps of her house; another at church w/Cissy; and another with her family and cousin Felicia Moss, making a face that says "huh?!?". Priceless! There is also a pic from 1 of WH's many photo shoots for the debut album cover -- you can't help but laugh at this pic cuz WH looks 12 years old, but she has a ton of make-up on. If you see this book somewhere, it is worth purchasing!
(submitted by: Rachel D.) Picture Gallery Update: 35 new picture scans from Fernanda! Total # of photos: 917. Further explanation about the $100K lawsuit against Whitney from Wall Of Sound. According to Billboard, "I Learned From The Best" will be the next single. This article says late fall, but I read on another page that the single will be released in December as a double A side single for "I Learned From The Best" and "I Bow Out". THAT info came from the Junior Vasquez website. It's either in the new releases section or the news section. Thought you'd like to hear a ballad was going to be the next single. And I do love "I Learned From The Best". (submitted by: Jonathan B.) Whitney Houston - I Learned From The Best/ I Bow Out to be released as double A-side follow up to "My Love Is Your Love" Single at the end of the year. No word on who will be remixing either song. Classic Whitney remixes by Junior Vasquez ("How Will I Know?" and "Greatest Love Of All"), David Morales ("Love Will Save The Day"), Hex Hector ("I Will Always Love You"), Club 69 ("Greatest Love Of All") and Johnny Vicious ("So Emotional") will probably be released as b-sides to the current singles. Eddie Baez, Junior, Hex, Johnny Vicious, and Club 69 have also probably been asked to remix songs from the new album as well. (from: Junior Vasquez website) Recently Released White Labels (may only available in NYC): Houston - "Love Will Save The Day" (Eddie Baez Remix) backed with Opera Mess (Fred Jorio). (from: Junior Vasquez website) Whitney Houston - My Love Is Your Love (Domestic Promo Double Pack with Jonathan Peters and Thunderpuss 2000 remixes with CD single and CD-Maxi single release slated for September 7th).

E!Online News: Officials to Whitney: Pay Up!.
Chart update: The MLIYL CD single debuts at #81 on Billboard. Trouble on the horizon... NYC's WBLS Radio reported this morning that "they" are suing WH for her cancellation of the Concord, CA, show. I think the figure I heard was $ 15 million. They didn't make it clear who "they" was, whether it was the Concord Pavilion, or someone else. (submitted by: Ed S.) From E!Online: ALWAYS R.S.V.P.: In Concord, California, city officials asking Whitney Houston to fork over $100,000 for costs involved in a August 1 show she canceled at (literally) the last minute. Concert reviews of WH in Germany, Poland... I saw tickets for the London concert for sale on the BST. (amoung other good stuff). (submitted by: RTWM) According to Belgian Newspapers, The concert in Belgium (Antwerp-25Sept.)is sold out since July.(some weeks after the fisrt day of sale!).Maybe a second concert will be announced. Belgians love to shaw how much they love Whitney even if she didn't come back there since 92-93!!! (submitted by: Dutch-fan Marie-Eve B.) Tonight, European time at 19:00 there will be an report in Blitzlicht about one of her concerts in Germany. I think also an intervieuw that goes along with it. Yesterday was an intervieuw on RTL, Punkt 12 also about her tour. (submitted by: Dutch-fan Davey D.) Whitney's concert in Holland on 7 september is placed to 12 and 13 october that means we can see whitney 2 times! (submitted by: {Peter X.?)

Biography mag has nominated 25 women for the Top
10 Beauties of the Decade. A major photo spread
of the Top 10 choices will appear in the
millenium issue, December 1999. Whitney is one
of the nominees. Usual suspects Gwyneth Paltrow,
Cameron Diaz, and Vanessa Williams are also
nominated, however atypical choices like Candace
Bergen, Meryl Streep, and Katie Couric also
made the nominee list. Go vote for Whitney in
the Top 10!

According to Amazon.com, this is the track listing for the USA MLIYL CD single: Whitney concert in Poland showed polish tv during this concert 17.5% people was watching this. It was about 10 millions people It is big success (population of Poland is 39 millions). Better was only pilgrim of Pope to Poland. They didn't say how many people watched this. So maybe in reality Whitney was better. (submitted by: Sylwia M.) A new concert review has been added: review of the "Meet And Greet", and the set list for the Poland show.

Yesterday they were rolling the album sales charts on "Future
Rocks" program, in the time MLIYL is out of top 10 in BillBoard
Charts, it is No.1 all out of Europe! I can't believe that, I
guess that is the magic of the title track! When will Arista
release it in US and Canada?
(submitted by: Nimer R.) New concert review added to the USA Tour reviews. A&E will premiere a "Biography" on Dorothy Dandrige tonight at 8PM and midnight. It might be interesting to see who's bio rights Whitney has bought and hopes to play someday.

You know the MTV VIDEO AWARDS are coming and if
we vote for her she will win a award. Just go to this website and vote!!!
(submitted by: Candace) Interesting 'diva comparison' article from Down Under. As apart of the 60 second news report this morning on Power 98 (radio), Whitney held a program to honor Michael Jackson. The proceeds would all go to charity (I forget which one). So the event comes to be and Micheal no shows her leaving her hanging. I wonder how she feels to be stood up after she did it to her many fans all over the world. (submitted by: Danielle S.) Does any MJ fan know why MJ cancelled on the charity event?

Interesting chart analysis from L. Arista's Weekly Word: [what an overstatement!] WHITNEY HOUSTON - 1999 Belongs To Her!(submitted by: Michele B.) This lame boxset is also part of Arista's lame efforts to promote the MLIYL song. Could this promo CD single have any INRBIO remixes we haven't heard before? I know that Chris Cox and Barry H. are the duo that make up "ThunderPuss 2000". I wonder if they just changed the names of the remixes. Can anyone offer any info? (submitted by: Carlos C.) As I write this, GLOA just came on on Adult Contemporary radio. They have not played any song off of MLIYL yet. They are waiting for a BALLAD to be released. Do you copy, Arista?

New polling question! Whitney Houston is nominated for the Comet, a German Music Award from VIVA TV, in the category "best international act". The award show will take place August 21st and will air in German TV August 22nd. Maybe Whitney will show up at the ceremony as her European tour starts a week later. (submitted by: Michaela X.?) Daniela B. has translated that German Magazine called "Online Today" for me. I don't have my degree yet, but it is a flattering article. [full english translation] GET READY TO START TRADING FOR THE POLISH CONCERT!!! The "Jimmy's Remix" of YNSA was actually commissioned by Arista, possibly for the Remix GHP which has now been shelved. The full name of Jimmy is "Jimmy Gomez". [hear it!] (submitted by: RTWM)
