I just got off the phone with an Arista insider myself, actually a distant relative. He told me that Arista is releasing the double CD Greatest Hits package AND a full length CD at the same time.

I'm very wary of this latest info. It doesn't make sense in a marketing point of view. He says that the double CD will be entirely the greatest hits of Whitney Houston. Disk 1 will contain all Whitney's ballads, Disk 2 will contain the dance songs with the latest remixed versions. There are 14 ballads chosen for Disk 1 and 12 remix dance songs for Disk 2.

He says Arista will double bill the greatest hits collection which will contain the new single release from Whitney, which is a ballad as well as the new album will contain the ballad single as well.

He says its a song that fans have been wishing for years that Whitney redo. Arista is putting everything into this single and are expecting it to be the biggest all-time single in the history of music.

Understand, this is what my insider told me. This could be wrong, and could be just a clever Arista marketing leak!

thanks for sharing that news. But did your source give you an exact date of when the albums will hit the record stores?

Everything is like top secret around here. They were first waiting for the release of maddona album. But that hype only lasted a few weeks. Now according to my sources the album should be released by July. This was the comment that Bobby Brown made when he stated big things will be coming this summer.

A lot of people misunderstood that for WH being pregnant. It was about her album not a pregnancy. Anyway, my source also told me that the first single from her new album will blow the competition away. It's a ballad, that contains very powerful vocals and strong emotions.

I cant wait until it's released.

Rachel the webmaster wants to clarify that:

1. when Bobby was asked "Is WH pregnant?" at the Versace Fashion Show, his EXACT WORDS were "We don't know what kind of condition she will be in the summer, though". The word 'condition' is synonymous with 'pregnancy'. So I dunno what good Bad Boy Bobby was trying to make...

2. the e-mail says "a ballad that contains very powerful vocals and strong emotions", my question is "Is there any other kind?".
