I was over my brothers house and he has a sattelite and i just happened to scan the channels, and it had a show dedicated to Whitney Houston on. They were talking about her new album. By the way it was on The MC channel (Music Choice). Heres the interview:

Narrator: Whitney Houstons first album was the biggest album ever by a solo artist. Not a bad start. Now some 14 years later its hard to believe that MLIYL is Whitney's 4th studio album. Shes been quite busy with her acting roles, and her soundtracks, and not to mention her family. She is a working mom you know. Whitney got a call from her dad in the industry, Arista President, Clive Davis, and he told Whitney that it was time for her to come back to her job. Whitney told him that she thought she already had one. But Clive insisted that he wanted Whitney to make another album without a movie to go along with it. And there you have it. The making of MLIYL.

Whitney: I'm happy. I'm happy to be back. And, um, hopefully everyone else is too. It just all came together and we had an album made in 2 months.

They play the whole song of INRBIO.

Narrator: The lead track off of Whitneys new album, INRBIO, was just one of the four of the songs on the album produced by Rodney Jerkins, a 21 year old genius of sorts, who has been producing since he was 17. For Jerkins, working with Whitney was quite an accomplishment, as he calls her the Muhammad Ali of singers. He even invited Whitney to sing at his dad's New Jersey church, where Jerkins still plays the organ every Sunday, and Whitney accepted. Jerkins by far was not the only new upcoming writer/producer working with Whitney on this new album. She made it a point to work with people that could help her keep up with the times. She said "No matter how you feel about your own music, and what you used to do or did, you have to keep up with what the current groove is." And boy did she. She teamed up with long time collaborators, Dianne Warren, and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, but with new younger producers, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot, Wyclef Jean, Soulshock & Karlin, and Lauryn Hill. In Whitney's own words, "It ain't no biggie at all." Lauryn Hill worked especially hard to produce "I Was Made To Love Him", a frolicking remake of Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made to Love Her". She spent 20 hours at the studio after Houston had done her vocals to make sure that it would make the albums deadline. Unfortuantely, it missed the deadline for credits, but it made the album as a hidden track. Don't forget to listen for it and think about all the hard work went into getting it there. Originally, this album had been planned as a greatest hits package but once the producers started lining up, even with the six week deadline they had to work under to meet the project release date, it was a challenge for Clive Davis to try to get it all wrapped up.

They played ILFTB in its entirety.

That was the end.
