A Commentary by MSNBC reporter Tony SclafaniDid Houston’s potential comeback scare Carey into pushing her CD back?
Sometimes things turn out different than you expect.
Sometimes things turn out different than you expect.
A few months ago when word got out that Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey would drop high-profile CDs around the same time, it seemed easy enough to predict the fate of the often-compared big voiced, virtuoso vocalists. It looked like the ever-popular Carey would score yet another hit, while the 46-year-old Houston, who hasn’t been heard from in years, would probably struggle to find an audience again.
But that’s not what happened. When Houston put out the title track of her forthcoming album, “I Look to You” as a single, the retro piano ballad was met with such a strong response that on July 28 it was announced that the release date for her album was moved forward from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31. It was only a one-day change, but it was symbolically significant.
