A worthy chart topper.

Review Score: (10/10)
Whitney Houston's second album broke all sorts of records back in the day and with good reasons, her unique one-of-a kind voice combined with top notch production. On the downside if you never cared for bordering-on-pop R&B Music this won't make you a fan. Detractors aside, "Whitney" is outstanding through-and-through.

The big hits "I wanna dance with somebody", "So emotional", "Where do broken hearts go", "Love will save the day", and "Didn't we almost have it all" are highly enjoyable. There's also a few lesser known gems here as well. "Just the lonely talking again" is a semi-ballad with an incessant chorus. "Love is a contact sport" with it's catchy main section and driving chorus is vastly overlooked. "I know him so well", A fine duet with Cissy Houston (Whitney's mother) surprisingly wasn't released as a single, that's a shame, as given Whitney's status back then it would've soared up the charts.
