Description of Whitney Houston - The Greatest Hits:
For an artist who only released four proper albums in a 15-year career, it's astounding to recall how many hits Whitney Houston was able to achieve. The two CDs on The Greatest Hits track Houston's rise from mid-'80s Top 40 balladeer to standard-setting diva. Disc 1, Cool Down, runs chronologically through Houston's down-tempo love songs, from "The Greatest Love of All" and "I Will Always Love You" to the cleverly conceived new duet with Deborah Cox, "Same Script, Different Cast." She's also showcased as the remixee of choice for DJs on the second disc, Throw Down, which serves as the antidote to the lovesick first disc. Calling in marquee mixmasters, Houston's old-shoe tunes get a new millennium polish. "My Love Is Your Love," reinterpreted by Jonathan Peters, captures the versatility of Houston's songs by making the downbeats danceable without going totally Euro-cheese. In contrast, Junior Vasquez's remix of 1985's "How Will I Know" pokes fun at the song's '80s fluffiness by layering in bells, lasers effects, and echoes on top of Whitney's enthusiastic vocals. --Heidi Sherman
Whitney Houston - The Greatest Hits Reviews:
Not what I expected 
2009-10-03 - These are all dance re-mixes of the original songs. I was looking for the same version as on the original release vinyl before this "Greatest Hits" came out. YUCK
Only The Best! 
2009-09-30 - If you love Whitney Houston, you HAVE to get this collection! All of our favorites are here:"The Greatest Love of All", "I Will Always Love You", "I Wanna Dance with Somebody".... On & on... When she sang "One Moment In Time" for Sammy Davis, Jr's birthday celebration, not long before he died, I cried my eyes out! And it's HERE! She shared our lives. All our memories are on this cd!
ONE DISC GREAT,ONE JUST FAIR 
2009-09-29 - THIS WAS A TWO DISC SET.THE ONE GREATEST HITS DISC WAS WHAT I EXPECTED IT TO BE,VERY GOOD.THE OTHER IS A REMIX DISC THAT I DIDNT REALLT EXPECT TO LIKE MUCH.IN THAT I WAS CORRECT,BEING A SENIOR CITIZEN THE REMIX WAS PRETTY MUCH A BASS BEAT AND NOISE.
whitney houston the greatest hit
2009-09-21 - This album is great. If you like Whitney Houston, you will love this cd. I listen it to this cd every day and I never get bored with her songs. All of her greatest hits are on this cd and my favorite one is the greatest love of you. I recommended this cd to everyone.
What a disappointment
2009-09-19 - I did not know that I was getting a remix of the DISCO ERA of her greatest hits. How very tiring.
While I appreciate the disco era, I did not want a bunch of disco remixes of Whitney's greatest hits. STAY AWAY from this if you are looking for the originals as you remember them.
