From Amazon.com
At the time of its release, this was the watershed for soundtracks, selling a kazillion copies. It documents Whitney Houston's character in the Kevin Costner movie, which required Houston to play only herself (although one hopes she wouldn't end up with someone as smarmy as Costner). The album is as much a testament to the production of Babyface who, through the mid-1990s, actually was the mainstream of contemporary hit music. Houston's singing is much better than her acting, and almost every song enjoyed a long tenure at the top of all the charts. Along with "I Will Always Love You" and five other Houston songs, the soundtrack also features Lisa Stansfield, Kenny G with Aaron Neville, and Joe Cocker with Sass Jordan. --Scott Wilson

Un Essentiel amazon.fr
Tout chez Whitney Houston semble l'avoir prédestinée au succès international. Ses ascendants d'abord, qui connaissent soul et gospel sur le bout des doigts pour les avoir pratiqués - sa tante n'est autre que la célèbre Thelma Houston dont le hit "Don't Leave Me This Way" est encore dans toutes les mémoires. Ensuite, sa voix, élégante, qui est propre à séduire un vaste auditoire. Son physique, enfin, qui la fait débuter comme mannequin et l'amène à jouer au cinéma dans "Bodyguard" au côté de Kevin Costner. Réalisé en 1992, ce disque est son quatrième où brille la ballade sucrée à souhait "I Will Always Love You" (une reprise de la chanteuse country Dolly Parton). Évidemment, le titre est numéro 1 aux États-Unis. Quant à ce disque, il ravira les amateurs de soul aux arrangements léchés. --Hervé Comte

Most helpful customer reviews   The ultimate Whitney Houston album!! This is a classic!!, Sep 23 2006 By  Vader - See all my reviews    You can't forget the love theme from the movie, The Bodyguard. I Will Always Love You emerged in 1992 with 14 weeks at No. 1. and for four years it was the longest #1 single on the Hot 100 singles chart until One Sweet Day with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men and We Belong Together also from Mariah Carey in 2005. Run To You, I Have Nothing and I'm Every Woman were huge hits for this diva- whose popularity took a dive after the Bodyguard soundtrack and her last two albums failed to generate any interest. Well, Whitney Houston will be remembered for this awesome soundtrack and this soundtrack produced one of the greatest songs of all time. I Will Always Love You is one of the best love songs of all-time and this album is a must-have for every Whitney Houston fan. Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   The true DIVA soundtrack album for Whitney!, Jun 15 2004 By  Preston L. Moreaux (North Carolina) - See all my reviews All of the six songs that Whitney Houston sang for "The Bodyguard" soundtrack show her as a true diva taking control! Every time I hear "I Will Always Love You", I get chills! It is so perfectly done, so beautiful, and you can't be moving around, because Whitney's taking center stage and running the show when she sings it! The other songs are just as good, such as "I Have Nothing", "I'm Every Woman", "Jesus Loves Me", "Run to You" and her no-nonsense dance number "Queen of the Night." The other album's half is okay, typical soundtrack stuff, but I love SOUL SYSTEM's rapped-sung "Lovely Day" and Lisa Stansfield's "Someday I'm Coming Back." The Kenny G song and the theme from the Bodyguard are also good. But the true album's standout is Whitney! I can see now why it's sold over 24 million albums or so to date! A diva at her highest level! Was this review helpful to you?
