I think he's probably right. Her voice was amazing...but all voices change naturally with age and in Whitney's case it's had a lot of abuse. She will probably do well because she has a lot of devoted fans, but to expect her to produce that clear voice with that wide range now and to ecpect her CD's to sell like her early albums... is asking the impossible.Life moves on.

This is a misleading headline. Foster did not say he feared for Whitney's voice, he just says the publics' expections are not realistic and that Whitney herself set the bar so high in her early recordings, even she cannot match those early years. To suggest as some people on this site have done, that she is finished is ridiculous.To say that she will not match her early sales of 1985,86,etc. is silly--NO ONE sells records like that anymore. As for being a fool to use drugs--we all do a lot of foolish things. I am rooting for Whitney and love her new album. She certainly deserves a second chance. It's still Whitney and she's not finished yet! She gets to decide that--not some "anonymous" fool on this website. God Bless You, Whitney.

Whoever wrote this totally took David's comment out of context. He said nothing about her voice being ruined. He merely stated that she set a standard so high even for herself. People love negativity...I SWEAR! It would take a negative individual or spiritual vampire to conclude such an interpretation of his comments.

Do you think any of us ordinary people would get the same treatment? Whitney was always a shrew (both in presonality and voice)and very, very ordinary in her choice of partners. Give the rest of the world a break and stop stylising dumbwits as being worthy of a break. How does she stand up as a role model for her target market...ie little girls???

Whitney is going to be just fine and will always remain in my prayers, and her voice is still beautiful - not perfect like it was prior to her unfortunate choice to use drugs, but she'll get there. I have always loved Whitney and was so disappointed with her choice of a soulmate then walking in his shoes but she has gotten herself together.

Her voice is completely trashed. Absolutely no range. Sad.
