Y'all do not understand the extent to which I adore the random pop songs off of Preacher's Wife.

I feel like we got New Jack Whitney and then Darkchild Whitney and what we missed in the middle was a whole album of Shoop Shoop and My Heart is Calling and Step by Step where the ballads are all variations on Why Does It Hurt So Bad.

Basically I'm saying I wish Whitney Houston had been given the entire Secrets album instead of Toni Braxton, basically.

Could you imagine if Whitney had immediately followed The Bodyguard with a whole album of 50% midtempo Babyface grooves 50% Diane Warren/David Foster ballads??? With like two Mariah bops (think Dreamlover or Always Be My Baby, not Emotions/Make It Happen)??

For that matter: can you imagine how Whitney would have S L A I N Dreamlover???

The genius of Whitney's pop appeal was always the struggle between the machine music and her endlessly inventive, authentic vocals. It worked great with 80s pop, but I think it actually would have worked even BETTER with 90s white pop.

This is strongly related to my deep, deep conviction that no one would have sung Wrecking Ball or Teenage Dream better than Whitney Elizabeth Houston.

Honestly the vision of the Whitney Teenage Dream is like Wordsworth's vision of The Prelude, to me. Like, I just think if that record existed it would instantly and mythically and mystically save America and maybe the world.
