惠特妮·休斯顿（Whitney Houston），美国已故著名女歌手，国际乐坛流行天后、好莱坞巨星。她以强而有力的嗓音、一字多转音的感染力与宽广的音域，所被誉为美国第一嗓。Whitney是首张专辑销量最高的女歌手和单张专辑销量最高的女歌手。她也是Billboard音乐排行榜唯一一位连续缔造7首冠军单曲的女歌手。

根据吉尼斯世界纪录，Whitney是获奖最多的女歌手（获奖490次）。在上世纪八十年代，惠特妮是少数能够在MTV获得大量的播出机会的黑人艺人之一，而那时是男性为主的摇滚时代。AOL Black Voices 曾说“虽然她的成功如同避雷针 (lightning rod) 一般，但总是能够从她那优美且有力的声音中得到证明。”她是唯一在美国拥有两张最佳销售前35名的专辑的女性歌手。惠特妮在全世界有超过2亿的唱片销售记录。

《Just Whitney》象征着一位天后歌手充满喜悦地衣锦荣归,而且不负众望地用她极佳的嗓音,唱出一张终于能足以与她绝佳的天赋匹配、令人手舞足蹈的绝妙专辑。 而今她的最新作品《Just Whitney》终于问世,这张带有绝对个人风格,展现出惠妮一流天后的音乐水准的新作,她的圆熟与成长,且正如她闪亮出色的新专辑名称所暗示的,在拥有这一切的成绩与成就之后,她还依然保有真我的个性,而且在乐坛屹立不摇,因为惠妮就是惠妮!

I'm wiser now

I'm not the foolish girl you used to know

So long ago

I'm stronger now

I've learned from my mistakes which way to go

And I should know

I put myself aside to do it your way

But now I need to do it all alone

And I am not afraid to try it on my own

I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what I'll keep it real you know

Time for me to do it on my own

Yeah yeah, mmm, yeah yeah

It's over now

I can't go back to living through your eyes

Too many lines

And if you don't know by now

I can't go back to being someone else

Not anymore

I never had a chance to do things my way

So now it's time for me to take control

And I am not afraid to try it on my own

I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know

Time for me to do it

Oh I start again go back to one

I'm running things my way

Can't stop me now, I've just begun

Don't even think about it

There ain't no way about it

I'm taking names, the ones of mine

Yes I'm gonna take my turn

It's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone

I am not afraid to try it on my own

And I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know

It's time for me to do it

See I'm not afraid

I am not afraid to try it on my own

And I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know

It's time for me to do it

on my own
