Whitney Houston, 'I Look to You'

Grammy potential: Plenty have been waiting for Houston's return, and you can bet Recording Academy voters are among her most ardent supporters. She has six Grammy wins to her name, including an album of the year trophy for her work on the soundtrack to 1992 film "The Bodyguard." While her 2002 album "Just Whitney" failed to snare an album of the year nod, she's largely been missing in action since, at least if you were looking for her outside the tabloids. If "I Look to You" is a moderate critical success -- and early signs are that it is -- then Houston's album of the year prospects will be judged on the marketplace. If it's a hit, book it. If she's fading from the top 10 by time Mariah Carey releases her "Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel" on Sept. 29, Houston may be relegated to pop and genre fields.

Grammy deserving: Initial reactions to "I Look to You" are positive, although not glowing. Houston's weapon was her voice, and it's lost some of its thrill. A scaled-back Whitney, especially one paired with A-list producers, from R. Kelly to Stargate to Akon, isn't necessarily all that different from any number of pop divas. That all being said, "I Look to You" may play it safe, but it's a pleasurable listen from start to finish. "Million Dollar Bill" is blissfully retro, and "Salute" packs a feisty, kiss-off punch.
