Mariah and Whitney are racing for the Grammy deadline
Quote:
Whitney Houston’s new CD, her big comeback effort, is said to “near ready,” “almost done,” or “just about finished.”
I’d heard last week that Clive Davis was putting a September release date on it. But really, here’s the thing: the Grammy deadline is August 31st. That’s a month earlier than usual because the Grammy Awards are a week earlier this year, on January 31, 2010.
Yes, that’s right: a week, a month. It makes no sense, but that’s what they did at Grammy HQ. At the end of January 2010 they’re going to give out awards for music released between October 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009.
And Whitney’s comeback may not make that deadline. Of course, it’s possible a single could be released by then. But that’s always a tricky story. J Records tried that with Alicia Keys a couple of years ago, with “No One” making the cut. A year later, her very good album, “As I Am,” seemed old.
Very interesting. Not too excited about Whitney, but of course will be looking out for it. Mariah though, I'm sure they'll be ready in the next 2 months. Just from all the info and her speaking about it.
^ im actually one who is looking foward to Whitney i mean she hasn't been on the music scene in forever so i wanna see how she's gonna hold her own against today's "pop" nation...Mariah is always a pleasure so im always looking for her
No her career still smashes because NOBODY has come close to her success since...... doesn't matter how long you been away, your accomplishments stay relevant. Thats why we have legends and icons. Your theory only works for today's superstars that hasn't cemented their legacy.
Damn I can't wait that long. I need some new Shaki.
