You know, "Worth It" was not instant for me and over the first month, rarely played. HOWEVER, it really grew on me and IMO, are the best vocals on the album for me! I say its a safe choice and should do well on Urban It was instantaneous for me but i agree it has some of her best vocals of the entire cd. Arista is also considering releasing a physical single which i think should do wonders in moving the song up the r&b singles charts ala Toni's, Mariah's and Maxwell. I know that singles are not supported but sales of 4-6k in a week where it is top 20 at urban ac would definitely push the song up.

Worth It is the confirmed 3rd single. For the US I believe that they are issuing a different single for the international market but it hasn't been confirmed yet. It is my guess that they will be looking at Nothing But Love or/and For The Lovers

Another flop single from Whitney... Yet she will still be making more money from that flop single than you make from your Wendy's job flipping burgers and stealing fries. What's your point?

From bigham @ CW Billboard 200 Album 01*16*10
101 HOUSTON*WHITNEY I LOOK TO YOU 7,749 -75 31,133 910,685
Final Soundscan 2009
28 ARI HOUSTON*WHITNEY I LOOK TO YOU 910,685
Pretty decent for 4mths of sales considering. I can see Arista release another single after Worth it to extend the album into the summer- hope that is either
For the Lovers Salue

Her sales are good. I am still tripping over the fact that this CD has sold more than 2002's Just Whitney, which was released when she was not only younger but in a more commercial era. Go Whitney!

^ Well, Whitney had a lot of stuff going on in her life personally and she also didn't really promote it. It was sort of abandoned but yeah, I get your point JW ~758k sold in 7yrs ILTY - 911k sold in 4mths lol

Just Whitney didn't have the anticipation or longevity ILTY has. I don't believe because she was younger it was more commercial. Both albums are catering to Whitney fans and Urban audiences though.

Here is a 'Worth It' fanmade video fromWF. Loveit! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw9tf37oOXs&feature=player_embeddedDon't know whythe embed didn't work but here's the link. This person did a very good job. I wonder if Arista can top this? you Say' from JW which is really part 2 of 'I Say Yes' from MLIYL- possiblyher most r&b, urban songs evah!! Both quiet storm jams.

Someone said that the next UK single will be Nothin But Love. Don't know if that's 100% confirmed but Larry Jackson did say a while ago that was the direction they were heading towards. I hate fan made videos like that. A waste of time really

Beautiful! Simply gorgeous and I can't wait to see this show!
It was nice of BET to honour Whitney (so deserving) and really great of Bet, I mean Clive, lol, to give her a plaque for her album being 2x plat especially when it is SOOO hard for r&b, actually any genre artist to go 1xp.

I love her but when she isnt on a proper show / performance / press thingy, she looks a hot ghetto ass mess How exactly is she looking ghetto? She looks like an every day woman doing her thing. Maybe because of the hot ghetto ass mess monikers you've chosen to represent you, you see things through hot ghetto mess shaded glasses.

I'm a fan of hers, LOVE HER but it's I'm not blind to admit that she is ghetto. She said that herself on Oprah. Understand facts, we have receipts to this. Stop living in a bubble. Anyway, she looks amazing on the show. Can't wait to see it!

^She never said on Oprah that she was ghetto. She said that she is a sneaker and jeans type of person in her downtime and that is what she wears at the airport, jeans and a white shirt. She said nothing about being ghetto. Anyhow, here are lots of pictures of her at the BET awards last night via AO 2ze.us/x2
