Whitney Houston: I Didn’t Know My Own Strength

Check out Whitney Houston’s new song “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength,” off her highly-anticipated new album, I Look To You, out September 1. Download here!

Here’s the lyrics to the chorus: “I didn’t know my own strength/ And I crashed down and I tumbled/ But I did not crumble/ I got through all the pain/ I didn’t know my own strength/ Survived my darkest hour/ My faith kept me alive/ I picked myself back up/ Hold my head up high/ I was not built to break/ I didn’t know my own strength.”

FYI: Whitney, 45, will kick-off Good Morning America’s fall concert series in September!

@latinnippy24: seems like she’s lost “The Voice”… too bad.

OUTSTANDING!!!! Way to go Whitney! The confessional nature of the lyrics combined with the poignantly understated vocal is a fabulous combination.

I FEEL BAD FOR HER FANS………. lol NOT!!

feel happy for her that she’s back, still a great performer

She still sounds awesome despite being out of the spotlight, despite the drugs, despite a terrible marriage. She’s not in her 20’s or 30’s anymore, this isn’t 1992. She still sounds better the all the other divas. Wait for her to sing live (since she ALWAYS sings live unlike many of her peers) she’ll prove why people call her the greatest singer of all time!

omg. they took it down. what the hell. i was playing it for like the 30th plus time. screw them. why can’t i listen to this. why why why. why was it on youtube if they didn’t want people to hear it. maybe it was a fake…i doubt it. who leaked it. it’s not a single. it’s a leak.

lol. first it says the video has been removed do to infringment or whatever by the record companies. now it says video removed by user. gosh. w/e. i guess i have to wait a couple weeks before they drop a single if this record is actually going to come out this year. whackness.

WOW her skin is perfect!!! I hope she uses organic products!

For a long time, I thought she would OD. Welcome back, Whitney, and good luck!

I didn’t get to listen to the song because it’s been removed, but she looks really pretty. I’ve always loved her voice. Hope she is successful in her new music.

her 12th number one

I am a huge Whitney fan. All I have to say is “It’s Done”…Whatever GOD has planned is what it’s gonna be! If he can allow man to travel to the moon and return safely…He can allow Whitney to go through a storm and return Victoriously! Peace and Blessings

Song is great but her voice is destroyed, little bit, , is not so clear anymore :( but I love it. I think this can be really successful comeback. Hope she’ll make!!!

@john:
LOL. U Need new speakers.

CRACK IS WHACK!

It’s not Whitney at her peak but I’m actually impressed with the vocals. The song itself is touching but a bit bland.

Don’t like her.

@123:
WITH all due respect, REAL singing is never SO 1990 anything…autotune will go out, and real singing is back…class and beauty and emotion NEVER go out of style…how old are you?

Looking good White!

Her next # 1 !!!!!!!!

wow. no auto-tune?!?! thaaaank you god!!

wow.. finally !
… one of my favourite singers.. God Bless Her .

Definitely Hot! She sounds great. I forgot how much I missed her voice. Nice to see her singing since nobody seems to be doing that on the radio much anymore. Classy song.

She’s a mature woman and this song is perfect for her even though it’s not the same voice she had. Anyway, I love this song. She should perform it at Michael Jacksons funeral, seriously!! :P
