She meant that this was the pinnacle of what she believed what would be her daughter's success and she was right." "I don't think she just meant that her daughter was great. "I was standing right beside Cissy, and she turned to me, and she said, 'I don't know who you are and why you are here or what you are to me, but you are witnessing greatness right here.' And she was right." It's not a high water mark in Cocker's career, but at least he didn't have to duet with Houston."It was like 'BOOM,'" Foster said. Oh yes, and there's the movie's instrumental theme, which is not exactly up there with Lara's or Tara's theme.įinally, there's an appearance by Joe Cocker with Janis Joplin-wannabe-of-the-month Sass Jordan. (featuring Robert Clivilles and David Cole of C&C Music Factory), and a disposable dance number from the ordinarily enticing Lisa Stansfield.
Then there's a throwaway dance track from the S.O.U.L.
Unfortunately, in such exquisite company, G's saxophone tootling sounds even more second-rate than usual. Curtis Stigers, the thinking man's Michael Bolton (an odd sort of niche in life, yes?), rushes through Nick Lowe's ironic "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding" as if he were covering a Huey Lewis tune.Īaron Neville's sweet falsetto is as breathtaking as ever on the insubstantial "Even If My Heart Would Break," a duet with Kenny G. The other artists' tracks are marginally better. On "Queen of the Night," Houston tries to sound "street" but comes off more "suite." And what ever possessed her to remake Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman"? Houston has the range for the song, of course, but where Khan propelled the song with her earthy exuberance, Houston merely drifts along on the chilly Euro-disco beat.
