the comeback roadmap

I predict that Whitney Houston will make a major comeback within the next two years. She's already taken the first -- and most critical -- step towards this goal: ditching that no-good Bobby Brown. For her next step, Whitney should admit herself into some fancy-schmancy rehab clinic where she can ween off the drugs and gain back some weight. Then, she has to go television with a reputable but soft news personality, perhaps Barbara Walters or Diane Sawyer, to offer her mea culpa for her bizarre behavior over the past few years. Although it would be a little uncouth to use Bobby as the scapegoat, I think America would totally understand. She have to be willing to re-visit her "crack is whack" interview, show some embarrassment, and then talk about how God has helped to find the way back to the right path and, more importantly, back to the music. By this time, she should have already wrapped up a fantastic album with more of her Bodyguard-type music and less of whatever was on her last album. That way, the interview will spur album sales, rocketing her once again to the number one spot of America's greatest female pop singer ever. All she needs right now is a smart person to guide her through this transformation.

Gary disagrees with my prediction, but I'm pretty adamant, as are my friends here at school. If Marv Albert and Mariah Carey can do it, then I know Whitney Houston can too.
