Cover: The Fall & Fall Of Whitney Houston Date: October 2000 Article: The Ballad Of Whitney Houston UK music & lifestyle magazine THE FACE usually secures some high profile interviews.  In Whitney's case, they have written an article that addresses recent US tabloid stories.  This is not a rehash of what's been said but more an analysis of the stories and an attempt at constructing an insight into whether anything being said has foundation.  The report is complete with a suspect array of photos of Whitney. What makes the article interesting is that it acknowledges Whitney's impact on music since the mid-eighties and her influence on the resurgence of new R&B sounds during the late '90s.  Read THE FACE Article Here

Whitney Houston graces the cover of the Mail On Sunday, a UK Sunday newspaper as well as it's supplementary magazine, Night & Day with the inclusion of a free Greatest Hits preview CD, December 2000.
