[New York Daily News Article] Record superproducer Rodney Jerkins is shaking his head over recent reports of behavior that got the singing star bounced off the Oscar show. Jerkins tells us he spent two weeks last month working on a duet with Houston and George Michael, and "everything was fine. It was just like when I worked with her last year," says the 21-year-old music wonderkid. He says, "That stuff they're putting out there about her? I don't see that side - and I don't want to see that side." The duet might be out by mid-April. It's the first single off the "Greatest Hits" album Houston has coming out at month's end. Houston and Michael "sound very cool together," says Jerkins. "I mean, Whitney, to me, is a far better singer, but I balanced out the two, and it's great." NEWSFILE: 4 APRIL 2000 |
