The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
At the time of its release, this was the watershed for soundtracks, selling a kazillion copies. It documents Whitney Houston's character in the Kevin Costner movie, which required Houston to play only herself (although one hopes she wouldn't end up with someone as smarmy as Costner). The album is as much a testament to the production of Babyface who, through the mid-1990s, actually was the mainstream of contemporary hit music. Houston's singing is much better than her acting, and almost every song enjoyed a long tenure at the top of all the charts. Along with "I Will Always Love You" and five other Houston songs, the soundtrack also features Lisa Stansfield, Kenny G with Aaron Neville, and Joe Cocker with Sass Jordan. --Scott Wilson

Only Good For The Whitney Songs!!.......2006-07-09

The only reason I purchased this soundtrack back in 1992 was because I was a big Whitney Houston fan. It is worth the purchasee for her tracks that are on here. This is the biggest selling soundtrack ever! It is certified 17 platinum in the US alone and spent 20 weeks at Number #1. It also gave Whitney her biggest hit ever!

I Will Always Love You #1 (14 weeks)...4 platinum
I'm Every Woman #4 Gold
I Have Nothing #4 Gold
Run To You #31

Other highlights on this album are Queen Of The Night and Jesus Loves Me. As for the other tracks, they are not so good. Oddly Run To You missed the Top 10. It is my favorite track on the album. Make sure you pick up a copy of this soundtrack. Even though it's just for the Whitney tracks,it will be worth the purchase.

A Star Was Born.......2006-05-14

Whatever you may think of her today, Whitney's vocal ability on this CD is amazing and would be difficult to imitate by female singers on the radio today. For those who call it anything other than beautiful, where were you and your sordid opinions when the song "I Will Always Love You" first hit the airwaves? Originally recorded by Dolly Parton, Miss Houston's interpretation and impeccable performance of "I Will Always Love You" catapulted her into super stardom. Videos also turned her into an international icon of celebrated proportions as The Body Guard Soundtrack continued to climb the charts, set new records and earn numerous awards. In my opinion, Miss Houston need not prove herself any longer. For even without uttering another note, Whitney will go down in history as one of the greatest voices of all time.

Total Crap, but it made Nick Lowe a millionaire.......2005-12-17

This album is a monstrous piece of watery cow poo. So why do I give it 5 stars? Because the royalties from it made Nick Lowe, the writer of What's So Funny 'bout Peace Love and Understanding, a millionaire. Granted, the cover of that song on this album is worse than Kevin Costner's acting, but who cares? The fact that Nick Lowe, who might be the wittiest songwriter of the past 25 years, got rich from this crap is a textbook example of irony. Now stop looking at the Bodyguard soundtrack, and go buy some whatever Nick Lowe albums are still in print.

astonishing but still sad.......2005-12-16

this is cd is amazing i know whitney houston is on drugs now but back in her day she was on it.

Absolutely, positively wonderful.......2005-09-29

OMG, I love this CD. I love the movie which grossed over $400 million world wide. I still listen to this CD. I have the movie on dvd, the cd and the record. I love Whitney Houston Brown. I grew up listening to her. I was 13 when the Bodyguard hit the scene and I was taken with it. The tracks that Whitney laid were sick. The licks and turns and flows she put on I Will Always Love You were just classic. She ripped that song to shreds and didn't apologize for it. This album continued to define the majesty of the voice of Mrs. Whitney Houston Brown. The way she can make you feel the emotion when she sings is unmatched by any other in our time. Much love for Mrs. Whitney Houston Brown and for the Bodyguard. LOVED IT.
