HOUSTON 'HUMBLED' BY STARS' COMEBACK SUPPORT
WHITNEY HOUSTON was touched after a string of high profile music makers asked to be part of her comeback - insisting she was 'humbled' by the support of her contemporaries.

The legendary diva returned to the top of the U.S. album charts in August (09) with I Look To You, her first chart-topper since The Bodyguard soundtrack in 1993.
The album was highly-anticipated as it marked Houston's first studio release following her much-publicised battle with drugs and the breakdown of her marriage to Bobby Brown.
Hitmakers Alicia Keys and R. Kelly approached Houston and asked to be part of her musical return, and the singer was left stunned by the numbers of influential people who were backing her for a second run at success.
She tells Pride magazine, "I was humbled by the fact that people like Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys and R. Kelly wanted to be part of the album. They were calling saying, 'Man, I gotta get on there.' I feel blessed about their support for the whole project."
