The page has been recreated now that quite a lot of information has become available about its production and several sources have not only confirmed its title as Undefeated but also confirmed its first single "I Didnt Know My Own Strength" and other recorded songs as well as producers.( Lil-unique1 ( talk) 22:20, 17 May 2009 (UTC))

WHITNEYHOUSTON.COM: COUNTDOWN | NEWS | MUSIC | VIDEO LATEST NEWS FROM WHITNEY HOUSTON
Listen to Whitney's new song, "Million Dollar Bill" at WhitneyHouston.com! Hurry over to WhitneyHouston.com to hear Whitney's second single off the most anticipated new album this year, I Look To You. The amazing new track, entitled "Million Dollar Bill," was written by Alicia Keys.
Following the release of Whitney's soul-touching ballad, "I Look To You," the upbeat "Million Dollar Bill" exemplifies the talent and diversity that has made Whitney and international icon and is sure to cement I Look To You an instant classic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Scar ( talk • contribs) 15:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
i love you and i was on the road wen they with my grandma and cousin and aunt on ouer way fron southaven
I believe that this format for the track listing : Template:Tracklist would be better suited for the article and would not take as much space as the current one. (MariAna Mimi 20:49, 31 August 2009 (UTC))
I´m going to rate this article a stub, for the lack of personnel section, please as soon as it´s added request an assessment so it can be rated a B. Zidane tribal ( talk) 02:41, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
I am having the most difficulty trying to attain sales stats for I Look To You. It seems the chart you have keeps changing and that would be good if the changes where consistently going upward. What happened to the counts for Italy, Poland, Austria, Netherlands? What are the counts for Japan, Taiwan, South Africa, or The Middle East. I get the feeling that she is much closer to 800,000 sales by now but I cannot confirm that anywhere. A few days ago, there where numbers posted by each of the countries representing Gold Status...in fact The U.S. showed Gold status and now it seems to have been retracted. What's the real deal and how can I go about finding the stats myself?
Evangelist Lloyd Moore EvangMoore ( talk) 03:33, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
When I look at the song "Like I Never Left" on YouTube. Many are saying "The video will be good" "Next single!!!" "Can't wait to see the video" Is it confirmed that this is indeed the third single or is it just idle gossip? Jayy008 ( talk) 23:25, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
I live in Turkey and i know that Whitney's album reached no 1 in the charts there, can somebody add that to the charts info pls. You can use whitney-info.com as link.
Can somebody also add this information to the Million dollar bill page: Polish sinles chart #1, European Hot 100 #15 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Erestun ( talk • contribs) 21:57, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Why do the sales stats keeping changing...decreasing and increasing but not showing much progress...where does the information actually come from...yesterday there was a reported 200,000 copies for the U.K. and today that has been reduced to 100k...Italy's numbers keep bouncing around also for yesterday Whitney was platinum in Italy...Korea hasn't moved...Germany has disappeared...WTF...can we please get and keep accurate data...or better yet cite an actual traceable source so we can confirm or deny the numbers on our own...Why isn't Japan, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Brazil, Taiwan, Morocco, or Jamaica listed...Whitney is well loved in these countries as well and I am certain she has surpassed what is being reported by hundreds of thousands by now...What is the deal...If I go to RIAA I can't seem to get straight global numbers...can I just call Arista? I mean honestly...please provide accurate info and cite sources that can be verified...I know Whitney Houston's numbers are much better than even the fantastic numbers you keep fluctuating...The numbers are necessary to RUB in the faces of ALL the haters that said she couldn't do it...you know like the haters that said Obama could do it...This year is ALL about YES I CAN and YES WHITNEY DID!!! So lets keep the fire burning and get more numbers and sources... —Preceding unsigned comment added by EvangMoore ( talk • contribs) 05:02, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Alot of the state you speak of have been exxagerated without a source so they have to removed which is why they keep changing as for Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa no websites are known which is reliable for their sales and everything on Wikipedia has to be verifyable. So far it hasn't yet been certified in Brazil or Japan. Jayy008 ( talk) 16:50, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Should a page be made for this song? There's alot of information about it. Lots of reviews. It's charted on two charts in the U.S. It's charted in the UK and Ireland. It was covered by an X Factor contestant. It has a cover and it was released as a download separately from the album as remixes. Jayy008 ( talk) 15:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
Good idea, I'll do it now so look out for it and add to it if you have time. Jayy008 ( talk) 21:26, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Several problems that I notice, need a hard work, so I put the article on hold on until June 28, 2010. (UTC) Tbhotch Talk C. 18:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for this very informative review. I've gone through (and i think i've addressed the issues). Lil-unique1 ( talk) 18:30, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
I've re-reviewed the article, those are new problems. Tbhotch Talk C. 02:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
I am failing the article, I'd gave it a final date (28 June), and it is today. If you feel this is in error, you may request a Good article reassessment or a re-nomination. Tbhotch Talk C. 19:06, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
When i was editing "I Am...Sasha Fierce" which has also been considered as a potential GA, i was told not to insert fansites, sony music or the official site of the singer as these sources often exagarrate. So, this should apply to this article too or it just will not be fair. Netherlands has not been certifying any album since 2006. There are no archives. And when will you guys have a look at "I Am...Sasha Fierce"? ( Jivesh boodhun ( talk) 16:07, 17 June 2010 (UTC))
If you look on the official Whitney Houston website, then the album is written as I Look To You - the To being with a capital T. So why have we got it written in lower case in this article? Regardless of what the correct grammar is, it's not for us to change how it's supposed to be written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.246.131 ( talk) 16:10, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
