neg: India (cat) __ NOTOC __   India `` Willie '' Bush ( July 13 , 1990 -- January 4 , 2009 ) was a black cat owned by former U.S. President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush . She lived with the Bush family for almost two decades .   The Bushes acquired India , an all-black , female American Shorthair , as a kitten in late 1991 or 1992 when their twin daughters Barbara and Jenna Bush were nine years old . India remained with George and Laura Bush once their daughters left for college . The cat moved with the Bushes to the White House from the Texas Governor 's Mansion in Austin in early 2001 following Bush 's inauguration as President .   Despite living at the White House with the First Family , India had been largely overshadowed in the media by two of the Bushes ' more famous Scottish terriers , Barney and Miss Beazley . However , she 's seen in the `` Barneycam '' videos produced by the White House staff around Christmas time , her first being Where in the White House is Miss Beazley ? , where she was referred to as `` Willie '' . The dogs received significantly more media attention from the White House press corps during the Bush presidency .   The Bush family cat made an appearance in the March 2008 Architectural Digest , as `` Willie '' , in the East Sitting Hall of the White House .   India died at the White House on January 4 , 2009 , at the age of 18 . In a statement to the press regarding India 's death , a spokesperson for First Lady noted that the family was deeply saddened by their cat 's death , and went on to say India was a beloved member of the Bush family for almost two decades . She will be greatly missed .

neg: Cat righting reflex The cat righting reflex is a cat 's innate ability to orient itself as it falls in order to land on its feet . The righting reflex begins to appear at 3 -- 4 weeks of age , and is perfected at 6 -- 7 weeks . Cats are able to do this because they have an unusually flexible backbone and no functional clavicle ( collarbone ) . The minimum height required for this to occur in most cats ( safely ) would be around 30 cm . Cats without a tail also have this ability , since a cat mostly moves its hind legs and relies on conservation of angular momentum to set up for landing , and the tail is in fact little used for this feat .

neg: Lykoi The Lykoi , also called the Werewolf cat , is a natural mutation from a domestic short-haired cat that has the appearance of a werewolf . The mutation has occurred in domestic cats over the last 20 years . Genetic testing done at UC Davis confirm that the cats do not carry the Sphynx/Devon gene . The Lykoi breed was developed in Vonore , Tennessee . The word lykoi means `` wolves '' in Greek .

neg: Jungle cat The jungle cat ( Felis chaus ) , also called the reed cat or swamp cat , is a medium-sized cat native to the Middle East , South and Southeast Asia and southern China . It is a member of the genus Felis and was first described by Johann Anton Güldenstädt in 1776 . Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber gave the jungle cat its present binomial name and is therefore generally considered as binomial authority . Ten subspecies are recognised at present .   The jungle cat is a large , long-legged cat ; it stands nearly 36 cm at shoulder and weighs 2 -- . Its sandy , reddish-brown or grey coat is uniformly coloured and without spots ; melanistic and albino individuals are also known . Moults occur biannually .   Typically diurnal , the jungle cat hunts throughout the day . Solitary in nature , jungle cats do not interact appreciably except in the mating season . The only prominent interaction is the mother-kitten bond . Territories are maintained by urine spraying and scent marking . The cat is primarily a carnivore , and prefers small mammals ( gerbils , hares and rodents ) and birds . It hunts by stalking its prey , followed by a sprint or a leap ; the sharp ears help in pinpointing the location of prey . Both sexes become sexually mature by the time they are a year old ; females enter oestrus from January to March . Mating behaviour is similar to that in the domestic cat : the male pursues the female in oestrus , seizes her by the nape of her neck and mounts her . Gestation lasts nearly two months . Births take place between December and June , though this might vary geographically . Kittens begin to catch their own prey at around six months and leave the mother after eight or nine months .   The jungle cat is a habitat generalist ; it inhabits places with adequate water and dense vegetation , such as swamps , wetlands and riparian areas . Despite its name , the jungle cat shuns rainforests and woodlands . The jungle cat is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List and is mainly threatened by destruction of wetlands , trapping and poisoning . The status of the cat in the wild needs further study , though populations are thought to be declining .

neg: Tonkinese cat Tonkinese are a domestic cat breed produced by crossbreeding between the Siamese and Burmese . They share many of their parents ' distinctively lively , playful personality traits and are similarly distinguished by a pointed coat pattern in a variety of colors . In addition to the modified coat colors of the `` mink '' pattern , which is a dilution of the point color ( as in watercolors ) , the breed is now being shown in the foundation-like Siamese and Burmese colors : pointed with white and Solid overall ( sepia . ) They are also now designated a natural breed , as their history has now determined them to have been extant since the 14th Century .

neg: Cat Power Charlyn Marie `` Chan '' Marshall -LSB- ʃɑːrlɪn_məri_ʃɒn_mɑːrʃəl -RSB- ( born January 21 , 1972 ) , better known by her stage name Cat Power , is an American singer-songwriter , musician , occasional actress , and model . Cat Power was originally the name of Marshall 's first band , but has become her moniker as a solo artist .   Marshall was discovered opening for Liz Phair in 1994 by Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth and Tim Foljahn of Two Dollar Guitar , with whom she recorded her first two albums , Dear Sir ( 1995 ) and Myra Lee ( 1996 ) , on the same day in 1994 . In 1996 she signed with Matador Records , and released a third album of new material with Shelley and Foljahn , What Would the Community Think . Following this she released the critically acclaimed Moon Pix ( 1998 ) , recorded with members of Dirty Three , and The Covers Record ( 2000 ) , a collection of sparsely recorded cover songs . After a brief hiatus she reemerged in 2003 with You Are Free , featuring guest musicians Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder , followed by the soul-influenced The Greatest ( 2006 ) , recorded with numerous Memphis studio musicians , and a second covers album , Jukebox ( 2008 ) . In 2012 she released the self-produced Sun , which opened at number 10 on the Billboard 200 , the highest charting album of her career to date .   Critics have noted the constant evolution of Cat Power 's sound , with a `` mix of punk , folk and blues '' on her earliest albums , and elements of soul and other genres more prevalent in her later material . Her 2012 album Sun incorporated electronica , in a self-proclaimed move from the `` really slow guitar songs '' she initially wrote for the album .

neg: Kellas cat The Kellas cat is a small black feline found in Scotland . Once thought to be a mythological wild cat , with its few sightings dismissed as hoaxes , a specimen was killed by being caught in a snare in 1984 by a gamekeeper named Ronnie Douglas and found to be a hybrid between wild and domestic sub-species of Felis silvestris . It is not a formal breed of cat , but a landrace of felid hybrids . It is named after the village of Kellas , Moray , where it was first found . The historian Charles Thomas speculates that the Pictish stone at Golspie may depict a Kellas . The Golspie stone , now held at the Dunrobin Castle Museum , shows a cat-like creature standing on top of a salmon which may allude to the characteristics ascribed to a Kellas of catching fish while river swimming .   Andrew Kitchener , researcher and Natural Sciences curator at the National Museum of Scotland , examined eight specimens of black felines . One carcass was already in the Museum 's collection ; the remaining seven were supplied by Di Francis , who is described by Thomas as a `` writer , researcher and practical naturalist '' . Kitchener 's analysis identified one of the animals as a melanistic wild cat ; this juvenile male was the first wild cat ever documented as melanistic in Scotland . Most of the other specimens examined were concluded to be hybrids but more closely aligned to the wild cat ; only one hybrid leaned more towards a domestic cat .   The Kellas cat is described as being 24 to long , with powerful and long hind legs and a tail that can grow to be around 12 in long ; its weight can range from 5 to . Douglas had measured the animal snared in 1984 and he stated it was 15 in to shoulder height and 43 in in length . A specimen is kept in a museum in Elgin . The Zoology Museum of the University of Aberdeen also hold a mounted specimen that was found during 2002 in the Insch area of Aberdeenshire .

neg: Maine Coon The Maine Coon is one of the largest domesticated breeds of cat . It has a distinctive physical appearance and valuable hunting skills . It is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America , specifically `` native '' to the state of Maine ( though the feline was simply introduced there ) , where it is the official state cat .   No records of the Maine Coon 's exact origins and date of introduction to the United States exist , so several competing hypotheses have been suggested . The breed was popular in cat shows in the late 19th century , but its existence became threatened when long-haired breeds from overseas were introduced in the early 20th century . The Maine Coon has since made a comeback and is now one of the more popular cat breeds in the world .   The Maine Coon is a large and sociable cat , hence its nickname , `` the gentle giant . '' It is characterized by a prominent ruff along its chest , robust bone structure , triangular body shape , an uneven two layered coat with longer guard hairs with a silky satin under layer undercoat , and a long , bushy tail . The breed 's colors vary widely , with only lilac and chocolate disallowed for pedigree . Reputed for its intelligence and playful , gentle personality , the Maine Coon is often cited as having `` dog-like '' characteristics . Professionals notice certain health problems in the breed including feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hip dysplasia , but reputable breeders use modern screening methods to minimize the frequency of these problems .

neg: Ring-tailed lemur The ring-tailed lemur ( Lemur catta ) is a large strepsirrhine primate and the most recognized lemur due to its long , black and white ringed tail . It belongs to Lemuridae , one of five lemur families , and is the only member of the Lemur genus . Like all lemurs it is endemic to the island of Madagascar . Known locally in Malagasy as maky ( -LSB- makʲ -RSB- , spelled maki in French ) or hira , it inhabits gallery forests to spiny scrub in the southern regions of the island . It is omnivorous and the most terrestrial of extant lemurs . The animal is diurnal , being active exclusively in daylight hours .   The ring-tailed lemur is highly social , living in groups of up to 30 individuals . It is also female dominant , a trait common among lemurs . To keep warm and reaffirm social bonds , groups will huddle together . The ring-tailed lemur will also sunbathe , sitting upright facing its underside , with its thinner white fur towards the sun . Like other lemurs , this species relies strongly on its sense of smell and marks its territory with scent glands . The males perform a unique scent marking behavior called spur marking and will participate in stink fights by impregnating their tail with their scent and wafting it at opponents .   As one of the most vocal primates , the ring-tailed lemur uses numerous vocalizations including group cohesion and alarm calls . Experiments have shown that the ring-tailed lemur , despite the lack of a large brain ( relative to simiiform primates ) , can organize sequences , understand basic arithmetic operations and preferentially select tools based on functional qualities .   Despite reproducing readily in captivity and being the most populous lemur in zoos worldwide , numbering more than 2,000 individuals , the ring-tailed lemur is listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List due to habitat destruction and hunting for bush meat and the exotic pet trade . At present ( as of early 2017 ) , the population in the wild is believed to have crashed as low as 2,000 individuals due to habitat loss , poaching and hunting , making them far more critically endangered .

neg: Archy and Mehitabel Archy and Mehitabel ( styled as archy and mehitabel ) are the names of two fictional characters created in 1916 , by Don Marquis , a columnist for The Evening Sun newspaper in New York City . Archy , a cockroach , and Mehitabel , an alley cat , appeared in hundreds of humorous verses and short stories in Marquis ' daily column , `` The Sun Dial '' . Their exploits were first collected in the 1927 book archy and mehitabel , which remains in print today , and in two later volumes , archys life of mehitabel ( 1933 ) and archy does his part ( 1935 ) . Many editions are recognized by their iconic illustrations by George Herriman , the creator of Krazy Kat .

neg: Cat agility Cat agility is a sport in which trained cats are lured through timed obstacle courses by their handlers .   Cat agility contests , like similarly themed dog agility contests , are modeled after the equestrian sport of show jumping . Under the rules , cats must complete a course in under 270 seconds , completing each obstacle in a prescribed manner . Lures such as laser pointers and toys on string may be used , but food treats are not allowed . The obstacles are arranged in a circle and include tunnels , steps , and poles . For a typical contest there are between six and fourteen obstacles , and the winning cats complete the course in about ten seconds .   The first known cat agility contest was held in Albuquerque , New Mexico by Vickie Shields and three friends in 2003 . By the late 2000s , the contests were popular worldwide , with approximately 40 held each year in connection with cat shows . In the US , the two largest cat fancy organizations , The Cat Fanciers Association ( CFA ) , and The International Cat Association ( TICA ) both have feline agility competitions , which have met with mixed success and popularity . CFA awarded its first National Agility Win in the 2006-07 season , with the top cat in Agility competition being Zehnder 's Twyla Mooner of Hitails , a blue Abyssinian female . Twyla was born in 2005 and competed in -- and won -- her first agility competition as a five-month-old kitten , without ever having any prior training , or practice in , running an obstacle course .

neg: Saliega Saliega is an Iberian lynx who in 2005 became the first of her species to give birth in captivity .   Saliega was born in the wild in March 2002 in Sierra Morena ( Spain ) . As a one-month-old with little chance of survival in the wild , she was taken by the Andalusian authority and arrived at the Jerez zoo on 17 April 2002 . There she was raised together with Aura , a female of the same age born in Doñana , until both were transferred to El Acebuche Breeding Center , in the Doñana Nature Park in Huelva , on 21 February 2003 .   On 28 March 2005 , Saliega became the first Iberian lynx to breed in captivity , giving birth to three healthy kittens . Prior attempts at captive breeding had failed because the mothers ate their kittens immediately after birth . The father was Garfio , a three-year-old male from Sierra Morena , who was taken to El Acebuche in February 2004 for the breeding program . Two of the cubs -- Brezo and Brisa -- survived while the third , Brezina , died as a consequence of a fight with Brezo .   On 22 March 2008 , Saliega gave birth to three more kittens at the El Acebuche captive breeding centre in the Doñana Nature Park . They were born at 64 days gestation . One of the young was rejected by the mother , and the Junta de Andalucía 's Environment Department reported on March 24 , 2008 that the rejected kitten had died .   The Iberian lynx is critically endangered , and is considered the world 's most threatened feline species . Studies conducted in March 2005 estimated the number of surviving Iberian lynx to be as few as 100 , which is down from about 400 in 2000 and down from 4,000 in 1960 . If the Iberian lynx were to become extinct , it would be the first big cat species to do so since the Smilodon became extinct 10,000 years ago .   Saliega produced a total of 16 offspring . In February 2013 , she was sterilized following discovery of a mammary tumor , and her unfertilized eggs were collected and frozen . In January 2014 , she retired at Zoobotánico de Jerez .

neg: Major film studio A major film studio is a production and film distributor that releases a substantial number of films annually and consistently commands a significant share of box office revenue in a given market . In the North American , Western , and global markets , the major film studios , often simply known as the majors , are commonly regarded as the six diversified media conglomerates whose various film production and distribution subsidiaries collectively command approximately 80 to 85 percent of U.S. and Canadian box office revenue . The term may also be applied more specifically to the primary motion picture business subsidiary of each respective conglomerate .   The `` Big Six '' majors , whose operations are based in or around the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hollywood , are all centered in film studios active during Hollywood 's Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s . In three cases -- 20th Century Fox , Warner Bros. , and Paramount -- the studios were one of the `` Big Five '' majors during that era as well . In two cases -- Columbia and Universal -- the studios were also considered majors , but in the next tier down , part of the `` Little Three '' . In the sixth case , Walt Disney Studios was an independent production company during the Golden Age ; it was an important Hollywood entity , but not a major . Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , United Artists , and RKO were majors .   Today , Disney is the only member of the Big Six whose parent entity is still located near Los Angeles ( actually , on Disney 's studio lot and in the same building ) . The five others report to conglomerates headquartered in New York City , Philadelphia , and Tokyo . Of the Big Six , Paramount is the only one still based in Hollywood , and Paramount and Fox are the only ones still located within the Los Angeles city limits , while Disney and Warner Bros. are located in Burbank , Columbia in Culver City , and Universal in the unincorporated area of Universal City .   Most of today 's Big Six control subsidiaries with their own distribution networks that concentrate on arthouse pictures ( e.g. Fox Searchlight Pictures ) or genre films ( e.g. Sony 's Screen Gems ) ; several of these specialty units were shut down or sold off between 2008 and 2010 . The six major studios are contrasted with smaller production and/or distribution companies , which are known as independents or `` indies '' . The leading independent producer/distributors -- Lionsgate Films , The Weinstein Company , and former major studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer -- are sometimes referred to as `` mini-majors '' . From 1998 through 2005 , DreamWorks SKG commanded a large enough market share to arguably qualify it as a seventh major , despite its relatively small output . In 2006 , DreamWorks was acquired by Viacom , Paramount 's corporate parent . In late 2008 , DreamWorks once again became an independent production company ; its films were distributed by Disney 's Touchstone Pictures until 2016 , at which point distribution switched to Universal .   The Big Six major studios are today primarily backers and distributors of films whose actual production is largely handled by independent companies -- either long-running entities or ones created for and dedicated to the making of a specific film . The specialty divisions often simply acquire distribution rights to pictures in which the studio has had no prior involvement . While the majors still do a modicum of true production , their activities are focused more in the areas of development , financing , marketing , and merchandising . Those business functions are still usually performed in or near Los Angeles , even though the runaway production phenomenon means that most films are now mostly or completely shot on location at places outside Los Angeles .   Since the dawn of filmmaking , the U.S. major film studios have dominated both American cinema and the global film industry . U.S. studios have benefited from a strong first-mover advantage in that they were the first to industrialize filmmaking and master the art of mass-producing and distributing high-quality films with broad cross-cultural appeal . Today , the Big Six majors routinely distribute hundreds of films every year into all significant international markets ( that is , where discretionary income is high enough for consumers to afford to watch films ) . It is very rare , if not impossible , for a film to reach a broad international audience on multiple continents and in multiple languages without first being picked up by one of the majors for distribution .

The singer began recording the album in 2007 in Anguilla , after writing and composing most of its material during and after her 2006 Adventures of Mimi Tour . Carey worked with several notable songwriters and producers during the course of the project , including Jermaine Dupri , Bryan-Michael Cox , Stargate , The-Dream , Tricky Stewart , Scott Storch and Danja .   The album revealed a more personal side of the singer , illustrated in its declarative theme of emancipation from her previous marriage , and from her personal and professional setbacks . Although it shared similar vocal production as well as an inclination to her signature pop and R&B ballads , the album also encompassed a variety of dance-oriented and uptempo styles . It was meant to be a continuation , or a second part of her tenth studio album , The Emancipation of Mimi ( 2005 ) . Carey collaborated with a number of artists on the album , including T-Pain , Damian Marley and Young Jeezy . Though considered by critics very similar to the formula its predecessor had been built on , E = MC ² included other genres she had never explored , such as reggae , and her continued recording of gospel-influenced hymns .   E = MC ² was generally well received by music critics , with many complimenting the record 's broad genre influences , and musical and production styles . Some critics , however , felt that the album was too similar to The Emancipation of Mimi , and did n't offer anything new from the formula . The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with opening week sales of 463,000 copies ; the highest first-week sales of Carey 's career . It opened inside the top-five on the albums chart in Australia , Canada , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . The album achieved worldwide sales of over 2.5 million copies .   Four singles were commission in promotion of the album . The album 's lead single , `` Touch My Body '' , became Carey 's eighteenth chart topper on the Billboard Hot 100 , making her the solo artist with the most number one singles in United States history , surpassing the record held by Elvis Presley . Additionally , it gave Carey her 79th week atop the chart , tying Presley for most weeks at number one . It achieved strong worldwide charting , peaking within the top five of the singles charts in Italy , Japan , New Zealand , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . `` Bye Bye '' served as the album 's second release . Although hailed by critics , and expected to have achieved large commercial success , the song stalled at number nineteen on the Hot 100 , and managed to chart weakly internationally . Both the third and fourth singles , `` I 'll Be Lovin ' U Long Time '' and `` I Stay in Love '' failed to garner success in any prominent music market .

neg: American burlesque American burlesque is a genre of variety show . Derived from elements of Victorian burlesque , music hall and minstrel shows , burlesque shows in America became popular in the 1860s and evolved to feature ribald comedy ( lewd jokes ) and female striptease . By the early 20th century , burlesque in America was presented as a populist blend of satire , performance art , music hall , and adult entertainment , featuring striptease and broad comedy acts .   The entertainment was presented often in cabarets and clubs , as well as music halls and theatres . Performers , usually female , often created elaborate tableaux with lush , colorful costumes , mood-appropriate music , and dramatic lighting ; novelty acts , such as fire breathing or contortionists , might be added to enhance the impact of their performance . The genre traditionally encompassed a variety of acts : in addition to the striptease artistes , there was some combination of chanson singers , comedians , mime artists , and dancing girls , all delivered in a satiric style with a saucy edge . The striptease element of burlesque became subject to extensive local legislation , leading to a theatrical form that titillated without falling afoul of censors .   Burlesque gradually lost popularity beginning in the 1940s . A number of producers sought to capitalize on nostalgia for the entertainment by attempting to recreate the spirit of burlesque in Hollywood films from the 1930s to the 1960s . There has been a resurgence of interest in this format since the 1990s , and it inspired a 2010 musical film , Burlesque , starring Christina Aguilera and Cher .

neg: Whitney Houston videography The videography of American pop/R & B recording artist Whitney Houston consists of fifty-five music videos , four music video compilations , a concert tour video and three music video singles . In 1983 , Houston signed a recording contract with Arista Records and two years after released her eponymous debut album . Houston 's first music video was for the single `` You Give Good Love '' , which was selected to establish her in the black marketplace first . In the video of worldwide hit `` Saving All My Love for You '' , she played a beaming All-American girl shadowed by her secret lover 's wife . The following video `` How Will I Know '' , directed by Brian Grant , that helped introduce the singer to a wider audience when it became one of the first videos by a black female singer to earn heavy rotation on MTV , blasting open the doors for a whole generation of R&B and pop divas to follow . The clip won MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video at its 3rd ceremony of 1986 . `` Greatest Love of All '' , the final single released from Houston 's debut album , which helped cement the M.O. for the classic Whitney video . In June 1986 , Houston released her first video compilation The No. 1 Video Hits , containing her four music videos off the Whitney Houston album . The video compilation reached number-one on the Billboard Top Music Videocassettes chart and stayed at the top spot for 22 weeks , which remains the all-time record for a video collection by a female artist , and was certified Platinum for shipments of 100,000 units by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) on July 15 , 1986 . In 1987 , `` I Wan na Dance with Somebody ( Who Loves Me ) '' , the first single from her second album Whitney , was one of Houston 's most recognized music videos in company with the song 's smash hit worldwide . Houston 's fashion and hairstyle in the clip -- towering curly wig , colorful dangly earrings and a series of going-to-the-club outfits -- became one of her iconic looks .   In November 1990 , Houston released her third studio album I 'm Your Baby Tonight . The video for the title track from the album , was what passed for a high-concept clip from Houston , in which she paid tribute to three different legends in film and music industries : Marlene Dietrich , The Supremes and Audrey Hepburn . On January 27 , 1991 , Houston , wearing a white tracksuit with a red and blue print and matching athletic headband , performed `` The Star Spangled Banner '' at Super Bowl XXV , held at the Tampa Stadium in Tampa , Florida . Due to overwhelming response to her rendition , the performance was released as a video single , which was certified 2 × Platinum by the RIAA in April 1991 . Such Houston 's patriotism-boosting-performance for the national anthem led her to give Welcome Home Heroes with Whitney Houston concert , which was for the troops , their families , and military and government dignitaries in honor of those returning from the Gulf War . The concert was released as a VHS ( later also LD and DVD ) in the same year and it was certified Gold for shipments of 50,000 units by the RIAA . Though Houston is acknowledged as one of the best live performers , up to date , the live footage is her only full-concert video that has been issued officially in the United States .   `` I Will Always Love You '' , one of Houston 's iconic videos , was the clip for the lead single off the soundtrack for Houston 's 1992 film debut The Bodyguard . In the video , directed by Nick Brandt , the camera focused on an elegantly suited up , forlorn-looking Houston sitting in an empty theater and staring into the distance as she watched clips from the movie scroll by . Houston blasted into the song 's towering finale via a quick zoom to her face , eyes closed , and then popping open as she hit the high notes . The idea and the camerawork helped Houston to deliver perfectly the titanically tear-jerking drama of the song . Her other notable video from The Bodyguard Soundtrack , `` Queen of the Night '' , featured Houston performing the song in a club dressed in a metallic costume , which were inspired by scenes from Fritz Lang 's 1927 silent film Metropolis . After Houston contributed to her songs on the soundtracks for two films , in which she also starred , Waiting to Exhale ( 1995 ) and The Preacher 's Wife ( 1996 ) , she teamed up with Mariah Carey in the video for `` When You Believe '' from The Prince of Egypt Soundtrack . In November 1998 , Houston came back to pop music full-time with My Love Is Your Love , which returned her to heavy rotation . The singles from the album , `` Heartbreak Hotel '' , `` It 's Not Right But It 's Okay '' , and `` My Love Is Your Love '' , were all US top 5 hits , and Houston was also once again embraced by MTV thanks to her willingness to let her style and approach evolve in her music and the videos . During that time , most of her music videos were directed by Kevin Bray .   Houston began the 2000s with her first greatest hits compilation , Whitney : The Greatest Hits , which spawned three then new videos including two for the duet songs that she collaborated with Enrique Iglesias on `` Could I Have This Kiss Forever '' and George Michael on `` If I Told You That '' . The accompanying video/DVD of the same title was also released at the same time , which contained Houston 's promotional videos from 1985 to 1999 and several hard-to-find live performances including her 1983 TV debut on The Merv Griffin Show . In December 2002 , Houston released her fifth studio album , Just Whitney . Two music videos from the album , `` Whatchulookinat '' and `` Try It on My Own '' , were considered her answers to the media for getting too deep into her personal life and to malicious rumours surrounding then her public image . In the former video , she confronted the issues with a white set with an overhead camera and mirrors on its walls , following and reflecting Houston 's every move . In the latter , did with the storyline strongly reminiscent of her high-profile firing by Burt Bacharach from the 2000 Academy Awards ceremony for not singing `` Over the Rainbow '' during rehearsals for the show . In August 2009 , Houston returned to the music scene with her fourth Billboard 200 number-one album , I Look to You , which yielded `` Million Dollar Bill '' and `` I Look to You '' videos .   Most of Houston 's notable videos involve just a bit of perfunctory storyline and focus on her performance , however , several sources recognized her as one of pioneers who laid the groundwork and broke down barriers with the videos during her generation . In 2003 , VH1 ranked Houston at number three on the list of '50 Greatest Women of the Video Era ' . In February 2012 , TIME , on a photo article in honor of Black History Month , listed her as one of '50 Cultural Giants ' . Gil Kaufman from MTV News said that '' -LSB- Houston -RSB- proved you could make a fuss without making a spectacle , '' and added his view on Houston 's legacy as follows :  The legendary R&B singer -LSB- Houston -RSB- became one of the most important artists of the early music-video era by taking the road less traveled . -LSB- ... -RSB- While such fellow trailblazers as Michael Jackson and Madonna created video fantasy worlds full of monsters , gangsters , street-fighting men and naughty brides , Houston mostly skipped the drama and stood front and center in her most iconic clips doing the thing that she did best : singing her heart out .
