Whitney Houston gets the Akon treatment on leaked single

Is she singing about her former marriage to Bobby Brown or her former status as pop's reigning princess?

Whitney Houston leaves it ambiguous on her new Akon-produced song, "Like I Never Left," which leaked over the weekend. It's a far cry from the classic material of Houston's heyday, but it's also the first song she's released in five years.

When local urban radio stations V-103 (WVEE-FM) and Hot 107.9 (WHTA-FM) played the leaked song this morning, it received mixed responses from on-air personalities and listeners. The typically diplomatic Frank Ski said it sounded "aged." But some were just happy to have the diva back. Remember, crack is wack.
