Whitney Houston In London

Last night in London, Whitney Houston performed. I had read that hundreds of fans walked out during the show and many demanded their money back because she was so horrible. I finally found a video of the show, and at first she doesn't sound so bad. That was at first. As the video progresses and she sings I Will Always Love You, it sounds like she is strangling a cat. It really is bad.

OMFG, it is *SO* much worse than I expected. I would want my money back too.

nancer said...

how long is this fucking tour anyway? hasn't she smelled up enough venues?

whoever had this brainy idea must be sucking on the same crackpipe as whitney.

blog hopper said...

Is she the answer to the BI about the famous "singer" who really wasn't singing? I forget the BI's nickname.

jess said...

Wow!! amazingly bad, it's so mess up that she can't see it

Susan said...

She just sounds so tired.

Tragic.

Maja With a J said...

Wow. That is bad.

Icecat said...

I hope she realizes that she just needs to stop. Retire. Go back home.. Oh wait, that's ATL.. she can stay in LA, we don't want her back!!

Pookie said...

she needs rehab stat! the promoters are snake oil salesmen in tandem w/ the snake label/mgmt peeps. she is not fit to perform...how much $ is tied in all this?

MontanaMarriott said...

AGAIN, Whit, honey we all know you could sing at one point, so why not be humble and go out with some grace and LIP SYNCH those difficult songs?!?!

Linnea said...

yeah let her go home and resign w some dignity

Liz said...

Woh, that was bad. But what do people expect when she is obviously in need of rehab again? Poor Whitney. I actually feel sorry for her after this. Can't she cancel when her voice isn't up to it? Or does she really need the money?

M.V....I am so convinced Whitney is M.V. and I haven't been proven wrong yet.

Majik said...

Aside---some of the screaming fans in the audience are hitting better notes, Whitney. Time to pack it in.

Patty said...

She may have had the best voice or one of the best voices ever, at leat of her generation of singers. And then she pissed it away on drugs. All those years of abuse may have ruined her gift.

Unknown said...

When is she just going to give up on this charade of a "comeback"?

JJ said...

Very sad. She used to have such a beautiful voice.

bonnjill said...

I attended her first concert back in 1985 or 1986, and we walked out halfway through when she was introducing the band. It was pretty bad. She could at least carry a tune back then, but was singing at half tempo. We weren't the only ones. Lots of folks were streaming out with us. Just sayin' she's never been all that...

New Life and Attitude said...

I want those 5 minutes of my life back (and some Tylenol for my headache). Oy vey girl - just pack it in already.

Unknown said...

Milli Vanilli. It HAS to be her.

califblondy said...

If Britney (who never had much of a voice to begin with) could carry on a tour completely lip synch'ing, why didn't Whitney?

I don't think Whitney is MV, I think it's J.Lo.

Cheryl said...

califblondy: I've always thought it was JLo. She's a fake ass who has a completely different face from her Fly Girls days and she sounds like a bag of wet rats.

Maja With a J said...

Well, if MV was Whitney, I could see why it would shake the industry to its core. If it's J-Lo, I highly doubt anyone would be that surprised.

Seachica said...

I know smoking cigarettes ruins your voice, but does crack?

I wonder if perhaps Whitney was using her real voice early in her career, but as she became a crackhead, her producers substituted her voice, making her MV?

blog hopper said...

No one would be shocked to the core if MV was JLo....I totally think it's Whitney.

hunter said...

woah geez

selenakyle said...

Crack is whack.

B626 said...

she must need the $$$ to still go on in such bad shape

Basil said...

I hate to say this, but Whitney has to be MV.. I saw her in concert back in the lat 80's and even then I kinda though she might be having a bit of help in the production department.

But even if MV isn't her, I know smoking doesn't help your singing voice, but other artists are heavy smokers and still manage to keep it together. Or at least adapt their aging pipes to a different tenor and forget the sopranos. Stevie Nicks is a good example of that and you can't tell me she hasn't been smoking the bad stuff.

Poor Whitney, she should have just done a one time only concert instead of a world tour.

Mother Campfire said...

Did anybody else notice that right after she did the big 'And I....' people just quietly started looking around? OUCH.

And adding a 'there it is' after your voice crackles does NOT help hide it, girl.

Elle said...

What is the MV everyone is referring to? Is it a BI?

Elle said...

There is really no excuse to be tone deaf like this. She is seasoned and to not even be able to sing your own songs in key or know the tempo of the music (she was always ahead) is ridiculous. She hacks and croaks her way through this. Awful. Is she referring to her voice not 'wanting to do it tonight'? There is an Eartha Kitt vibe to her voice now..

flwrgurl said...

how sad...this is horrible.
yah now i'm beginning to think she could be the mv can crack do that to your vocals?

ChasingHeaven said...

MV is straight up Paula Abdul.

krista said...
