Much more egregious than the snapped strap on Whitney Houston’s dress during her performance on this weekend’s X Factor, which inexplicably lit up the Internet today: The realization that her upcoming tour is going to rely a lot on her backup singers and dancers to carry along the proceedings. Which is kind of sad, actually, because there’s a lot to like about her comeback effort I Look To You. I do like the callback to “How Will I Know?” into this arrangement of the the Alicia Keys-penned song’, but I can’t help but think that if girlfriend went on the British talent search as a contestant with that performance, she would not have been put through by Simon Cowell to any next round at all.

When the papers are unaminous that Cheryl Cole outshone you then you’re in trouble.
In many ways mirrored Mariah’s woeful effort on the show last season. Though doesn’t quite plumb the depths of Britney.
@dusty vinyl: Haha, poor Cheryl. I do have admiration for a woman who can casually sample Fleetwood Mac in a dance song though. Dannii Minogue looks like she’s going to a middle school prom in that video, btw, which is apropos of absolutely nothing but bears stating.
I like this song (a lot), and I actually like this arrangement. It’s just a shame about the presentation (although X-Factor, I have decided, is like the SNL of Britain in terms of somehow causing normally competent artists to just sound completely dreadful). I would still pay too much to see the woman live in a heartbeat, though, and if she worked the Freemasons version into a tour I’d probably just about keeeeel over. She should embrace the gravelly voice Marianne Faithful style because, honestly, considering what she’s been through, she wears it well.
