Whitney Houston has been receiving major flak for her Monday night Nothing But Love Tour gig at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Australia. The Guardian noted that Whit gave “a car-crash performance” and “should stop performing until she can deliver something worthy of her name,” while Billboard reports that the show was savaged by fans as well as critics, and that some ticket-holders were demanding a refund.
Come on, now—it’s Whitney. It’s The Voice! It couldn’t have been that bad, could it? Hop below to find out.
Here’s Whitney doing “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”:
And maybe it’s not fair to judge the 46-year-old diva for a current performance of a song she recorded 23 years ago. So let’s check her out while doing the title track from her 2009 album I Look To You:
It’s kind of like the first time you listen to Whitney’s I Look To You, and frantically fast forward to find the one song, any song, where she belts it out like the old days. There are a few decent tracks on there, and the production values are great. But overall, the whole record just sort of makes you depressed to hear how her voice truly is only a shell of what it once was.
But, look—we weren’t there in Brisbane to witness the alleged live butchering of the Whitney Houston catalog with our own eyes and ears, so who are we to really judge? Instead, we’ll just defer to the concert attendee from this news clip, who said the following when walking out of the show: “She couldn’t entertain a dead rat, to be honest.”
It's true. I wasn't entertained at all. Plus, she was wearing me bloody mother on her head!
This wins as LOL comment of the day.
She couldn’t entertain a dead rat, to be honest. Everybody tried to find excuses for her performance – I ask : How Tina Turner, can perform with an amazing voice on age 60+, and Whitney Houston can`t perform at 46, like in good times ? – she`s done …she looks tired, groggy, out of control …
You guys are pathetic fans. I don't know what you expected her voice to sound like after all she's been through. If she's tired it's probably from putting up with bullshi* from people like you. She'll be fine, I have faith in her and why do you compare Tina Turner to Whitney Houston that's very dumb. Give her a break she's done more for this world than you probably ever did or ever will so stop giving her your a** to kiss.I love you Whitney, keep pulling through.
Incomparable! This important is all I can mention for a article like this important. This kind of is literally a totally insightful article. You must know a lot about this kind of
This is 1 of the finest piece of writing that My partner and i have study till date on this amazing theme. Sincerely wide-ranging yet to the point without the need for any sort of fluff.
Superb write-up, I share the same views. I wonder why this particular population totally does not believe like us together with the blog page founder :-)
I saw Whitney in June 2010 at Manchester and she was FANTASTIC! Seeing the amazing singer that she STILL IS was the best experience of my life!!! And yes i would and will pay to see her again!
AND…………….. The album is absolutely fantastic! There isnt one bad song on there!!!! Which i have never found with any other album (even Whitney’s others) ……………….. Just take it from someone who has actually seen her recently she isnt as bad as some pathetic people make out, yes her voice isnt what is used to be, but what do they say? the taller they are the harder they fall…. well Whitney was the tallest of them all and no one will EVER be as good! EVER!!!!!!!
