After ending a bumpy marriage to Bobby Brown (yeah the guy with a deformed face), Whitney Houston has been looking to revive her singing career. She appeared on UK's X Factor and is currently on the Australian leg of her world tour.
Disappointing performance
However, her performance in Brisbane last night was horrible to put it mildly. The concert was described as "a waste of money, "she couldn't entertain a dead rat" and "the worst act we've ever seen".
The reasons for disappointment
- The years of wasting her life away on drugs were apparent as she appeared breathless and exhausted. In fact, she had to take a break after just two songs!
- She could not reach the high notes like she used to
- She kept forgetting her lyrics and kept coughing during her songs
- She constantly turned her back on the audience and took long breaks in between songs to towel off, drink water and freshen up her make-up
- She could not even introduce her backing band properly
She was without doubt one of the best singers in her prime. Hits like I Wanna Dance With Somebody and I Will Always Love You will forever remain some of the best known classics in music history.
Athough she may not return to her former glory, I am sure given time she will be able to remind people of her amazing talent. There are numerous artists including Tom Jones, Rod Stewart and Neil Diamond who are over 50 and still doing their thing. She is only 46.
So is it over for Whitney Houston?
Only time will tell. Everyone knows what an amazing artist she is. Good luck Whitney. Also see Shania Twain.
