There were plenty of stories in the media here about people walking out of her shows. I don't know anyone who went to ask about it though.

It's a shame - I wasn't a fan, but I admired what she used to be able to do.

I tried 3 times to play that video but it kept stopping at the 42 second mark and I couldn't get it restarted,maybe that was a good thing.

For a second I thought you were talking about Houston the city. I was about to get all offended. :lol:

As far as Whitney Houston goes, I thought pop music was supposed to sound like that. :P

:lol: It is!

It must have been so embarrassing doing her staple song sooooooooo badly, she completely chokes and all those people had paid a lot of money. Don't know why but they did.

Good one Floyd.I finally got it to play through,she is seriously burnt out she couldn't carry a note if it had handles on it.It's time for her to either pack it in for good or go back into rehab and singing lessons.

Yeah, that was sad to see and worse to hear. What is she thinking, trying to perform? and the people closest to her, to let her do it!! :shock:

Big time, for a complete diva who comes across as a full on professional this is just terrible. Never been a fan of any of that warbling up and down vocal pish but truly sad to see a talent diminish.

Yeah right CC, I just can't get my head around the assumption, that she must
have rehearsed all of this show and sounded just as bad then.
And nobody told her!!??? I just don't believe it man. Wow.
You gotta think, 'that girl ain't got no decent friends'
I'm not putting this too well. It's just that I can't believe what I saw and heard.
She was a sensational singer once and that is just too tragic.
If you know what I mean? Anyway life goes on. :wink:

100% know what you mean Rhumba! Exactly. When she was rehearsing she was probably surrounded by 'yes' men/women the whole time. It's sad that she maybe didn't have anyone close to tell her she sounds terrible before she crippled her career and reputation in the public eye. As you said, life goes on. Just thought some people would find it interesting. Bit different from my usual Nazareth and Izzy Stradlin video links. :lol:
