I don't know why people keep holding their breath for Whitney Houston to become what she once was. The "Saving All My Love For You" Whitney is gone. The "I Will Always Love You" Whitney is dead. All of the talent, grace and poise people used to associate with Ms. Houston went up in a puff of coke. Stop hoping, stop booking her broke-down ass for shows thinking she's gonna pull a rabbit out of her hat. I know, some people will say, "But Mariah was able to pull it off." Mariah is was temporarily insane. Besides, "Glitter" was a stressful project. But I think Whitney Houston has drug-induced brain damage, there's no coming back from that.
Black Voices' Jawn Murray relays the story of Whitney's performance at the Plymouth Jazz Festival in Tobago over the weekend and it wasn't pretty:
R&B diva Whitney Houston disappointed a sold-out crowd who came to see a rare performance by the trouble-prone singer at the Plymouth Jazz Festival in
Tobago on Sunday, April 27.
The 'Greatest Love of All' singer performed on the last night of the festival, just before headliner Rod Stewart took the stage.
Houston opened her show with 'Its Not Right, But Its Okay' and by her third song, 'Saving All My Love,' the once soprano's newfound tenor tone was in full rasp.
Delivering only seven songs during her 30 minute set,
Houston
was reportedly paid a whopping $3 million for the show.
Though journalists were flown in from all over the world,
Houston
refused to allow media and photographers within 200 feet of the stage. She brought her own photographer to the venue and only he was allowed to shoot her performance.
Wearing a white gown with a single shoulder strap,
Houston skipped around the stage and continuously shouted to the crowd: "I love you Trinidad !'
Unfortunately, the concert was in
Tobago!
Locals shouted back each time: "This is
Tobago!"
See, Bobby was telling y'all the truth. Whitney IS the problem, not him.
