Ignore the curiously moist, hair system and the bloated features of Whitney Houston's cat-like face in an interview to promote her (overseas only!) "Nothin' But Love" tour. Compared to the incomprehensible backbiting remarks Whitney made, her unfortunate physical appearance falls to a distant second.
In her interview, Whitney decides to take the pop stars of today down a peg or two, slamming singers who wear "Halloween costumes" as dark and offering pearls of wisdom on being a woman of integrity and dignity. This from the woman who giggled as a story about her husband sticking his hand up her poopchute to relieve her constipation was broadcast on reality television. Such an effin' lady.
Watch the offending interview below.
Jump to 2:03 - Whitney says that she believes the "success" of her comeback album is a sign that the general public is thirsting to hear talented singers just sing. She chuckles in self-aggrandizement, counting herself as one of those "real" singers in her own head. Yes, this from the woman who had concertgoers walking out of her shows for her vocally deficient, high note-skipping god awful concerts in Australia. Not to mention her piss poor Stateside televised performances. Whitney, even if people really wanted to hear singers sing, you ain't it. You can't even put on a decent show.
Jump to 2:48 - Whitney slams today's pop stars for relying on what she calls, "Halloween costumes" and "weird clothing" to promote their art. She cowardly hides behind the "I'm not talking about anyone specific" disclaimer and calls artists who engage in such theatrics "dark." Wanna take a whack at who those comments are aimed at? Rihanna and Lady Gaga come to mind, but arguably the same could apply to Beyonce who's no stranger to crazy costumes herself. What's hilarious about Whitney's critique is her assertion that artists who dress up are hiding their true selves. This from a woman who attempted to pass herself off as a glossy, former beauty queen with a squeaky clean image, only to have the whole PR scheme upended by her dysfunctional marriage and sordid drug abuse. Who's really got something to hide, Whitney? Better to wear your masks on the outside than the inside.
The fact that Whitney Houston can sit up and throw shade the way she's throwing it after the catastrophic face-first hurdle her career took into the landfill of scandal and dirt for the past 5 years is a sign of bold jumentoness. Only an ass without a shred of self-awareness would dare launch into the verbal jabs Whitney threw at her much younger peers given her murky past. But as history has shown, nothing is above or beneath Whitney Houston. Except for crack, which we all famously know, she deemed to be wack.
