Give Whitney Houston a Break
My case in point is that of one of my favorite singers of all time Whitney Houston. Last night on her tour in Brisbane, Australia she had some performance problems. The singer reportedly was breathless and had to take a break in the middle of her hit, "I will always love you," to drink a glass of water. So what?
What I don't understand about this is that Whitney has been doing some good performances since this tour began and we haven't heard about them, only the negative. I saw some clips of her tour in Korea and Japan, she seemed happy, performaned well and looked fabulous.
Considering her age and what her body has had to recover from both mentally and physically, Whitney is a trooper.
She is 46 years old and in the middle of a tour and had to get a drink of water, and once again I repeat the words, "so what?"
In a written statement a promoter of Whitney Houston concert questioned why Australians couldn't support someone "who has seen difficult times."
"She is now up on stage, warts and all, presenting herself like an open book for the world to see, and they want to ridicule Whitney," he said.
"I am personally amazed at the few who are trying to derail the project and say if they expected to hear the Whitney of 20 years ago, go buy a CD." Here! Here!
"If they wanted to see a true professional artist give 100 percent .....well come along and enjoy the ride of an amazing talent, on stage, letting her heart and soul out for us to enjoy."
One news commentator from Australia looked at the tour as a positive experience. She called Whitney sassy, witty and interacting with the audience. She said she realized before attending the concert that she would not see the Whitney of 20 years ago but someone different. She chose to enjoy the Whitney experience and was glad that she had attended.
Being the same age as Whitney only a couple of days younger, I can empathize what it feels like to be 46. At 26 I could go on the dance floor and dance for hours non stop. But now due to old age and health issues I can't stay on the floor ten minutes before gasping for breath, hands on the hips and legs feeling like spaghetti! Ask Janet Jackson does she still have the full "control" of her mind and body that she had twenty years ago.
Anyway I digress, give Whitney Houston a break, she still is a great performer with style, grace and beauty and oh yeah.....she can still sting.

Post a CommentZenovia, 46 years of age is not "OLD" age, it's "MIDDLE" age. Perhaps you are a 46 year old that is in bad shape. You don't speak for all middle age women. Get your facts straight before you write an article. Also, Tina Turner, at 68 years old, can still sing as well as she did back in the 60's. Her dancing has slowed down a little bit, but, she can still dance better, at 68 years old, than people like that Jessica Simpson and Lady Gaga. You mentioned Janet Jackson. Well, Janet was never the gifted singer that Whitney was before her drug use.
I was at Whitneys concert in Brisbane on Monday night and she was fabulous...the show was great the crowd of people near to us were having a blast...we were in the back row..I was there with my teenage daughter and my mother so 3 generations..only Whitney can do that...it was an honour to be there and I would go again tomorrow if I could!
Amen!!
You Know What She Hasn't Been There Since 22 Years Ago. So They Don't Truly Know How Whitney Houston Performs. She Always Does Pause During The Climax Of I Will Always Love You. And You Are Right, I Notice That When Whitney Does Good Barely Any Reports Show, But When She Does Bad, The Reporters Are On Her Like Glue And Honey! She Will Survive, She's A Survivor!
Preach It!
