Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston just can’t seem to catch a break these days.

First, her voice repeatedly cracked at her first comeback performance in New York last month (she blamed Oprah), and this weekend she made an appearance on the British reality television show ‘X Factor’ Saturday night was marked by a wardrobe malfunction.

Around 2:20 the strap on the back of Whitney’s silver dress breaks. She notices around 2:30, looks momentarily disconcerted and continues her performance of ‘Million Dollar Bill’ unfazed. “I sang myself out of my clothes,” she tells host Dermot O’Leary afterward.

    Whitney really looks beautiful and gave a great performance. Her producers may need to go ahead and send her to a pathologist to teach her exercises to get her vocals back in shape. All of the yelling and smoking contributes to hoarseness and short life on the vocal chords. Once she gets through that part, she will be fine. I had to do it for 18 weeks and thank God I got everything back. She is really taking a great chance singing such power chords right now though. I almost lost my entire speaking ability behind almost the same thing. I pray that she is careful with her gift. Good luck Whitney!

    People keep commenting about her voice cracking. With all the stress she put on her throat, she is blessed to have what she has now. In time, it may come back. she still has a powerful voice. I remember that Anita Baker lost her singing voice for 2 full years. But it came back.

    Whitney looked so beautiful :) . You are so right DeeVee8, I TOTALLY forgot that Ms. Anita Baker lost her voice some years back. Whitney Houston is still a POWERHOUSE and a great performer. Funny thing is that she sounds better than most of the artist out now at her worst compared to them at their “best” (prime). Now isn’t that a shame (smh)?!? Go Whitney!!!!

    Um, the top of her dress was too small. You can see rolls from it being too tight and Whitney is skin-ty. Of course it was going to pop. She looks preggers too.

    Welcome back Whitney.

    Natalie Cole lost hers, Patti Labelle, and Stephanie Mills…Most times is from a lack of sleep! Whitney needs to hit da treadmill up, and get them lungs in shape! the VOICE is mosdef there.

    More than likely just a publicity stunt,cause you know she can’t hit them high notes no more.Her voice be “CRACK(ling)”…pun intended.I’d be honest with ya’ I wouldn’t pay to see her in concert,if she can’t do what she was widely known for…and that’s “Hittin’ High Notes”…It’s good to see any one clean up their act though.Maybe Bobby,can do the same and act right…and get back with “New Edition”

    so what if she had a wardrobe malfunction… you want her to stop performing so she could fix her bra strap.. whitney is a professional she knows she gotta finish the song.. stop the music hold on stop my bra strap came lose 5 minute intermission pleaseeee…. yall media people look to make news out of anything.. leave whitney alone she doing her thang

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/teddybear_82/ teddybear_82

    wow.. her voice is not the same.

    Whitney is awesome. We all fall short but it is up to us to want to come back on top.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missstrings43/ missstrings43

    Ha! 44_Tech_Nyc..that’s funny because Keyshia Cole (ghetto fabulous too)..stopped her concert and actually told them to stop the music to do what she wanted them to do for her…
    I agree with teddybear-82 too..her voice is not the same. When she hits that A note, she stops singing because she can’t hit it. That used to be her signature note wasn’t it.
    I don’t really care about her come back to music and fame..I wish her prayer to just stay away from the crack and other drugs of choice so she can just be alive and survive now. She has a lot of people who really do care about her. Get better sis!

    What is wrong with this generation? I have been reading these, and so much negativity and hatred. Yall act like yall never did drugs, and YES Black people Weed is a drug. And we all know you got 1pot head in the fam (It’s a Drug) I’m not talking about just reg weed, cause half the people started smoking reg. in the beginning ain’t smoking reg. now. You don”t know what you smoking. Stop acting like your sh!t is so clean that you can talk about others. You have No room to Talk about nobody. Check your Demons first: Alcoholic, Drug Addiction(Weed too), Gambling, Stealing(If you didn’t ask to borrow, its still stealing) Liars, Adultry, etc. Feel the conviction…

    Im glad to see she is back.. Sounded a lil dry tho…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Seperating/ Seperating

    she still rocked it!!!!!!!!

    I don’t like her single, it sounds too “R. Kelly-ish” but I guess that’s a given since he produced it. Still, the song is dry and not like Whitney at all. Though her voice will never be the same again, I hope she don’t sing no more “R. Kelly-ish” “Alicia Keys-like” songs. Go back to the basics Whit!!
