It's been in the news quite a bit lately about how Whitney Houston has been struggling through songs at concerts. Many fans have expressed disappointment. And in this down economy, and with concert ticket prices at $100 plus each, I can understand wanting your money's worth.
You be the judge. Here are two videos, one of her latest performance in Brisbane, Australia and the other of her on Divas Live back in 1999.
Now...(2010)
Then...(1999)
Have the years of drugs taken a permanent toll on her vocal chords? Or does she just need more time to get it together? I am hoping that she just needs more time. Maybe it would have been a better thing if Whitney had slowly eased back into performing and did some smaller more intimate venues. It takes a lot out of anyone to do big tours. I am a fan and would love to see her get her mojo back. Praying for you Whitney!
Feel free to leave your thoughts.
Wow! I don't know if Ms. Houston will ever regain her voice. Smoking can take a serious toll on the vocal chords and can cause irreparable damage. She certainly doesn't sound anywhere near the singer of her earlier years. While this is certainly sad for her fans who have looked forward to the return of the diva and her unique ability as a vocalist, this may also become an opportunity for Ms. Houston to find the truth about who she really is, look within and find those other special gifts that God has given her. We await the new Whitney Houston!
