Whitney Houston :Weight Gain And Can't Sing Disappoint Fans Overseas..."OUCH"


There's little chance that Whitney Houston's European fans will always love her after her current world tour wraps.
As many news outlets have reported, what was supposed to be a comeback tour for "The Bodyguard" actress has turned into a mess of sorts with fans walking out of her concerts in droves. As previously reported, the six time Grammy Award - winner has suffered from various health problems over the past few weeks and has postponed four dates on her European ' Nothing But Love' tour. Now comes news of her Denmark fans walked out of her concert last week.
Though she sounded composed and strong on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' last September, Houston's performances as of late in Birmingham, England and London were off key and pitchy and featured the 'Didn't We Almost Have It All' singer who, during the early 1990's was international known as 'The Voice' - struggling to actually get words out. Instead , some of her legendary verses are now talked out instead of belted in the mezzo-soprano tone that her fans have come to expect.
On June 4 in Denmark, the 46-year-old fromer chart-topper reportly appeared sweaty and bloated on stage.. Music crities from the country's major newspaper, the Copenhafen Post said she "looked and sounded like a person who doesn't have many years left to live." They rated the 'I Will Always Love You" singer's performances at a zero.
It was reported it was so bad that a few hundred (100) people walked out of the concert and when it ended only half of her audience remained. Those that left reportly said "she talked too much" during the performance.
There were recent rumors of a drug relapse, and even an unexpected pregnancy(she officially divorced Bobby Brown last year), but no denials and confirmations have come from her camp just yet.
Houston has cited allergies and air condition problems as reasons for her missed shows and resiratory infections . It's unclear if she was sick during the Denmark show, but one thing is for sure, she's not living up to her fans expectations.Stay tuned the saga continues.
My spin on Whitney's crappy mess: However when you have a voice like Whitney used to have, it is a unique and precious instrument that must be cared for. Unfortunately, it is still a case of diminishing return if you complicate matters by smoking crack, you cannot EVER expect to return to that level.
It's like beating a "Stradivarius" with a hammer. Once the damage has been done, it will never sound as good.
Kicking back and keeping it real....

  1. What a shame it is. She had such a gift with that voice of hers. But she got with a bad boy and her life went downhill. Maybe she is trying to clean up her life again, and if so, good for her, but she won't ever be the same. Damage is done.

    A shame when people waste their life, their talents...

  2. Hi PIc, What a marvellous day. The weather was perfect. Jeremy looked great with his new haircut, new suit and shoes.Unfortunately, with the gown on top and the special honors cape on top of that, the poor guy was sweating bullets. We cheered and stamped when he went up to get his diploma.We were so proud of him.It seemed to be a contest all afternoon as to who could scream the loudest for their kid.

    Then we all got together for the family reception after. Jer's dad still looks great. His partner looks pretty old though. His mom, our daughter Jane looked lovely in a pretty summer dress.She said I looked nice too.I think Jer was proud of us.
    We went out for a celebratory drink and then had to return Jer to the university for the special dinner and dance.

    Brian flirted with the woman sitting beside him the whole time we were in the auditorium.They were chatting away through the whole ceremony.When we got home he was all touchy feely with me and I told him to go ask his new friend.

    We're going to relax outside with a cool drink now. I hope you are having fun, whatever you are doing.

    Whitney is a sad, sad mess. I feel sorry for her. She ruined her health and her voice and after ten years of abuse expected it all to magically recover.That was foolish. And a world tour when you are not in good health is never wise.This may just defeat her completely.

  6. Thanks Lina,
    Our new blog will be all about bashing celebrities, politicians or any famous person who needs a spanking. A blog name should reflect the purpose of the blog.We wanted to call it Bash but that name was already taken.So any and all ideas are appreciated.

    We will keep this blog also, of course.

    In fact, 'Celebrity Spanking' is not a bad option...See'ya.
