Whitney Houston's Train Wrecks In Australia "WTF"

Australian fans are in an uproar after watching Whitney Hoston flub her way rhrough a concert in Brisbane on Monday night . The 46-year-old diva reportly took a break after just two(2) songs, brought her brother onstage to hit her high notes and slurped from a water bottle through a closing performance of "I Will Always Love You."

"She couldn't entertain a dead rat," one concert-goer told the press outside the show. Yikes.

Monday's performance at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre was the first of several Australian stops on Houston's comeback "Nothing But Love" tour. It was an ominious Down Under rebirth for an R&B queen frequently dogged by rumors of health and drug problems.

Today, concert promoter, Andrew McManus took to defending the star against the many ticket purchasers calling for a refund.

It was not a train wreck, McManus told Agence France-Presse of Houston's performance . Houston was hitting most of the notes; yes, her throat was a little croaky. Her health is fine, but she's also not 22 years of age anymore.

The promoter's comments are of little consolation to those who paid up to $200 for seats. One fan tells Brisbane's Courier-Mail, I have e-mailed the fellow down in Melbourne to get our money back but I don't think we will get it.

"We saw Liza Minnelli and she was marvelous ," the fan continued. "but this one just walked all over the stage going: Um, I got to go and have a drink."

According to oncert reviews cited by the AFP, Houston appeared to concert reviews cited by the AFP, houston appeared disoriented during the show, relied heavily on upon backup singers, and struggled to remember the names of her bandmates.
This show was like watching a slow and painfully death of a living legend, a Courier-mail reader wrote in.
McManus saw it differently. If you[fans] expected to hear Whitney of 20 years ago, go buy a CD. Maybe the guy got a point.
******************************
My take on this crap: The fans should get a refund, $200 a seat, They expected to get more. Wouldn't you? McManus is full of himself, he's hoping to get paid before it go up in smoke or alcoholic......it's tough being an addict of any
kind if you don't change your habits and do things different from what got you there in the first place. Stay tuned: The Whitney saga continues.
