Whitney Houston : "Nuff Already"

Her fans may always love her, but catty reviewers across Britian aren't exactly singing Whitney Houston's praises following a bumpy return to the stage Tueday night in a rough-and-tumble Birmingham.
Invariably, every negative review including some variation of "Houston, we have a problem," but when they began describing the singer's vocal cords and overall stamina, even the normally prim BBC got in on the act, saying the singer was "panting more than John Prescott running for a bus," a reference to a well known (and chubby) Politician from Wales.
Whitney's performance of " I Will Always Love You," which goes awry at the 4:18 mark.
Houston was suppose to kick off her British tour last week, but had to cancel due to respiratory problems. Her breathing seemed to be one of the main problems, according to several reviewers.
A local paper ,The Birmingham Post, said that although Houston's voice was still there, the stamina was not," adding the 45-minute concert "was constantly broken up with water breaks and chats with the audience to catch her breath.
The Post's reviewer, Alison Dayani, said Houston angered the crowd after six songs when she "disappeared to let her brother Gary and the back-up singers perform some of her tracks while she took a 15 minute break.
One of the song's she chose to let video and backup singers perform was her hit "One Moment In Time."
Her absence so soon after the show began led to boos around the arena, and when she returned to the stage, Houston guipped, "Thank you for being patient, I heard you getting p***ed off.
The notoriously rough-on-celebs tabloid "The Sun" said Whitney seemed distracted, often losing her train of thought during rambling between-song chats with the audienceWhen it came time to sing her signature song ..."I Will Forever Love You," Houston failed to hit the soaring high notes.
One audience member told BBC Radio 5 live: She was good when she was good, but when she was not on form, she was awful.
However , the Independent's Elisa Bray says she admired Houston, who in the face of negative press, stood up tonight to give her all. Was there a smirk on Alisa Bray's face, I do think so?
My spin on this lost cause:I like others loved to hear Whitney sing, a beautiful voice gone to waste. Whitney voice was her gift and she gave it all up for drugs and a crack-head husband, who by the way had a lot of baby mamas. Retire now Whitney and give your voice a rest, everyone know you need to make money to support your habit maybe you can get a job in a chicken shack.
Whitney, you will never be the singer you were in the "Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner. Stay tuned the saga continues:
