when whitney houston announced her "comeback" i knew nothing good could come from it. the problem isn't whitney releasing new music ("million dollar bill" is a guilty pleasure for me). it's the fact that when an album is released, a tour is expected. on tour, your voice can't be autotuned and fixed the way it sounds on the record. so, for a former crack addict like whitney, nothing good could come. houston kicked off her comeback tour in australia this week and things aren't going well, much like i predicted they wouldn't. yes, her album can sell millions. but, when people go to a concert, they expect to hear the whitney they know. her high notes of the "i will always love you days" are long gone and she just doesn't have the stamina to perform anymore. when she was "tired" after oprah, i said ok. but, being "tired" or "over worked" has been her excuse for ever major performance since the comeback. check out the painful performance of "i will always love you" that caused concert goers to leave the show early above. the fact that her concert promoter's excuse was that "if you want to hear whitney from the 90s, buy a cd." no, sir. people's talent shouldn't be contingent on the decade. they should stand the test of time. 1990s celine dion sounds just like today's celine. way to ruin a good thing, whitney.
