Whitney Houston has proven once again that she is a diva (not in a good way) when she tried to blame being on the Oprah Winfrey Show, which she taped on Monday to air September 14th, for her horrible first public singing performance in Central Park, New York earlier today. She reportedly told the crowd at Rumsey Playfield, where she was singing as part of a segment to run on tomorrow's "Good Morning America" show. She wasn't woman or adult enough to admit her own shortcomings.
Ms. Houston needs to admit the truth about her disgraceful performance -- the years of drug abuse. She sang four songs, including her oldie "My Love is Your Love" and her new single "Million Dollar Bill."Anyone listening could tell that this woman was having serious problems staying on key. Her voice cracked repeatedly. As the New York Daily News puts it, "Houston treated the highest notes the same way drivers with new cars treat pot holes." She couldn't even sing the choruses of her songs. She left that up to her back-up singers and the audience. Sorry, but if this is any indication of what is to come from Ms. Houston, then I am sad to say that she has lost her mojo. I remember back in the day when her voice soared through the stratosphere in her prime. Patti Labelle is 65 years old and yes, she can still hold a note.
Sorry Whitney, I guess I won't "I Look To You" for a phenomenal return after a long hiatus. I give her credit for releasing a new album, but I can't say I am looking forward to another horrible performance.
