I don't know why so many critics have been so hard on Whitney throughout the tour. She sounds alright. It is as if those critics want her to die in front of our eyes the way Michael Jackson had passed away last year and cheer about it. She definitely has had that Billie Holiday voice in there for a long time, and hasn't been afraid to show it. She still puts that intimacy there, and I like it. I really don't know why artists like that can't still sing soulfully.
I had the pleasure to be in the o2 Dublin on Saturday night april 17th where i witnessed a fantastic performance by whitney. She engaged with the crowd and blasted out all her hits and it was an honour to be there. Thanks whitney.
I hope you guys are going to release a DVD with footage of the tour! I find so strange that you post videos posted by fans in youtube when you should have much better footage!!! come on, this is Whitney!!! you can (and should) do better!!! She is doing an amazing job!!!
Just wanted to say we are proud of you Whitney! Congratulations on your come back. You bring JOY to many peoples heart. May God continue to bless you! He is the one who names you not the critics, and He says be strong and courageous! Love you!

Whitney Houston...arguably the GREATEST voice of the past 25 years. However, uh, Houston, we have a problem. Why in the WORLD would her management team allow her to tour with her voice in its current condition??? i can only assume they are motivated by their own financial gain. If they really cared about Whitney, they would have kept her off of the world stage until she was able to restore her voice--assuming that's even possible.
-in my opinion, prior to Whitney, the greatest femal voice out there was that of Julie Andrews.....Unfortunately, she suffered complications from a throat surgery a few years ago that left her unable to sing. However, she has been smart enough to let the public remember her voice as it was, rather than hearing her attempt to sing when she is no longer able to.
Poor Whitney, her great vocal gift seems to be a thing of the past........PLEASE. PLEASE, stop taking the public's money for expensive concert tickets when you can no longer sing....
with the technical wizardry available in the studio, they can still make you sound good on a cd, so please let them do that for you....However, please stop performing live----these terrible performances are simply destroying your reputation as an artist.
@VOLUNTEER Is it still 1987, because I thought we passed a new millennium at some point in the past 10 years??? I may be wrong... BUT she is not 25 anymore and went through years of damage to her health.... So it's an honor to see her out there doing her thing despite all the setbacks she's faced, and it's good know negativity like that which you have exhibited in your post hasn't stopped her!
"Technical wizardry" ???? - Are you kidding me? This is WHITNEY HOUSTON we are talking about, not Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, or even Mariah Carey. (I know Mariah can still perform very well live, but she resorted to Autotune on her last album just to try to fit in to the contemporary music scene - I guess?)
Whitney is the same person she always has been - strong and confident, and sure of who she is, and I am loving it!!

Hi Whitney, We saw you in Birmingham Tues 13th. You were amazing. Thanks so much. One of my best ever days.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Make a Gospel Album!

Please put "I Look To You" and "Greatest Love of all" up - it was soooo amazing!!! Oh and as LJ stated - about the Gospel Album, I´d second that
A Song for You and For the Lovers would have set the dancefloors all over the world on fire if they were released with a great music video! Hot!
Whitney! You are amazing and I love you, can´t wait until you came to Sweden again!!
Please come to Brazil!
I hope you guys are going to release a DVD with footage of the tour! I find so strange that you post videos posted by fans in youtube when you should have much better footage!!! come on, this is Whitney!!! you can (and should) do better!!! She is doing an amazing job!!!
