Brain Damage
Posted by Bossip Staff
Rocks are one helluva drug:
“Whitney Houston was reportedly so scared of forgetting the words to her hit songs at her recent comeback concert in London, she had the lyrics taped to her dressing room wall.
Houston, who is set for a career revival with a new album later this year, was determined not to make a mistake during the performance. So the hitmaker asked for the words to all the songs to be printed out and displayed in her dressing room – so she could memorize them thoroughly before going onstage.
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, ‘Whitney was really nervous before her set. She didn’t make any diva demands, and was polite to everyone. She spent 45 minutes reading the lyrics, mouthing the words and holding her hands as if in prayer.”
We got to give it up for Whitney for making that extra effort to over come being burnt the f*^k out. Word is she knocked ‘em dead in the concert, but then again, with low expectations, anything is possible.

Ummm, PLEASE tell me that this is NOT a picture of Whitney!!!!!!!!!!
SMDH
That ain’t rocks, that’s old age.
I’m sure there are alot of people that go over the words to their songs…at the ones that aren’t lipsyncing
Aww good luck Whitney! Her poor voice.
Negrodamus Believes Whitney Houston was under the high powered London brand PCP called “the Amy Winehouse”..
Negrodamus also Believes an award for Craig David is long due. He has single-handily taken over the UK drug trade..His associates include
Mick Jagger- Consigliere
Elton John- Underboss
Spice Girls- Capo
@negrodamus…SMDH
If she got to tape her lyrics on the wall, let her do it. I’m glad she did good and kudos to her for going the extra effort. But as much as I love Whitney, I can’t see a spectacular comeback in her near future. I hope she has one but I just can’t see it right now.
Love Whitnei Houston and I’m glad she values her audience enough to work on giving a good show. How long has she been working on this album?
Ain’t nothing wrong with asking for her lyrics to be printed out so she could memorize them.
AT LEAST SHE’S TRYING TO DO BETTER…
dead@ Negrodamus
where have you been?
It’s a struggle I’m sure but she will get there.
She’s done.
It’s said he recently joined a celebrity and million aire dating site named ‘S earching M illionaire**coM’.
is he looking for hotties or rich women there? it’s reported Charlie Sheen has dated a hot model there.
Whitney was paranoid because she was high..if she stops hitting the drugs, the words will flow.. she needs rehab Clive!
Praying for a miraculous comeback for our dear Whitney!! Grew up listening to all her songs..I hope she can preservere!!!
blab, blab,
so what she has the words to her
song tape to dressing room walls
and so what …..
this is breaking news!!!!
I LOVE YOU WHIT FUK THEM HATERZ GET IT TOGETHER, I WILL FOREVER LOVE YOU!YOU GIVE GOOD LOVE TO ME! I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS GOD SPEED SISTA!
YALL COULD HAVE SHOWN A BETTER PIC OF WHIT MAN!GOT HER LOOKING LIKE A FEIN!
A lot of singers post their lyrics on weird places so they won’t forget the words. Some tape lyrics on the stage floor so they won’t forget during a slower song, when they have to perform with a mic and a stand in one place. So that ain’t really “rocks.” It’s more like, “making sure you don’t forget the words so you won’t get booed off stage.”
She’s “coming back” likes Sly Stone is coming back.Which is to say NOT EVER AGAIN.Pity.
go whitney…i will always love you!!!
WTF IS WRONG WITH YALL BOSSIP! LEAVE THIS WOMAN ALONE. WHY ARE YOU GUYS ALWAYS HATIN’ ON WHITNEY? THAT WOMAN GOT MILLIONS, AND SHE IS NOT THINKING ABOUT YALL!
Whatever it takes for Whitney to get back to star performance status.
Ya’ll mothaf*ckas better show some respect! Thats Whitney “F*cking” Houston man!!! The biggest, and most selling female BLACK pop star of all time!!! The VOICE!! Stopit with that because like Anita Baker said she is our Barbara Streisand and we need to treat as such. Thats my idol so I mite be a tad biased but listen to her 1st 4 albums including ALL of her soundtracks and tell me she aint the greatest vocally. I mean I love Mariah yet she put out twice as many albums as Whitney & has claimed all the records and she dont even blow like she used to. Her songs go with the times, whateva is hot. Thats like Usher being considered better because he out sold Stevie Wonder. Huh?
Well, all I can say is at least Whitney is trying.
That picture is so old. The people that run this site must have wanted to be celebrity and didn’t work out. Because even when you try and give a compliment it just comes out so nasty. So tells alot about what type of people you all are.
First of all the reviews were more than she did okay. The reviews were the voice is back. They gave her a twenty minute standing ovation. And when you are a talent like her there is no making a comeback because they never leave. She does not even have to make an album and could go out on tour and sell out. You see sweetie that is being a diva. And she did it with out having to show most of her body on stage, without having to slide down a pole, or without making mind numbing lyrics.
So don’t underestimate true talent. If the majority of these new singers went away from the biggest one to the smallest one they could be replace. Because they are created. Everything from their voice to their images. That is the difference between her and the fake divas walking around today.
This is nothing! Many artists with a huge catalogue of songs forget their lyrics from time to time.
I hope she makes a successful come back.. I miss Whitney
Kudos to Whitney. Thank the Lord, she got off the drugs!!!
Excatly lovely one, Kudos to Whitney, sounds like she is trying hard…must be a good man at the background!
Bossip, why do you hate Whitney Houston so much as to print that pic from 5 years ago when there are fabulous pictures of her looking fabulous like back in the day from the event this past weekend? It’s not like Whitney is one of those no-talent hos you’re always going on about, love her or hate her, she’s one of the most talented people in the history of music.
Good for her! Come on back Whitney! We miss ya baby!
she’d look more attractive with her mouth closed
I really love Whitney, but I expect her to have a difficult time because I’m told drugs can do some serious damage to your brain. Especially if you’ve done them for so long. IDK.
Of course, drugs and alcohol abuse kills of your brain cells, and these brain cells cannot grow back….as she gets older she will suffer because of it, but with this demonic stem cell stuff, i guess she has enough money to hope for an aborted baby to restore her memory!!!
whitney will make a come back, just wait and see.
I see nothing wrong with this, when you have recorded as many songs as she has, and then adding new ones to the show…make it work Whit!
TO THE BOSSIP STAFF:
This is what I don’t understand about Bossip: if Whitney is trying to make a comeback and she is sincerely doing her best, then WHY WHY WHY would you people post THAT picture from her drugging days and make comments about past abuse?
It was a moving story about a humbled woman who is working her ass off to get her life back together! How often do you see that these days?! So why the hell don’t you fucking people FULLY SUPPORT her instead of this half-ass shit?? We don’t have many stories of Black entertainers coming back from the brink. The girl is TRYING, dammit! Cut her some fucking slack already! Stop with the snarky “rocks” shit and give her a boost!
This is the most goddamn “crabs in a barrel” blog I have ever seen!
I HATE BOSSIP. I stopped coming here long, long ago. I THOUGHT i’d come over and see what was going on in here. Nothing but
the usual.
They say Black is run by Jews. Like that site, ‘JOSSIP’.
I BELIEVE IT.
I HATE BOSSIP

change “black” to Bossip
wow, you wonder why Blacks folks cant get ahead as a people? we’re to busy bringing down one another instead of lifting them up. props to Whitney on a great show with nothing but great reviews.
WHITTNEY IS AN DISGRACE TO ME NOW AFTER THIS SHE HAVE LOSS ALL MY RESPECT AFTER THIS BECAUSE AT ONE TIME WHITTNEY WAS FINED BUT NOW IT IS DEFINITELY HELL NO.
I want Whitney to make a strong, positive comeback. She is one of my favorite singers and I am glad to have heard that the London concert was superb.
*That picture of Whitney up there is to’e down!*
Being with Bobby Brown has dumbed down Whitney to his level. She’s now a female version of him. She’s a disgrace and a train wreck, yet she continues to be paid for her on stage shenanigans. Many have lost all respect and hope for Whitney and leads me to say, we like you so better……gone.
WHAT THE FUCK BOSSIP!! I emailed you bishes the new pics of Whitney looking all nice and beautiful from this concert along with a great review and you don’t post it, BUT YOU POST THIS BULLSHIT ASS OLD PICTURE AND THIS ARTICLE??! WHAT THE FUCK!? YOU GUYS ARE WACK! FUCK YOU BOSSIP!
“I must have rehearse my lines a thousand times. Until I had them memorized” lol She looks a hot mess.
Yo Bossip! Wassup with the crab in the barrel stuff? Why you gotta dig so deep in your archives and pull out the craziest pic you could find of Whit? I’ve seen her looking good in recent photos–you couldn’t find any of them? The sista is trying to co the come-up thing and you’re hating.
What career? Ain’t nobody payin to see no nearly 50 year old burned out crackhead who still shows up to her concerts 4 hours too late. That ish ain’t goin to fly. Whitney just needs to call it a day and live off whatever royalties she got comin in. It’s a new day and age. She didn’t go out on top like Janet and Mariah. Too late Whitney. But it’s the young gals time to shine.
Please bossip…..Report some real shit.
I must agree with @ sparkle.when Whitney had fans
behind her, she choose to not seek help with a known
addiction.Unlike Bobby, Whitney came from money, so of course the rumors, that he introduced her to drugs,is possibly true. Whitney could be in a class with ,Patty Labelle,Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker. Seasoned divas that will still bring it long after their looks,and shapes have faded. but the respect remains.I trully wish Whitney the best,But her time has come and gone……..
When she first came on the scene, rumors was she was gay.there was an article in a magazine that did not name her,but said: What new artist, with a song climbing the charts has a female associate,saying that they’re more than friends?At that time you could put it all together,and more and more the rumors kept coming.Truth or not, Whitney kicked her to the curb.She couldn’t have her image tarnished.
And she was “Advised” to change the company she was keeping for the sake of her career.Personally, I wouldn’t let rumors ruin a good friendship. {If it wasn’t sexual)and if it was, she could have kept that shish in the closet.So,to try to stay 2 steps above the rumors,She gets involved with a Bobby Brown,Someone who could possible help shake off her dyke vibe.He had a hot body, and was on the come up.
But see that’s why it was so easy for her to get into drugs, she was hiding who she really wanted to be.And F.Y.I. the song “I have nothing” was written for her old female lover.So, by not being true to herself and her heart,Thats what she has, nothing.
