Sounding a Little Shaky
Posted by Bossip Staff
Whitney Houston performed “I Will Always Love You” at her comeback concert in Malaysia this weekend. Poor thang. Those vocals ain’t what they used to be. All those rocks probably permanently disabled her ability to hit the high notes.
She does get an “A” for effort though, at least she didn’t forget where she was performing like Bobby did a few weeks ago.

HAHA she got BOBBY-ITIS; fatal for even the strongest career!
Please Bossip she sounds good considering what she’s been through! (14 yrs. of bobby brown) I wonder what some of you may sound like after that!lol
That’s not bad!
Recently, quite a few celebrities were said to appear on the millionaire luxury club MeetRich.com. OMG!!! Are these famous guys fond of internet dating for now?? Maybe they are indeed so rich that they feel boring sometimes to need new things?
Can’t knock her for putting herself up there. Hope she gets back to her best.
BTW, have u all seen those pics of Aretha Franklin from the weekend? That woman needs to stop wearing thin strapped dresses FFS. She needs boulder-holders and for someone to shout, “Step AWAAAY from the KFC bucket!”
It’s ok. She’s not as strong as I’m used to seeing, but I think she can get her voice back and be better as ever. I swear to God, though, this meetrich f*cker…….
I still have faith in her!! give her a lil time she’ll be ready!!!!
And what’s shaky is Aretha on a card table….
That’s wrong but….
yea she couldn’t hit the high note at the end, but it was o.k. considering………….
Po Thang.

Come on Bossip? Yeah drugs damaged her voice, but come on now. Who the hell still sounds the same (even without drugs) after ten years? *****ody. Drugs and all, Whitney still sounds damn good and can sing circles around all of todays singers!! Go Whitney, we ready for the comeback!!!
DAMNNNNNNNNNNNN WHITNEY.. CRACK IS WACK!
she still sounds good but time and Bobby have taken its toll on her voice.
I think she sounds different but still good. I didn’t expect her to even sound that good after all she has put herself through.
Ya’ll need to stop giving her a dayum p*****! If this were some ordinary jane schmo, sure its good, but this WHITNEY! Multi Award winning, blow your mind WHITNEY! I don’t want to hear her cracked out voice until she sobers up! and I don’t believe she’s sober now.
And singers who are *healthy* and take care of their voice sound just the same or even better than they did years ago! i.e. Mariah, Mary, Patti, etc. We all know drugs and alchohol ruin your voice. Stop accepting sub par bull*****! THIS. IS. *****.
….And that’s why she’s performing in Malaysia. That ***** wouldn’t fly here. I’m not paying for a sympathy performance. SOBER. UP.
She probably has much damage to her vocal cords it doesn’t take much. There are artist who have completely lost their singing voices FOREVER due to drug abuse and health issues. Nippy is so blessed to be able to sing at all. Bobby was an abusive, drug addicted enabler. Her family must hate him for what he did to her.
She’s a survivor ,no doubt, and I’d like to see a comeback.
who can out sing her besides Patty!!The girl still got it!
Fiddy
“who can out sing her besides Patty!!”
C*****ie!! & Ciara!!
aahaaa hahaha (just kidding)!!
Whatever she Whitney went through, she put herself through – not Bobby. She was and is a grown woman with her own mind. She’s paying for all that crap she put herself through but I hope she can get back to a certain degree of success.
She sounds great to me!!!! Still better than the majority of all singers out right now…
She needs to sing all new songs.. She still got that “gift” or “divine favor,” to please her fans.
don’t blame all her problems on bobby. she was already a *****e head long before bobby. she did that to herself.
Snickers, please with that damn Gravie!! And no, I dont like Mr. Cherry Choco Rain- actually I am terrified. Stop torturing me please…
Whitney sounded good to me, I mean- it was a video recording and probably all distorted anyhoo on the audio. bossip, stop reaching!!
so CubaLinda!!
you mean to tell me he does absolutely NOTHING for you??
nope!!
don’t believe you!!
to those who blame time and age for whitney’s voice, she’s not that old. patti sings just as well as she has for years and she’s in her 60s.
Whit destroyed her vocal chords, and is missing her top teeth. Yes, drugs really did that to her. Not just Bobby. Bobby may have been a catalyst, but not the direct cause.
Never “kick the gift horse in the mouth”. Whitney was blessed with the gift of song and she abused it. I hope she can make it back. Peopls…let this be a lesson.
Oh yeah, she married Bobby Brown. No one forced him on her.
At least she sounds way better than she did when she performed live at that Michael Jackson special they had a couple of years back. Thank the lord she is healthy and doing good. I just hope that this success is a permanent one and not just something temporary. Keeping fingers crossed
She sounds fine. You people need to get alife and stop critisizing someone who is trying to pull her life together. *****ody postin’ can outsing that woman. *****ody “singin” these days can outsing that woman.
she sounds a fool now …compared to live performances from the “BODYGUARD” and “WAITING TO EXHALE” dayz…and Whitney’s not that old so i really cant give her a p*****….however i’d still pay to see her being that she’s still vocally better than 90% of da chicks out today
I think she is starting to sound much better than a few years back but she still doesn’t have her spectacular voice that she once had…I loved whitney’s voice and is still a true fan praying for her and hoping she gets a great vocal coach to bring it all back.
She sounds terrible. It takes a while of being off drugs before your cords get back to being anywhere what they used to be. Mary is case in point. It took her a couple years before her voice and range came back. In Whitney’s case she can’t get away with being raspy because she sold her self as a pop vocalist. She need to go sit down for a couple more years then attempt a comeback.
Hmmp. Hmmp. Hmmp!
Some people are just waitin’ to hate!
No, she doesn’t sound like the ealrier Whitney we’ve grown to love. Yes, she did severely damage her voice over the years.
How-is-in-eva—
I would glady take Whitney as she is today over any of these non singing, tatted up, always trying to be relevant, supposed to be artist we have today!
Kiss my butt and Merry Christams! Lol!!!!!!!
@ KingHenry–
You make a good point!!!
OK. OK. You don’t have to kiss my but but have a Merry Christmas! Lol!!!!!!!!!!
She sounds freaking awful!
wtf! i wouldn’t have paid anything to hear that…i would have wanted a refund…she sounds a mess. she is not above a little vocal coaching…people would burn mariah at the stake if she sounded like that!
She still sounds better than %90 of those hos out there. Most of them still cannot f**&% with Whitney, I hope when she does good you guys put her on blast too.
She sound amazing, just listen here! This woman has survived abuse, drugs and publis humiliation! She is a Gooddess!
I’m sure Whitney is well aware that her voice isn’t what it used to be but she has her own personal mission to accomplish. People will have their opinion. Some will hate. But when it comes down to it, she’s doing it for her. As long as she believes that God will see her thru all her struggles then she’ll be fine.

I saw Kiesha Cole recently in concert and she was NOT NEARLY as good as what I just heard and I’m tired of that off key ***** “No One….UHH UHH UHH UHH UHH” by Alicia Keys….So WTF is up with Bossip’s poster? If Whit is trying to get/stay clean and rebuild her career, be supportive sister…because this is beter than the olympics crap from last year….and that’s keeping it real
Why every damn body blame Bobby for her trouble. Bobby didn’t make her to have the ***** she’s done to herself. Damn…need to quit all this ***** on Bob!
Losing her powerful, beautiful voice is just a tragedy. That’s what happens when you take things for granted. I can’t bear to listen to the off-key, out-of-tune, ho***** sound that comes out of her mouth. I use to think she was the greatest singer in the world but she let Celine Dion kick her off that pedastal.
Maybe if she stopped smoking cigarettes,talking ***** and staying up late in addition to stop using marijuana, crack, alcohol and go to the best throat doctor in the world (whoever s/he may be) she might have a chance.
Other than that I’d rather she not sing at all in public, it makes me sad.
Bossip what did you all hear. She sounded great. Whom ever runs this blog you seem to really hate black women. You never have anything nice to say about black women. Every body is just waiting to say something bad about her. You have the whole hollywood praying for Britany Spears but when it comes to our own we just can’t wait to tear her down.
She didn’t sound her best, but, this is her first concert in several years. She is probably just getting her voice back use to performing. But she did not sound terrible. And you only heard a few minutes of the performance. Had she did that song last. Did you get the last few minutes of a whole concert.
I will go to you tube and hear the whole song for myself. And don’t forget she sings live. That’s not a record track that is anacutally voice. Play the whole song and dig a little deeper. Bossip you could do better.
I don’t think Bossip runs down people anymore than any other gossip site. I love to hear about the good, bad AND ugly and if I didn’t I would avoid coming to sites like this. I hate *****o sites and I don’t go to them to say how much I hate them.
No one takes my fingers and makes them type bossip.com, enter. Besides, plenty of us say really complimentary things about the folks here, Whitney included. This is a place where anyone can express any opinion. I like it.
Everything has its limit – iron ore cannot be educated into gold.

We as a people need to look at our own backyard before we begin to hand down our opinons about others. I’m sure that somewhere in your family their have be similar problems or worse and if not count your blessing. Whitney and Bobby have parents also, nothing is harder to watch your child no matter how old they are, go thought what they put themselves though. When they decided to take this path they took all who love with them,and all you could do was to stand and watch. We enjoyed Whitney when she was at her best let’s not judge her for life in the fast lane for we all have been in the fast lane at sometime in our life.Let’s not dwell on the past
that why it’s called the past let’s encouge our sister and wish her well.And I agree her voice is still better then some of the young woman singing today. Let’s just pray the that demon that took control of her and Bobby lives will not return.I believe that the prays were heard and answered. Let’s think before we speak!!!!
