Whitney looks she spent the entire night looking for her hairline and she still hasn't found it
No need to tear her down, she did that all by herself. NO sympathy for drug addiction...everyone is well aware of the evils by the time they’re eight years old. EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS/HER OWN ACTIONS. Bye bye Whitney.
What did Whitney and Micheal Jackson have in common? Twelve year old crack habit.
In a performance that can only be described as rocky at best, a sweat-drenched Whitney Houston attempted to sing her hit “I Will Always Love You” during a concert Monday night in Australia.
Whitney’s weirdness reaches its peak right before she’s supposed to hit the high note — when she suddenly turns around, walks over to a table behind her, and then spends an excessive amount of time gearing up for the big finish.
When Whitney finally gets ready, she comes back to the mic and belts out the chorus to the song ... and let’s just say she gets an E for Effort.
She may look like she was dipped in sh*t and hung out to dry but the lady had some primo pipes at one time. I remember sitting in a tent with my sleeping bag around me in Saudi and listening to her rendition of the National Anthem that pulled tears from alot of soldiers’ eyes. I have never seen the standard she set day even approached, let alone matched. Jeez! She tore it up that day.
Bobby didn’t dig the dookie bubbles out of my butt.

That link should come with a hurl warning
That’s just wrong.
agree she is terrible
Crack, it's bad for you.
Man I thought I looked bad in the mornngs!
She looks like an over-fed crack whore.
she needs a shave too
Disguise as a hasbeen?
At one time, she was absolutely one of the most beautiful women in the world.
I am a Vocal Instructor and Coach by Training and Profession. Maybe I can shed a little light on Whitney’s voice.
What most of us LOVED about Whitney’s voice was its FLEXIBILITY. Her “Runs”, Melismas,(turns on one syllable),and Cadenzas,(Long passages based on scales and arpeggios) were breathtaking. She was able to execute them nearly flawlessly and smoothly. This was her strongest attribute.
However, her vocal placement (which controls the “color” of her voice) was inconsistent. She placed low notes in her chest and high notes in her head, which is very “Old-School”. At some point, the voice has to “break”,when going from the chest to the face, and then another break going from the face to the forehead. This is something that some people find very annoying, and is probably why some people on this thread didn’t like her voice even when she was in her prime.
Inconsistent vocal placement encourages “BELTING” which slams air on the vocal folds and invites blisters and eventually callouses called NODES. Whitney would have eventually destroyed her voice even without the cocaine, but of course, that didn’t help either.
Stevie Nicks goes under the knife frequently to have nodes removed because of her belting, from what I have been told by someone close to her in the business.
I spend hours retaining singers who have been taught this way. It is hard work saving voices.
Just a devastating culural loss for America. But who didn’t know it would come to a bad end when she married Bobby Brown?
I liked her in the movie Bodyguard with Kosner but she doesn’t need a bodyguard now.
