Whitney Houston


I just have to write a little ditty about the one and thankfully only Whitney Houston.  Everyone is abuzz about her "comeback", well if this is a comeback, I would have to rank it as one of the worst ever.  Her album is mediocre, nothing notable or memorable and her "comeback" performance on GMA was just terrible.  Check it out on youtube.com.  Please note that her performance is 80% back-up singers, 20% Whitney.  She is not ready for this, her voice isn't ready, and based on her banter in between songs, she doesn't seem mentally prepared.  She was once the voice, now she is a raspy out of tune "singer". 

A voice is like an instrument, you need to rest it, train it and preserve it.  Can she still sing?  Perhaps, but she needs to take the time to get her voice back in shape.  Was it just a bad performance?  Perhaps...all eyes are on Whitney for a true comeback, maybe she should book the Today Show for 2010 and give it another try.  I like a good comeback so I'm upset this didn't live up to my expectations.  Heck, it could be worse, she could have lipsynched and lathargically moved about stage like Britney Spears.
