Whitney Houston made her official comeback over the weekend in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. One of the concert goers is actually a CL reader, check out what they wrote:
Hi Angel, Brian, & Tianna!
I love CL and I just wanted to say that I attended the Whitney Houston comeback concert on December 1st in Malaysia. She sounded great! I loved every minute. Even though she had some cracks in her voice here and there, it was a really good show. I’m pretty sure some of the footage is on youtube. I hope you post about it.-S. GREEN
Whitney Houston performed “I Will Always Love You” & “Heartbreak Hotel”.
Good Luck Whitney, waiting for the new cd!
Wow. I’m shocked. Absolutely SHOCKED. I am rooting for Whitney as much as the next person, but her voice sounds AWFUL. I expected their to be some damage after all the abuse, but not this much.
I’m gone continue to pray for her, and I hope her voice continues to heal. I want the sister to do well. I really do. I just wasn’t expecting to hear that.
I love Whitney! She’s/ was the best singer the industry ever had.
Doing “I Will Always Love You” it sounded ok…but “Heartbreak Hotel”…EEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
LET ME TELL YOU IDIOTS SOMETHING…..she did drugs, she also aged, the vocal chords are a muscle that have to be conditioned. I bet you idiots think Tevin Cambell can still hit those high notes, after sucking all that “deck”. I aint gonna happen…..WHITNEY needs to do infomercials and maybe be a back up singer for Beyonce…..she is washed up, AT LEAST SHE carries a Towel with her, though
ha ha
We ALL know Whitney’s circumstance…I pray she works through it. I know her voice will never be the same, but I am not totally mad at this being it’s so soon a return post-pipe. We’ve been putting up with K-ci and Jojo for so long on the wrong track….let’s cheer for Whitney as she tries to keep it together
Wow – this was a great post! Good look Angel
I missed Nippy
It’s unfortunate, but her voice is probably permamently damaged – that’s the consequences of some bad choices and decisions. But, the most important thing is that she is clean and hopefully on the come up.
She would probably do better to develop some new material because people will expect her to sound the same on her old stuff and judge her accordingly. She can probebly retrain her voice and deliver some some good new music.
stop hattting! yawl know whitney can still blow, she sounds better than alot of newcomers and seasoned artist out there today….plus she was completly live, no backing tracks or lip syncing, like them other chicks….she hasn’t sounded like “old” whitney in ages, this is the new whitney, she still has a strong voice, it’s just more “textured” lol, like Mariah’s
I just wonder will she ever come out and say what she REALLY was on??
She still sounds good to me. She need some vocal coaching but I still think her vocals are great … Ya’ll act like it was just unbearable to hear .
Whitney voice is Crack-ing………cracking is wack
if she sticks to a voice coach and stop smoking……her voice could probably return to normal.
But honestly……looking right through all of her heavy makeup she’s is just managing that drug problem not trying to beat it, but I will keep prayering for her.
I loved it!
Whitney is awsome.. she’s been though so much.. it takes a strength, guts and TALENT
I loved it!

Whitney is awesome.. she’s been though so much.. it takes a strength, guts and TALENT to do this…
I will always love and respect Whitney!
I WILL ALWAYZ LOVE WHITNEY!!!!
I love that Whitney’s back. Her voice does not sound strong right now, but she’s just getting warmed up. I wish the best for her and hope she stays clean. As a singer/performer myself, Whitney’s a true inspiration. Go Whitney!!!!!!
There was nothing wrong with her voice. There was a lot of echo from the mike that may have made it appear that she was cracking, but her vocals sound clear to me. I think some of yall are on some crack if you can’t hear the difference………sheesh.
I have nothing but love for Whitney Houston. It takes courage and talent to do what she’s done. I’m looking forward to a REAL comeback not this Michael Jackson, Britney Spears stuff…
i actually though she would sound alot worse, they can still work with this voice in the studio. shes never going to sound like she used to but who does anymore anyway. She needs to leave those old 90 ballads in the past anyway and create some create music that suits her voice now and i beleive clive is making sure that happens. this is her first live performance in two years, this was just her getting her feet wet thats why she did it in damn malaysia. once she regains that old whitney confidence and keeps conditioning that vocal muscle WHITNEY WILL RULE 08
@21 Leave my Britney outta this, grrrr!
sorry y’all but she sounded terrible.thats what happens when u abuse the gift u were blessed with. she obviously didn’t care about it,during her drug intakes. her voice is damaged now and it’s neva gonna sound the same.
THIS DID NOT SOUND GOOD AT ALL! I KNOW SHE CAN COME HARDER THAN THIS! I STILL BELIEVE WHITNEY IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED WOMEN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW SO MUCH SUCCESS CAN BACKFIRE LIKE THAT….WHY???? WHY????
Thankfully her album will not be out for another year. Thats sufficent time for her voice to heal, and won’t be what it was 5 or 10 years ago but it will still be pretty good. She needs to work with a coach, and practise dilligently. Not only that stay prayed up too.
she sounds bad to me. i’m not surprised. mariah didn’t do drugs and her vocal chords are weaker as wel’ so since whitney had aged AND has done drugs her voice will obviously be shot. just logic
Whitney sounded horrible compared to how she use to sound over the years. Another example of how drugs will damage your vocal cords is Mary J Blige. She use to blow back in the day, but she has to force a note. MJB still my girl though so I’m not hating.
I don’t want to hear the age excuse, Patti LaBelle can still blow as old as she is. I still think Whitney will be successful though cause after all shes been through and the fan base she’s maintained, people will be eager to support her.
The way people are talking, i’m scared to even watch the You Tube clips. I will say that Whitneys reality show sort of turned me off of her. She is an amazing talent..but she’s ignorant, something I would have rather not known about her, I thought she carried herself better then that. I do wish her the best of luck on her comeback though, it would be sad to see all that great talent go to waste…like how Lauryn Hill is doing. *sheds a stan tear* There are a lot of talented people in that business, but talents like them come once in a lifetime.
I will also agree that I don’t believe age has anything to do with people’s voice. Like someone mentioned, Patti is still blowing, hell so is Aretha… I think it’s all in the way someone takes care of themselves.
Go whitney!! I am listneing to “I Love The Lord” ( Preacher Wife soundtrack) right now!! I pray for major success in your music career
well even though whitneys voice isnt as great as it used to be due to all of her bad choices… she still beats 90% of the singers today with her crackily voice
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.
Did she say she had a few cracks in her voice, or some crack in her voice.
Nah i’m joking.
It seems 2008 may be the year of comebacks..
sounds horrid compared to classic whitney but still better than most chicks out today…THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP….
That sounded HHHHHHOOOORRRIIIIDDDD!!! She ain’t ballin no more. Hang it up Whitney, for your sake at least.
whitney still sounds horrible.
ALL YOU MUTHA FUCKAS CAN KISS MY BLUE CHUCK, CRIP WALKIN, SET TRIPPIN, DRIVE BY SHOOTIN, MUTHA FUCKIN ASS CUUUUZZZZ!!
Oh my goodness..I’m hearing the old Whitney starting to shine through again. It’ll tale some time but, I’m rooting for her to really come back.
She sounds great! period
lol @ number 2.
This crackhead bitch sounds NO different than when she first came out, ALWAYS cheating her notes, flat, off key and BORING! I NEVER got the hype about her voice, it’s one of the WORSE EVER! There is no coming back for her, NOBODY is checking for her and I mean that, where is she going to fit in? She cant do hip hop, she cant be sexy, she cant write, she cant dance, she CANT grab YOUNG peoples attention and DEFINITELY CANT sing as many of you can tell by watching and listening to her voice in this video clip. Those are ALL the qualitys of being SUCCESSFUL in TODAYS music, period!
JANE DOE, you fuckin ignorant ass bitch ass MARY J BLIGE fan I know that’s you!! You are SOOOO fuckin obsessed with Whitney it is PATHETIC! You’re on her titties more than her real fans are, more than her STANS! You’re all up on Whitney’s shit! YOU. ARE. PATHETIC!!!! Whitney should be honored someone like you watches evreything she does, yet be scared at the same time cuz you’re also a fuckin stalker. You’re up on her shit more than you are Mary’s! TEAM WHITNEY!!!!!
I’m sooooo excited to see Whitney out and singing and doing well. Proud of her, praying for her, hope she pulls strong in the coming year.
welcome back Whitney, we have missed you!!!!
great performance, well done. Considering where you were just a year ago to where you are now just makes me so proud of you. Again well done and stay strong girl.
GO WHITNEY
at whitneys worst vocally she stil sounds better than the majority of entertainers today. her voice isnt that bad now, fine she cant hit the big notes but with vocal training she’ll get there
Mary j blige was a druggie too and she can still sing, she went through a rough patch a few years ago when her voice sounded like shit but its really good now.
as much as i did not like miss whit’s choices during the past years. i am big enough to admit she still sounds very good.she will not sound like she was at 24 of course ,you your brains people she is 43 now.as for beyonce being better than miss whit, ok now guyz lets stop smoking the pipe now,she would be apreciative to sound the way whitney sounds now.can whitney do better than this yeah not becoz its bad but the legacy that preceeds her make our expectations as high as they are.last thing if you think we have been listening to real singers in the past 10 yrs ,stop smoking that stuff, iam young only 25 ,i luve the music of my generation but there is very little talent in the singing department its the beats we used to now thats why hip hop has taken off
forgive errors in my text, dont have time to check it out b4 sending hope you gt the msge
I agree with everyone who is saying that this performance was ok and there’s still hope. I am a whitney fan and pray for her to get better. I think a lot of people are just waiting for a chance to knock this woman down for all her wrongs…yes she made bad choices but who hasn’t…there’s no perfect person in this world. I think she should really hook up with some jazz singers for some vocal training and some powerhouse OLD TIME singers…the real ones. I wish people would stop bringing up Beyonce in almost every blog like she’s the best singer in the world….she went through years of vocal training as well because she had no real voice in destinys child…so saying whitney should be her backup singer?…come on that’s straight disrespectful.

Go whitney!! I am listneing to “I Love The Lord” ( Preacher Wife soundtrack) right now!!
_____________________
One of the best soundtracks – and best music. Now that’s singing….
This crackhead bitch sounds HORRIBLE!
Let’s Encourage effort, and Uplift spirits … that’s what we need to do for our own, because THEY won’t.
Whitney’s doing great. I applaud her guts and determination.
Much love to you Whit!
Although i haven’t heard her sing , As long as there is a GOD there is hope! I believe she can get her voice back. She does need make her voice stronger perhaps by taking some singing lessons or something. I will pray for her full recovery. I believe in you Whitney. Do you girl and stay strong.
I THINKS SHE SOUND PRETTY GOOD FOR WHAT SHES BEEN THROUGH..I THINK IT WILL CONTINUE GETTIN BETTER..I LOVE WHITNEY !!!!
yea well I love me some Whitney myself..
However telling by her performance the cracks were only in her voice..shame
*weren’t
well if your vocab is all about calling pple names i think there is no hope in you ever accidentally trip upon logic and use it.you think anyone is not good enough for you just say it in proper terms rather than the illiterate riddled comments we end up making.we have got younger brthas and sisters who have joined cncreteloop which is cool,but some of ‘us’ need education rehad, dont you think. lets keep this this good site civil
(the reason why its attracting more folks).nway you all have valid points ,ultimately it the individual who can only work hard or fall prove peolple otherwise,personally i wish her success not becoz i like her as an indiv but just wanna here music from people who can sing for a change
to Keep it real
You are stupid!! and dumb! How come, whitney will be a beyonce back up. You gys need to stop with Beyonce, S
Keep it real
You are stupid and dumb
How come, whitney should be a back up singer for beyonce. You must be under crack. cause Bee don’t have 1/100000 of whitney talent and her voice is magic, beyonce voice is annoying when she wants power cause she, at amost 30 (even more) still don’t know the difference between VOLUME and POWER. Whoever know how to sing know the dam difference.
And this is really annoying because if you listen to some jazz woman, you will understand that Bey is a joke!!!
I don’t want to criticize Bee but i just can let a dam ignorant coming here prasing Bee when we are talking about Whitney!!
oh and look at Tina Turner, she was 50 or even more when she did her last tour, I believe, that the voice is just something you have to train, you have it or no unless you damage your vocals chords and even , you can still recover it with surgery such Miss Cleine Dion!!
