Robbie Williams And Whitney Houston Rumored To Replace Michael Jackson In London

wenn-williams-whitney.jpg

Well, the O2 has a big space to fill after Michael Jackson's death, and they're planning on filling it with Robbie Williams' comeback and Whitney Houston.

That is of course if the latest British media reports are to be believed.

While there's no doubt Robbie will be able to sell out the arena, Whitney has never been known for her live shows. That would be a mistake!

      Perez - what the fuck is wrong with you these days? Whitney is AMAZING live and could sell more tickets at the O2 than that has-been Williams. Sure it won't be long til you're sucking up la Houston's ass for some kind of exclusive

    10. 10

      Eh I would much rather see Whitney than Robbie. At least Whitney is sort of in the same caliber as Micheal Jackson… Robbie is erm… NOT!



    11. 11

      Whitney Houston is the perfect choice. She is the female Michael Jackson all around. Not as good of a performer as Jackson, but you could also say Whitney is a better singer than Michael so don't come at me bringin the BS about how they arent equivalent entertainers. Again, a perfect choice. Robby Williams is big in the UK right? He definately isn't of the same caliber as Michael or Whitney though.



    12. 12

      And also, Perez, get your fn facts straight. Whitney is known to be a live performer. Come on, I know you're not dumb, but WHY must you say dumb things like "Whitney has never been known for her live shows". Please.

      yeah!
      please Robbie come back!!!



    18. 18

      "Whitney has never been known for her live shows" Actually that isn't true. She was very impressive live 90-98, especially 91-93, people flocked to her concerts. Her voice pounded you in concert…heart stopping, awe inspiring.



    19. 19

      Remember people Crack Heads are Crack Heads forever!!!!!!!! No hope!!!!!!!!



    20. 20

      Whitney is the perfect choice. She's most definitely known for her LIVE performances. She's a singer's singer. She's a living legend. She's making a big comeback and people will want to see her.



    21. 21

      Sorry for you people who have never heard of Robbie or had the chance to see him live as he is amazing live and would sell these shows out in no time. Was fortunate enough to see MJ live in Sydney twice, but if anyone can compete on a live level with MJ it would be Robbie.



    22. 22

      ew thats some bad karma ..dont do it!!



    23. 23

      Re: blahblah12 – yes Whitney is a singer who can entertain a crowd of people because she has TALENT as a singer..she doesnt need 20 people on stage with her to get a standing O.. MJ had to cover his lack of singing ability by distracting the stage with dancers. I hate that shit when I want to hear a SINGER>



    24. 24

      Re: alexjjjj – PERFPMER??? you mean DANCER…thats what HE was..not a good singer since he was a preteen.



    25. 25

      Re: blahblah12 – totally agree with you!! they dont call mj the king for nothing… i mean take billie jean for example, just michael and the stage… perfect!!
      idiots who say mj cant sing.. well he sure sold alot of records, more than anybody else i believe,and he is still selling them today!! and the way he smashed box office records with his o2 concerts was amazing! bloody good going for someone who cant sing!! LMAO!!!



    26. 26

      well i suppose somebody has got to fill the space, obviosly there isnt an artist alive today that could sell out the o2 arena 50 times over in record breaking time, and it wont be the same as watching the king grace the stage with his amazing singing and dancing but im sure they will be good none the less.
      best of luck to them, they are both good.



    27. 27

      Re: kissmyassobama – have you hijacked that computer your using? are you not letting anybody else have a turn? i havnt seen that mj fan use it since june… hmmmm, strange that. you know the one that was saying they "liked mike" and it was such a shame what happened..
      come on, dont be selfish, wasnt you taught how to share??? let them have a little turn!



    28. 28

      If ROBBIE did that I would be on the FIRST plane to London! I would DIE to see him live but he never tours America. BRING IT BACK ROBBIE!!!!

      Re: MJ ROCKS!!! – "i havnt seen that mj fan use it since june… hmmmm, strange that. you know the one that was saying they "liked mike" and it was such a shame what happened.."

      I know really… Funny how things have changed in July. Actually had the nerve to say that someone got in his account on this site and wrote those positive comments about Mike… PLEASE. And this Tabloid Junkie says Michael couldn't sing when he was and still is known as one of the best male vocalist ever. The last time I checked, no matter the artist, if I buy their music, no way can I see that artist dancing based off of what I hear coming from the speakers, I can only hear their voice and that is why Michael's music sells like no other. Oh boy maybe I shouldn't have said that, Iv'e been told that I speak as if I think Michael was a God. Hopefully that doesn't come across that way just because I said his voice was like no others.



    30. 30

      NOOO not robbie williams….ugh



    31. 31

      HAHAHAHA! I AGREE FAT PEREZ. HALF WHIT CANT SING THESE DAYS. REMEMBER HER KAZAKHSTAN CONCERT LAST YEAR? OR MOROCCO? OR T&T CONCERT BEFORE LAST YR?? WOW SHE WAS TERRIBLE! SHE WAS GOOD BACK IN THE DAY - YEA, 20 YRS AGO. NEW SINGLE IS A SNOOOZE, VOICE IS COMPLETELY GONE. CLIVE DAVIS IS DEAF I SWEAR… OLD MAN NEEDS TO RETIRE.



    32. 32

      finnally somebody who could break MJ´s record and sell out O2 50 times in less minutes!!!! Afterall the guinness book of records speaks for itself, if there´s someone in the world who could sell millions of tickets in minutes is Robbie!!!!
      And I´ve seen him live…it´s spetacular!!!!Envy who comes to London
      ps: good to see you talking about Robbie, Paris, he´s THE celebrity



    33. 33

      Re: WhitneyMyLove

      LOL, YOU'RE COMPLETELY SPOT ON. PEOPLE THINK OF HALF WHIT FROM 20YRS AGO. THAT HALF WHIT IS GONE FROM BB AND DRUGS. THE NEW HALF WHIT CAN'T PERFORM LIVE ANYMORE. PEOPLE FORGET HER SO-CALLED PERFORMANCES OVERSEAS LAST YEAR. SHE WAS TERRIBLE!!!!!! THE NEW SINGLE ILTY IS A SNOOOZE FEST.



    34. 34

      im all about my girl whitney



    35. 35

      I love me some Robbie :)



    36. 36

      Robbie W can fill out Knebworth Castle and has done twice with 350,000.What the fuck do yo know about the Brits whom you seem to think start with Amy and end with obscure semi famous crap Kylie.?

      MJ is very replaceable ..god it is like 20 years since he did anything new anyway.Get over the misfit..he died from too many drugs in end.



    37. 37

      If you give a complete report card, you know very well MJ would out shine Whitney Houston…How could you compare somebody who is in the Guiness Book of World Records for most charities supported by a Pop Star to somebody who cruises through life giving her fans minimal performances?!! MJ has a showmanship that ANYBODY has yet to match, so trying to upgrade Whitney Houston to his brilliance by saying her vocal talent makes up for her lacking in showmanship is completely ignorant. I'm sure many would agree what separates a great ENTERTAINER from being JUST ANOTHER SINGER is the capability to provide a high level of entertainment through phenomenal showmanship. BTW, when has Whitney Houston ever been known to be to referred to as "The Greatest Entertainer of All Time," or "The King of Pop"?



    38. 38

      Love both Robbie and Whitney. To the idiot that said Robbie could sell out 50 dates in the same city at the same arena is just plain retarded. Robbie is a huge concert draw but I believe only Michael Jackson and Barbara Streisand (due to the rarity of her touring) would be able to sell out shows like that.

      As far as Whitney being a bad entertainer; you're very wrong. Whitney's performances aren't heavily based upon dancing. And that's great. Michael loved to dance. Just because Whitney doesn't shimmy and shake on stage like Tina Turner or Beyonce doesn't mean that I'm any less entertained when I go see a Whitney show.

      To correct Perez (since you're new to the VIP celebrity scene) Whitney has been known for her live performances. In the history of her tours she's only had to cancel six concerts. Better to get correct information out there.



    39. 39

      No one can compare Whitney and Micheal. Of course whitney is the best singer of all time. Personally I dont want her to replace him, cause she is much better than this.



    40. 40

      Re: BlackGaySocialite – it´s been 3 years since Robbie´s last news…he has the record for selling more tickets to tour concerts, I´m not saying that he is going to sell as much and as fast as MJ, I´m just saying he could, by the facts…
      anyway, that he´s going to sell out, i´m sure…

      Re: Josias102
