In Case You Missed It….

Filed under: Whitney Houston

Check out (above) Whitney Houston's performance of her new single, Million Dollar Bill, from Good Morning America earlier today!

Thoughts???

We think she actually sounds pretty good! However, not that many people know your NEW song yet, sweetie. You shouldn't exactly be expecting them to sing along so much!

      Tragic! The crack obviously scorched her vocal chords beyond repair.



    2. 2

      She is barely singing (like Diana Ross used to do the same thing by pointing the microphone towards the audience and announce "everyone sing"….because I can't) and yes, the voice is struggling.



    3. 3

      HORRID!! And she barely sang, it was mostly her "backup" singers and then she would throw the occasional "uhoh uhoh" oh that there. Also what did the host mean "THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BE WAITING FOR" yea right asshole!



    4. 4

      I only heard "every woman" and I thought she sounded exhausted. Not good at all. And didn't she just walk off stage before the song was over?!?!?
      Oh Whitney….



    5. 5

      vocals are gone gone gone!!!!!



    6. 6

      vocals are gone gone gone!

      Her album is pretty good but her voice has suffered…although it's still better than a lot of other artists out today…

      The bitch is back! The orginal Diva, and she still got it!! She's HOT too, look at those legs!! Damn - Mariah is probably in a corner somewhere crying and puking. LOL

      Her voice is still better than half those heffers out there!!



    10. 10

      disappointing



    11. 11

      Great song! Bad vocals! Alicia Keys should have kept the song for her next CD - it's a great song. The song sounds good on the radio, but live it's awful. Sad…



    12. 12

      Re: TZS – Why does everyone have to mention Whitney and then Mariah in the next breath? They are not the same at all. Mariah LOVES her fans and writes her own songs! I've met Mariah in person and she was so sweet.



    13. 13

      LOVE HER! True, her voice is deeper and rougher than it used to be, but she lived through the disaster that is BOBBY BROWN! Good for her! AND THE SONG IS AWESOME! MY MAN MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A MILLION DOLLAR BILL!!!!



    14. 14

      AGAIN THANKS TO DOUCHE BAG MARIO, HER CD WILL SELL WITH FLYING COLORS. JUST CHECKED ITUNES AND BOTH ILTY AND MDB SINGLES ARE HITTING NEW HIGH'S. NO PUN INTENDED. LOL.



    15. 15

      can't believe some of the comments here.
      yeah, she's not as strong as she was, but
      i'd rather have an average Whitney over a
      full on Beyonce. Show some respect, people.



    16. 16

      Re: nermend – MOO MOO SUCKS ON STAGE. SHE BARELY MOVES A DAMN INCH. IT'S LIKE SHE WANTS TO MEASURE THE FACT HER DRESS IS NOW 8 SIZES BIGGER. WUT'S UP WITH THAT? MOO MOO HAS NO STAGE PRESENCE AND LIP SYNCS.



    17. 17

      go away with that not intersted in whitney houston missed show saw commerical good morining america promoted it heavily good bye
      gone to art stuido just read about the jonas brothers nick and joe jonas kendra j bethune age 31



    18. 18

      Amazing The Love Britney & She Hasnt Given A ive Performance Since Disney Club. Gaga Sings In The Same Tone The Entire Time & Etc. Stop Comparing Her To Whitney 30 Years Ago. She's An Older Woman. Arethea Patti MC All Can No Longer Sing The Way They Use To.. Let It Go. I Was There & I Loved Her Energy. Perez The Urban Community Does Know This Song.. Just Because You Dont Doesnt Mean The World Doesnt



    19. 19

      Are you deaf, Perez? She sounds HORRIBLE. She's a shell of the singer she once was. Permanent damage for sure.



    20. 20

      Re: TZS – Mariah has ABSOLUTELY nothing to worry about……



    21. 21

      Re: bkrich68 – EXCEPT HER ALBUM TANKING. LMAO.



    22. 22

      The performance wasn't great but not bad either. The album on the other hand is AWSOME! Not a bad song on the CD. She still sounds better on CD than anybody else out there other than maybe Celine!



    23. 23

      Re: Achmat – I agree. Even Aretha Franklin's voice has lost some power over time. People just don't appreciate talent anymore. Artists like MJ, Whitney, etc had to possess some talent to make it. You had to earn your fame. Now it's all image and autotune. Even Madonna (although she's no where in the same league) sang live and continues to do so. I don't want to spend my cash to see someone lipsynch to their CD.



    24. 24

      i think she ROCKED LOOOOOOOOVE whitney!!!



    25. 25

      You thought she sounded "pretty good"???? Then you must have smoked as much crack as Whitney. The entire performance was TAPED yesterday afternoon as Diva girl couldn't sing live at 7 am. She was shot from long distances to cover the fact that she was lip synching. And when she did "vamp" out loud, she was out of breath and had no range whatsoever. Hell, the audience hit more high notes than Whitney did. Even sadder was dragging her daughter on stage to join in who did not inherit ANY level of singing ability from her druggie parents.



    26. 26

      Mariah can no longer sing either, did u hear her at the Michael Jackson tribute? She and Trey Lorenz used to tear that song up but she can no longer hit the high notes either! I applaud Whitney for coming back. Her voice will never be what it used to be but she does still have a voice. Aretha Franklin doesn't sound as good as she did in her youth either but she can still sing. As you get older your voice changes. Whitney will always be the ultimate!!!



    27. 27

      I found it completely underwhelming. And she was either really nervous about taking onstage or she is severly lacking in stage banter abilities.



    28. 28

      Re: bkrich68 – You are so right! The proof will be in the Billboard charts!



    29. 29

      whiney houston; charisma, attitude, showmanship; trifecta of fantastic. LOVE HER



    30. 30

      So is this the way it's going to be? Getting the audience and back-up singers to sing your songs for you while you talk your way through and sing one note at a time. But in this case the audience doesn't even know your new songs yet.

      I was disappointed. The background singers sang more than she did. And the comment on Diana Ross! I have seen Ms. Ross in concert many times (and this year) and the other so called Divas cannot hold a candle to her in concert. She is much, much better in concert then you see her on television. She is the Mother of All Divas! Diana may not have a powerful voice but she has emotion in her voice and does not have to scream at the top of her lungs to sing like so many of the other Divas do. And not to mention she is 65! Whitney had a lot of energy but it was kind of sad performance. You know they can fix anything in the studio — it is the live concert that shows the true entertainer. And again Ms. Diana Ross sounds just like her cd's in concert.



    32. 32

      U got to be kidding me she sounds horrible!!!!!



    33. 33

      her voice is GONE!!!!



    34. 34

      Whitney has attitude! How many sings live in these days?

    35. rogan says – reply to this


      35

      Diana Ross sings live in concert. She may not sing on a very rare occassion.



    36. 36

      and you called mariah's performance in AGT horrible. You must be deaf, or blind, or both Perez! At least Mariah was singing, instead of giving the mic towards the audience.



    37. 37

      i personaly did not like it. it bieng the song and her voice. its too bad that she turned out this way.



    38. 38

      …the audience is clearly rooting for their diva but to me she does not sound good. Maybe she suffers from allergies. Ragweed is virtually everywhere on the East Coast right now



    39. 39

      Her voice is awful. Yes, the crack permanently destroyed her voice.



    40. 40

      Her voice sound more mature this time, I love to see in a duet with Donna Summer !



    41. 41

      I would say the backup singers did a great job. As for Whitney, it was very average.



    42. 42

      This is the funniest thing i have seen in a long time!!!



    43. 43

      She didnt even sing it! It was her back up singers and the audience! What I heard was bad, she seriously damaged her voice. :O(



    44. 44

      oh dear her voice sounds like car wheels on gravel !



    45. 45

      see young people what drugs do to you



    46. 46

      i dont like her.terrible



    47. 47

      She was more than okay and she did what she could to entertain. That's SO EARLY in the morning and no one is in good voice that time of day.



    48. 48

      Was this Whitney's aerobic video? She spends more time on the callisthenics than on actually singing with her rough voice ….



    49. 49

      bad start for whitney…like mariah.



    50. 50

      Re: Achmat – Whoo hoo! Thank you! Someone needs to stick up for Whitney. It is true that Perez and other people wet themselves over these lip syncing entertainers. Whitney is a singer damn it! Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!



    51. 51

      Her Diva days are over. You can't abuse yourself the way she did and expect to make a full comeback. And now she's blaming everyone else for her lame performance? ….typical junkie behaviour…. it's 'everyone' elses fault.
      I think this is Karma… WH has always been a diva bitch, ordering everyone around and thinking she was better than everyone else… she's not… she's just another person who was born with a great voice… which she destroyed all on her own.



    52. 52

      She sounds just like her cousin, Dionne Warwick in this. Why I know that, I have no idea.



    53. 53

      its not that bad, sounds a lot better than the other people you like Perez.



    54. 54

      She looks like she is having FUN though and she is much more limber and animated than she used to be.
      Sounds like Dionne Warwick though now.
      Still…she's back and alive and free of BB!
      Welcome back Whitney!!



    55. 55

      Well that sucked!



    56. 56

      FAIL



    57. 57

      Regardless - she sounds 1000 x's better than Mariah's beens soundin live for a MINUTE!! GO WHITNEY!!!



    58. 58

      Whitney is still the one and only! THE VOICE! She gave a very good performance on the clive davids party. She isn't gone, she had an off day. And still . . . .Whitney's worst day is still better dan Lady Gaga (she is so baaaad!) Britney (ever heared of Milli Vannili?) Madonna (great artist, but can't hit a note) etc. You Go Whitney!



    59. 59

      She's a "Diva" she'll work it out in due time. Sooner than later i hope!!!



    60. 60

      I wish she's ended her performance by yelling "Oh hell 2 the no" or "Bobbaaaaaaaaaaay". That would have been amazing!



    61. 61

      ok when did she actually sing in this song it was like for 5 seconds the backup singers sounded alot better then she did



    62. 62

      This has nothing to do with Whitney's age. Tina Turner still has it in her sixties, at 71 Etta James voice is virtually unchanged,
      Eartha Kitt sang until weeks before her death at 81, with a voice as strong as ever!
      Sad, sad, sad… that Whitney's once magnificent voice has been irreparably smoked away,
      and can now only be mended by digital wizards in a recording studio.



    63. 63

      crack is wack whitney! just like your voice!



    64. 64

      Re: materialboy – u mean bobby brown lived thru the disaster that is whitney houston. her music was always bad. all she had was a voice and now that is gone. she doesnt write. hopefully this will be the end of her so we dont have to see her arragant mug anymore. i love seeing her fail. cant stand the woman.



    65. 65

      Re: Carillonneur – it wasnt eraly in the morning. this was pretaped brcause she couldnt and wouldnt sing in the morning. this was taped in the afternoon. other singers regardless of age have sung in the morning. she sucks big time.



    66. 66

      Re: vancouvergrrl – u are soo very right. its karma. shes getting back what she put out.



    67. 67

      she looked good and sounded horrible



    68. 68

      fucking loved it. she still sings better than most of the girls out there. it isn't the clear voice of old but it is still formidable.



    69. 69

      Wow! What the hell? I hope her voice can make a comeback,too!



    70. 70

      Did anyone see Bobby's reality show when she would sing around the house - sad, like her voice was really gone. She sounds okay, a little pitchey! She has good back up singers.



    71. 71

      sounds pretty good, this just furthers ur obvious bias perez. her back-up singers r doing all the freakin' work!! they're there to back her up not to sing FOR her! and the little she did sing was BAD!!! i don't understand people. and blaming oprah is just sad!



    72. 72

      Oh come on people, why be so critical, it was free and she wasn't that bad. And talking before preforming does strain your voice.



    73. 73

      she needs to lower her range like Steve Perry did.



    74. 74

      C'on it's not so bad….. of course if you wanna compare this to I will always love you you'll never be happy but it's a diffrent type of song and music she's singing here…



    75. 75

      Give her credit for actually singing .. way too many performers lip synch



    76. 76

      She sounds like she is winded, totally out of breath. Her backup singers did all the singing. Now, I'm not dissing Whitney because I like her, but that's what I see.



    77. 77

      OMG…. if she were on Idol she'd have gotten voted off! Terrible~~ Off key, out of breath, yuck.

      She actually sounds like her cousin Dionne… so maybe her range has dropped with age. But really, carry a tune???



    78. 78

      Cocaine is a helluva drug.



    79. 79

      Boring, her time has passed. She made some very poor life decisions and they and her fans haven't forgotten. Sad actually.



    80. 80

      Well… the background singers sung well…



    81. 81

      perez u r such a hypocrite!
      when whitney sounds like that… to u she sounds gd and when other singers u hate sing pretty good (eg mariah) u say they sound horrible!
      talk abt double standards…
      guess anything madonna, gaga, whitney does is divine eh?
      that said i still love whitney's voice although its not wat it used to be
      and i will still buy her album



    82. 82

      everyone should remember she really hasnt performed in a long time. i know, excuses excuses, but give the diva the break she deserves. i mean seriously… like any of us could really do any better. i think she sounds great when all that she has done is taken into consideration.



    83. 83

      I like her smokey voice…but she needs to work on her stamina, a bit too short of breath. baby steps whit. good luck!



    84. 84

      wow - she has no voice at all,



    85. 85

      Lets talk some facts…they paid Whit what…120 million back in the day B4 the "crash"…she is to deliver 7 albums…and we're only on number 3

      and she wont tour–SHE CAN:T

      they need to hire somebody like me!! to backup a doubling lead to cover her ass,,,mentored for years by her original music director

      www.myspace.com/soulsingers

      www.myspace.com/exoterotica

      and get her ass out to ENTERTAIN People



    86. 86

      so LAME…. nice she ´s back but her time is over



    87. 87

      Perez,the oh so condisending "sweetie" is so so high school. .



    88. 88

      jez! she didn't move much and she is so out of breath, ciggies & crac not good.



    89. 89

      What makes me especially sad is how this site encourages people to take other people apart. It is not a skill to insult, to judge, to deconstruct other people. It is a strength to have empathy.
      I have fun reading your site sometimes Perez, but other times, 'hermano', you and your style of focus on people make me sad…
      Think bigger.



    90. 90

      ……well that sucked…how sad



    91. 91

      i think is obvious her voice is been affected by the drugs, but the voice is still there, she needs time to heal her vocal cords!!



    92. 92

      That was… pretty awful.
      Vocals were a mess and breathing was all over the place…
      Shames.
