I can't believe some people didn't have a clue as to Whitney's Houston very public and tragic problems. She had a really dysfunctional reality show back in 2005 or 2006. Every time that I went grocery shopping I saw Whitney on the front cover for the wrong reasons like turning her foreclosed mansion into a crack house, sex toys in her daughters presence and Bobby being Bobby. These aren't made up tabloid stories. This came from one of Whitney's relatives or in laws that used to be drug buddies with her. Some need to step out of Shaniaville, she's not the only celebrity out there. In fact people like us who are still paying attention to her are unusual given how long she's been away from the spotlight. Some say that something's wrong with us. I don't know about that though.

Other than that I'm not impressed by Whitney's comeback. The song sounds like all her other dramatic ballads. It's a sad thing that she had to waste her best years on drugs, bad men, bad company and self destruction.

If the shoe fits wear it! Shaniaville is wherever you want it to be dude. I think that some Shania fans live under a rock and only pay attention to all things her. If you didn't think that this applied to you and then you wouldn't be so upset and have responded to me. I didn't think that constructive criticism would be taken personal. I guess some are thin skinned like onions. You twisted my comments. I guess some know how to read words but not understand them. Who are you to be telling me to leave if I don't behave the way that you want. Last time I checked your name wasn't Tommy. You should start your own Shania site if you want it your way. Otherwise take a chill pill and don't act like a cranky old lady bleh

.

P.S. How did I disrespect you? The only disrespect that I'm getting is coming from you calling me names. You're lucky that this is a message board because I have a special way of handling guys that start insulting others without reason mano a mano.

Whitney Houston: 'Million Dollar Bill'

Released on Monday, October 5 2009

By Nick Levine, Music Editor

From the opening notes of this comeback single, it's clear The Voice has changed. It's deeper than you remember, huskier too, and when it soars, it's like an eagle that's getting on a bit and had a long day at the office. Funnily enough though, this lived-in quality - and we all know how lived-in thanks to that Oprah interview - is actually quite appealing.

It also suits the romantic optimism of the song. Co-written by Alicia Keys, 'Million Dollar Bill' is a midtempo disco tune with a message as feelgood as a Nora Ephron movie. "If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill," Houston sings on the chorus, "Say oh-oh-oh-oh". This isn't the most exciting thing she's ever recorded, but it is classy, dignified and pretty timeless-sounding. Isn't that just what you'd want from Whitney in 2009?

Whitney's got the X Factor: first UK gig in 12 years

Comeback queen Whitney Houston is due to make a guest appearance on this year's X Factor, she has confirmed.

The 46-year-old will spend time mentoring the remaining hopefuls before taking to the stage to give her first live UK performance in over a decade.

"It should be a fun night. I am a fan of Simon Cowell's and look forward to meeting him," Whitney says.

Her eagerly anticipated appearance can be seen on October 18 - the day before the release of her comeback album, I Look To You.

Comeback Whitney hits a flat note Down Under

(AFP) – 21 hours ago

SYDNEY — Disappointed fans stormed out of Whitney Houston's first Australian concert in 12 years, reports said Tuesday, as the ageing diva failed to hit her famous high notes and struggled for breath.

"She couldn't entertain a dead rat, to be honest," one fan told local media outside Monday night's Brisbane concert.

Houston, 46, only managed two songs before taking an extended break and relied heavily on her backup singers, reviewers said, with some remarking she seemed disoriented and unable to remember the names of her band members.

The star was seen coughing frequently, and paused as she was about to hit the epic high note of her signature tune "I Will Always Love You" to towel herself down and take a sip of water.

But promoter Andrew McManus hit back at suggestions she was suffering poor health.

"It was not a train wreck," McManus said. "She was hitting most of the notes, yes her throat was a little croaky.

"Her health is fine but she's also not 22 years of age anymore."

McManus agreed Houston was out of breath in a "couple of songs" and probably wasn't "up to scratch of the Whitney of 20 years ago".

"But I don't apologise for that, she had a red-hot go."

Houston, who has sold more than 170 million albums worldwide, suffered a major career setback after admitting drug use during an abusive relationship with ex-husband Bobby Brown.

The Australian concerts are part of her comeback "Nothing But Love" tour which kicked off at the end of last year.

Some fans said they would be demanding their money back.

"She was not fit to perform," wrote one on the Courier Mail newspaper's website. "She seemed to be on another planet and the concert was laughable." US pop icon Britney Spears attracted the ire of Australian fans in November, with concert-goers reportedly walking out of her show because she was lip-synching.

Too bad, she was a great talent.
