Whitty did a concert in Tobago this weekend and apparently it was a disaster. Wow, is anyone REALLY surprised!? I love Whitney, but things will never be the same folks. It doesn’t take Juanita Bynum to prophesy on the Threshing Floor to see that! LOL @ them for paying $3 million dollars!! That’s their bad.

After a lengthy layoff, purported drug use and a tumultuous marriage and divorce from Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston is trying for a come back. Sadly, that might not be as easy to accomplish as she’d hoped for. Houston, 44, banned photographers and the media from getting within 200 yards of her on Sunday night at the Plymouth Jazz Festival stage. Nervous, no doubt about the quality of her voice, the ex-Mrs. Brown kept telling the Tobago audience how happy she was to be in Trinidad. Unfortunately, she had good reason to be nervous.

After such a long time away from the stage, Houston’s flat, horse and listeless voice was a big disappointment to those who knew the power she commanded at the height of her career. All that said Houston looked great, decked out in a form-fitting white gown. And given the fact that this is her first real concert date since her December 2006 appearance in Malaysia, you gotta give the sister credit for at least showing up on time for her 30 minute, seven-song set.

Houston started out her set with “It’s Not Right, It’s OK” a song that few folks in the audience appeared to know and followed it up with an old favorite “Step by Step.” As peppy as that tune is, Houston failed to get much of a rise out of the audience, many of whom had come extra early to make sure they got a good spot on the lawn. After her second song Houston paid tribute to Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and En Vogue who had performed on Friday and Saturday nights.

On “Saving All My Love For You,” another song that should have brought the capacity crowd to their feet, Houston’s voice cracked. “I don’t think the voice is still there,” said one patron on his way out. He probably felt the same way about her delivery on “I’ll Always Love You” since she missed all the notes that once made that ballad one of her signature tunes. The folks who had paid $120 (general admission) were already a little unhappy but after that song they stopped applauding.

Houston did sound a little like her old self when belting out her finale “I’m Every Woman.” Her voice was much clearer and it seemed as though she was really starting to get her groove. But it proved to be too little too late. (Source)

Well, color me unsurprised. As much as I want Whitney to make a comeback, her and Mariah Carey should just go sit down under Auntie Aretha’s mammaries and be comforted in the fact that they are legends. If you take care of your voice…it will take care of you.

It saddens me though — where are our generation’s legends?! We don’t have a Whitney or a Mariah or an Aretha…it makes me worry.

However, I would rather Whitney just go write books or SOMETHING else besides recording another album. The only thing about Whitney is she doesn’t write. She really gets no money so to speak from all of her biggest hits. So, if she doesn’t sing, she doesn’t eat! And the label system that Whitney came up in is DEAD. Plus, Clive Davis is gone?

This is the end. Mark my words! It’ll only get worse…
