Whitney Houston did “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” on the season finale of “Dancing With The Stars” (which Mya didn’t win, of course) and boy was it ROUGH. She also did “Million Dollar Bill” and while that was a tad bit better, it’s like saying “Oh I got shot but it didn’t hit any major arteries”.
Whitney left us breathless, as we watched her try to catch hers. The remix of “Million Dollar Bill” is pretty awful in my opinion — it takes all the faux-soul that the track had in it and replaces it for pulsing dance beats and synths, which makes her voice sound even worse. At least w/ the original we could say she sounds “soulful” or “bluesy”!
There were so many missed rifts, belts and hoarse whispers and outright giving up between these two performances that it broke my heart. The only thing classic about Whitney now is her copious sweating — other than that, who dis woman Harpo?!
Whitney’s sounding worse than Mariah, Mariah been gargling rocks. Ashanti is judging music competitions and Rihanna’s album is selling for 99 cents — is the end near?

Whitney’s just giving all what she has left. She sounds decent. Think about this though: Would you rather have Rihanna’s Goat Yodeling or Whitney’s Crack voice? That MDB remix can go to hell though!

“Cocaine is a powerful drug” . . . Rick James.
I absolutely abhor the way this woman changes the cadence and rhythm of the original lyrics of her songs when she sings them live. She reduces them to “short bursts” of talking, just so she can get through the whole song without a preponderance of bum notes. They should have just played the original song (I Wanna Dance . . . ) for the dancers to dance to, and asked Whitney to sit in the audience . . .
That shot from 1:52 through 1:55 during the first performance needs to be removed from all future broadcasts because, once again, girlfriend looks to be “with child.” Is Ray J the baby daddy?
And that MDB performance . . . EVERY note that sounded right was pre-recorded.
It’s a shame, but now, I watch her performances specifically to see her screw up. I’ll stop making fun of this woman when she stops insulting my intelligence with these “performances.”

@Twizzle, I gotta agree with you LOL. I mean, I watch only to know that it’s going to be a mess, sadly. Sorry Sweet Minty Jesus.

I’m 2.5 seconds from being over Whitney’s comeback. If Clive Davis was any kind of friend he would put her on a damn treadmill so she can build up her endurance and wind.
@ twizzle, ol girl does look prego. She either needs to get to them sit-ups or tighten up her Spanx game.

I’m starting to think Whitney has developed bad asthma or something? She sounds really winded even though she’s not even doing her patented snap&two step! Still I like this performance more than the Today Show one. AND I’ll take it over a Rihanna performance any day!

Biggest fail for me with this performance was the backup singers singing THE ENTIRE CHORUS. She’d *maybe* throw a note in here or there, but that was about it.
