  • OMG.. THE BACKGROUND SINGERS ARE FINE......

  • I do sing sometimes and I can bet Whitney was not feeling comfortable there, that stage OMG, it's just huge and that sucks ... !

    Second Point ... WHITNEY'S VOICE WAS OKAY, SHE JUST WAS SICK ... THAT'S SO OBVIOUS ... I DO SING ... WHEN IM SICK I SOUND LIKE THIS ... VOICE IS STRONG, IT'S JUST THE DIRTY THROAT THAT MAKES YOUR VOICE SOUND KINDA WEAK AND RASPY.

    WHITNEY MEANS POWER.

  • THE BACK UP SINGERS ARE HORRIBLE!!

  • This is really really bad i am hurting for her

  • I think if Whitney titled her next LP "past my prime" it will sell because it would seem "so bad, it's good!" Sort of a "Seasons in the Sun" or "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" situation for Whitney fans.

  • There was just SOOOO much going on here lololol Whitney, I LOVE you... U kept goin & finished the gig when most ppl woulda just walked off the stage (& motha STILL gave me one ole RUN at 4:44-4:47 lolol take note: she will NEVER miss that run :-)

  • jesus god.

  • Whitney is so sexy here!!!!!!!!!

  • Hate the back round singers they ugly and just lookin at her

  • wow whitney has truly fell off poor whitney her voice will never be the same. but the old whitney will never be forgotten. rip to the old whitney houston voice

  • Comment removed

  • im sorry i love whitney but this was terrible

  • Hot ass mess!! Whitney I love you, but please sit down, there is no excuse for this mess!

  • 4:45... She NAILED that run lol. What was this event exactly?? A birthday celebration??

  • Officially it was Birthday of Newly Build Capital city of Kazakhstan named Astana, but in fact WH was bought and brought to please corrupted Kazakh President Nazarabayev whose Birthday was also in same dates.

  • she is much better now thank god

  • is really bad...i love she..but this day show...shw is broke...i lord..is sad...very sad...your voice gone... AND...i stage to much bigggg

  • I think she sounds fine, she is using her own song the way that she feels like it. I love how people want to tell the singer how to sing there song.

  • Never heard Whitney with such a coarse voice... and the false notes she is making in this video... hope she will be Ok soon :)

  • awful, people! Even me, who is absolutely ignorant in such affair as vocal understand that the best times have passed unfortunately for this voice...that used to be amazing

  • I agree she was DIVA... she had not easy life but in this case I also remeber

    Ella Fitzgerald, Maria Callas, Ima Summak , Barbra Joan Streisand and others... No comments

    I just really sad about her voice. Hope she will be better soon... Really hope so!

  • Maria Callas LOST HER VOICE too.

  • SHE LOOKS AMAZING ... DIVA

    Her voice sounds over, but now, she's sounding really good !!

  • got tickets by the stage for just about 100 pounds at o2 lond.i just hope she ll sound bit better than this vid ;)

  • omg i just bought ticket for her concert in london.:(((((

  • How much does it cost? I also want to go there

  • 3:45 - 3:55 owns!!! hahaha

  • You need the PERFECT CHEMISTRY to have the best live show. Here, neither were on that night; most people would pay around $50-75 just to SEE Whitney's body, but the other $50-$75 needs to have that great charisma (voice, emotions, good background) to make fans on the tour happy. The first 10 shows or so will be CRITICAL to see how to tour will end up; rave reviews will mean sellout after sellout; "What happened to the voice?" will mean lots of half-filled arenas and some cancelled dated.

  • awful awful awful, sad to see

    glad to see that at least in 2009 she has improved from this. Really like her bnew album! In this show she is clearly out of it..looks at some points that she doesnt even know where she is. What i cant believe is that she was still performing in this condition.. and who would actually pay her to be at events. people talk about britneys performance of gimme more being bad in VMAs but this is like twenty times worse..

  • The background  played a major part in the beginning of Whitney's downfall LOL!!!! FAIL CENTRAL!

  • that's what I mean too. but no comments...

  • please... pay her fee and let her go back home... she needs to recover...

  • lol in her defense this is from 2008 she has gotten a little better.

  • I know and I was very happy to point it out on occasion of her participation in The X Factor in my country! :P

  • My favorite part 4:43- 5:08 LMAO epic fail.

  • LMAO!!!

  • I know I heard greatness on here its Melonie Daniels in the background!

  • By the way, that was the most half-assed version of "Happy Birthday" I have ever heard!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

  • If you want a good laugh, this is the ultimate video!

    That "I'm Every Woman" performance was a disaster!!!

  • How is this funny? it's extremely sad. Heartbreaking

  • Whitney Houston will be premiering not one, but TWO new videos in the upcoming weeks. The video for "I Look To You" is set to debut on September 10th. While the clip for "Million Dollar Bill" will be premiere on September 16th. In other Whitney news, Whitney will be performing "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" on The Oprah Winfrey Show at the personal request of Oprah herself.

  • she hit a few bad notes here and there, but u cant really expect her to sound the same after all she's been thru, including the surgery procedure she went thru having nodules removed from her vocal cords....but anyway, she put fourth the effort and it was an overall good performance..... :)

  • a mess to the highest level ...

  • aww this is sad she doesnt sound her best :( i think the sound was really off to be fair to her... the sound or something.. but she is still and always will be a legend!!!

  • The greater stage and is not present monitors

  • If you guys have problem with Whitney you can kiss her a..... That girl can blow, she was obviously hoarse so what! Singers all have hoarse days why is in different for Whitney.

  • omg she sounds in pain. im glad she was able to get it together to record her album which so far sounds great

  • You just blow. Mariah rules 4-ever!!

  • Mariah could kiss Nippy's

  • Fuck you. Mariah and Whitney are friends. THey are both AMAZING WHEN THEY COULD SING. now NONE OF THEM can sing the way they used to. Fuck you all the way to hell bitch

  • I think this is a fab song, shame about the sound but i think she did well. In all her live shows (well the ones iv seen) she has always made her songs sound different, i mean if she didnt wouldnt it get boring?

  • I've seen Aretha, Dionne, and Chaka in person or live since this performance. They all still sound good and really gives me faith for my Nippy to gain it back. Chaka did an incredible IEW recently in the original key and with great strength, and all of the women were standing and clapping. It was great fun!! Whitney's 2008 videos makes me CRY... while the oldies continue to shine, my Whitney feels like she is lost after her troubles. I pray for her after what happened to Michael Jackson.

  • why are you looking at your shoes whitney???? keep sanging!

  • maybe they broke lol or she thought they were bout to break she didnt wanna fall

  • She sounds like boiling shit with a high flame underneath it !!! Whitney Houston used to have one of the best voices in music, and she let Bobby Brown destroy her. He needs his ass whooped for what he did to her, and she needs her ass whooped for this performance.

  • it hurts to see her like this. I always sing whitney songs in shows. But during performance like this by whitney, i sometimes think that i can maybe outsing here in these. actually, I'm a Mariah fan but i always pay respect to whom it's due. Whitney, one of the most phenomenally distinct voices in music,.. i hope you come back big time!

  • they're both the best

  • VEry Sad, but if she gives up the cigs, and the booze, and practices, she can get her voice back.. but she must stop smoking and drinking.

  • She is the one who has corage enough to go in a stage and sing in a condition like this, if it were other singer we would heard a CD, but whitney is the best.

  • I used to be a huge Whitney fan. But this is the worst of a string of bad performances. The crowd was clearly not impressed. And if you listen closely starting at 3:50 you can hear a studio track of her hitting the classic high note. I'm embarrassed for her. Sorry Nip. I don't think I could buy a concert ticket.

  • i think u r so rude with her, if she does not sing like before its cuz now shes sick i think she should retire, but im sure i would be able to buy a concert ticket, WH is a legend the best singer.

  • That's really abandonment as a whitney fan geegeethree you know what she's been through she's been through hell. You know how well she could sing at her best, so you being that cruel, is abandonment and I hope you dont do that to your loved ones. The backing track is to help her out if she has trouble. SO WHAT?

  • This is sad!

  • So so funny. Nothing goes right.

    And what is with the stage!? There is less crowd than floor space!

  • It's fucking in Kazakstan! What do you expect!

  • You have to be an Idiot to blame any parts of this on the background singers....When you start a song in the middle instead of the beginning and have absolutely no voice.....what can they do....??? They actually saved the Damn show...And they are the best in the Industry right now and come highly recommended. I am one of Whitney's biggest Fans.....But this....!!!!! SMH

  • WOO HOO, been there, done that for idiot praise and worship leaders!! Neevr again!

  • oh my what a disgrace.......

  • the band was awful, the back up singer was terrible, and the sound was fatal, she coul'nt heard the band, her voice was not bad for me, the show was'nt good and don't help her. Whitney is amazing

  • She sounds strong! Actually, she does

    The backup singers did this performance bad, and the band

  • sounds they are singing behind the beat or something love you nippy but ohhhhh this was a hot mess you look good though girl.

  • well, You can say exactly what you want about Whitney. Even when she was sad, she didn't lip sync. She sung live. Celine has 80 % of her performances in the last year just lip synced. But she has also proved that she still can sing her songs like she used to. I think why, is because of all her lip syncs. Her voice has rested alot, and she hasn't got any vocal nodules like Whitney.

  • The funny part is her upper register is there just not mid and lower. Her mid and lower is raspy in this!

  • She should have lip synced!

  • Well, she didn't!

    And I'm glad she didn't

  • The only good part of this mess was when she sang happy birthday to the guy seated for the occasion.

  • I've been a fan of whitney since she came into showbusiness, this has to be the most horrible performance of her career. I'm hoping she's watched this and was shocked as much as every single person who has watched it too, if you weren't shocked you must be monotoned and blind.

  • She has some scary back up singers. Where did she get them at Wal Mart?

  • LOL at the Wal Mart comment. This was definitely an off night for her. She sounds 100,000,000 times better than this in 2009.

  • a hot mess! what in da world! she looks good. but sounds a mess.

  • SONO PIù BRAVE LE CORISTE..!!!!

  • 8p'''

  • whitney rocks!!!!!! she's amazing...i love you whitney

  • I see she has Mariahs background singers...

  • was!!! just die whitney be done with it... sell more albums then lol

  • Why dont you go get fucked by a dog!

  • zhaman kara katyn Kazakhstanga kelip kutyraiyn degen eken! Fuuu...

  • my god :(

  • i love whitney but damn her outfit and vocals are a MESS!! wata pitty aunty whitney.. :-(

  • This junkie lost her voice. Shame on here.

  • *her

  • hahaha but when she used to SING beautiful, NOBODY COULD BE BETTER, FOR THAT SHE'S WELL KNOWN BY ''THE VOICE'', AND CELINE?

  • Look, I'm a huge Celine fan so for me she always been better than SHITney Houston.

  • What a shit concert, who ever done the sound system has definitly got to have lost his job... After he made her sound like shit. She's got the best voice in the world and it absolutly was made shit by dumb fucks who cant do there jobz properly..

    Whitney 4 life....

  • @DazzAwhi sound was of Whitney Houston, he came with her

  • @DazzAwhi Yeh i agree, it wouldn't have sounded that bad if she had some decent backing singers and musicians, OK fair enough she was very hoarse here but I still think it would have sounded much better if it was organised properly. At least she didnt lip-sync, theres nothing worse than doing that !

  • @whitneyfan90210 no the backing singers were fine it was whitney that was off.

  • @MyRealtalktv She wasn't great I agree, but the backing singers were terrible and just look at the whole setup, the stage was huge, no dancers, and the band and backing singers were in some dodgy little area at the back, the whole thing was bad, but those backing singers were terrible

  • @whitneyfan90210 whitney has never really needed dancers shes not really that type of singer. the backing singers were the ones trying to rescue the songs but when your backing singing your affected by the lead singer in terms of moral and enthusiasm. that doggy little area at the back is a common place for backing songers thats why they are called backing singers they are not meant to be upfrontyour only realy supposed to hear them. stop making excuses for whitney's bad tired performance.

  • @MyRealtalktv Im not making excuses, I agree that Whitney was bad here, it was a very lazy performance, but those backing singers were bad aswell, this was just a terrible performance, in my opinion everything was wrong.

  • @DazzAwhi No it was her!

  • is it me..or is that band horrible?

  • Everybody who is watching this....Whitney was singing just recently at the Clive's pre-grammy party....shes sounds sooooo good.....check it out viewers!!!!

  • she sounded horrible there too.

  • common, don't be negative with THE BEST SINGER OF THE WORLD.

  • mmm where can i watch it ???

  • Sometimes she really sounds terrific, but i still truly looooooooooove her voice and her style.

    Go ahead Whitney!

    We love ya!

    São Paulo - Brazil

  • That was a complete shambles, they should've fucking turned the reverb off coz the echo don't sound that good. My Love is your love was much beta.

  • sana si lani misalucha nalang pinakanta nila

  • the background music is so bad lol...

  • LMAOROTF!!!! LOLOLOL!! That WHOOOO!! @ 4:55 After the music just turns off...Whitney was gettin into it. LOLOL!!!

    This was a joke!...and they made Whitney look less than stellar...which she is!!! They went right in to screw up another of her songs and she was like. "STOP,...JUST STOP!!" LOL!! She was pissed you could tell...but she pulled it off..the show must go on and she a professional!!

    I will admit that it's cold..her voice it taxed...and as a singer...I've BEEN THERE!!

  • All I can say is this. If her voice was NOT raspy, this would have ranked among her best performances from ANY stage of her career. I'm tellin ya, the voice in all its beauty, is still there. Peace.

  • You are so right! I believe that yes it was raspy, it wasnt that bad...

  • oh my god i cant believe it or should i say "my goodness" what a fuckin shambles- the band havnt got a clue, they cant b playin the set list cuz whtineys not suited to sing that song no more, stil she did cause they fucked it up - show must go on and so shes there rufin up her throat, coughin! b4 the band realise and jus stop, the male backin singers like omg

  • she looks fine, the band dont seem to know what songs to play she like wat the fucks goin on and starts singin tha song anyway, complete improvisation lol

  • keep on singing the queen is back

  • all i can say about this performance is that she looks good. everything else in cringe worthy

  • She has the same background singer as Mariah! Funny ! I prefer this video than the second one!

  • My girl Melonie Daniels back their on back up vocals. You talk about a sista that can sang.. whoooo lawd!

    I'm prayin' 4 ya Whitney.

  • yes lawd she could sing!!!!

  • i think it will be better if whitney does'best of tour' throughout summer,because the cold can affect her voice.

  • It may be the middle of winter right now, but simply look back at the meaning of Spring. It's alot like Whitney's career. Her first two albums were like Spring, the Bodyguard era was like Summer, and The My Love Is Your Love era was like Autumn. Whitney still wowed people in the MLIYL era, but there was growing personal conflict. Then came Just Whitney and winter with negative public rendition. It's been a long 9 years, and, like Mother Nature, Whitney and Spring will be here before you know it!

  • Sad, And I'm glad to hear she's clean now cause she looks spun out here. I agree with the sound too...just a disaster from the beginning. She had the guts to do it...i would have canceled or lips synced..used pitch correction live..anything to help the fact that she can't hold any weight in her voice. Maybe she was too high to know or care. Sounds like she has nodes. sad... Reduced her range to like an octave....maybe and a half. Still a huge fan. No one can sing the way she did. NO ONE!!

  • As a performer myself you could see that the sound was in poor condition it looks a disaster from the start. When Whitney started singing her second song you heard her ask for her monitors to be turned up. You can clearly hear her voice is there however it was a the band and backing vocals were all over the place!! Looking forward to the new Album!!

  • SHE IS NOW TOO CRAZY MAN

  • She looks freaking beautiful here!

  • what was that @ 1:13 man!:(

  • HAHAHAHA, this broad can't sing worth shit.

  • Ok Whitney fans i have some news... The other day i was chating with someone who is in the music industry... I asked him about when is Whitney Houston album is coming out... He said that the people are suppose to be aiming before summer... I asked him why what is taking so long he said that all her songs are not done yet... he said that her first single is done but there just waiting for an official date before they release it. he also said that Whitney Houston is drug free. Thank God.

  • I got too much love for Whitney to go in like I want to. I'd rather reflect on all the great performances shes given in her career. Lets just say the crickets @4:57 sums up this whole performance. This was a nightmare set to music!

  • all these drugs that she did really affected her voice. this concert was awful. if i was a citizen of Kazakhstan id want my money back.. if she was in the US and slacked the way she did here.. ppl would be outraged. thats why alot of US singers lip when they do overseas concerts. this was AWFUL. whitney fan or not. sorry..

  • What went wrong! I mean, is it the band, audio quality, I feel like this is a bad dream! Seriously, Is it the audio, or the band,just tell me this is not Whitney sounding like this. I love her regardless. We all have problems. I will hold her in prayer. I'm sure performing at this level was hard for her too.

  • it both sounds and looks horrible. i cant believe my eyes!!.......

  • I think they bad was playing along with a pre recorded track...as u can see they don't even really have a full band....very strange concert

  • I had to turn it off because my dog was starting to howl! Geez she needs to take a powder break - no doubt she already snorted heaps before she got on stage! She only embarrassed herself by staying on stage......what a joke

  • Thank God for the back-up singer on melody.

  • i still love this girl, no matter what! i think she doesn't sound so bad. she can somehow hit the high notes. and the most important thing is that she tried to sing despite of some changes in her voice. that's why she is called "THE VOICE.":)

  • you make "some changes" sound like menopause or something. She was given a gift and fried it and snorted it to death. If she were really trying to rehabilitate herself, she would do the work it takes to get her voice back AFTER being a drug addict. From what I see in this video, it doesn't look like she's given drugs up.

  • whatever:)

    it's just my opinion:)

  • Is she pissed out of her face? Or what?

  • We love Whitney but it is sad to hear her sounding like this. She may be sick, but she's done so much damage to her gift by smoking cigarettes and doing drugs.  We just pray for her to be well and sing like the angel we remember :)

  • She was sick here, and her throat hurted. YOu can listen that she was getting more and more hoarse. She was sick

  • I love whitney...but i always laugh when she says.."I don't cast a spell" & she says that while shaking her head lol I love u Whitney...I can't wait to you make your comeback

  • she is there on the foking drugs!!!!!!!

  • Whitney refuses to perform to tracks for this very reason. The band is taught to follow her lead whether its right or wrong. A track will embarrass you in public like this. Secondly, this city is 10 hours ahead of US and her voice wasn't having it. And thirdly, this was strickly a gig. She was working for a paycheck sick as hell. I wish she would be better to herself. She should have canceled this show and had a cortisone shot and slept through the night.

  • i think she was drunk there!

  • Whitney was blessed with the great voice, but the footage is very hard to listen to. Please take care of your voice.

  • I hope Chaka doesn't see this.

  • I wasn't even there and I want a damn refund! LOL... Just kidding, Whitney I hope you get it together.

  • LMFAO!!! that was funny but i totally agree.

  • sounding a hot ass mess.

  • yikes :-/

  • YES Melonie Daniels sounds GREAT! ...Oh Whitney. She's one of a kind. WE MISS U WHITNEY!

  • I still love her!

  • melonie daniels on BG

  • do she have cold? i hear strain in her voice!

  • A Hot mess...

  • we still love u Whitney! Hope she comes through, she has a god given gift, and she will return.

  • Where do broken hearts of Whitney fans go?

  • hhmmm, dam good question!

  • she was obviously sick...watch her at 4:54 when she coughs

  • ja she coughs cuz this note was too much for her and not cuz shes sick.......I mean all of her performances sound similar to this one nowadays and she can not always be sick

  • I think Whitney Houston is just excercising her vocal cords in her performances. I think she could of use more power in her performance, but she didnt want to show how hard her voice has come. I think that she is saving her voice so everyone can hear the new and improve Whitney. I also went on wikipedia this morning and saw album singles for her upcoming album undefeated i hope this is true cause you know how wikipedia is.

  • i had 2 come back. i pray for whitney. even the backup singesr where looking in shock at the way she was performing.

  • wheni saw this posting i was so excited, because i have and will alwyas be a fan of whitney. but why is she doing this. so sad and i just pary for her. obviously she does'nt care about record sales and that's ok, but atleast be prepared to sing. i'm in shock..realllly!

  • My heart got broken to whatch it! It's funny because when she sang "I wanna dance with somebody"...her voice wasn't sounding so bad!

  • MMM SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY SICK

  • Sick don't make you off beat!

  • Those backing vocals didn't help too!

  • It hurts me like hell! Jesus...that was the worst perfomance I've ever seen of her. Whitney, I love you...stop smoking...I smoke and I know it ain't good even for me that don't sing...Whitney, please....

    She's so amazing

    Let's keep on having faith on her and praying for her!

  • I think she was sick but i saw the old Whitney in some of her moments does anyway know when her cd is coming out

  • She also fidgets with her hair and looks at her shoes lol she lost her stage presence. =(

  • This is heartbreaking. At the end she coughs and chokes and stops the band and no one claps for her. She was like "oh my goodness" that was horrifying.

  • rly, its verry heartbreaking :( i love her so much... :(:(:(

  • omg i never thought it would be this bad with her.......
