3. I hope she can get her S*** together and come back with the voice and talent
that she used to display. At this point, I wouldn't walk across the street to see her.

4. It's her second croak like a frog concert in recent times. She had one on the
Today Show, I believe that was NOT good.

She needs to chill a bit. I guess she might have financial problems that have her rushing it.

5. Oh my
"She couldn't entertain a dead rat," one concertgoer told the press outside the show.

7. It's not the first time this has happened. She wasn't able to sing on the
Today Show either.

I know she's under a lot of pressure, but she needs to give it more time to get back on track.

8. A rough night in Sydney...
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/sydney-fans-bail-on-woeful-whitney-houston/story-e6frf96f-1225834200685

After the savaging she copped after her opening Australian show in Brisbane on Monday night, the Sydney crowd were undoubtedly on her side and for the first 50 minutes, both performer and the 12,000 strong crowd seemed to be having a great time.

But when Houston returned to the stage after a 13-minute costume change it all went downhill. Her acoustic set of old favourites unfortunately could not hide the very obvious problems with her voice, the strain and those coughs that punctuated the Brisbane show were back. By the time she got to the gospel section of the show a steady stream of disappointed, saddened and angry fans started streaming out the doors.

...
But to be fair, the vast majority of the crowd stayed, willing Whitney on.

They were rewarded as Houston rallied with the final three songs delivering an energetic and upbeat finale with I Wanna Dance With Somebody, How Will I Know and her signature hit I Will Always Love You.
