WHITNEY IS ACTING ALL CRAZY AGAIN

Whitney Houston is jumping back on the crazy train and riding it through Australia. Apparently Whitney gave a questionable (aka cracked out) performance Monday night in Brisbain in which she appeared to be out of breath, disoriented and even let her brother sing some of the songs. She didn't know the names of her backup singers (although that's kinda diva, so I'll give her that one) and she took a break about every three words. The Aussies, much like they did when Britney came over with her mime show not long ago, are not having it AT ALL! They want their money back. There have been a handful of positive reviews, and the Australian promoter, Andrew McManus, is defending Houston. He says that the "vocal minority" that are dissing the diva are wrong. He states, "What happened to the Australian positive support of someone who has seen difficult times, and is now up on stage, warts and all, presenting herself like an open book for the world to see - and they want to ridicule Whitney?" Um, YES! When you pay money to see a singer live you don't want to show up and see a homeless person sweating all over the stage and randomly screaming words at you. I can see that at the 125th Street subway station every morning. I don't need to pay over $100 to see it. McManus continued, "I am personally amazed at the few who are trying to derail the project and say if they expected to hear Whitney of 20 years ago, go buy a CD, but if they wanted to see a true professional artist give 100% and have a red hot go at songs that make the greatest vocalists shrink, well come along and enjoy the ride of an amazing talent, on stage, letting her heart and soul out for us all to enjoy." Well Whitney has never really been known for her live performances, not since the 80s anyway, but this hardly seems like a "professional artist" giving "100%". I know Houston is not like she used to be, BUT THEN DON'T TOUR!! I wouldn't be surprised if the tour ended early. Watch what some of the concert goers had to say below. Pretty harsh!!!![source]
