I caught these on another board and the performances are horrendous.  It's so bizarre how she could sound like this live and sound halfway decent in the studio, though the conditions in a studio are much better.  She needs to stop this "talk singing."  It sound awful and she shouldn't even bother with high notes if she can't hit them!  It sounds awful to croak out her old songs.

It's not only the high notes... What is the wrost in these performances for me is that she is out of rhythm most of the time... btw some of Mariah's old background singers are there.

i didn't notice it. im not as die hard fan of mariah as u are, but who are u talking about? melonie daniels? sherree price? shanrae price? (obviously not trey lol), clarence? the may west of brooklyn? (am i right lol), mary ann tatum?

I don't know their names but some of them aren't working with Mariah anymore. I only know Mary Ann and Trey.

eww.. all I can say is that she sounds like crap. Crackney should stop doing crack with her daughter and focus on singing lessons.

Ahh that is so sad look what drugs can do to your voice and Whitney use to be so talented and hit those high notes. Also she was extremely big in the 90s I think she should have never married Bobby Brown at all. But that is just my opinion.

OMG!

Poor Whitney!



Watching these videos remind me of those MadTV spoofs!


P.S. Clive Davis, when are you going to give up on your Whitney?

I wanna know much Kazakhstan paid for this.   Actually she sounds ok when she whispers.

[amyja89]

I find it quite depressing to watch that to be honest, when you think of how flippin' awesome she used to be.

100% proof that CRACK IS WHACK!

I think I'll stick to watching this ...

She got 1.6 million for singing these 6 songs.

[Edwin]

Where are the high quality videos I was promised!

[smw]

Overall - it's a mess and it's depressing.  At her prime, she was as good as Celine - and she was better than Celine with some notes/range.  But today - she is declined greatly.  

However - there are certainly parts of these songs that still sound very nice.  Her voice isn't "gone".  But compared to what it once was - it really doesn't even compare.

What's more sad are the Whitney fans endlessly holding onto Whitney.

OMD That was so bad  

Look what drugs did to you Whitney....  

[zoea2812]

These videos should perhaps be shown to youngsters at schools and show them what drugs can do to you

Never thought I'd EVER say this, but.. I don't think there is enough singing lessons for Whitney anymore.  

[Angel, You thrill me]

[Prince Whiskers]

Yeah, you're right. Her voice is gone forever so singing lessons are totally useless.

and she should have retired already 'cause her comeback is going to be a total mess like those crappy mini-concerts she has been doing during the last months.

At 1:16 on the first video, she does her infamous penguin dance and sounding so bad!!!   

[smw]

For you all to make fun of her - and say that even voice lessons can't help her - makes you guys come across as ignorant.  

I believe 100% - that if she took the time to get her voice into as good of shape as it can be - then she could sing the hell out of some of her classic songs.  Certainly not as vocally perfect as she once could - but she could do it.  

Mariah, for example, is smart enough to not tackle some of her more difficult songs - such as "All I've Ever Wanted" - because there's no way she could sound the same.  So she changed her style.  And that seems to be the problem here - Whitney needs to change her style, stay away from the big songs of her past - unless it's a one song event or something.

[Esty]

OMG! This is so sad! It seems her beautiful and strong voice is gone for good. She was one of my favourites when I was a teenager...

Well, at the very least, these people are not deluded with high hopes for Ms. Houston.

Whitney has had more comebacks than #1 hits!

Mariah is not a good example.
She just sounds hoarse most of the time, and switches between head voice, falsetto, whistles, and whizzles - almost like the machines in a toy factory.

If you watch this video of Whitney, she can barely sing "Happy Birthday..." One of the world's easiest songs to sing.

The whole concert performance is embarrassing, and, I feel, is an insult to the nation of Kazakhstan.

Aww, but why? Is it pity-for-the-addict-week already, again?  
Next week: send your best whishes to Amy Winehouse

Na, I think her voice has been commented enough in here, nothing to add to that, and that "song" she recorded with Akon is a joke (yes, recording with Akon itself is already a joke, but the song, ugh *shudders*). See, she deserves to be made fun of.

Why did Whitney sing in Kazakhstan? She isn't wanted anywhere else?

oh lordy this is so sad. cant even look at it.

[Galuush]

Does Whitney going to be on Star Academy on friday septmber 19th??

[godessceline]

Oh my God....I feel so bad for her. She used to be so, so, so amazing and now, this is what's left of her vocally. It's so awkward and painful and embarrassing to watch...you can't even tell there used to be a voice there. It's like a bad IDOL audition. The line "I'm drifting on a lonely sea" has never been more suiting.   She's like a bad imitation of ehrself...she shouldn't try to hit those notes when she's so far from reaching them.
