Whitney to perform on the Olympics

[SimplyCeline]

It really is awful. There was a bit where the camera turned to the royalty or whoever was rich enough to sit at the front and OMG they did not look pleased...

 

It such a shame though when you think of what a legend she was and what that voice used to do. And now she can even stay in tune or in key. And she cant pitch either. And she looked lost on that mega mega stage!

[Black Kitten]

she should sing "I Got Nothin' Left" her whole life

[celinesounds]

her golden day was in 80's and 90's now she is she just history

[whineupemily]

Oh crap .. i thought she was dead ..

i feel ashamed ..

[Prince Whiskers]

she should sing "I Got Nothin' Left" her whole life

 

Can't wait to hear her own version of the super screams!

Hi everyone, I don't post often on Whitney-Fan forum but I do read the forums every other day but I had to post this piece of news as it's unmissable. A friend of this whitney fan who informed him few days ago/Weeks that Whitney is indeed having vocal surgery with Dr Steven Zeitel who is the Director of Voice Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School & of the Voice Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Apparently he's the best and has worked on some high profile patients before. I don't know if it's BEEN done or is TO BE done but Whitney has actually been in for consultations as recently as last week. My friend "assumes" that the surgery "has" been recently done because of the type of tests they're running on Whitney; they're more post-surgery in nature. The good news is nearly 80% of voice capacity can be restored after this type of surgery. The bad news is that rehabilitation takes 6 or 7mths. If she's only recently had surgery then her recovery time would take her waaaay past a November 2008 album release. Oh and one last thing. Dr Zeitel doesn't take on patients for surgery if they're still smoking. I'm happy to hear Whitney's taking proactive steps but concerned about the recovery time. The album is pushed back to 2009.

 

If This is true i hope she will recover and take care of herself and come back strong and powerful..because nobody had a voice like Whitney when she came out in 1977 as a background singer for Lou Rawls and a smash debut at age 22 in 1985.

[Prince Whiskers]

She needs a miracle to regain her voice and it will never come.

Interesting. LOL

 

Let's see what happens...

Could u imagine having the amazing Whitney from the '90's BACK?!

 

It's risky, all that surgery, but let's pray she gets 110%!

[Nikosn17]

This is very dangerous. She takes a big risk with this thing. I know a lot about this kind of operations. It's not a fun thing to deal with.

God forbid - if anything goes wrong, could she become mute?

If anything goes wrong, the same thing that happened to Bonnie Tyler will probably happen to her :

Gotta love Bonnie Tyler! Was this a concious move, to make it more harsh, or was this a mistake?

So, what are your adjectives for Whitney's current voice?

[Thomas]

I hope it goes well for her, I notice on Wikipedia it said she developed them during the Bodyguard tour of 1993-1994 due to the fact she was unable to rest her voice. Thank God Celine hasn't been affected that we know of although it was also interesting to read Mariah has been affected since childhood. Julie Andrews voice was completely ruined when she had surgery so it seems it is extremely risky, that was a real shame too because she had a very pretty singing voice.

Well, you know, Bonnie still sang correctly, if not powerfully... And I can't say the same for Whitney, who has just oversmoked by a BOX or two, after drinking two bottles of 80% Vodka and catching а cold in a blizard simultaneously...

I didn't know Whitney was an Everclear fan!

 

(I'm talking about the drink. )

[Der_Griffon]

I didn't know it either, i'm just trying the powers of deductive logic after having heard her howling without loosing my hearing.

She doesn't howl... she barks!

[Der_Griffon]

Actually, you're right, but I didn't want to offend the nice doggies by comparing them to Whitney's contemporary, hm, let's call it 'voice'...

[mirage]

OMG....

 

and they thought celine was lost on that big vegas stage!? whahah they didnt watched this...

u can see her coughing... and then suddenly the music stops lol, and nobody applauded... a falling star....

[rakesh]

well... she can always quit R&B and go for rock music evenif something goes wrong and would make her voice more harsh. i rarely hear a rock singer with bell-like voice.

[celinesounds]

Lets wait and see what's gonna happen

[Black Kitten]

Mariah BADLY needs it, too. Edited October 2, 2008 at 09:15 AM by dhena
