Here’s a little treat for all you Whitney Houston fans… It’s a hefty clip of an unreleased 7th Heaven remix of her single “I Look To You“. This remix is pretty great, actually!! I wonder why it wasn’t released along with the other productions when the remix package was sent out last year?? This is definitly one of the better remixes that I’ve heard of the song! On a side note… I’m also disappointed that “Song For You” from her last album never got the remix treatment! What a complete waste of a potential dance HIT for Whitney.

Congrats to Britney Spears who has officially become the highest selling artist of the 2000′s after selling over 100 Million records to date! Accrding to the RIAA, Britney is now in the ranks with Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey. I’m not the biggest fan of Britney’s but I think it’s safe to say that she has now secured the title “living legend” with a feat like this. Let’s just hope that she can keep this momentum going unlike the other ladies I mentioned who have suffered in the “sales” department with their last efforts.
WOW… Just WOW!! Christina Aguilera brought the house down with a powerful and flawless rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” at game 6 of the NBA finals tonight. This is probably my second favorite live rendition of our national anthem right behind Whitney Houston’s infamous 1991 Super Bowl XXV performance.
Love him or hate him… There’s no denying that Prince is one of the living musical legends of our time. At least BET definitely thinks so and is honoring him this year with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual BET Awards. A spokesperson for the show (Which honored Whitney Houston with the same awards last year) say that the “stand out” Prince tribute will celebrate the music icon’s “unique style”. The awards show will take place in Los Angeles on June 27th and will be hosted by Queen Latifah.
Christina Aguilera stopped by Regis & Kelly this morning on her promotion rounds to perform her current single “Not Myself Tonight“. After being sick all week (but managing to pull together solid vocal performances almost everyday) Christina belted out the song as if she has been in perfect health. No Whitney Houston excuses with this gal! Check out the stellar vocal performance…
PS… Her album Bionic is in stores now and is a MUST HAVE if you are a fan of good pop music!!
As Whitney Houston continues her trek across Europe with her Nothing But Love Tour, the bad press continues to roll in. This time negative reviews are coming out of England where Whitney performed at the O2 Arena over the weekend. According to Georgina Littlejohn of The Daily Mail, Whitney’s voice completely failed her at the sold out concert which prompted hundreds of people to walk out of the show. Concert goers where treated to Whitney missing multiple lines in multiple songs, panting excessively while performing, and randomly pausing without any explanation.
Mrs. Houston apparently gave an awkward apology to audience members after she stummbled through her signature song “I Will Always Love You“;
“She don’t want to come, my soprano friend… Sometimes the old girl sings, but not tonight… I want to do it, but she doesn’t want to… She’s getting a little… temperamental, even.”
During another performance of her classic, “The Greatest Love of All,” Whitney reportedly only sang two verses and let her backups singers carry the rest of the song. Whitney blamed the air conditioning in the arena on her vocal woes. Some fans were so disappointed that they demanded a refund for their tickets. Poor Whitney… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; I think it’s time to hang up the towel and retire from touring all together.
Whitney Houston stopped in Dublin, Ireland this week with her Nothing But Love Tour and wowed her fans when she pulled a very special guest onto stage to perform “The Greatest Love of All“. Check out the heart warming (and adorable) video above…
Whitney Houston’s camp has finally announced her next international single to be “Nothin’ But Love“… Something she has NOT be getting from critics while on tour. Anywho, this track is probably one of the more “current” sounding songs on the album and I’m PRAYING that the Freemasons get their hands on this single and turn it out they way turned out “Million Dollar Bill“!!! The US single is rumored to be “Worth It” but I haven’t been able to find confirmation about that one.

Whitney Houston finally kicked off the delayed UK leg of her tour after suffering from an illness but the diva received a cold reception from critics who were not impressed by her performance. Just like her Australian tour, some critics paned the show because Whitney was out of breathe and could barley get through some of her big numbers. She apparently blamed her poor preformance on the cold and air conditioning. The audience became annoyed because when Whitney became breathless, she would stall with long water breaks and audience chat sessions to give her time to recoup. The final straw came when Whitney disappeared for 15 minutes as they played the music video for “One Moment In Time” for the arena. Concert goers apparently grew weary at this point and started booing.
If Whitney was smart, I think she would learn her lesson from this disaster of a tour and NEVER hit the road on such a large scale again. In the future, she may just want to put on one, very high priced special engagement in NYC, make a DVD out of it and call it a day.
The Taiwanese Susan Boyle who became a youtube celebrity after belting out an impressive rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” a few weeks ago has a new viral video. Apparently this little kid can dance as well as sing! Check out the little chubster showing off his moves for a Taiwanese news segment.
