Whitney Houston : Houston has lift-off




Move over Tina Turner. Whitney Houston showed who the true diva was at the last of her London gigs - by poking fun at her ex husband Bobby Brown and throwing in some fancy footwork for good measure too.The singer, 46, who has battled through her recent gigs, stunned the crowd with a rendition of I Wanna Dance (With Some-body), giving her teenage dancers a run for their money with some pretty nifty moves.But she had the audience at the O2 in stitches when talking about her ex Bobby on Wednesday.
She said: "My daughter called me after hearing a rumour on the internet that he had died. But I said, 'Trust me, if that had happened, I'd definitely be the first to know.' "He called her and said I should tell the people tonight, it's not over yet."
Whitney then sent herself up when she later pointed to her throat.Referring to her voice in the third person, she said: "She's a little temperamental," before belting out her Bodyguard chart-topper I Will Always Love You. And it wasn't half bad.

Whitney Houston postpones European tour

Whitney Houston has been forced to postpone the European leg of her world tour on doctor's orders.

According to The AP, the singer is currently suffering from an "upper respiratory ailment".

"[Houston] deeply regrets having been forced to postpone the show," said a statement issued by her representative.

The tour will now start in Manchester on Thursday, as opposed to Paris today, as was the original plan.

This is only the latest problem for Houston on her world tour for her platinum comeback album, I Look to You. Some earlier performances have allegedly been negatively received by some fans and insiders, leading to concerns about her health. However, the singer has insisted that she is in great shape.
