It's like trying to see a UFO if you live in the US.
For months we've been hearing (and seeing, thanks to godsend YouTube) about Whitney Houston's comeback performances across the globe. She was in Malaysia for the Live and Loud concert. She appeared in Tobago to terrible reviews. She then went to London to perform at the Cauldwell Children's Ball, where many proclaimed her voice was back. A few months earlier, she appeared at the Swarovski Rocks concert/fashion show there as well. There was Morocco, and the latest being in Kazahkstan a few weeks ago.
So, when is she coming to the US? Are these performances warm-ups, or test audiences? When will she be ready to launch a solid comeback?
My suggestion/wish?
Whitney Houston signs a deal with HBO/Showtime/MTV/VH1 (pick one) to air a special 2-hour concert special live from Madison Square Garden. The last time she did that was in 1997 with HBO for her Classic Whitney concert from Washington DC. I choose MSG because it's easy for me to get there and plus, its one of the greatest arenas in the world.
Of course, the concert would coincide with the release of her new album in November, preferably on November 7th (my b-day, lol). Her voice must also be in tip-top shape (UK tabloids reported Whitney's voice was so shot after years of drug use, she had to get voice lessons). Knowing how Whitney is when she's determined, I definitely think she can do it.
The press would be massive, the tickets would be an easy sell-out (seeing a major diva return after a tragic, yet slightly entertaining fall from grace? Easy), and plus, it would drum up interest in the new record, which she desperately needs (her last album Just Whitney peaked at #9).
Knowing the genius that is Clive Davis, I am seriously hoping he is planning something like this. Whitney needs something like this, plus, after finally dumping that drugged up sack of garbage she called a husband, she deserves it.
