Whitney Houston's British Comeback Concert Flops

Whitney Houston

As singer, Whitney Houston's tour continues, so do the bad reviews. After canceling tour dates, due to an alleged respiratory infection, some attributed to drugs rather than the flu, Houston took to the stage in Birmingham, England and received many online complaints from ticket holders after the show. Critics were not much kinder. It was the same story in Australia.

Houston's comeback tour is damaging her legacy. Years of drug and alcohol abuse have battered her voice. While she still sings better than most, one can hear the deterioration in her voice.

Whitney Houston's cocaine relapse

“I saw her pull a plastic bag out, put a folded bill to her nose and discreetly snort a line from it of what to me certainly looked like cocaine. She’s extremely thin and looks like a disaster. She’s a hot mess,” eyewitness Marlon David exclusively tells In Touch.

With reports that illness forced Whitney Houston to postpone the European leg of her world tour, In Touch can reveal shocking claims from onlookers at the Beverly Wilshire hotel in LA who were surprised on March 10 when the singer walked into the bar, appearing disheveled and out of it.

Lady Gaga Tour Losing Money

Lady Gaga

New York Magazine published an article on singer Lady Gaga, now being called Lady CaCa and alternatively Lady HaHa online, due to her odd antics and strange, contrived fashion sense and in it they revealed the person behind the persona dressed and behaved nothing like the singer we see today.

The article accurately paints her as a creation of producer and then boyfriend, Rob Fusari, who has since sued her for $30 million dollars, in a breach of contract dispute, regarding the 20% stake he holds in her company.

The article gives a very unflattering glimpse at Gaga, who stated, “I don’t like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I’m from New York. I will kill to get what I need.”

In a related item, it was reported her current tour, that has angered parents in Australia, due to its vulgar language and crass sexual content, is actually in the red, as Gaga is demanding a costly stage show that does not recoup its costs after ticket sales.

Grigoriadis on Gaga’s interview presentation: “Gaga spoke carefully in a very odd accent—some combination of Madonna as Madge and a robot, an affect enhanced by the fact that she refused to remove her lightly tinted sunglasses over the course of two hours.”

Gaga on her diet: “Pop stars should not eat.”

Former Gaga producer Rob Fusari on her fashion faux-pas: “Gaga wasn’t into fashion at this point: She liked leggings and sweatshirts, maybe with a shoulder out. “A couple times, she came to the studio in sweatpants, and I said, ‘Really, Stef?’ ” says Fusari. “ ‘What if I had Clive Davis in here today? I should call the session right now. Prince doesn’t pick up ice cream at the 7-Eleven looking like Chris Rock.”...

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey embarked on a national tour to support her failed CD, what was it called again? Anyway, based on reports, the tickets are selling very poorly, which is even worse considering it is a theater, not stadium tour, with far fewer seats to fill.
