whitney houston can't sing no more :(

I was just watching the news about her australian tour and oh my god... she really cannot sing! which is really upsetting i believe.

here is one of her live performances in korea, singing her classic "I Will Always Love You"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGvuQBOwQKM






watching how this great artist that once had one of the best vocals ive ever heard makes me think about ayu nowadays... we all know that ayu never had that great vocals from the start, but we surely know how she's doing lately

http://www.youtube.com/watch#playnex...&v=T_NGo04kLQQ




Also, i dont wanna compare cause both of them have different life stories, whitney with her drug addiction problems, and ayu of course with her hearing problems + all the touring she's done non-stop for 11 years and still counting.


Does ayu need to stop and have a break so she can rest her vocal cords or what? i mean i dont want her to end up coughing all way through her concerts like whitney does now.

what do you guys think about this? any more info that you would like to add is always welcome

Don't blame the drugs, blame her addiction.

LOL but they are the crap anyway. Doesn't matter if it's "the drugs" or "her addiction". Her addiction came from those drugs; The drugs didn't "appear" because of her addiction, not did her addiction "magically" appear from nothing, so there isn't much difference into blaming one or the other. LOL

Let's just say that it's a sad situation all around when vocalists' voices get destroyed.

Whitney had the most amazing voice.

and...guys, Ayu's voice was going to deteriorate anyway, even with how much she apparently "cares" for it. It's not all her ear. Her condition is just emphasizing a problem that she's always had.

are you serious? Mediocre compared to her glory days.

and you can't really compare her situation to ayu's. Whintey polluted herself with those drugs while ayu has an uncontrollable condition.

Oh no!! This.....this is definitely a shame. I remember sitting on the computer one day, going through all her performances of I Will Always Love You, and just staring and listening in awe...... That video definitely didn't show that same singer. D:
And she's only in her mid-forties, yes? She should still be going strong....... I suppose it would be the drugs, then. Because she was known for over-singing, especially with this special song, but it wasn't in a way that would ruin her voice (not from what I've seen, anyhow). So yeah.... So sad.

Then again, is it just this concert she was off? Or has she been going down for a while now? I honestly haven't seen any very recent performances by Houston, so.. I hope she takes care of her health from on now, to help save that beautiful voice!


And yes, I think we all realise that Ayu certainly needs to rest her voice, but for different reasons than what Whitney does, of course. Whitney Houston's most likely problem is her health in general - not necessarily her actual voice - probably due to the drugs she's done, while Ayumi's problem is mostly her voice alone being extremely worn out. (Then again, we still don't know whether or not Ayu is doing other things to contribute, as well, such as drinking, smoking, etc.....and her ear is most likely causing some issues, of course)

The video is from her concert in korea, and she is touring around australia now. people that went to her first performance in sydney complained so much! they said that it was the worst concert they've ever been to, etc

many people walked off of it too :/ and they showed a few videos of her singing and it was worst than this one i posted here. she didnt sing, she was just talking, and when she tried to sing she started coughing... so yea


pretty upsetting...


but why the hell is this woman touring if she cant sing? i mean she could take some time to see if she is actually capable of it

Nooo, she was a professional singer with a 4 octave range. She underwent throat surgery a few years ago and completely lost her singing voice.

That's so sad. :/ Whitney really had a amazing voice before. I didn't watch the video but I can honestly believe it's not what it used to be. But I will watch the video later today (if I'm able to come here) and say more.

Poor Whitney... it's not TERRIBLE on its own, but knowing that she was capable of so much better in the past, yeah... this was baaaaaad.

Are you saying that Ayu doesn't care about her voice? Jeez...
