Whitney Houston at The Plymouth Jazz Festival in Tobago

I just pulled this off the BV Buzz this morning family.....Wow.....

R&B diva Whitney Houston disappointed a sold-out crowd who came to see a rare performance by the trouble-prone singer at the Plymouth Jazz Festival in Tobago on Sunday, April 27.
The 'Greatest Love of All' singer performed on the last night of the festival, just before headliner Rod Stewart took the stage. Houston opened her show with 'Its Not Right, But Its Okay' and by her third song, 'Saving All My Love,' the once soprano's newfound tenor tone was in full rasp.
Delivering only seven songs during her 30 minute set, Houston was reportedly paid a whopping $3 million for the show.

Though journalists were flown in from all over the world, Houston refused to allow media and photographers within 200 feet of the stage. She brought her own photographer to the venue and only he was allowed to shoot her performance. Wearing a white gown with a single shoulder strap, Houston skipped around the stage and continuously shouted to the crowd: "I love you Trinidad!'

Unfortunately, the concert was in Tobago!

Locals shouted back each time: "This is Tobago!"

Houston also paid tribute to several other festival performers during her show. "Hearing so many of the greats that have performed this weekend bring back so many memories," she told the crowd. "My daughter and I have listened from our porch each night and I have enjoyed Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and En Vogue." The 44-year-old music icon ambitiously attempted 'And I'll Always Love You,' however she struggled through the build up and knew better than attempt the high finish.



She bowed and then squatted after her pseudo-encore of Chaka Khan's 'I'm Every Woman,' which Houston also recorded for 'The Bodyguard' soundtrack. The BV Buzz previously reported that Houston is slated to headline the Caudwell Children's Legend Ball at Battersea Evolution in London on May 8. A comeback album is rumored to feature production by the likes of Akon, R. Kelly and Ne-Yo, among others and is schedule for November. Houston divorced singer Bobby Brown in Feb. 2007 after 14 years of marriage. Since then she's been romantically linked to R&B singer Ray J.

3 Mil for HALF a Show???? Damn.

I still love Miss Whitney though and I'm still praying that she can get it together and return to the stage where she belongs.....
