Whitney Houston gave a free concert in Central Park to support her big comeback album “I Look To You.” The diva has been gone and unable to produce a solid hit to top the charts in 7 years. According to the early album reviews and critique of Whitney’s Good Morning America performance poor Whitney was unable to hit the high notes. We’ve been noticing for years that Whitney’s beautiful voice has not been the same since her past drug addictions. We will always be Whitney Houston fans. It still didn’t look good for Whitney to be blaming Oprah for being the reason why she couldn’t sing. Whitney Houston is scheduled to appear on Oprah’s season premiere on September 14th. In the Oprah show promo there is a tease about whether Whitney lost her voice because of her drug habit and how she entered rehab.

Alicia Keys Speaks On Whitney Houston On GMA
We have lost track of how many Whitney concerts we have attended when the diva canceled and was a no show. So we aren’t surprised when Whitney Houston cut her GMA singing debut short. It was great to see Bobbi Kristina who joined her mom on stage. Isn’t it amazing how Bobbi looks exactly like her dad Bobby Brown and nothing like Whitney Houston? We wonder if the same thing is going to happen to Beyonce and Jay-Z’s kids?
It was one moment in time that she just wasn’t ready for.
Whitney Houston cut short her much-hyped comeback performance on “Good Morning America” Tuesday after apparently losing her voice.
The Grammy-winning diva got through just three songs from her new album “I Look to You” before apologizing to the 5,000-person crowd for overusing her famous pipes.
“I’m so sorry. I did ‘Oprah.’ I’ve been talking for so long. … I talked so much, my voice,” she said, trailing off.
“I shouldn’t be talking. I should be singing,” she said before breaking into her final, crowd-pleasing number, “I’m Every Woman.”
Fans, who came from as far away as Australia and arrived in line as early as 10 p.m. Monday, boisterously sang along with her. Still, some were disappointed by the brief set. “I expected it to be longer.
She couldn’t sing. She was really damaged,” said Joao Andrade, 28, of North Bergen, N.J. “I’m a little disappointed. I think she was brave to come out with no voice.”
The crowd, though, was firmly behind Houston, whose drug addiction and troubled marriage to Bobby Brown have overshadowed her musical career for nearly a decade.
They wore homemade T-shirts and carried glittery signs that proclaimed “Whitney We Love U.”
And when Houston emerged on stage, her hair in loose curls and wearing a sharp taupe dress, fans erupted and rushed toward her. “We missed you Whitney!” one screamed.
Her voice husky and her songs missing the high notes she was once known for, Houston belted out three cuts from her new album “I Look To You,” and appeared to choke up during its emotional title ballad.
The crowd was moved along with her, wildly applauding during poignant lines like, “After all my strength is gone, in you I can be strong.”
But Houston stopped after those first three, then had to apologize before closing out her set — which was supposed to be much longer, if the concert’s soundcheck is any indication.
“It brought tears to my eyes,” said Raleigh Hatcher, 38, of Jersey City.
“She’s been through so much in her life. She’s been working very hard, and it’s a lot to do. And she’s been doing it well.”[source]
