there have been several bad reports about her 'performances'. Seams she wants to blame everything else for these 'I had a cold' 'I have a cold' 'I am getting a cold' the aircon is too high /low etc etc

Sorry, but she has really gone down hill over the last few years. Bobby Brown has a lot to answer for.

Well at least she got on a ferry to Ireland so as not to disappoint her fans there, although many of them were no doubt wishing she hadn't if she sang like that

More than 10 years ago me and mine went to see her either in Sheffield or Manchester, she was 50 mins late for the opening
of the concert, there was steam coming off people in the arena, she had demanded the heat be switched on full for her voice.

After some slow clapping and a little booing she stomped on to the stage and told us in a very angry voice pointin to her throught "this isn't just a voice its an instrument so wait".
She half sang songs and would either dissapear of stage or sit down and mumble mike in one hand and small towel in the other.
When she sang I will always love you her fans at the front sang along, she stopped dead in her tracks pointed at them and said "If you think you can do better you do the show!"

She refused to do her old stuff telling us that was yesterday and she wanted to sing gospel.

About one third of people walked out whilst she built the audience up to a big note for 20 minutes and then delivered a shrill croak.

That was her LAST tour not this one.

Pity I was a big fan before that.

Just watched that video and "I am just writing a letter to Daddy" sprang to mind.

Tragic. She was an amazing singer.

I heard a similar clip on the radio last week, I'd want my money back.
