Whitney Set To Take Over Jacko Dates
The dates left vacant by Michael Jackson’s untimely death could be filled by another megastar who’s attempting a comeback — Whitney Houston. The rehabbed diva (plus British pop superstar Robbie Williams) are being lined up as the names to take over the dates next January, February and March which are now lying empty. “Whitney Houston has been on our wish-list for a while - she has the voice and the hits to sell the arena out several times over,” a source says. And, you know, maybe she’ll even sing at her concerts, Britney Spears. Bonus! [Photo: WENN]

Ever since she got hooked on crack, her face has just looked clueless, not even close to the same sober person who made the movie “bodyguard”. It’s sad really.

Why can’t people just stand back and let Whitney show herself. Don’t be so damn critical.
Give the girl a chance. She is very pretty and has had a great career who are we to say that she can’t capture that again. I love her singing and I am an older woman but her voice, especially when she sang the Star Spangled Banner at the opening of a ball game……damn, that was the best I ever heard……….Whitney don’t let these self appointed critics cut you down. What do they know. Most of them don’t get up before noon and don’t have two nickels to rub together…….You go girl, strut your stuff, I know you can do it………I will pray for you to be strong and determined……..God Bless You and your family and especially that little girl…………

First of all, NO ONE can ” replace” Michael jackson. When he died, there was/is a huge hole in the music industry and no one can fill his shoes, even more, no one can DANCE in his shoes.
I had read early on that the concert promoters were trying/thinking of getting ABBA to fill those dates. Now THAT is a group that would easily sell out the venues.
Whitney is extremely talented and she could have a good concert, but people have seen Whitney in the past, Michael Jackson was going to make this is LAST time touring and that was the que that helped sell out the venues. ABBA has NOT performed in decades and they definately woud have filled the venues easily, I don’t think that Whitney could draw a crowd like Michael Jackson could or even ABBA could.
I think since the loss of Michael, those concert dates won’t be as full as they were. I am sure many people got a refund for their tickets, and maybe even some people kept their tickets to see whoever will be performing.
It just bears mentioning again, no one can fill Michaels shoes so those venues will most likely not be a full house every night of the concerts, no matter who they concert promoters get to perform since Michael had passed away.

Whitney does look nice, but her face looks like it is pulled too tight…too much botox maybe?
August 4th, 2009 at 1:14 am
What a comeback, Whitney. Very thoughtful for Michael Jackson.
August 4th, 2009 at 2:21 am
I have been a friend ,a fan and she is going to be great.Sometimes in life your set back will be your greatest comeback.God loves her and so do i
August 4th, 2009 at 5:53 am
MICHAEL’S NAME IS NOT “JACKO”. HE WAS A GENIUS. HE DIDN’T APPRECIATE BEING CALLED “JACKO” WHEN HE WAS LIVING. SINCE IT’S PROPER TO SPEAK WELL OF THE DEAD, I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD REFER TO HIM AS MICHAEL JACKSON OR “THE KING”. HIS DEATH BROKE THE HEART OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. THERE’S BEEN NO SADDER DAY SINCE THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST.
SAY NICE THINGS TO HELP MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

August 5th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I AGREE WITH YOU CHERYL WRIGHT 100%.
August 6th, 2009 at 11:52 am
She ’s starting to look alike like Celine Dione. Please don’t get with Psychic network, Whitney.
August 6th, 2009 at 11:56 am
I agree with you,hey don’t I know you Cheryl? Did you go to Columbia High School?
August 6th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Michael’s last name is Jackson not Jacko. Please show some respect!
August 7th, 2009 at 12:55 am
No shiz! Britney lip syncs her whole concerts!
I love Whitney and can’t wait for her comeback. She’s got so much talent there’s no way she could fail
August 7th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Its good to see Whitney Houston making music again, she has always been a favorite of mine since child hood.
August 8th, 2009 at 1:47 pm

August 10th, 2009 at 10:36 am
I think whitney u look beatiful. may good bless u and fam…..

It’s ridiculous to judge Whitney or anyone by age. Age is irrelevant. It’s talent that counts. Look at Patti LaBelle, Barbra Streisand, Tina Turner. You may not like their music but their talent can’t be denied.
In 2007, Streisand tickets sold in the UK for GB£100.00 and GB£1,500.00 Even at these prices she sold out. Streisand is 67.
LaBelle is 65, and Turner will be 70 this year. Turner’s current tour has become one of the highest selling ticketed shows of 2008-2009 according to Billboard Magazine, and LaBelle brings down the house wherever she performs.
Whitney is in her very early 50’s. Had her voice not been damaged and had she not lost control of her life, she would be at the top of her career. Jazz and opera singers don’t peek until their 50’s. Judging from other talented women, Whitney has a long career ahead of her if she can manage to impress people again.
Models are appropriately judged by how they look. Those who judge vocalists/musicians this way only show their shallowness and ignorance.

I think maybe they should put many people do it and do an honor to him too.
August 11th, 2009 at 1:30 am
I think Withney Houston is a great voice and had a lot of power. I think she has great talent but was a really bad example. I hope she is really sober and really does come back. It is sad to see beautiful talnet go to waste
August 11th, 2009 at 4:18 am
I Love Whitney she beautiful and she’s back i think she’ll be great to take on the empty spot.
She a person and people make mistakes and she done fixed them. It time for her comeback and now would be the time for her. Once she back in the building and the fans go wild i think she stay clean and sober. So stop with the negetive and give her a chance.
August 11th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
You go girl! I was a fan of your aunt (Dionne Warwick) and a fan of yours, even when you were down. I knew you would be back. Your a gift from God. Not to offend you, but did you have plastic surgery? Because the older you get you favor your aunt more than your mother.
August 11th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
I forgot to mention I’m 59years old and grew up listening to Dionne, and then you. I love the strength of your voice. So see you still have a huge fan base out here. When you go on tour in the United States, I defintely plan to attend.
August 12th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
She may have had some bad times….we all have, just not in the tabloids. Give her a break, I would give both my arms and legs to have a voice ike hers.
August 12th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
I love Whitney! I really hope she can stay on the straight, if not it would just be another wasted talent. Her voice gives me goose bumps.
August 12th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
I believe Beyonce has a better shot at making those dates good, not to take anything away from Whitney, but she had ger glory, I think more than once.
