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
The 'Greatest Love of All' singer performed on the last night of the festival, just before headliner Rod Stewart took the stage.
Delivering only seven songs during her 30 minute set,
Though journalists were flown in from all over the world,
Wearing a white gown with a single shoulder strap,
Unfortunately, the concert was in
Locals shouted back each time: "This is
"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
The BV Buzz previously reported that
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.

1. I'm gonna be very skeptical unless I see any footage of Miss Houston myself about her sounding "bad." It seems to me that some people expect vocals like back in the days of "The Bodyguard." Folks, it aint gonna happen. But if Whitney can get on stage and still belt, even if its lower, then I'm pretty happy. Let's have realistic expectations and not skewer a woman who just got her damn life back on track. She can still sing better than 90 percent of the shit on the radio. Period.
