Access Hollywood: Whitney Houston Rocks ‘Good Morning America’
NEW YORK, NY --
Whitney Houston premiered two songs from her
new album, “I Look To You” on ABC’s “Good Morning America” this morning, in
a four-song performance which also included two classics. The concert was
pre-taped at noon in New York’s Central Park on Tuesday.
Whitney kicked off the set with her new single, “Million Dollar Bill,”
pointing the mic frequently towards the audience. She continued the set with
her 1999 hit, “My Love Is Your Love,” even inviting daughter Bobbi Kristina
out on stage to sing along for a few lines.
Her set continued with the emotional ballad, “I Look To You,” which brought
her mother Cissy Houston (who was in the audience) to tears.
Whitney concluded her set with her popular version of Chaka Khan’s “I’m
Every Woman.”
Whitney admitted, however, that her voice was not in top form.
“I’m so sorry. I did Oprah,” she told the audience of thousands. “I’ve been
talking for so long… I talked so much, my voice… I shouldn’t be talking, I
should be singing.”
Following her set, Whitney hugged anchor Diane Sawyer and “new friend” Robin
Roberts, who co-hosted from on stage. Whitney assured Diane that much has
changed in her life since their now infamous 2002 “Crack is Whack” interview
on “Primetime Live.”
