MOSCOW, January 12 (Itar-Tass) -- U.S. pop star Whitney Houston is expected to visit Russia, that is her long cherished dream. The singer will give a concert in St. Petersburg on February followed by two concerts in the Kremlin concert hall in Moscow on February 10,11.

Whitney Houston's concert tour to Russia was planned a long time ago, but for some reason was delayed. This time, the singer is hoped to keep her promise. Whitney Houston still enjoys immense popularity, and she is one of the most highly paid singers. She asked a little over a million dollars for her concerts in Russia. Apart from rather a high fee, the U.S. singer has made certain conditions that were outlined in a long list in her contract. The organizers of Whitney Houston show in Russia fear that they might have to paint the backstage of the Kremlin palace white because the singer dislikes being in darkness.

Russian admirers of the celebrated singer are to pay from 200 to 1,300 dollars per ticket. Nonetheless, the organizers have assured that despite a high ticket price the audiences will not be disappointed because the pop star from the overseas included the best songs from her repertoire in the programme of the Russian concerts.

Whitney Houston - the winner of six Grammy awards, is known as a movie actress. The singer was awarded numerous cinematography prizes for a part in The Bodyguard where she starred with Kevin Kostner. The soundtrack to the film proved to be the most popular music bestseller in history. A few songs from The Bodyguard will be performed in Russia.
