Nothing But Love...

News.com.au: A whole lot of love for Whitney Houston

POP diva Whitney Houston redeemed herself at her Sydney concert overnight.
It was as if her audience at Acer Arena really wanted her to succeed in the wake of bad reviews from her Brisbane show earlier this week.

During the first half she rocked the audience, who were on their feet even before the first song.

The second half was not so successful.

She returned in unflattering black sparkling pants and woolly vest and during her acoustic and gospel songs she couldn't reach some of the higher notes.

Some in the audience described the concert as "bizarre and weird'', with Houston stopping and starting in the middle of songs.

But the show stopper was I will Always Love You.

There was big break in the middle of the song as she went to the back of the stage, returning to lift the roof.

Despite her patchy performance and at times incoherence, the audience warmed to her.

The tour is scheduled to continue to the Hunter Valley, Melbourne and Adelaide.
