According to <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/life\/music\/news\/2010-04-26-whitney26_ST_N.htm\">The Daily Mail&#8217;s<\/a><\/em>music reviewer Georgina Littlejohn, who had a front run seat for the foolery, hundreds of people walked out in the middle of a two-hour show which saw Houston reportedly missed multiple lines in multiple songs, panting excessively while performing, and randomly pausing without explanation.<\/p>\n<p>Even Whit was startled by her bizarre performance, telling the disappointed concertgoers: <em>\u201cShe don\u2019t want to come, my soprano friend\u2026 Sometimes the old girl sings, but not tonight\u2026I want to do it, but she doesn\u2019t want to\u2026 She\u2019s getting a little\u2026 temperamental, even.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The singer reportedly blamed the air conditioning in the arena for the debacle (<em>Insert rolling eyes here<\/em>&#8230;.Uh-Huh.  It\u2019s totally the air conditioner\u2019s fault!) &#8212; critics, on the other hand, were far less forgiving.<\/p>\n<p>Littlejohn wrote: <em>&#8220;She struggled further with another of her classic songs, this time cutting short &#8216;Greatest Love Of All,&#8217; only managing to pull of a couple of verses. And during much of the set she paused and panted for breath between songs while her backing singers did a great job of carrying her with their melodies. Her outfit also left a bit to be desired. She came on stage in tight leather trousers, a sequinned jacket that struggled to fasten at her middle and a bloated face. Whitney did manage to stay on stage for the majority of the two-hour gig, her first of three at the Docklands venue. But fans were still unhappy, with some even demanding their money back.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/doP2LxuUhGWbpgdCETXeFcaOWk4\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/doP2LxuUhGWbpgdCETXeFcaOWk4\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/doP2LxuUhGWbpgdCETXeFcaOWk4\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/doP2LxuUhGWbpgdCETXeFcaOWk4\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, this is one tune that&#8217;s becoming part of an all too familiar song.
