10 Ways to Save Whitney's Awful Tour

The former diva really needs some help

(Newser) – Whitney Houston’s comeback tour is a disaster. Her voice is giving out (she blames a bad air conditioning unit), and critics say she’s not even close to regaining her former glory. How can she step it up? Ami Angelowicz offers a 10-step plan, on The Frisky:

  • Hire Justin Bieber as the opening act: This one is just plain self-explanatory.
  • Utilize costumes, props, and stunts: Perhaps she should try “dropping down from the ceiling in a hot air balloon. Anything to distract from her piss poor vocals.”

  • Donate the proceeds to charity: If she turns it from Whitney Houston’s "Singing Badly 2010 Tour” to “Whitney Houston’s ‘We Are The World 2010 Tour,’” fans might forget that “they wasted $200 to hear you sputter.”
  • Write a tell-all: Then “release it in mid-tour, and cancel the remaining dates to promote it. You know you’d read it.”
  • Lip sync: If all else fails…

First sit her down & tell her if she doesn't improve they will replace her with Justin Bieber & tearing up her contract, she will never work again. Hire a traveling vocal coach. She is to practice a certain amount of time deemed necessary. Hire a traveling trainer. She is to work out an amount of time deemed necessary. Hire a Nutritionist & make up a meal plan. And last, she will sing her songs properly, no laying down on the stage etc. If she Doesn't meet any of these requirements, she's fired. She's in lousy physical condition, her voice is shot. She's a diva & does what she wants when she wants to do it. That has to stop. She has a boss, those 20,000 ppl paying a lot of money to see her sing her hits & dazzle her fans.
