This online article in a British paper, The Guardian, panned Whitney's Birmingham performance in 2010. Notice the backlash from the readers who commented.

But this one roundly contradicts the critical piece:
Review: Whitney Houston, Trent FM Arena, Nottingham | This is Nottingham
An excerpt from it says: "If you had witnessed last night's astonishing performance at the Trent FM Arena, then you might have found it hard to have much sympathy with the cynics. For contrary to many people's expectations, Whitney Houston delivered a powerful, passionate performance to a crowd that was overwhelmingly on her side."
It almost makes me cry to think about how the vultures in the press and the leeches in her life just would not give this woman a moment's peace.
But her true friends like KC saw things clearly and did not join in the circus. They supported her, and had he (or someone in the KC prototype) been her husband, the last 20 years would have taken a completely different course.
