During Saturday night's 'X Factor' performance, Whitney Houston was left red-faced after a strap at the back of her long silver dress snapped open midway through her performance of 'Million Dollar Bill.' She shrugged off the wardrobe malfunction though, joking to host Dermot O'Leary afterwards, "I sang myself out of my clothes." Watch her performance:Whitney Houston Has 'X Factor' Wardrobe Malfunction
During Saturday night's 'X Factor' performance, Whitney Houston was left red-faced after a strap at the back of her long silver dress snapped open midway through her performance of 'Million Dollar Bill.' She shrugged off the wardrobe malfunction though, joking to host Dermot O'Leary afterwards, "I sang myself out of my clothes." Watch her performance:This performance marked Houston's first UK TV appearance in 12 years, UK's Daily Mail reports.
Last week, Houston told UK's Daily Mail that her 'X Factor' performance "should be a fun night. I am a fan of Simon Cowell's and look forward to meeting him," she said.
Houston's comeback has been mostly successful, at least when it comes to record sales. Whitney's 'I Look to You' debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, selling more than 300,000 copies in its first week of avalaibility. 'Look' is Houston's first studio album in eight years, and also her first since her rapid slide into drugs and a public split from ex-husband Bobby Brown.
Houston also hit a hurdle in her comeback when her big coming out performance on 'Good Morning America' was marred by poor sound and cracking vocals from the songstress. She apologized for the performance, saying that because of her publicity tour and appearance on 'Oprah,' she'd "been talking for so long. ... I talked so much, my voice ... I shouldn't be talking. I should be singing."

The woman is not fat. Heaven's I think you need to check your definition.
Dress...not the best.
Live singing? Hey, Whitney's had a hard time. Her voice is shot. It's just good to see her back.
Whitney will never be fat ever! She looks stunning! The dress snapped but she's a trooper, snag live and was great! Whitney, well done baby, u r the best, no vocoder involved either! Great stuff!
I can't believe that a 135lb 5' 9" woman would be considered fat in your world. You are obviously part of the subculture in this country that appreciates bony under nourished females. She looked fantastic for a woman of her age. She isn't the singer she was when she was 20 years old, but then again neither are Annie Lennox, Madonna, Cynda Lauper, and Pat Penatar, but what they are is always trying to persevere. The music industry is very harsh on woman artist. The men keep on making lousy music with their crackling voices and they keep on getting their fans to buy their albums but a woman tries to reenergize their careers and they get flak for weight, appearance, and voice quality. People grow up. Appreciate reality for what it is...we are not immortal...
This has nothing to due with her losing weight. She is skinny enough. I think with that thin material and her trying to bounce around is what caused. And her voice in my opinion still sounds terrible. She has smoked her wind pipes out. Poor Whitney, she looks like one of Madame Tussad's wax figures.
I am much happier to look at a slightly heavier looking Whitney, than the skeletal looking one, who looked closer to death. Butchbus, your name suggests a lot of unsavory images to me be happy, go and get a life, and enjoy it.
Fat? No way...a much healthier looking Whitney. But her Wardrobe Manager should be fired. Her dress was way too long and she was unable to dance or move without holding it up. The strap was inproperly fastened. Whitney was elegant in how she handled it. Bravo to you, Whitney!
she's not fat but you are an idiot!
Whitney could show up in a potato sack, sing without a microphone and still be 10 times a better entertainer than any of the female singers out there.
Fat? comments like that are some of the reason that our children develop eatting disorders. People claiming women are fat when they actually look just fine. In my opinion women should not be super skinny with their bones sticking out that is not very attractive to me, I would much rather my woman have a lil meat on her bones.
you know what it's people liek you who're the reasons so many young girls are developing eating dissorders,and in some cases die from them. just because whitney doesn't weigh less than 90 lbs, that does not mean she's fat. real women are suppose to have curves. and not look like scrawny men with vaginas. what if taht happend to nichole richie. what'd your hypocritical excuse be for her? you must only like girls who look liek crackwhores.
She's not fat. However, the dress is too small for her. Maybe if her clothes fit right, this wouldn't happen! LOL
She isn't fat! But even if she was, she could lose weight, while you would still be an idiot!!!
You are an idiot!
ok she's not fat. the dress was made too tight. even if she was heavier, the dress should fit her body, not the other way around. it also looked a little bit long, she kept having to pick it up just to move. i think they were just rushed in the tailoring or something. you seriously need to get a life, dude.
I noticed that Whitney has picked up some weight and I was glad. Before, she looked sickly and anorexic. The weight gain is an indication that she is healthier than she was before. Now I know she's doing much better with the weight gain. She looks good. Glad to have you back, Whitney!
No, what's really terrible is your lack of proper punctuation. Are you a two year old or just too lazy to do things the right way?
imagine someone called butchbuss calling whitney fat... and others saying her voice is shot.. that must be why CLIVE DAVIS had her sign for a new record... you all should go back under the mud that you crawled out from under before you open your toothless mouths and speak such nonsense... not a great dress choice for whitney... but everyone makes a fashion mistake now and again...in fact I bet most of you are living fashion mistakes EVERY single day! Let me know when your next records come out! Good Luck Jackholes!
She sounds terrible, can't catch a note, Simon should have gonged her. She loses her voice way too much, sounds out of breath(probably in poor physical shape), looked terribly fat & out of shape for her frame & her stand-offish attitude towards the host was repulsive. Otherwise than that, great comeback, good luck to you Whitney!
You have got to be kidding!!Or in desparate need of cataract surgery!! Whitney is no where near fat. She looks fabulous!She is definitely at a healthy weight
