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."

Good god! She sounds like crap! Out of breath, not holding notes, flat tone...and what's with the jugs and back fat??
Damn, girl! Spend some time getting in shape before going on tour.

I think people should reserve their comments. This woman fought the battle of drugs, and is still fighting it everyday. Fat? big boobs? My word, before you judge walk in her shoes.
let's hear YOU sing and record a number one album...if you can't then keep your idiotic comments to yourself.
She is a good reason why drugs is bad for us.On top of the world and should be under a rock with a voice like that
To Phuke, it is obvious that you have heard the sound of crap before. how else would you recognise the sound? I would imagine you sound as common ond clueless as you write.i wish you well in your persuite of contentment. i would not wnat to wish you happiness.
SHE DOES SOUND LIKE CRAP and she looked completely dazed strung out high something...I mean she was ON something...That lady needs help!
Unbelievable that people are so accustomed to seeing women’s bodies airbrushed to the point of disaster, or someone that has unhealthily treated their body to be beyond skinny, that when you see a slim healthy women one would refer to her as being “fat”! This is shameful, I am supporting Whitney completing. I believe she handled the wardrobe malfunction gracefully and was even able to joke about it. It seems to me that a lot of the negative responders are just that negative people that want to spew their negativity on others. Whitney is a survivor and has proved that even when you make poor choices and let life get down you don’t have to be out!!
Back fat???? You got to be kidding. Whitney looks and sounds terrific. You stupid hater. I would love to see a picture of you. You are probably ugly as homemade sin.
yeah I have to agree,god bless her,but she isn't ready to "come back" yet I only want the best for her but too soon no voice,tired out of breath but still a pretty woman
How dare you idiot she is going through hell in her life and you can sit there in your plush Living Room chair making fun of her. Try living the life, recover and come back based on your words you havn't got the ba**s, big mouth but no ba**s.
your amazeing god bless you whitney cheering for you hold your head high and smile be cause god is on your side
I believe she has given to many interviews mark my word. The next live performance you hear from her after all these interviews are over her voice will resume it usual luster. She sounded hoarce I recall she would'nt perform if the aircondition was on because it makes her hoarse. I think she still has it. you will see in the future when she sings she has not lost it
iF YOU CAN DO A BETTER JOB PLS LETS HEAR YOU. sHE DID A GREAT JOB AND WAS A LADY TO CARRY ON THREW THE SONG WITH OUT MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT. sO LET,S HEAR YOU. GO WIT AND PAY NOATTENTION TO PEOPLE LIKE THIS.
"Phuque" must be some kind of alias for Barbara Streisand, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Nancy Wilson, Natalie Cole, or some other type female singer in order to be qualified to critique Whitney's performance. If not, it must be an alias from some top-ranking music producer or somebody like that. Just who are you to give a critique like that? Please, tell us. Or, are you just another person with an inferiority complex who needs to put others down to feel better about yourself?
Keep in mind, she is Dion Warwick's niece. As her age progresses, her voice has deepened somewhat. Maybe it is a family trait. She still sounds a hell of a lot better than I do.
I imagine it's difficult for any dress to support 20 pounds of silicone! But never mind the outfit, it's the song that did me in. I hope I never ever have to hear that noisy, repetitious number again.
I used to love Whitney and her music, but I have to say, I'm moving on. I wish her well; but she's a memory now.

She kinda appeared a little off center. Wonder whether she was high. Her eyes never were wide open and she avoided looking the host in the eyes. hmm..

I thought so too. I'm glad i wasn't the only one that saw it. She look like she did get a high a few mins b4 she hit the stage. I hope I'm wrong.
if you don't have anything positive to say about a person don't say anything at all. do unto others as you want them to do to you. whitney continue to trust in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and let your haters be your elavator.
kemetica2, I noticed the same thing and remembered the other times she claim she was not using drugs, even her last so called comeback she was stoned. She even had ads out before hand telling teens to say no to drugs, then there she was, a crack head on tv showing how nasty she was and telling the cameras that "all her fans can do for her was buy her CD's and kiss her (you know what)." Then lied over and over again. (par for drug addicts) I thought she was something so positive and real, now she's just a big negative nothing. They may as well hang a sign out saying even if you do drugs and you no longer have that fire you're still a hot ticket. Sorry,Whitney will not get any more of my money nor support. The enviroment she's in is only going to encourage her to use, I will not help enable her. Her voice is gone, it's not coming back, she will never be the Whitney she was. She is burned out, used up, a has been. Britney Spears has more fire, that feeling when Whitney sang from the heart is no longer there,she should be spending her time with her daughter, there is only so much a girl can talk to her Father about.
