People: Whitney Houston’s voice a mess in ‘Good Morning America’ concert

Whitney Houston’s big comeback performance on “Good Morning America” Tuesday didn’t go off as well as she hoped, with her voice cracking several times during a three-song gig, says the New York Daily News.

The singer, whose new album “I Look To You” came out Tuesday, apologized to the 5,000-person crowd in New York City’s Central Park crowd for overextending her voice before taking the stage.

“I’m so sorry. I did ‘Oprah,”‘ Houston said. “I’ve been talking for so long. … I talked so much, my voice … . I shouldn’t be talking. I should be singing.”

The Daily News says fans, who came from as far away as Australia and arrived in line as early as 10 p.m. Monday, had mixed reactions.

Whitney Houston Stumbles During “Good Morning America” Taping

The same day I Look to You, Whitney Houston’s first album in seven years, arrived in stores, the singer’s long-awaited comeback seemed to stutter during a live appearance in New York.

The free show at Central Park’s Rumsey Playfield was a taping for ABC’s Good Morning America that was attended by some 4,000 fans, some of whom had been in line since the previous night. The performance and brief interview air tomorrow morning.

Houston certainly looked the part this afternoon, dressed in a one-piece outfit and beaming with energy as she ran on to the stage just after 12 p.m., but as her band kicked in with the Alicia Keys-co-written new single “Million Dollar Bill,” her voice began to crack and she sounded out of breath halfway through the track.
