Whitney Houston was booed by audience members as she performed in the UK for the first time in 11 years last night (April 13).
Fans were left disappointed by lengthy costume changes during the two-hour show at Birmingham’s LG Arena.
According to some concertgoers, the 46-year-old singer also struggled with her vocals as she sang tracks from new album ‘I Look To You’ and her back catalogue.
Houston’s UK tour had been due to begin last week in Manchester, but illness forced three gigs to be postponed.
The singer, who had respiratory problems, told the crowd last night that she was “feeling pretty good with myself”.
But a series of delays, including a mid-show 15-minute costume change, disappointed some fans.
Critics were also been left divided, with The Sun saying the gig "was not the performance that fans had been hoping for".
The Daily Star said there were points when the singer was “out of time and struggling for breath due to the pesky AC”.
However, The Guardian said Houston’s performance showed she was “definitely back”.

- WE went last night after paying £200 for two tickets and she was awful. She missed lots of high notes, sounded out of breath and for the the last half of the concert did not sing, just ad libbed over the backing singers who carried her. Waste of money and v disappointing. The promoters should postpone the tour until she's better. Straining her voice will make it worse.
- Such a shame this diva has lost her mojo it was a long a long way from her Starlett days a lot of money for a total disaster
- Such a good night go whitney she did really well everyone was screaming whitney i would go and see her again she still got that voice, theres was one problem waiting around but apart from that she did great even tho her thoart was abit sore worth the money!!!!
- very disappointed should have stayed at home. Just an old hasbeen. Will demand my money back.The worst live gig i have every been too. I suggest you go back home and stay there.
- Very disappointing! more like an audience with whitney than a music concert! she put off singing by rambling on to the audience about nothing comprehendable and recieved comments like "get on with whitney", "shut up and sing", "who's your dealer" and "show us your face". when she did sing they were out of tune and time and she was mostly out of breath. the only time she sang properly was to when performing crazy ad libs about the air conditioning and
