After waiting 11 years for the singer to return, Italy has welcomed Whitney Houston to the stage for her performance on X-Factor in Milan.

The songbird performed the single “Million Dollar Bill” from her new album. The audience went wild for the singer, who showed off her trademark long limbs in a strapless white Dolce & Gabbana dress. And this time around, her boobs were safely secured with big black bow.

Whitney’s 46-year-old pipes seemed to be in good working order as she bounded across the stage energetically, a big smile on her face. I think the exuberant host best expressed the feeling in the crowd when he asked, “Can I lick you?” Grazi, indeed!
