Whitney Houston’s ‘X Factor’ Dress Malfunction

October 19th, 2009 // 6 Comments

Whitney Houston hit the stage last night on Britain’s equivalent to American Idol, X Factor. She had a little trouble however, mid-way through the song a strap on the back of her long silver dress snapped open midway through her performance of “Million Dollar Bill.”

The 46-year-old singer, making her first UK TV appearance in 12 years, shrugged off the wardrobe malfunction, however, joking to host Dermot O’Leary afterwards: “I sang myself out of my clothes.”

    That dress was waaayyyy too long. Looked like a borrowed dress that they did not even bother to alter.

    Sorry Yall, Whitney was high as a kite. CRACK IS WACK. Let this be a lesson to kids and other druggies…she has the voice of ANGELS singing at the gate and now is buggered up. Its funny that her concert has sold out…I was laughing into my Sunday Times…Whitney cannot sing anymore. Micheal Jackson rehearsal vid is much better than Whitney’s X FACTOR performance. Mariah can still hit the high notes too. However, Whitney should retire after this album. I feel sorry for her but sadly her time has come and gone. I hope she gets off drugs completely in the future and has enuf money to keep her in the life style that she is used to. Good Bless u Whitney

    She has always worn those long dresses that she has to lift up to move – one day she is going to fall.

    I thought that performance was pretty good all things considered … she sounds much better than she has in recent years & was not lip synching.
