Whitney Houston was spotted performing on the Japan leg of her ‘Nothin’ But Love’ world tour yesterday in Saitama. The diva, who admitted to lip-syncing some of the the up-tempo material during recent performances, sang several songs from her platinum-selling album, ‘I Look To You’. Check for more images below:

    beautiful! I watched some of her performances on youtube and she sounds good.

  2. Soblessed February 11, 2010

    She said she tried to lip synch BUT she didn’t like it. For the second concert in Seoul, she sang those up tempo songs LIVE.

    Thanks for posting the pics!

    LIPPING 10% OF THE CONCERT IS BETTER THAN LIPPING 90% LIKE BRITNEY AND 70% LIKE BEYAAAWNCE. GET THE FACTS RIGHT IF U WANNA TALK FAKE CONCERTS.

Get that !

    Glad to see Whitney bk doing her.

    So we should applaud Whitney because she hasn’t had a top 10 hit off the new album? That means she is only selling because of her name, which is no accomplishment. Beyonce does use backing tracks but sings over them 90% of the time.

  12. Khalil February 11, 2010

    NO dumb@sses Beyonce does lip a lot. Please stop being so damn stupid people. How the hell do you expect her to sing and do all that dancing and not even breathe heavy. Some people are some a holes foreal. And if you heard Whitney she said I have tried this lip thing and its just not her. She said that at her first stop in Korea last week. I would rather hear raw real emotion vocals than some track playing! HMPH…Whitney is the #1 diva regardless!

  13. Ann February 11, 2010

    Yes, we do applaud Whitney. It simply means that with virtually no air play outside of R and B her album has sold well. For her to be back on stage and doing a world tour is nothing short of a miracle . As for comparisons–why don’t we just celebrate all of these ladies and wish them well instead of picking apart the “lip-synching and back tracking” issue. It’s just an “issue” that the media love to bring up and overblow–but for the artists who are up there dancing and singing at the same time–they need a little breath support. It’s not cheating–they are singing over their own tracks–it’s their voice–it keeps up the tempo–who wants to go to a live concert with gazzilions of spaces of no voice? Fans of an artist go to live concerts. Fans understand and support their favorite artists. I, like many , am thrilled to see Whitney
    return to the spotlight and can hardly wait to see her here in the states. God Bless her!

    It Amazes me how quickly postings on Bey, Whit, Riri…and other black female artists turns into comparisons and arguing. ITS SOOOO STUPID…….EVERY SINGER Lips at some point of their show, ALL of em……some more than others tho. Anyway, We only have a hand full of black females on top in the music industry, so I wish some people could celebrate them instead of comparing. Congrats WHITNEY, cant wait to see ya in the US!

  15. marquies February 11, 2010

    DONT DO IT 90% of Beyonce’s shows are live. She only uses back tracks (inwhich she sings over them) to songs with non stop dancing ie Get Me Bodied. But majority of her uptempos are sung live All of her ballads are 100% live. Beyonce has an excuse anyway she dances. What’s whitney’s??? and britney chile plz I kno somebody didnt say 90% was lipped try 99.9%

  16. MJfan February 11, 2010

    Whitney has sold over 150 million records.
    Sold out concerts
    Number hits
    Grammys and plus other awards.
    Has been in the game for over 30 years.

    DO NOT EVER COMPARE MS. WHITNEY HOUSTON TO THESE NEW SCHOOL ARTISTS. THAT IS AN INSULT TO WHAT SHE HAS ACCOMPLISHED. SHE IS A LIVING LEGEND. SHE ISN’T CATERING TO THE TEENY BOPPER OR 20 SOMETHING, SHE IS CATERING TO ADULTS. WHITNEY HAS SMASHED THE BEATLES RECORD, AND HER SOUNDTRACK TO THE BODYGUARD TO THIS DAY, NOONE HAS BEAT. SO PLEASE STOP COMPARING WHITNEY HOUSTON TO BEYONCE, BRITNEY, OR ANY WOMAN, YOUNG ENOUGH TO BE HER DAUGHTER. BUT YOUNG FOLKS WILL DO THAT, WHEN THEY DON’T KNOW NO BETTER. WHITNEY HOUSTON IS AN ICON. AN ICON,: WHITNEY HOUSTON, JANET JACKSON, MICHAEL JACKSON, DIANA ROSS, ARETHA FRANKLIN, BARBARA STRESIAND, TINA TURNER.

    OK i know this is a Whitney post and i absolutely IDOLIZE her… but i must slay some hating ass muddfuggers once and for all…

    All you Beyonce HATERS (do not confuse yourselves with just being opinionated) sound retarded as fugg. If you’ve actually seen Beyonce perform LIVe IN CONCERT you wouldnt be spittin the rubbish you blabbing.

    YES– Bey does lip. BUT RARELY.. On the Beyonce Experience tour she only lipped Ring The Alarm (maybe), Get Me Bodied, and the end of Green Light. And SOMETIME, in fact RARELY does she lip on awards shows like the VMA, BET Awards, etc. But thats because those numbers and performances have the most dancing in them. Other thanthat, Beyonce sings LIIIIIIIIVVVVVVEEE always! Is it so hard to believe that someone can actually have a Gift from GOD to actually be able to sing live AND dance at the same time?? i swear this Beyonce haterism is getting more tired than her stanism.

  18. AREIS February 11, 2010

    Whitney was a great performer back in the day, and still today with way less singing she f****** talks the s***… AS I LAY ME DOWN………….I LOST WITHOUT SINGING BECAUSE…..THATS WHY I’MA TALK THIS SONG…..LOL Old Whitney would be nice, but hey I still like her.

    No comments on Beyonce I truly know she’s a great performer and singer

  19. nate February 11, 2010

    i actually read that whitney said she TRIED to lip sing but she couldn’t do it, AND that it didn’t feel comforatable to her or something and that her shows are 100 percent live.. GET.YOUR.FACTS.STRAIGHT!!!!!!

  20. Chris February 11, 2010

    Trent sit your b*** down…——> yeah, right over here in this corner.

    You know that Whitney only lipped For the Lovers and Nothing But Love the first night in Korea cause she was dancing up a storm. She called her self out and said ‘I tried but I just can’t lipsync’ ‘this mess ain’t working’ and she sang the remainder of the 1st night all live.

    2nd day Korea, she sang the verses live to Fore the Lovers and sang over backing tracks for the chorus. The remainder o fthe concert was live.

    You just want to give mimi space for lipping throughout her concerts especially tacking on that whistle track. That is a fail!

    Whitne sings LIVE: no voice, great voice, hoarse voice, good voice, she is a singer’s singer. Check her show vs Mimi, Ms. Whitney is slaying and taking names. Beyonce has a great show visually and vocally (but come on people, she does lip from time to time and I ain’t mad at her cause she’s dancing up a storm).

    Mariah has no excuse to lip.

    Get it Whit! Look at those legs, she gots those for days and I’m loving this rocker, edgier side to her. She ‘s getting her voice back slowly but surely.

  21. illmatic February 11, 2010

    She looks good and Trent, you’re a mess! Whitney is a live singer that is why she gets my respect and she is a performer. What I love about watching those recent clips was that she was rocking that stage. For someone her age, she was working it, dancing, rocking out, banging her head, doing the dang thing…go run tell Mimi do some of that stuff on tour 🙂

  22. Exclusiz February 11, 2010

    Looking good Whitney. Glad to see her doing what she does best!

  23. GeeMan February 11, 2010

    Stop making this a debate everybody today is using backing tracks or has lipped a performance what else is new. Give Whitney, with the lack of talent today at least we know she can still bring it. I ain’t mad at all. I wish the newbies were of better quality. I am grateful for the Whitney”s Mimi”s and Beyonce”s because they are of good quality and they have worked hard to get to their status so if slack a little bit give them a pass becuz they have earned their right.

  24. Sarah February 11, 2010

    Whitney looks hot! Nice legs.

  25. G.U.S February 11, 2010

    It’s a whitney moment… I’ ll see in london april 25th i cant wait

  26. kingnoah3000 February 11, 2010

    Yall are brain washed beyonce lip. Anyways cool to see her “still standin” m

  27. Sasha February 12, 2010

    Whitney did NOT lipsynch. She used a backing track for the chorus of For The Lovers and Nothing But Love.
    These 2 songs contain so many layers, how can one singer sing all the notes at the same time? She sang every single note live except for the chorus in which a backing track was played (i.e. “Put your hands up!” part). Even when she used a backing track, she didn’t pretend it was all ‘live’ like what Mimi did – Whitney adlibbed on top of backing vocals.

    Backing track for the chorus – YES
    Lipsynch? NEVER!

    Whitney is not Mimi. Trent is tarnishing Whitney’s image as a true live vocalist. The bottom line is, she did not and will not lipsynch!

    ‘THERE’VE BEEN HATERS SINCE THIS WORLDS BEEN GOING ROUND….’
    Whitney said it herself…
