Monica performed yet another tribute to her close friend and mentor Whitney Houston last evening on the Los Angeles stop of the ‘Passion, Pain & Pleasure’ tour. The singer covered ‘I Have Nothing’ in an effort to remind the audience that, many years ago, Houston had the ability to sing. Peep the footage below via Rap-Up TV:
Monica did a great job. Although she lowered the key from the original composition, she showed impressive control and power. It’s exciting to see singers pay tribute to those who inspired them, especially when their idols can’t even sing their own material (or even remember the words) anymore. We all know that if Houston tried to sing this song today she would speak through the verses and let her backup singer or a backtrack handle the chorus and all the high notes.
