The mixed reviews that greeted the announcement of a Whitney Houston hologram tour acted as no deterrent for the singer’s estate who, as a recent press release confirmed, are moving forward as planned with the digitized diva depiction (click here to read more on that).
Titled ‘An Evening With Whitney,’ the trek, armed with Houston’s greatest chart-topping hits, will attempt to recreate the magic of her live stage offerings by utilizing a live band and dancers (under the choreographic direction of the legendary Fatima). Kicking off its international leg January 23rd with appearances to follow in England, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, and more before wrapping up in Minsk, Belarus on April 3rd, the BASE Hologram event – produced in partnership with the late Grammy winner’s estate – will take a summer break before hitting American soil in fall 2020.

Taking to press, Pat Houston – Whitney’s sister-in-law, former manager, and President of her estate – expressed elation over the event’s launch.
“Whitney is not with us, but her music will live with us forever,” she said. “We know we made the right decision partnering with BASE because they understand how important it is to produce a phenomenal hologram. They also know that engaging her fans with an authentic Whitney experience would resonate worldwide because of the iconic status that she created over three decades. Her fans deserve nothing less because she gave nothing less than her best.”
Look below to peep the first image of the hologram donning clothes reminiscent of outfits from the diva’s ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’ era.
Return to sender. Whitney Houston is the DIAMOND standard of what a female singer’s voice should be. There is nothing lacking. Pat is an opportunistic leech that should be sent to jail immediately…she will not rest to rest until Nippy’s legacy is destroyed completely.
I couldn’t have said it better!
I like the idea but i think it is best suited as a concert special on HBO or Netflix. A tour? NO.
that’s because a lot of you is mad that Whitney Houston can sing better and she is prettier than all of them b******
and you would love to see somebody like Whitney Houston never exist if you can have it your way……bitchhh f*** you
I still think that this is a horrible idea. Also I feel like the family should find someone else to handle the estate because Pat just gives me bad vibes.
How does a sister in law become president of an estate of someone she is not related to by blood??? Wtf. Stop purchasing the tickets and bankrupt the estate. Only direct family members who were close to Whitney should ever benefit from her estate. What kind of sickos go to watch a hologram tour of a dead person anyway.
Pat refuses to get a job…
Pat Houston is trash. Period.
It’s a no for me, but I will always ❤ me some Ms Whitney!
Pat is not to be trusted. Shame on any fan or curious person who buys or accepts a ticket.
Terrible and disgusting idea.
I bet it will be a HUGE FLOP.
I just…??♂️??♂️??♂️
Girl who wants this? I’m not going to a concert to look at a digital remastering of an artist. Someone get her out of here.
I’m disappointed Fatima would take such a gig but I guess homegirl got bills to pay like the rest of us so she don’t care
I didn’t even get that far in the article to see that. I met Fatima once at an audition and she seemed really nice, down to earth, and approachable. Having worked with MJ and Aaliyah, I would think that Fatima would have more respect for the dead. My opinion of her has now changed.
Disgusting, let Whitney Rest In Peace.
Stop trying to make money off her legacy
no. STOP.
Is this a joke ? Who would actually pay for that ?
What kind of miley cyrus black mirror s*** is this
Y’all m************ on here a bunch of haters that’s mad that Whitney Houston still can generate money
Michael Jackson does it……
Now Y’all know those hips are way to wide to be Whitney…she was thin as a rail most of her career with stick legs…..this is no shade, cause I loved me some Whitney Houston…just saying, it looks like a body double with Nippy’s face posted on it.
