Crack is Whack

Here's Whitney singing at the Olympic games in Torino.
Click here for audio of the performance. Apparently, her voice left something to be desired... and that outfit grrl??!?! I think I saw a vest from the GAP once that had nicer fur.

"The Queen is back," was how Whitney was apparently introduced by the Italian host, but according to Tu, it was "a tragic event from the moment she stepped onto the outdoor stage." First off, there was the outfit: Even though there were reports that the diva would be wearing a Russian fur for her anticipated Olympic one-off, it looked to our eyewitness as more "faux synthetic" than "pelle lux." And with it, she had on a cream turtleneck and ill-fitting white nylon pants.

"Don't you just hate it when apres-ski whites don't match?"
So, about the singing. Starting off with Greatest Love of All, Whitney "coughed, sniffled and talked her way through the song." She motioned a cough attack and, struggling, asked the audience, "Why did they choose to do this outdoors? I don't sing in the cold. It makes my voice funny," and then made the international hand-gesture for "crazy."

She came in costume. She's dressed as a giant crack rock.
