BREAKING!!! Whitney Houston Back on Tour!!

So creepy!

revolting

No, OP, we are not going.

Let poor old junkie Whitney RIP with her daughter and her daughter's sleazy, murderous bf. With any luck her ex-husband will soon join them in the afterlife (or in the non-afterlife).

It is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Her family didn't get enough money off of her when she was alive?

Millions of necrophiliacs can't be wrong.

I saw her twice in concert during the 80s when she was alive. Nothing is going to beat that.

I thought when Bobbi Christina's boyfriend died from a heroin overdose, the book on this nonsense would finally be closed.

Was this Janet Jackson's idea?

I think it's kinda creepy. What type of people are going to fork over good money to see...what? A 3D video? Can't wait for the reviews.

What would be really funny is if they spend millions on the latest technology and it REALLY did look and sound like her, only it was Whitney during her last year, late, irritable, and with cracky voice that couldn't hit any of the right notes.

Why stop at Whitney? How about bringing Michael Jackson,Marvin Gaye, Prince, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Kurt Cobain. Holograms tour 2020. Sponsored by Tesla and Apple.

Pat Houston is a vile, money-grubbing cunt. The Houstons will never stop taking advantage of Whitney's legacy - and will continue to destroy it.

Sick.

You could just watch her videos on YouTube. No need to pay for this shitshow.

At least her hologram can’t smoke crack

Why do they keep calling these projected videos "holograms"?

Maybe her ghoulish Aunt Dionne could be the opening act.

Will the hologram tell us crack is whack?

R16 Show me the cash money, and I'll do anything, hussy!

I shall watch it from my bathtub.

Will her hologram dance better than she could?

[quote]I shall watch it from my bathtub.

That’s a bad idea.

Will they fund a better grave?

Will crackogram Bobbi Kristina be part of the act? They should do a cover of the Peaches and Herb song...”Reunited and it feels so HOOD!”

"Whitney" performs in the studio after an interview with the radiant and adroit Pat Houston. Pat's hair and forehead looking sensational as usual.

They should get real life Dionne to open for hologram Whitney.

When Dionne goes we need a hologram of her during her later years too: sitting on a stool wearing sweatpants and golf visor and occasionally berating audience members for being late.

Can they create one for Madge then she can just retire since she can’t perform anymore and is canceling left and right?

Will the hologram also sweat so profusely she has to perform with a rag in hand?

[quote]How about bringing Michael Jackson,Marvin Gaye, Prince, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Kurt Cobain?

The Late Show

Maybe we can do a double-bill. Two holograms for the price of one.

It was developed on Windows 95

Mizz Wendy chimes in.

Her story told already in Whitney: The Musical.

r11: after years of silence since Whitney's death THIS is the best Pat could do? How about mining the back catalog, reissuing all of the albums, a box set, ANYTHING but this stupid attempt at a cash grab. I hope her hologram crashes and burns.

I want drug addled Whitney hologram, but I've always loved a musical comedy.

So stupid - the wretched sister-in-law will stop at nothing for money

Didn't care for the bitch when she was alive. I can't think that death will have improved her kitschy songs.

I wonder what's the latest year they're using for material.

2000? 2004?

What do you think?

[quote] What would be really funny is if they spend millions on the latest technology and it REALLY did look and sound like her, only it was Whitney during her last year, late, irritable, and with cracky voice that couldn't hit any of the right notes.

Ha!

Dionne doesn't like this.

Only because she's not making money from it though.

Horrifying! I can't imagine who connected with Whitney's estate thought this was a good idea.

As always, Homer said it best:

r4 They made at least 10 million this year from that hit song with KYGO. Her family is evil.

r3 Please, kill yourself and video tape it.

Fuck every evil faggot in this thread.

Can't believe her mother is allowing this. What trash. The whole family is trash.

Did anyone notify Miss Warwick?

I thought she'd been working Nippy's hologram for some time now!

r47 Cissy has advanced dementia. She can’t allow or disallow anything.

Ghoulish.

If Whitney were alive she would be appalled. But then again, she left Pat in charge.

They did it with 2Pac back in 2012.

[Quote] How about mining the back catalog, reissuing all of the albums, a box set, ANYTHING but this stupid attempt at a cash grab.

They tried but sales were poor. The debut album is going to be re-released again on vinyl soon.

[Quote] first overseas and then later across North America.

Why do they always use overseas as the guinea pigs. It's not like any bad publicity/reactions won't instantly reach the US.

I'd go if, instead of singing it was all Whitney's best bits from "Being Bobby Brown."

The “Michael Jackson: One” show by Cirque in Vegas has also done it. Don’t know that I’d want to watch hours/full show....but if you never saw them in life it’s as close as you’ll get.

[quote] How about mining the back catalog, reissuing all of the albums, a box set, ANYTHING but this stupid attempt at a cash grab. I hope her hologram crashes and burns.

LOL. You do realize that Whitney's estate doesn't OWN any of the famous songs she sang? They are all owned by Whitney's greedy record producer who gets all the money from mining the back catalog. All the estate would get is money from the hologram tour of the hologram performing and even then the estate has to give a cut to Clive Davis. Whitney's estate relies on being on good terms with Davis, because he doesn't have to give them anything at all.

[Quote] They are all owned by Whitney's greedy record producer who gets all the money from mining the back catalog.

As if an artist's recordings being owned by the record company that paid for them to me made is particular to Whitney Houston or Clive Davis...

*to be made

Is the holagram gonna smoke crack as well?

More and more artists are getting optically scanned so their estates can make more $$ after artists ares dead. It's kinda creepy.

I Know people say Whitney wouldn’t want this (and of course Cissy wouldn’t) but I do wonder when I think about it if she really would be against it. This is clearly the way of the future, every artist will be immortalized this way, Whitney is just at the forefront of it. The young generation today doesn’t even care about good music or know how to recognize good music or a good voice. The artists who’ve been legendary over the last 50 years will soon be forgotten..young people simply don’t care (ask Madge). And let’s be honest, the Whitney of the 80s and 90s who had pride in herself and used to say she could never sing live if she wasn’t giving the very best was long gone by 2010 when she did that awful tour. If she was down with putting on that show, she probably would be down with a hologram if it keeps her memory alive and if the money generated was being put to good use like going to charity or to her daughter (who’s sadly deceased).

How much this cost?

Agree that Pat Houston is vile. What doesn’t get enough play is how horrible her brothers are. In the Whitney doc, they were so awful about Robin; predictably homophobic and right there with Cissy and the religious based bigotry. That family is disgusting. Whitney never stood a chance.

I was watching some of the reality show stuff on Youtube. She had an awesome voice and she could be dressed up really well but what struck me in the tape was how graceless she was off duty... sort of crude and sloppy... how you'd expect the Kardashians to be (admit I've never seen the show.) Maybe she was already on the drugs then, don't know. But I expected more refinement than was there. I didn't realize what a product she was.

She was a lesbian.

I wonder if they make her her natural skin tone or if they lighten her up more? You know if it was a Michael he’d be full on albino.

How much are they charging for a ticket?

I'll wait for the Al Jolson hologram tour.

[quote] I Know people say Whitney wouldn’t want this (and of course Cissy wouldn’t) but I do wonder when I think about it if she really would be against it.

Well, duh! Whitney ruined her voice with drugs. Of course, she'd agreed to have some hologram perform instead of her and rake in the money to finance her drug habit.

I bet a Britney Spears hologram is next. Her parents are greedy enough to get their hands on anything that can make them some cash and the actual Britney isn't into performing for over a decade now.

R31 please don't remind me of miley. Everytime I see her I will think of this

Lol, r72!! Wtf

[quote]I Know people say Whitney wouldn’t want this (and of course Cissy wouldn’t) but I do wonder when I think about it if she really would be against it.

She’s be all for it, if it allowed her to finance some crack.

I'll be in the front row with an Ouija board.

Ouija board? Amateur. Just call the hotline.

That hologram doesn’t even look like her?!

She doesn’t even go here!

Well, if it was to look like Whitney the wig would need to be askew, she'd need to be soaked in sweat, and trying to dance awkwardly in place.

[quote] I wonder if they make her her natural skin tone or if they lighten her up more? You know if it was a Michael he’d be full on albino.

The hologram that was on the UK morning show appears to have a lighter skin tone than Whitney. The whole thing is appalling.

[quote] I bet a Britney Spears hologram is next. Her parents are greedy enough to get their hands on anything that can make them some cash and the actual Britney isn't into performing for over a decade now.

Britney, JLo and Madonna are great candidates for this. Non-singing performers whose shows are all spectacle are better-suited for a hologram tour. It is a terrible idea for a dynamic vocalist who sang live and did not put forth spectacle in her shows.

Don’t forget Janet.

This was designed with Mariah in mind.

Debra Wilson could do Whitney. Is she busy?

R65 She was from Newark...

A lesbian from Newark.
