Whitney Houston

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

In our world of private Los Angeles Tours we get a lot of questions about Whitney Houston! What is she working on? Has she retired?  Rumors of a “comeback” have been circulating for some time now.  It was such a pleasure to see her perform today in Central Park on GMA ( Good Morning America ) as they reminded America that Whitney has “140 million albums sold,  and more awards than any other female performer in history.”

“I love you New York,” she announced at end of the song. “I love you Good Morning America. God bless you all. Thank you for coming, you’re making me feel so good.”

All of us are hoping she will make an inspiring guest appearance on America’s Got Talent!  We are so glad you are “back” Whitney!
