The incomparable Whitney Houston, the comeback queen, officially kicked off her world tour in Moscow at the Olympic Stadium on December 9th. The diva's performance albeit, not perfect, showed glimpses of brilliance from her past. The flaws in the performance, however, are not cringeworthy. They are more or less beautiful reminders of the struggle she has endured as well as indicators of continued vocal improvement as Ms. Houston continues to reclaim her chops. Check out clips from the concert after the jump including a very touching and celebratory tribute to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. If you still think Whitney's voice is gone after listening to these clips please do yourself a favor and have someone purchase you a hearing aid for Christmas.
