Whitney Houston's big comeback performance on "Good Morning America" Tuesday didn't go off as well as she hoped, with her voice cracking several times during a three-song gig, says the New York Daily News.
The singer, whose new album "I Look To You" came out Tuesday, apologized to the 5,000-person crowd in New York City's Central Park crowd for overextending her voice before taking the stage.
"I'm so sorry. I did 'Oprah,"' Houston said. "I've been talking for so long. ... I talked so much, my voice ... . I shouldn't be talking. I should be singing."
The Daily News says fans, who came from as far away as Australia and arrived in line as early as 10 p.m. Monday, had mixed reactions.
"I expected (the performance) to be longer. She couldn't sing. She was really damaged," said Joao Andrade, 28, of North Bergen, N.J. "I'm a little disappointed. I think she was brave to come out with no voice."
But many were wildly supportive of Houston, who's attempting a comeback after years of letting her messy personal life — alleged drug addiction and troubled marriage to Bobby Brown — overshadow her career.
"It brought tears to my eyes," said Raleigh Hatcher, 38, of Jersey City. "She's been through so much in her life. She's been working very hard, and it's a lot to do. And she's been doing it well."
