 Whitney
Houston proved she's back on top of her game
when she performed at the World Music Awards.
Curvy and flushed with colour, Whitney belted
out her hits to an appreciative crowd.
When the singer - who admits to having used
cocaine in the past - made an appearance at
Michael Jackson's 2002 concert, her stick-thin,
gaunt appearance triggered gasps from the crowd.
And when she failed to show up for another
concert three days later, the rumour flew about
that she was dead.
Now she's cleaned up her act, she's reuniting
with producer Clive Davis, who discovered her,
to begin work on her seventh album.
For the first time, the world music awards show
was broadcast from the United States, after
previously being held in Monaco.
Jennifer Lopez took a back seat to new husband
Marc Anthony, watching proudly from the audience
as he performed.
And Usher proved he's the world's best male
singer, winning three awards - and taking the
opportunity to chat up Pamela Anderson.
"So, Pamela, I don't mean to start any
rumours, but I'm single," Usher joked as
the Baywatch babe presented him with his first
award.
