What's come over the funloving, openminded Australians? Whitney Houston has come back for a concert in Brisbane on 24th February - and according to CBS, fans and audiences were disappointed, and bashed her performance completely. Paradoxical News wasn't there, but it got the editor-in-chief thinking: How cruel do you have to be to a woman, who has had a very rough couple of years and undergone so many adversities that most people never experience themselves? At least she has made the effort - how ever incomplete it may have been - to make a comeback. Doesn't that count for something? A little empathy, perhaps?
When I'm so surprised of the rough reactions to her concert, it comes from my knowledge of the Australians. I have come to know many during my travels all over Australia - and I even spent the most hilarious Y2K celebration there - and was among the first to see the turn of the century surrounded by fun, cheering, and open Australians.
Whether in Brisbane, Cairns, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Tasmania, Uluru, Alice Springs, Darwin, Perth, Monkey Mia, Albany, Kalgoorlie, or so many other places during my trips (hello again!) - I've met nothing but fun and open Australians. Always there to greet you, and to stretch out a helping hand. I'm just so surprised that at least the audience didn't consider that this performer has struggled to come back. All that is needed is a little empathy to get everything right again. It just doesn't get easier with a bashing from the get-go. Give Whitney Houston a tap on her shoulder - Good on Ya, mate! And she will prevail.
