Everyone Hates The Whitney Houston Hologram
It’s not right and it’s not okay. Footage of the Whitney Houston hologram duetting with Christina Aguilera on next week’s episode of The Voice surfaced online this afternoon and Twitter was not impressed. “No seriously, WHO IS THIS?” demanded one fan. “I know this Keri Hilson ass hologram ain’t post to be Whitney Houston?” tweeted another. The general consensus appears to be that the computer animation looks nothing like the pop superstar.
As for the performance itself, faux Whitney and Christina belted out “I Have Nothing” and “I’m Every Woman.” The idea of the big-lunged divas trading vocal blows is tantalizing in theory, but this was utterly cringeworthy on every level. To make matters worse, the hologram will kick off a tour later this year according to the late singer’s estate. “It’s a great opportunity for her fans to see a reinvention of one the most celebrated female artists in history and to continue a legacy of performances that will not be forgotten in years to come,” Pat Houston declared. Nope.

They said, "I have a vision. Whitney's voice, Galdys Knight's face, and a milly rock to appeal to the kids." https://t.co/4lhUtfGlSk

That wasnt even a hologram.
It was a dollar store Whitney Houston lookalike who ripped off a 90's look and prerecorded vocals on a screen..

How do you in good conscience fabricate a Whitney Dallas hologram and parade it around like it's Whitney Houston's dying wish?

The Whitney hologram kinda looks like Mavis Beacon going out to a nightclub in the 90's
