Is the bar really that low, Whitney? According to a local review, her concert in Zurich wasn’t the hot mess that many had feared. The German — with English translation — is provided below:

She gasps for air. Schwitzt, muss sich pudern und schon nach gut dreissig Minuten muss sie eine längere Pause machen. Sweats, powder must be good and after thirty minutes they must make a longer pause. Aber vor allem: Die ganz grosse Strahlkraft ist vorbei. But above all, the very large beam power is over. Wo früher nach der Steigerung noch eine weitere Steigerung folgte, kommt nichts mehr. Where once even after the increase was followed by a further increase comes, nothing more. Das Publikum will eine Whitney Houston schmettern hören. The audience wants to hear a Whitney Houston belting. Doch dem weicht sie aus. But she is evasive. So geraten Songs wie «Greatest Love Of All» und «I Will Always Love You» zu Zitterpartien für Publikum und Star. So out songs like “Greatest Love Of All” and “I Will Always Love You” to dither games for the audience and star. Schafft sie die Höhe? Does it amount to? Oder fast? Or almost? Oder gar nicht? Or not? Man hätte Whitney nach ihrem langen Leiden ein grosses Comeback so sehr gegönnt. Whitney had one after their long suffering a big comeback Sun indulged much. Doch ihre Stimme hat einfach zu sehr gelitten. But her voice has just suffered too much. Das Konzert in Zürich ist nicht zum Desaster geworden wie an anderen Orten. The concert in Zurich has not become a disaster like in other places. Doch Whitney Houston ist definitiv eine andere geworden. But Whitney Houston has definitely become one another.

Meanwhile, former hubby Bobby is headed down the aisle again, says E! Network.

In a showstopping move, the 41-year-old singer popped the question to girlfriend Alicia Etheridge Friday during a performance at Metro Park’s Funk Fest in Jacksonville, Fla., according to the Florida-Times Union.

As Etheridge walked on stage with the couple’s 11-month-old son Cassius, Brown got down on one knee and proposed with ring in hand.
