Houston, Warwick wow fans

Published on Jul 17, 2004


The talk of the town over the past few days has been the impromptu duet between two legendary divas – Whitney Houston and her cousin Dionne Warwick – at the Dusit Thani Hotel’s Napalai Ballroom on Wednesday night.

To the surprise of enraptured concert-goers, who each doled out Bht6,000 for the DaimlerChrysler charity dinner concert for Aids, Houston became a welcome bonus.

Dressed in black pants and lace chiffon top, Houston took the stage, and was warmly welcomed by Warwick, dressed in a coral-pink pantsuit. Together they belted out a powerful rendition of “That’s What Friends Are Forâ€￾ in an evening that will long be remembered.

Houston and Warwick performed a duet in Germany prior to the Bangkok event. But they never imagine they would be staying in the same hotel during their Bangkok visit.

Our grapevine also tells us that Houston’s notorious husband Bobbie Brown may join his wife in Bangkok for her Monday concert.

The Dusit Thani Hotel has been the place to go celebrity-watching lately. Besides Houston and her entourage of big, burly bodyguards, Warwick and Richard Clayderman also stayed at the hotel, which was remaining tight-lipped about its star clients.

But after a bit of sleuthing, we did find out that air-conditioning is something Houston can live without. The superstar has requested that the air-conditioner in her room be turned off during her stay, apparently so she can become acclimatised to Bangkok’s weather. Electric fans have been delivered to the room just in case the heat became too much for the diva to bear.

And if you’re a Houston fan don’t send flowers – she won’t have them in her room as well.

We’re told Houston only drinks Vitelle spring water, so lots of that has been in stock at the Dusit Thani Hall for her daily rehearsal.
