Why does it hurt so bad

Fresh out of rehab, six-time Grammy award winner Whitney Houston is to perform in Beijing on July 25 at the National Olympic Center. The concert will be the second of her China tour, which starts in Shanghai on the 22nd and winds up in Hong Kong on the 28th.

Houston is best known in China for her hit of a decade ago, I Will Always Love You, from the soundtrack to Bodyguard, but audiences will have the opportunity to hear every single one of the 40-year-old singer's classics.

Cashing in on a China tour seems to be a trend for stars whose international popularity is on the wane. David Copperfeld, Kenny G and Richard Clayderman come to mind. And following Houston, there are rumors of visits by Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys this autumn, which in this context can only be good news.

Following the disappointing two shows in Shanghai last November by Mariah Carey, Beijingers might well consider a ticket to this concert a risky investment, but for those who would rank singing along to the Greatest Love of All as more fun than karaoke, it may be worth a shot.

Ticket: 1600 (VIP); 1200, 1000, 800 (seats in the arena); 580, 480, 380, 280, 180 (seats on the stand)
