The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show
South Shields Customs House
Wednesday 27th
September 2017
Whitney Houston
fans can get a taste of what to expect from a leading tribute act when she
appears on television this weekend.
Belinda Davids
performs as the iconic singer in The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston
Show, which comes to The Customs House, in South Shields, on Wednesday,
September 27.
But first, she will
be taking to the stage in BBC One’s new entertainment
show, Even Better Than The Real Thing, at 7pm on Saturday,
September 16.
The
60-minute special, fronted by Paddy McGuinness, celebrates the biggest names in pop music by bringing together the
world’s top tribute artists for a glamorous night of performing and competing.
South
African songstress Davids beat more than 15,000 hopefuls to take the lead role
in The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show in 2013.
It
was her own love of Houston
that prepared her for the part, having been exposed to mainly R&B and
gospel music as a child.
Singing professionally from her early teens, Houston songs became a
fixture in Davids’ live shows. She said: “I think I’ve sung at least one Houston track in almost
every live show I’ve ever performed.”
The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show has gone
from strength to strength since its inception in 2013, boasting sell-out shows
in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Europe, as well as the UK.
The two-hour spectacular is an uplifting tribute to the
music and memory of Houston, featuring 20 tracks spanning her full career,
including I Will Always Love You, Greatest Love of All, I Wanna Dance With
Somebody, I Have Nothing and I’m Every Woman.
A seven-piece band, choreographed dancers, replica costuming
and state-of-the-art lighting and effects combine to create a spectacular
concert experience.
Davids said: “I want people to come and remember Whitney
when she was at the top of her game and when she was fabulous.”
Other acts appearing on Even Better Than The Real Thing
include tributes to George Michael, Little Mix,
Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars, Adele, Katy Perry, Michael Jackson, Ed Sheeran and
Amy Winehouse.
At
the end of the show, the live studio audience will vote for their favourite
performer.
The
one off special will also create unique and surprising duets, as the tribute
artists deliver never-before-seen collaborations.
Paddy
McGuinness says: “This show is a belter! A talent show that’s only about the
talent - with the best tribute acts from around the world singing their hearts
out."
