    Houstoncontinued to explain problems with her voice. "Sometimes the old girl sings,but not tonight," she added. "I want to do it, but she doesn't want to. ... She'sgetting a little ... temperamental, even."

    Unfortunately, Houston's vocal issues were also noted whenshe performed on GoodMorning America last September, and when she began her Australiantour in February.
