Whitney Houston's stunning London performance

Whitney Houston stunned her critics last night by delivering a spectacular performance in aid of the Caudwell Children charity.

Dressed to kill, Whitney wore Chopard diamond earrings and a diamond ring from the luxury jewellers AND was paid £100,000.

But the real surprise came when the diva brought daughter, Bobbi Kristina, 15, on stage to join her for a rendition of My Love is Your Love.

Bobbi was recently said to be in a psychiatric ward after allegedly trying to stab her mother and then commit suicide.

But Whitney told the crowd, which included Joan Collins and Buzz Aldrin: "This is the love of my life."

Despite attempts to keep media out, theBuzz sneaked a peek at Whitney’s one hour set at Battersea Evolution.

Donning a tight dress by British designers Bodyamr, Whitney, 44, performed several hits including I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Saving All My Love and, of course, I Will Always Love You.

Whitney, whose career was halted by drug abuse and who in 2006 ended a turbulent relationship with Bobby Brown, told the audience: "I’m back in the studio and working on new tracks.

"It’s an honour to be here. I’ve had ups and downs, but it’s all good." Sandi Thom, an opening act for the American star, confided in theBuzz: "This is probably the most nerve-racking moment of my life."

The event raised £1.5m and a dinner date with Joan Collins was auctioned off for £200,000.

Whitney is the best! She always proves everyone wrong whenever they have doubts on her. Go girl!

I wonder what her voice sounds like these days. That 'comeback gig' in Asia sounded pretty rough...

I just hope it was live and not Memorex. Only because the media said her Tobago performance was very mediocre. Good but mediocre, and the one thing about Nippy is once you are at the top vocally, anything less you deliver will be criticized. Still looking for audio/video, but given that this was a charity event, I don't expect any of the celebrities who bought tickets to have whipped out a cell phone to record for Youtube LOL.
