Whitney Houston won't stop smoking and her concert promoter is blaming the problem on her recent performances in Australia, where fans complained about her singing.

Promoter Andrew McManus said: "Whitney smokes. God bless her, I can't tell her not to. She will not take any substances. She just will not. It is what it is. She's comfortable with the show she's performing. She knows she's not hitting every note like she used to. But it's value for money; it's Whitney Houston, warts and all."

"I talked to her after the Sydney show. I told her I have her back, but she said, 'If the good Lord wants me to be attacked and ridiculed, that's the road I have to go down'. It's an interesting approach. Here I am being aggressive in trying to protect her and she said, 'I love you for it, but let it go. I can only give my best. If that's not good enough, then so be it. I'm comfortable in my own skin'."
