Whitney furious after dress malfunction

Vocal powerhouse Whitney Houston “had steam coming out of her ears” after her dress broke during her performance on The X Factor.

Whitney Houston was furious after her performance on this weekend's X Factor, the Daily Mirror reports. Insiders say Whitney was livid after her dress broke during her performance of new single, Million Dollar Bill and furious that Simon Cowell had chosen one of her new songs, I Didn't Know My Own Strength, for Danyl Johnson to sing - before she'd had a chance to perform it live herself. "She had steam coming out of her ears. One of her massive entourage covered her up in these enormous towels and took her away. It was odd, as though she couldn't bear to be seen in the dress anymore," a source claimed before discussing her conversation with Cowell. "You'd never guess that anyone could leave Simon speechless - he usually has contestants quivering in their boots. But he got a taste of his own medicine with Whitney."
