Working her comeback into the music scene proves challenging for Whitney Houston when she suffered minor wardrobe malfunction during a performance in U.K. television show "The X-Factor" on Sunday, October 18. The diva was singing the Swizz Beatz-produced track "Million Dollar Bill" when the incident happened, but she managed to continue singing the song until the end.
Whitney appeared before a cheering crowd, donning a sparkling silver dress with straps in the back. Halfway through the song, the straps suddenly became untied. Instead of cutting short her performance due to the mishap, Whitney opted to complete her gig. Fortunately, the front half of her dress managed to stay intact throughout the whole performance.
After wrapping up the song, she laughed off the wardrobe malfunction, telling "The X-Factor" host Dermot O'Leary, "I sang myself out of my clothes!"
Whitney Houston's performance in "The X-Factor" marks her first U.K. performance in more than 12 years. Her song "Million Dollar Bill" samples Loleatta Holloway's 1976 single "We're Getting Stronger" and is listed in her album "I Look to You", which has been released since late August.
