Whitney Houston attempted a comeback, but quickly fell off again after fans gave thumbs down to her voice. On top of that, her vices caught back hold of her, facilitating a return to rehab.

But it isn’t just the fans who have dismissed the former golden voiced diva. Clive Davis, the legendary music impresario, shared his thoughts about the singer on LA radio station KOST 103.5′s morning show. He flat out said he would never get back on the bandwagon with Whitney unless her graceful voice returned.

“Whitney has admitted that she’s had to conquer a drug addiction. That takes all of her energy. She also has had a very difficult time giving up cigarettes. In comparison, it sounds slight. But if you do have a cigarette problem in this instance, you can’t give it up. It is taking all of her energy. I know that she’s committed to do it. I know that she loves music. Right now she’s dealing with that situation and we’re not going to make another record or an album until that golden voice is there and is fully capable to knock everyone out”
