Belinda is the greatest of all

The concert currently showing at the Joburg Theatre is not to be missed if you love Whitney Houston’s music and need an excuse to jive.

The Greatest Love of All – A tribute to Whitney Houston is an extraordinary show dedicated to the much-loved artist.

South Africa’s own Belinda Davids embodies the late star in a spine-tingling performance that has you not quite believing you aren’t, in fact, in an intimate concert with Houston herself.

The theater was buzzing with guests dressed up to the nines channelling the eternally glamorous late star with some having a delicious meal at the restaurant before the night’s entertainment.

Davids sings all the greatest hits with the accompaniment of a live band and two backup singers, Xae and Yahto Kraft, who are in their own right, accomplished performers.\

Belinda Davids’ ability to perform as if Whitney Houston herself was on stage is uncanny.

The trio’s individual local and international accolades are too numerous to mention, and after hearing them perform, it is clear they deserve every single one.

If you are looking for something to do where you can sit back and enjoy the music or jump out of your seat to sing and dance along to songs all too familiar, then this is the event for you.
