The singer arrived escorted by David, her loyal shieldbearer for six years, who didn't stop her from embracing her fans.

Whitney Houston (30) arrived without Kevin Costner, but didn't step on the brazilian ground to disappoint. Preserving from the glamour of the artist from The Bodyguard, movie that impelled even more her career, the owner of the most acute voice from the Hollywood Rock came to Brazil accompanied by her loyal shieldbearer, the bodyguard David Jones (45). Tall, thin delineated cutlets, mustache, he's been for six years Whitney's shadow. "It's very easy to work with someone like her. Whitney Houston is sweet and meek." Her real-life's Kevin Costner traces his protected's ways without showing the same charm and sensuality from the american actor. He's not truculent. He prefers intelligence rather than strength. Their relationship is close, but not so close. She's crazy about her husband, Bobby Brown and her little daughter Bobbi, 8 months old, who stayed in New York. A strong toothache delayed the diva's arrival at São Paulo. Exhausted, she spent the Sunday confined at the Maksoud Plaza Hotel's room, but got out to give some autographs. She ate fruits, required pulp-free juices and tasted a chicken broth. Redone, she put her sweet voice out at Morumbi: "I love you", she kept saying to a delirious 30.000 people audience.

Love song's diva, she went out to meet the legion of fans at Maksoud's front door. Good on stage, she transformed Morumbi into a bee-hive. With syrupy ballads, the queen bee repeated to the heavy metal audience "I love you" and the long-haired melt. The bodyguard David Jones followed each step of the boss, but only professionally, differently from the impassioned bodyguard from the movie, played by the seducing Kevin Costner.
