A Whitney Houston tribute show, The Greatest Love of All, comes to Palmerston North on June 10.
Belinda Davids is Houston. Davids has starred in TV shows Showtime at the Apollo, Britain’s Got Talent and Even Better Than the Real Thing where she was crowned winner.
She progressed to the semi-finals of the 2020 edition of Britain’s Got Talent. Her performance of I Have Nothing was described as “utterly spellbinding” by judge Amanda Holden, and “absolutely electric” by judge David Walliams.
Davids started life in the small coastal town of Port Elizabeth in South Africa, where her musical family of seven children spent much of its time in church, singing and surrounded by gospel music.
She sang Houston’s music at every chance: at family gatherings, talent competitions and to friends while playing on the street.
