Belinda Davids: "The Greatest Love of All" at the MAC Feb. 4

Ten years after the untimely passing of one of America’s most beloved pop stars, the McAninch Arts Center presents “The Greatest Love of All: A Tribute to Whitney Houston Starring Belinda Davids” 7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 4. Davids will be backed up by a cast of international musicians, backing vocalists and dancers for a must-see full-scale concert event.

“The Greatest Love of All” features state-of-the-art sound, custom-designed lighting, LED walls, theatrical effects and a feast of exquisite hand-crafted gowns and costumes. But it is voice of South African singer Davids, who “went viral” after performing a stunning rendition of “I Will Always Love of You” on FOX’s Showtime at the Apollo in 2017, that is the star of this performance.

Houston’s most memorable songs get Davids’ spot-on treatment, including pop hits “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” “How Will I Know” and “I’m Every Woman.” The concert also features songs from Houston’s movie career such as “Exhale” (Shoop Shoop) from “Waiting to Exhale,” and both “Queen of the Night” and the Grammy Award-winning “I Will Always Love You” from “The Bodyguard.” And, of course the concert would not be complete without Houston’s iconic and timeless ballads including “I Have Nothing,” “Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” “Run to You” and “One Moment in Time.”

Says Davids, “U.S. audiences are amazing. They truly appreciate Whitney’s legacy and her music is very personal to them. You can feel that from the stage. To look out and see people feeling every note and nuance and emotion that you sing is so intimate – that’s what it’s all about.”

“The Greatest Love of All: A Tribute to Whitney Houston Starring Belinda Davids” comes to the McAninch Arts Center, located at 425 Fawell Blvd. on the campus of College of DuPage, 7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 4.
