Woman’s non-stop singing of Whitney Houston song gets her kicked-off plane

A passenger on a flight to New York City on Thursday had a captive audience for her bold musical performance.

She failed to win over the crowd.

Blame her choice of song but the woman's disruptive behaviour and belting of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You, most recently sung by Whitney Houston, resulted in an emergency landing in Kansas City, according to KCTV.

It's official, Houston's '90s hit can take down a plane. At least, the out-of-tune karaoke version captured in a video from the Los Angeles to New York flight was enough for an air marshal to handcuff the woman and remove her from the aircraft, according to the story.

KCTV reported the plane continued its journey from Kansas City without the impromptu live performer. She was later released without charges but without permission to board another American Airlines flight, according to the story.

Hopefully passengers weren't too disappointed at having to settle for entertainment of the recorded variety, broadcast on those tiny seat-back televisions.

Bizarre flight disruptions have made the headlines before, such as a case in February when an entire family on a flight from Halifax to the Dominican Republic grounded a plane overnight because they were smoking in the bathroom, according to the CBC.

A Sunwing spokesperson told the media the incident was costly because the airline had to pay for 170 passengers to stay in hotel rooms after an emergency landing in Bermuda to inspect the aircraft.

The family was only about a couple of decades behind on rules against smoking on planes, a spokesperson told the CBC at the time.

Hey, if this was 1993, maybe our Whitney Houston fan would have become a star. Anyone?
