Belinda Davids - The Greatest Love Of All - Tribute To Whitney Houston

Belinda Davids brings The Greatest Love of All to Lyon

From our vantage point in Lyon, we are delighted to welcome Belinda Davids and her internationally acclaimed production The Greatest Love of All. Audiences here appreciate vocal authenticity and emotional truth, and Davids arrives at precisely that intersection. Her reputation has grown through standout television moments, including a winning turn on Showtime at the Apollo and a show-stopping run on Britain’s Got Talent, where her interpretation of Whitney Houston’s repertoire introduced her to new generations. This season, the production returns with refreshed arrangements and a sharpened visual language that amplifies the intimacy of the ballads and the euphoria of the uptempo numbers. As hosts, we’re preparing a setting that lets her command of dynamics shine—crystalline quiets, athletic belts, and the soulful phrasing that has made this tribute a global favorite. The evening is designed for both lifelong fans and first-time listeners who want to experience a living, breathing celebration of a voice that defined an era.

Inside the experience: voice, band, and timeless songs

What distinguishes this show, especially on our Lyon stage, is the total craft behind it: a seasoned band, powerhouse backing vocalists, and arrangements that honor the originals while giving Davids space to interpret. Expect the shimmering pulse of How Will I Know and the joyous release of I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me), matched by the luxuriant slow-burn of Run to You and the dramatic ascent of I Have Nothing. When she reaches for the soaring lines in One Moment in Time or the heart-rending clarity of I Will Always Love You, the room collectively holds its breath. The production leans into live musicianship—rich keys, expressive guitar, and brass punctuation—so that the rhythmic punch of I’m Every Woman lands with dance-floor energy, while the hushed intimacy of Saving All My Love for You allows every lyric to bloom. With cinematic lighting cues and thoughtfully paced medleys, the set is built as an emotional arc, culminating in the title song, Greatest Love of All, which invites a full-house singalong and leaves a warmth lingering long after the final chord.

As a venue team, we value shows that feel personal no matter where you sit, and this performance is curated with that intention. Davids’s current tour leg has refined the pacing for European audiences, introducing subtle shifts in tempo, extended codas for audience call-and-response, and striking wardrobe transitions that mirror each era of the catalogue. The opening sequence ushers you straight into the late-80s sparkle before gliding into early-90s balladry, and the band’s transitions are as crisp as the vocals are fearless. We’ve tailored the sonic profile to keep the vocal front and center, making the velvet low notes and jet-engine high notes equally present. Expect moments of storytelling that illuminate why certain songs—Queen of the Night, Where Do Broken Hearts Go, My Love Is Your Love—continue to resonate across generations in Lyon and beyond. The result is a sophisticated, joy-filled evening that reveres a legacy while asserting its own live-wire thrill; it’s the kind of night our city lives for, and one that rewards early booking given the strong demand we’ve already seen from devoted fans and curious newcomers alike.
