    I don’t think I’ve ever seen Whitney look SO good. #Damn Puts women half her age to shame.

  17. @MIKE February 13, 2011

    She puts all the Beyonces, Rihannas, Mariahs and Britneys to shame. especially if you consider what she has been through. She’s truly an inspiration.

  23. omgomgomg February 13, 2011

    omgomgomgomg!!!! WHITNEY HOUSTON???? DID I MISS ANYTHING!!! FOOTAGE PLEASE!!

  24. JohnVidal February 13, 2011

    Whitney girl you look fabulous!!! She has always been the most elegant and classy among the singers. Past singers and present singers.
    Dead at she looking almost better than Beyonce at 47 and after what her body went through… amazing. I´m so happy just to she her like this. If only she could have saved a little bit more of her precrack voice it would be perfect
    Seeing this one gets excited thinking the music for the masses could be great again. Hell, what is Rihanna Beiber and those kids doing at the grammys and not Whitney for example? Even with her current voice she is still better by far, only with her stage presence she slays those puppets
    At least we´ll see some talent with Bruno Mars and the Aretha tribute…I hope!

  25. Leo February 13, 2011

    MARY J. BLIGE looks gorgeous & powerful. She’s the epitome of style.

    R Kelly sang When A Woman Loves. I know he killed it becuz he did that during the promo performances during his album release. Just check any performance on youtube.

    Clive sure knows how to pack them in. Whitney and Kelly look very good Whitney at 47 is killing but then she is the only one of the divas who was a professional model and covered major magazines. I’m ready to see her in a movie.

  45. EhnothingIcansayeh February 13, 2011

    I heard R. Kelly stole the night and got a standing ovation.

  46. Leah February 13, 2011

    Actually @x_posed99 Kelly as there last night look fabolous in her blue dress. But it is clear that Whitney Houston remains to be the talk of the night as well as R. Kelly. These two artist are the definition of timless music! Classics and the stay in the hearts of rel music fans! She looked so radiant last night! The fact that people still comment on her voice is gettin old. Get over it she does not sound the same. But she still sounds better than many of today’s artist.

    As I watch the red carpet show online last night, many people came to see her. So as you continue to hate on this ICON, she still remains a force to f*** with! Remember she knocked down the door for most of your favorites to come through. And there is proof that each one has either kissed her ass or gave her props this includes: Brandy, Monica, Christina, Brittany, Mariah, Toni, Mary J, Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Kelly, Faith Evans, Kelly Price….do I need to say more. So please respect an Icon and her status cause many will never see her success! Congrats Whitney….we still love you!

  47. Ariana February 13, 2011

    Mrs. Houston looks great! I prefer the picture where she’s wearing the black dress though: sooooo pretty!
    I hope we have a video for this performance soon.

  48. Tru Voice February 13, 2011

    Whitney looked great. I didn’t even know Mary was there. R. Kelly Always Delivers too.

  49. Shane February 13, 2011

    well said @LEAH couldnt have said it any better. I think she sounds great No singer has the same voice that had 20 years prior. She still hitting those notes & has a beautiful tone. Lets celebrate her coming through everything that she did instead of yall constantly judging her. Michael Jackson didn’t get to come through his situation. He was constantly judged and talked about while alive it wasn’t until his death that he got respect. I’m just happy that Whitney is alive & healthy. Keep it up Whit!

  50. Misty February 13, 2011

    Whitney looked gawwwwjus!!!!! OMG she is just glowing.
    I just love to see her & Clive together, they have really stuck it out through thick and thin. God is so good and Whit is on the right track!

  51. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ February 13, 2011

    Whitney looks GORGEOUS! Love her! <3

  52. Brighteyeshazel February 13, 2011

    Whitney looks marvelous. I love it. Glad she is bringing it. R Kelly OMGosh just amazing. Of course he delivered and had a standing ovation, ummm you people surprised? This is R Kelly, legendary, king of R&B, musical genius, need I say more. You younger haters can hate on R Kelly and Whitney Houston all you want but you can’t take away their REAL TALENT and LEGENDARY STATUS and still SLAYS all these young, bubble gum gimmickly singers. SO recognize SMH

  53. Anthony February 13, 2011
