“I crash down, I stumble, but I did not crumble” sang Whitney Houston on 2009′s ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength’.
It appears the legend is clinging to those words now more than ever, as she has voluntarily extended her stint in a drug and alcohol rehab program.

Covering songs by Whitney Houston is widely understood to be a text-book no-no for today’s crop of stars. However, Keri Hilson shunned such apprehension when she tackled the legend’s 1992 classic ‘I Have Nothing’ at the BMI Pop Awards last night.
Hilson performed the fan-favourite in honour of its writer David Foster. Check out how she fared after the jump…

Peep a laid back Whitney Houston posing with a friend at Prince‘s sold-out concert at Los Angeles’ Forum last night.
The iconic diva is said to be in final negotiations to reprise her role as Savannah Jackson in ‘Getting to Happy’ – the sequel to 1995′s box office smash ‘Waiting to Exhale’.
Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey visited ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ in 1998 to promote the animated film ‘The Prince of Egypt’ and delivered the 1st televised performance of the Academy Award-winning track ‘When You Believe’. Fast forward 13 years and the rendition is remembered as one of the most memorable moments in television history thus making it a great choice for From The Vault.
Although many argue that this song was shockingly underwhelming considering the vocal gymnastics for which both women are known, it is obvious that there isn’t a single artist today who can compare to Houston and Carey. Indeed, some singers hay have expansive vocal ranges while other have technical skill but none of them have such a combination of both.
Watching this performance does encourage the question of why Houston and Carey have not performed (or even been seen) together in over a decade. While both women have long since passed their prime, to witness a reunion of the industry’s most celebrated divas would truly be a sight to behold.
Lady GaGa called in to ‘On Air with Ryan Seacrest’ today. During the interview the controversial performer spoke in detail about her new album and revealed several song titles including ‘Judas’, ‘Hair’, ‘Government Hooker’ and ‘Marry The Night’.
