With a new greatest hits collection (November 13th) and tribute documentary (October 17th) in motion to pop legend Whitney Houston, it looks like fall is shaping up to be Houston-heavy for fans still celebrating the late singer’s life.
For, as reported today, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, and R. Kelly are three names set to pay homage to Houston in a Grammy-sponsored, hourlong tribute. Set for taping October 11th, the surely star-studded event is expect to unveil more performers as the weeks pass.
Fans looking for tickets to the Los Angeles-hosted event can click here for details. Those unable to make the show can catch it when it airs on CBS in November (source).
Who else would you like to see perform at the special?

I would like to see Brandy perform and pay tribute.
that would sound terrible
Beyonce….Tamia… Monica…
beyonce and alicia
I have no clue what the heck Usher would sing but i would like to see Brandy, as for gospel goes definitely Yolanda Adams & Kim burrell.
I would love to see what Beyonce would do, Jazmine sullivan, Jordin Sparks.
And I wanna see big voice R&B chicks like Keke Wyatt, faith evans, Tamia, Fantasia, kelly price, mariah (the old one), Ledisi, and even Jill Scott.
Yes, I TOTALLY AGREE!
How could you not mention Monica?!…I would definitely pick her before Fantasia and Jordin Sparks smh
Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, Brandy, and Monica.

I wanna see Monica and Mary J. in that order.
I am happy Whitney is being honored. I would like see Brandy, Monica, Mariah, etc perform.
BEYONCE….really!…..uffff.
Hush yo mouth white flaky brat. U can make your own suggestions or exit the post
Haha i still love you tho.
Jessie J… Kim Burrell… Tarralyn Ramsey… Stevie Wonder… Mariah Carey… Deborah C**… Ron Isley… & Karen Clark… & that girl from American Idol this year… um (Jessica? Sanchez? Jennifer? something?) These are the people I want to see!
THIS ^^ minus the sanchez girl
Christina Aguilera .. please?
I’m really just not here for these FAKE PULLED TOGETHER TRIBUTES where the main focus of the folks ORGANIZING the event is on putting together a POLITICALLY CORRECT CAST OF CHARACTERS that make little to know sense! WTF does Usher Raymond have to do with WHITNEY HOUSTON? …..EXACTLLY, NOTHING AT ALL! No shade but come on really? o_0
No offense to anyone else but there are enough SOUL SINGERS to put on a damn good show without including “POP TARTS” of all flavors!! 🙁
gurrrr bye
Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, P!nk, Mariah Carey, Brandy, Monica, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Jordin Sparks, Deborah C**, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Yolanda Adams, Kim Burrell, Faith Evans, Kelly Price, Mary J. Blige, Pattie Labelle, Neyo, Bruno Mars.

Monica,Faith Evans,Kelly Price,Deborah C**,Tamia,Shanice,Patti Labelle,Aretha Franklin,Chaka Khan,Mary J. Blige,Kim Burrell,Yolonda Adams,Beyonce,Christina Aguilera,Alicia Keys,Ce Ce Winans,Toni Braxton
Oh yeah can’t forget Jill Scott
That’s what I’m talking about…the real singers
Gladys Knight!
Bran Bran (Brandy) my gurl!
Leave Jennifer ass out please. I need Monica, Mary J, Kelly Price, Tamia and whoever else are REAL soul singers. People who sing with conviction in their voice. People who had the desire of lyric phrasing like Whitney. We don’t need people up there whispering or running all over the place! That was not Whitney!
Monica, Brandy, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Rowland, ( N B4 u attack me that short tribute she did at that club appearance a few months ago where she sang part of How Will I Know N I Wanna Dance With Somebody was dope n shocking. Wish she sang like that ALL THE TIME) Jazmine Sullivan, Tamia, Faith Evans, Jill Scott, Kelly Price, Yolanda Adams, Kim Burrell, Beyonce(She’s a dope vocalist when she actually sings) n maybe a few others but I don’t see why Usher is singing n J. HUD jus doesn’t do it 4 me singing Whitney songs. Thas my opinion. Oh n Maybe Alexandra Burke. Her Saving All My Love was nice
Monica all day
Kelly Rowland would be great..that tribute for Mariah gave me life
So far that’s a great lineup.
Total i’d like to see Usher, J. Hud, R. Kelly, Brandy, Monica, Kelly Rowland, Queen Beyonce, Mariah, Patti LaBelle, Mary J Blige, Christina, Jordin Sparks, CeCe Winans, Kelly Price, Chaka Khan, Kim Burrell, Stevie Wonder…….. damn near any female VOCALIST (notice theterm “Vocalist”) in the industry today has been inspired by Whitney so they all could do her justice.
They might as well do a whole VH1 Divas show (the way they used to do them before 2000, not the s*** the put on now) dedicated and in tribute of Whitney.

They must have MONICA! She slayed “I love The Lord” and set the ton for the last Whitney Tribute on BET
Hope brandy is involved. she idolized whitney the most. industry wise!
Jennifer Hudson again?…
But you are all missing the point. This is not the BET awards (and that tribute was the best to date, awesome). Grammys always put artists from all kinds of genres, like in the Michael tribute they did. And I like that for this particular tribute. You need to understand Whitney was A GLOBAL magastar and ICON transcending every type of culture
It´s true she is a black girl from the USA, but she has had many tributes from that comunity. Can´t see why you all want Monica, Brandy and the rest again and again? This is about celebrating Whitney in MUSIC, in the WORLD. You can expect country singers, soul singers, pop singers and even rock singers paying tribute to her this time. As it should be. People on here are so narrowminded it´s not even worth the joke. Some Americans have a problem with education, seriously (like all that talk about the illuminate shows for example)
For your info Celine Dion has been already confirmed too. See? That´s what I was saying
In a perfect Whitney tribute for the entire world to watch there shoulb be talented people but also just megastars. It would be shocking and weird and awesome Madonna or Gaga paying tribute to Whitney if you know what I mean. Celine is already in. Mariah would be good. Megastars if you know what I mean. Oh yeah and Jennifer Hudson too (lol, don´t know who is pushing it but she is not a Whitney Houston at anything)
But what exactly is Usher and Jennifer Hudson going to do for WHitney? Jennifer Hudson is a MESS live…she has no voice control. All that power but doesn’t know how to work it. And usher can sing but why is he added to the tribute? We just want to do her justice…there is nothing wrong with that. Brandy and Monica did a good job so why not bring them back again along with soulful singers who will do her justice #IJS
I think Syleena Johnson should sing, didnt anyone see her in New Orleans sing for whitney…it was the best
Brandy, tamia, keke wyratt, monica, kelly clarkson, adele,
Beyonce and Kelly Rowland Duet ,Lady GaGa, Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys heck even Madonna and Celine they were all ruling the charts at the same time it only makes sense for them to pay tribute to their longtime chart rival/friend
IM SORRY BUT I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANYONE SING A WHITNEY CLASSIC BUT WHITNEY HERSELF!!! NO AND I MEAN NO ONE CAN SANG LIKE KING WHITNEY ELIZABETH HOUSTON AKA NIPPY!!!!!
BUT IF I HAVE TO PICK IT WOULD BE MS XTINA AGULLERIA!! SHE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO SOUND A LITTLE BIT AND I MEAN LITTLE BIT LIKE HER!
faith, kelly price, brandy, monica, ledisi, kim burrell, deborah c**, tamar (b**** can sing), keke wyatt, cece winans, celine dion, xtina, the girl from sugarland, kelly clarkson, pink
Christina and Mariah…that’s it
Brandy, Monica, Kim Burrell, Mariah, Ce Ce Winans
I think Kelly rowland, xtina, Celine Dion and and that white chick who sings the last part on Kirk Franklin Lean on Me, Despite her over singing but Ms Beyonce has the voice, they all will do a great Job
