Whitney Houston's Tribute At The Billboard Awards

Image
Last night at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards Whitney Houston was honored with the Millennium Award along with a musical performance. I would have never guessed that John Legend and Jordin Sparks could do such lovely renditions of Whitney’s music…job well done. Ironically Whitney's last recording was a duet with Jordin, released today, to be on the upcoming movie Sparkle's soundtrack...

The 2012 Billboard Awards Will Honor Whitney Houston

Image
  This year’s Billboard Awards airing this Sunday, May 20th at 8pm on ABC, is planning a tribute to honor Whitney Houston. A Millennium Award will also be awarded to her legacy said to be accepted by Whitney’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, and her sister-in-law Pat Houston. Can someone tell me why Pat is involved? I know this is an honoring moment but Bobbi Kris is no child, she could obviously accept this award on her own, something tells me she didn’t ask for Pat to shadow her.  Let me be more specific…I don’t know much about Pat Houston, who was once Whitney’s manager, but the vibe I got from her during the Oprah Winfrey interview wasn’t the best. Her recollections leading up to Whitney’s death seemed off but more than that something about her didn’t come off very genuine. There were also claims that the reason Bobbi Kris stood the whole 5 minutes of her interview was because she didn’t want to do it, I wonder why she did the interview anyway? Hmmmm . Now Pa...

Sparkle Trailer

Image
  I already planned to see the remake of Sparkle but after looking at the trailer and witnessing the cast I am officially eager to see this movie. I think Whitney Houston's last film role, which was slated to be her comeback role, will  be a box office hit...I CANNOT WAIT!!! Musical prodigy, Sparkle (Jordin Sparks) struggles to become a star while overcoming issues that are tearing her family apart. From an affluent Detroit area and daughter to a single mother (Whitney Houston), she tries to balance a new romance with music manager, Stix (Derek Luke) while dealing with the unexpected challenges her new life will bring as she and her two sisters (Carmen Ejogo and Tika Sumpter) strive to become a dynamic singing group during the Motown-era. Sparkle will hit theaters, August 18, 2012. I see you Ms. Sumpter...this is big!!! source: Ropeofsilicon.com

Sneak Preview: Oprah Interviews Whitney Houston's Family On Sunday, March 11, Oprah sits down with Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina; her sister-in-law, Patricia Houston; and her brother, Gary Houston, on a special episode of Oprah's Next Chapter airing at 9/8c, only on OWN. Bobbi Kristina shares personal memories of her mom and how she would like the iconic superstar to be remembered. The family also addresses the rumors and speculation surrounding Houston's death. Watch a sneak preview now. I hope that the Bobbi Kristina portion of this interview isn't the last 5 minutes of this broadcast but moreso than that I hope this isn't too soon after Whitney's death for Bobbi Kris to open up to the public especially with all the speculations and scandals surrounding her mother's death. I will be tuned in this Sunday at 9 pm on the OWN network to see anyhow...

Song Of The Day!!

RIP Whitney Elizabeth Houston August 9, 1963- February 11, 2012. Hearing Whitney sing still brings me to chills, may here legacy never be forgotten... There are no plans of a public memorial service at this time but Whitney's funeral will be held at her childhood church, New Hope Baptist, tomorrow. The Associated Press will air a live stream of the service as well as grant access to air on television. This is still unbelievable to me....enjoy your weekend loves.

The Attendees Of The Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party

Image
I managed not to look at the pics from the Clive Davis annual Pre-Grammy party for a few days but I gave in last night and I must say the pictures are a tad bit disturbing. Not only do I think I couldn't have attended the party, but if I had to I know I wouldn't be all smiles knowing that Whitney Houston's lifeless body lies 3 floors up all while I pose for cameras, drink and take on normal festivities of a party...I know I couldn't have. Many of the first guests to arrive were able to see the crime lab truck still parked outside of the hotel... Take a lookse... There are reports that Miss Ross, who was honored at the party, managed to perform and not even mention Whitney's name...hmph. Brandy and Monica were scheduled to perform at the event as I stated earlier this week ...Brandy looks distraught, as if she doesn't want to be there. Poor thang. Since this party Sharon Osbourne and Chaka Khan have spoken out about their disgust for the party still going on. C...

Glee's Amber Riley Performing "I Will Always Love You"

Image
On last night's Valentine's Day episode of  Fox's Glee Amber Riley's character, Mercedes Jones, sang Whitney Houston's classic rendition of I Will Always Love You for her romantic song selection. The show was already taped well advance and it was purely coincidental that producers chose this song for the episode. However, the show was dedicated to Whitney with a message at the end of the show: "Whitney Houston 1963-2012. We will always love you." take a looksee! This was excellent, very well done!!! Was she busy Sunday?

Chaka Khan Talks Whitney Houston To Piers Morgan

Image
Chaka Khan visited the Piers Morgan show on CNN to talk fondly about her "little sister" Whitney Houston. During the interview Chaka spoke of getting high with Whitney and Bobby (Chaka went public with her drug use years ago), Whitney being in LA unchaperoned for a week and most openly spoke about her disbelief in Clive Davis going forth with his Pre Grammy Party. Chaka took to Twitter to dispel  rumors of her involvement  in a tribute being put together for the following day at the Grammys for her dear friend.   "As I grieve the loss of my friend and 'little sister,' I don't feel it appropriate to perform at this time. Continue to pray for the family." Here's what Chaka had to say to Piers Morgan about the party. "I thought that was complete insanity," Chaka Khan tells Morgan. "I don't know what could motivate a person, to have a party, in a building, where the person, whose life he had influenced so enormously, and whose li...

Video: Just Shut Up About Whitney!

Image
I've been wanting to post this video for the last couple of days but didn't want to do it so soon but now I feel it's only appropriate...this was hilarious!!! I swear I think of this clip every time I hear some silly ass reporter or celebrity (yeah I said it) speculating on Whitney's life and or death....just shut up! Fact: Whitney will be laid to rest in Newark, New Jersey where the singer grew up. Whitney's body was flown from LA to NJ on Tyler Perry's personal plane. The date for the funeral that is mostly being stated is Saturday. Whitney's body arrived at Whingham Funeral last night before midnight in a beautiful gold hearse.

Wendy Williams Breaks Down Discussing Whitney Houston

Many people are aware of the infamous radio interview that Wendy Williams did with Whitney Houston a few years back, but what many don't know is that Wendy is a former drug user herself. Now Wendy has never been hush hush about her past with crack but she's noWhitney Houston, this information wasn't front page news. Take a look as she emotionally opens up to her audience...   Wendy's past explains why she was so emotional over a woman she barely met once but had a notoriously infamous interview with at one time...this was courageous and beautiful of Wendy.

Video: Whitney Houston Greets Clive Davis, Brandy & Monica

This footage is from an interview junket for Clive Davis'  Pre Grammy festivities where Brandy Normwood and Monica Brown were slated to headline this past weekend...I have some many questions! What was in that note to Brandy? Was it to Brandy or Ray J? Who took the note and why? I'm just full of questions...excuse me y'all.

Songs Of The Week!

Image
I feel compelled to not only have today's Song Of The Day be a Whitney Houston classic but the entire week has to be all Whitney's music...and all of next week if I feel like it. This is one of my favorite songs and videos by Whitney Houston, I simply loved how angelic she looked in this video and the lyrics deserve no explanation. This is how I will always remember her no matter how she's painted in the media. Enjoy your day and loved ones.
