Whitney's Grammy Moments

Houston's finest Grammy performances

By percy thrillington Feb 12, 2012 6:48PM
As details of Whitney Houston's death continue to roll in, one can expect the coverage to focus on sordid details of her decline. But as the 2012 Grammys are handed out tonight, the long shadow of Houston's immortal talent will be on everyone's mind. She was nominated 26 times and won six of those, but her performances at the awards ceremonies were among the most memorable of any in history. Here are a few reminders of what Whitney Houston was capable of when the spotlight was at its brightest:

"I Will Always Love You," 1994
Several More Below:

"Saving All My Love For You," 1986

"The Greatest Love of All," 1987

"One Moment in Time," 1989
Gospel medley (w/Shirley Caesar & Cece Winans), 1996

I grew up with Whitney's music.. She inspired all of us preteens to dance and have fun. The gal had a life that we will never fully understand unless we are in the shoes that she wore. Good old stardom. Just never know. Miss her much, just hope she didn't suffer, bless her heart.

This goes to show everyone what drugs and bad relationship can do. America needs to wake up and realize addiction is real and growing. I am an addiction counselor, and everyday I see lives wasted, just wasted. Whitney was taken away years ago by her husband and drugs. She had one of the best all time greatest voices and I have to think that now she has peace. Real peace from life, bad relationships, and drugs. My God Bless her and her loved ones.

Jennifer Hudson brought me to tears. Although there will never be another Whitney Houston, Ms. Hudson paid tribute very graciously.

Actually there were a couple other songs that were favorites of mine that didn't make it on the videos above.  She had a great voice and had so much going for her.  I've had this discussion with other people as to what happens with highly successful people who can pretty much have whatever they want, and then they decide to throw drugs into the mix.  Very unfortunate but not surprising results.  The best to her family.

MR Magic 2 that is really ignorant. We are talking about someone's death, not their arrest. It is amazing the lack of tact that people have. Just remember Karma is a bitch. She really is.

The smart money says clean as a whistle like the fake amy winehouse results. Personally, I hope she breaks rick james record of 7 substances.

God wanted to be with her so her made her a drug addict please she's gone sad as it may be because of choices she made, like so many other talented people have in the past Belushi.Morrison,Hendricks,Joplin,Fa​rley all tried to escape the pressures of fame and sadly were lost to soon. My condolences to the family.

She was singing her heart out when I was pouring out mine. Now, as I go through some of the hardest moments in my life, she is gone. What memories I will remember when I had that One Moment in Time. She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. She will be remembered by millions as the one who sang about the Greatest Love of All. She will be missed, but her music lives on in our hearts.

God truly wanted her to be with him and enjoy having her beside his side to serenade him.  She was truly one of god's human gift to us all to enjoy and fill sorrow after she was gone.  She song like a angel and gave us all a talented voice to enjoy for a life time.  She will be truly missed and loved by all.  God bless you Whitney and god bless her family.

What a life to celebrate!! Very few artists can inspire so many. She had her One Moment in Time, or more, and she will always be remembered by them.  Thank you for many wonderful memories.

It has been snowing at my house since last night.  I know that the angels are crying for the death of Whitney. She is surely in heaven and singing her heart out. She will truly be missed.
