Clive Davis, Diddy, Alicia Keys and Bobby Brown Honor Whitney Houston

In Whitney's honor, Clive Davis spoke from the heart at his pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles.

"Whitney was a beautiful person and a talent beyond compare. She graced this stage with her regal presence and gave so many memorable performances here over the years. Simply put, Whitney would have wanted the music to go on and her family asked that we carry on.” said Clive Davis 

He continued: “Her beautiful smile, incredible energy and grandma hugs that shook your body … That made me get dressed; her natural positive spirit. We should celebrate Whitney Houston tonight. Listening to her sing was like a gift from God.”

Last night, Bobby Brown was hit with the devastating news while performing at a concert in Southaven, Mississippi. He decided to continue on his set and lift up her memory.

“First of all, I want to tell you that I love you all,” he told the crowd. “Second, I would like to say, I love you Whitney. The hardest thing for me to do is to come on this stage.”
