RIP Whitney

I still am trying to process this. Whitney Houston's voice has been silenced. We will never hear her sing again and that makes me immensely sad. She had one of the purest yet strongest voices of all time. What a gifted and blessed voice. A voice that inspired millions around the world to sing, to have as their wedding songs, to have as part of the soundtrack of their lives.

My heart breaks for her daughter Bobbi Kristina, her mom Cissy and her ex Bobby Brown. If we her fans are so heartbroken, I can only imagine how her family and friends feel. My prayers go out to them.

I spent Sunday morning playing her music so that my daughters (who knew some of her music) could hear more of her music and truly understand why the world is mourning the loss of Whitney and her God blessed voice.

I knew watching the Grammys would be especially emotional but I really felt that LL Cool J did a great job balancing the emotions of the evening. His prayer for Whitney was very touching. I absolutely loved Jennifer Hudson's song tribute and it was so classy and well done by the Grammys.

Whitney may be gone from us forever but we are blessed to have her musical legacy to always remember her and her voice by. RIP Whitney.

Grammy night!

Tonight was music's biggest night, Grammy Awards night! With the sadness over the passing of Grammy legend Whitney Houston, this Grammy Awards night promises to be an emotional affair.

I was watching the Red Carpet pre-show on the E channel and got sad with the touching interview with Kelly Price about Whitney. Rihanna looked amazing on the E Red Carpet.

LL Cool J was the host and began the show with a beautiful prayer. He delivered the prayer & introductory speech with the right mix of emotions for the evening.

I loved Rihanna's performance. Love her new look!

Score 1 for recording old school garage band style. Great advice by Dave Grohl!

Glen Campbell sounded great. Such a courageous display of defiance to such a horrible disease and fate that awaits him. I hope that a cure is found for Alzheimers soon. His song "Rhinestone Cowboy" reminds me of my mom. She loved that song.

Jennifer Hudson gave us a beautiful Whitney Houston tribute and a Grammys moment we will never forget.

I really dig the whole visual with Deadmau5. The ceylon mau5 was VERY cool!

Nicki Minaj ended the night with a performance that was high concept and very theatrical. I liked it.

Great ending to the Grammys, its music helped heal us a little tonight. I hope it helped Whitney's family heal a little bit too. I'm sure she was there in spirit enjoying all the love shown to her. RIP Whitney.
