Let's Start With A Prayer From Ladies Love Cool James

I couldn't have said it better. It just shows how shallow this business is. At least Chaka Khan cares. I don't think Mariah Carey did a tribute, because they were close, and friends. J Huds she did the best she could under the circumstances, and you have to give her credit for that, and you could tell she was sincere.
Damn poor Whitney, that business is ruthless. I hope that her daughter has a better support system than Bobby Brown. I'd hate to see her daughter go down the same road from all this tragedy.

**************************************
It was a shitty tribute because she died like 24 hr before..hello... Chaka Khan was supposed to pay tribute.. Probably singing her song I'm every woman that Whitney remade.. But she issued a statement saying she was just too distraught to go thru with it... I'm so glad one of her friends was upset.. I mean they had the fucking party in the same hotel where her body lay.. just a few flights up... Meanwhile all the friends and boyfriend Ray J partied.. she probably still had his cum in her!!! Bastard.. Oh I'm so devastated.. Stop lying.. They danced with her upstairs.. Clive fucking Davis is her daughters Godfather.. as Bobbi Kristina was being rushed to the hospital in grief her dad was singing onstage and her godfather was right downstairs party.... uuuuuurrggghhh..

I think J Hud did a great job.. she looked like she wanted to cry...she's not Whitney and she couldn't make it sound like Whitney.. She put her spend on the song..

I noticed that Jani Lane didn't get a mention in the memorial montage. Granted Warrant was a cheesy hair metal band, but he was at least famous unlike 90% of the people they had on it.

I'm glad they did a tribute to Ms. Peaches (Etta James). I like Bonnie Raitt.

Jennifer-still-fat-at-heart Hudson doesn't sing, she fucking screeches her way through every torturous song she sings. She is also well known to be a gigantic asshole.

Yikes. She is so dreadfully insecure about gaining that weight back.

I have a (former) friend who lost a ton of weight, and then proceeded to post scarily bigoted things about overweight people on Facebook and Twitter. It was painfully obvious that he was terrified of gaining back a single pound. I blocked that bitch and fortunately, he moved to a different city and doesn't generally bother me anymore.

I think it was nice that LL had a moment of silence. If Niki whatever the fuck can put on a ridiculous parody about Catholics, LL can ask for prayers.

As for JThud, that was a joke. She sounded like my grandfather trying to clear his throat after one too many cigars. Really? Is she the best they could come up with?

As for the "Bobby Brown is to blame" nonsense - c'mon now, Whitney was no saint before Bobby and she pretty much could of had any man she wanted and she wanted that little street urchin. She also had the money and resources to help her get off whatever the hell she was doing, and didn't. Waste of talent and beauty. Sad.

Unless I'm looking watching a funeral or religious ceremony I really don't think religion belongs on television. I'm beyond tired of hearing about God all the time. Religion should be a private thing, not something you display for everyone to see.

I think JHud did a great job, but yes, in general, she doesn't sing, she bellows.

------------------------
This is how I felt also. I think she did great last night. Sometimes I don't care for her singing. It seemed to me that she was really holding back some tears and it made her hold back a little on her singing, which ended up being a good thing.

Jennifer Hudson is probably the worst actor in history to win an Oscar. The category was best supporting actress not best over-emotional singing.

Also, I was convinced for her first few scenes of Sex and the City that she was playing a retarded person. "Mah name is Louise from St. Louis" seriously even Pretty Girl doesn't talk like that.

Mr. W said Xtina should not be seen in public for awhile,and I sort of agree.
"At Last" is an easy song to screw up,in my opinion. As for Etta James' other songs-I'd rather go blind than hear her imitated badly. Really, there isn't anyone else like her. Even Janis Joplin,rest her soul, wasn't in Etta's league.

Submitted by A.cotw on Mon, 02/13/2012 - 12:35pm.
Speaking of tributes, was anyone else glad that the Etta James tribute song was "A Sunday Kind of Love"? Not anyone's favorite Etta song,but ANYTHING is better than yet another warbling,vibrating,melismatic cover of "At Last". Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt are decent musicians.

*****************************************************************

I'm so grateful that they didn't sing "At Last". I think Christina effectively put that song to bed forever. *LOL*

Loved Ronnie Raif, Alicia was okay.

The wonderful thing about Whitney (and unique), is that she had a big voice, but she didn't shout her songs (a la Patty Labelle) and didn't treat every song like a gospel song (like Jennifer Hudson).

agree very much [bunch of names you could have put after JHud's ...]

The wonderful thing about Whitney (and unique), is that she had a big voice, but she didn't shout her songs (a la Patty Labelle) and didn't treat every song like a gospel song (like Jennifer Hudson).

Whitney's voice was pure and distinct and both mature and innocent at the same time. So very very few singers really have that talent.

Judy Garland
Barbara Streisand
Edith Piaf
Aretha Franklin

Whitney, for me personally, is in this category of great women singers.

I for one really liked the prayer. I wasn't expecting that. So many people say that popular music is of the devil and no one got up and left the room so I guess the devil wasn't there.

i think she did a good job given the pressure, time for preparation and emotional burden. but would have rather have heard from Dolly.

anyone know what happened to Chaka Khan?

every time i see bitching about "over-singing" it seems to reflect a lack of appreciation for gospel or true soul style singing (not R&B, soul). whatever - to each their own tastes - but own up to your biases or lack of musical understanding rather than always blaming the artists for doing something "wrong" with their vocals.

I'm gonna play the cold blooded asshole for a minute: Is anyone else as sick to death of the "Whitney, our patron Saint of Crackies has died." coverage? I've see it on EVERY local newscast since Saturday, plus CNN, and the woman hasn't even been buried yet. They'll probably have a live telecast of when they plant her.

My sister had to work Sunday night so she started to set up the DVR for the Grammys when I complained about her tying up the DVR with that Whitney tribute shit. She gave me "the look" like I was heartless. My response was "What?! She's a crackie, NOT JESUS!" She gave me an alternate reason for her recording it which was better. (*shrug)

****************************************************************

I was thinking more Jackie Wilson or Frankie Lymon, with a touch of James Brown (who in his 70s did a better job than this kid).

About Jennifer Hudson, I'm sorry, but she is no Whitney. It is obvious to me that she's trying to now move into the place of Whitney as the beloved R&B/Soul/Pop Black diva now. I'm sorry, but I"m not feeling her. Jennifer seems too contrived now. When she started, she was natural and giving. Now it is just "phony" to me. I don't know why, but it is for me. And, most important, Jennifer can't act. Whitney was a pretty decent actress. She didn't embarrass herself.

Much rather had Dolly Parton or Bonnie Raif sing it. Bonnie was wonderful with the Etta James song. Alicia should have gone back in the audience and just watch how it is done.

JHud did got in her own way - but she made me remember that currently there is NO ONE out there who has the voice of an angel like young Whitney had. Sad . :(

Off topic but am SO glad Ten Head, Cartoon Face and CaCa got all dressed up and no stage to go to!

Oh and yes, JHud did look bigget but I think that's probably a camera angle thing.

Jennifer Hudson's voice sounds too deep, not sure if it's because she was trying too hard or what.

Maybe she was trying not to bawl like a toddler,which affected her singing.

There's a FaceBook page called "I Get Uncomfortable When LL Cool J Licks His Lips"

http://www.aoltv.com/2011/05/02/sherri-ll-cool-j-licks-his-lips-the-view...

JHud's tribute was what it was...a fucking tribute to Whitney who's skin is still wrinkly from the water. Yes it's messed up but there you have it.

Oh, my DAYUMMMMMMMMM moment had to be when Kelly Clarkson and that dude was doing their duet and his fucking mic stopped working. She was already blowing him off the stage and then he was trying to scream into the mic, all subtle like and then he tapped it, as if that would turn that shit back on.

Oh, and Stevie Wonder...you are still loved but you need to lose the braids.

Sorry, Keys and Raitt SUCKED ASS on Etta's song IMHO. Really, I was just annoyed as Key's hair-don't.

P.S. I used to watch that prison show Oz and ever since getting grossed out by Adibesi's rolled up donut or shit log hat I have never like any kind - especially the one's like LL wears.

Jennifer Hudson's voice sounds too deep, not sure if it's because she was trying too hard or what.

Michael K, great minds think alike.

I said it on the Grammy Open Post that they should have gotten Dolly Parton to get up there with her guitar and just sing the song simply and sweetly.

Jennifer is trying to be our new "Whitney". Sorry, darlin'. Won't happen.

Jennifer Hudson did the best she could with that horrendous arrangement, but why does she always sound like she has excess spit in her mouth or marbles? She has trouble with certain consonants for sure. Maybe she should take a speech class. At least she didn't tell us to believe in yoself.

So was I. I thought Bonnie Raitt was a good choice because she started as a blues singer herself.

I hated what's her name's singing. It was full of flourishes and skill but no passion. Like a painter who can copy masters but can't think of original work.

I am heartless because I feel a lot more sympathy for the kids I teach that are born with none of Whitney's advantages and yet persevere every day to be able to do what everyone else takes for granted? When you work with FAS kids get back to me about being heartless. I am heartless about substance abuse that impacts your children. I liked Winehouse's music better then Whitney's, despite the vast difference in popularity. And yes I am well aware of the Crackie in Camden's habits. I think Billy Ray Cyrus had a big number one too!

Singing a song made famous by someone that just died 24hrs ago is kind of a no win situation. People aren't going to say you were wonderful because they don't want to take anything away from Whitney. Jhud did an OK job IMO anyway.

I HATE that whole style of music regardless of who's singing it. Most of these Hos go into this vocal acrobatic warbling that makes me want to poke my ears out with a termite filled stick.
