So Divas live is paying tribute to Whitney this year With AMAZING DIVAS sorry I meant little girls .. Miley, Demi, Ciara, and Kelly Clarkson. Am I the only one who think they should have REAL Divas pay tribute to her?

Who cares about the VH1 divas tribute? The show has lost its importance many years ago. The Grammy Salute is the ulimate possible tribute, and here's a preview of that show which is gonna air next week!
Top stars. Top Production. And the first time in history that The Grammy Awards do something like this for an artist! LEGEND.

Well, those acts aren't all top-notch (i.e. Usher doesn't do much for me), but it is a better line-up than the VH1 one.

Im sorry I said the wrong Kelly, I thought both were going to be there. I guess my excitment of all these amazing performers got the best of me lol. Not top notch at all but it will do I guess. celine is the only one I seem fit to pay a VOCAL tribute to THE VOICE! Im not saying the others cant sing, some of them have great voices. however others I just cant seem to hear them doing any justice to a Whitney song. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

Here's how I see it... First I think these are A-list names:
Celine Dion - One of the biggest divas Halle Berry - Oscar winner, perhaps the most famous black actress Britney Spears - A Superstar with huge media power Usher - Best selling artist with tons of #1 hits who I always hear on the radio for the past 10+ years.
There's also what I would call smaller celebrities:
Jennifer Hudson - Oscar and Grammy winner, a promising young act, with talent LL Cool J - Successful rapper, who also hosted the main Grammy Awards ceremony Cece Winans & Yolanda Adams - Both leading names in the world of Gospel Music, which is an important genre for Whitney Taraji P. Henson - An actress who is having some success, including Think Like A Man this year.
And of course the biggest thing out of all, the "Grammy" label. To me, Grammy Salutes Whitney is all I need. It can't be bigger than that, and they never have done anything like that for any other artist.
I don't think they can fit much more in a 1 hour show, especially since the focuse will be on Whitney Houston herself with many footage and performances from her. Considering these stars are there and not singing to Whitney in person, I'd say it's a top notch event.
I would have loved to see an appearance by other celebrities who love Whitney, such as Elton John, Paul McCartney, Tonny Bennett, Denzel Washington, etc. but 1) they can't sing a Whitney song so they won't perform 2) would they go and present a segment in front of a regular crowd, with Whitney not being there in person?
I'd say say the lineup is pretty solid.

Global Icon Award as a tribute to Whitney from MTV Europe Awards that aired tonight. The video tribute is narrated by Beyonce, and Alicia Keys accepted the award. Nice tribute!

user, not all of those acts are performing, though. :)
Any ideas why the USA is not getting the double disc? Same reasons it had remixes for The Greatest Hits, whereas non-U.S. releases did not?

You're right, but not a lot of celebrities could or would dare covering Whitney. But my point is, that the special has a few big celebrities even if they are not all performing. I think the reason why they are releasing a one cd version of the Greatest Hits is because in the USA, the old 2-disc greatest hits keeps selling very good (5x platinium so far) and Whitney doesn't have a 1 disc greatest hits for the USA. So basically they didn't want to kill off the old 2 disc greatest hits with a new one, and at the same time wanted to give buyers an option of owning a 1 cd greatest hits. In the overseas, there was Ultimate Collection which was a 1 disc release, but now the USA has one of its own.

NGU should've died in the vault. Are you kidding? I absolutely love the song and have heard it like a 100 times already. Based on the youtube votes, 4123 likes and 129 dislkes, I'm afraid you're in the very small minority. The song has a great beat, great lyrics and Whitney sounds beautiful. I hope they have other songs in the vault.

I Love "Never Give Up" but this is coming from a huge Whitney fan. However the fans on her message board I visit are probably 60/40. A decent amount of them dislike it or need alot of time to warm up to it.

I enjoy Never Give Up, I think she sounds beautiful too especially considering she probably did this in one or two takes as a demo since it was never fully finished to put on an album. The production is simple and is typical JD, but I like it. It reminds me of Mariah's "The One."
I've seen with a lot of people's opinions is they either really like or don't like it at all.

NGU should've died in the vault. Humph! I want ANY and EVERYTHING they want to put out. If they want to make a song using Whitney's voice talking to Kim Burrell at 4AM I want that too.

OK- it says "film version" on iTunes, but that version of IBIYAM is NOT it at all.

Has there ever been info about any non-released Bodyguard tracks? You'd think the label would have put some on the compilation, but it probably wants to boost as much product as possible.

mikeshere- sounds like the single version of IBIYAM- at least on iTunes. I don't know about the CD. If there are unreleased Bodyguard tracks, hope it's Whitney and not some other act. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif)
