R. Kelly is delivering an appropriate performance of "I Look To You". Very nice and understated. :)

R. Kelly's performance of "I Look To You" made me want to cry. :'(
CeCe's performance was beautiful too.

Felt most emotional when CeeCee Winnans started singing "Yes Jesus Loves Me." Whitney loved that song.

Oh my God. I almost lost it when they carried her casket off while "I Will Always Love You" played.

The sight of Cissy Houston walking behind the casket was very heart-breaking as well.

Bobby Brown Explains Why He Left Whitney Houstonβs FuneralBobby Brown left Whitney Houstonβs funeral at Newark, N.J.βs New Hope Baptist Church shortly after the service began. In a statement put out by his representative, he explained, βMy children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. βI fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move,β he said. βSecurity then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi-Kristina. In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.β abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/02/bobby-brown-explains-why-he-left-whitney-houstons-funeral/

Ehhh. I just watched Whitney's interview with Oprah for the first time this morning, where she told of how Bobby spat on her. I have little sympathy right now. Also, if he was there for his daughter for the whole time he would not need to "attempt" to see her.

Also, if he was there for his daughter for the whole time he would not need to "attempt" to see her. Bobby was on tour when the news broke, and it dosen't matter what any of us have to say Whitney would have wanted Bobby and her former stepchildren to be there. Bobby was supporting his daughter. Whitney's family is wrong for this it is not about them.

Yeah. We don't know the whole story. I wouldn't be surprised if Cissy and the rest of Whitney's family don't even really want Bobby around Bobby Kristina, especially with her own recent drug problems. Remember Bobby wasn't even initially invited to the funeral.

Kevin Costner's speech might be the best speech I've ever heard my entire life.. I loved every second of it.

I take back what I said earlier. Bobby Brown should not have been allowed to attend the funeral. He always acts like an asshole even at times when he needs to put all his issues and drama aside. He needs to think of his daughter who is hurting right now. What is this shit that he needs to bring 9 people and an entourage? It's okay to bring a single bodyguard and his other children if he is, but to bring all these people when you are only supposed to bring a couple? Uh-uh. No fucking way. He is a disrespectful, low class piece of shit who will never learn. He only cares about himself. If he was really sad and wanted to help Bobbi Kristina, he should have left that performance last week when he found out and been by Bobbi Kristina's side. He has to make it all about him. Even though Bobbi Kristina should have a parent in her life, but if this is how he will behave, she is better off without him.

None of your excuses make sense considering that she's going on stage tonight in concert. Read my post clearly and you will see the overall reason that she possibly didn't attend. Ppl coming for Aretha...lol

Your posts make 0 sense 100% of the time. If people tell you you're not making sense, please don't ever think for one second it's because they haven't 'read clearly'.

Man I really just want to cry right now. Reality didn't set in until I saw the casket today.

I saw some people on Twitter tweeting about it, but was Carole King at the funeral?

None of your excuses make sense considering that she's going on stage tonight in concert. Perhaps she doesn't want to but has to because it might cause too much trouble to cancel. I don't like it either, but getting your paycheck sometimes forces you to go to work even at times when you don't want to.

For older people travel, with health problems, is sometimes overwhelming
