This was from a performance she did for her godfather, Paul Robeson, in 2000.

Whitney Houston performed at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in her hometown of Newark for the first and only time on Nov. 28, 2000. It was a Paul Robeson tribute concert, and she was one of many acts on the bill.

Pop star Whitney Houston hasn't made many public appearances lately, but she was there last night for the Paul Robeson tribute at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.

"Why I stand here today is because of Paul Robeson," Houston said after speaking about being inspired by his voice and versatility. She then sang two numbers, a brief, a cappella version of the "Porgy and Bess" ballad "I Loves You, Porgy," and the inspirational "You'll Never Stand Alone."

The "Voice for the Millennium" tribute at the Newark theater was a multimedia show, with one of the biggest crowd-pleasing moments coming from a vintage film segment of Robeson himself singing "Ol' Man River" in his memorable bass baritone.

Houston's mother, Cissy Houston, closed the show by singing a song she wrote for the occasion, called "This Day." Backed by two gospel choirs, she sang such uplifting lines as: "Starting right here, starting right now, let's do our best to make a brighter world."

Houston had a personal reason to support the tribute concert. Her father, John Houston, was Robeson's godson.

What a gorgeous woman.

Kevin Costner was right. She wasn´t just pretty. She was as beautiful as a woman could be.

I know. It makes me sad seeing these pics.

I also remember in the episode of BBB when Whitney was watching a couple dance (in the Mother's Day ep.) and she likes how they are still in love and looking into each other's eyes.

Not so much rare but always great to see her in gowns
And look at her figure too! Damn!

I said this before, I always wondered 'what if' those two ended up together. If Kevin was not married and Whitney was not dating Bobby B. I think he had a highschool boy crush on her :-)
