Robin Thicke Honors Whitney Houston (Ellen Show)



When he paused at the middle of the song and stared at Whitney's picture and got choked up at the end, I knew he was a true fan, like all of us here.

Gordon Chambers (producer of One Wish) What a Stradivarius was to a violin was what Whitney Houston brought to a microphone, the best voice of the 20th century. http://www.pbs.org/n...tney_02-13.html

That made me well up with tears...

Loved it! Whitney's music is truly timeless. I hope that if I live long enough, 60 years from now I will still see people covering her music like this. I'm sure they will.

Sorry just realized this could have been placed in another thread rather than the tribute thread - if anyone thinks this is necessary could you relocate it? Thx!

This speaks volumes to me. I love Robin Thicke anyway but for him to be on the Ellen show promoting his new album, and instead sings Exhale for Whitney, that means a lot. Thank you for posting this.

That was real nice of him to perform a version of her song, and especially liked the fact that they had a video tribute playing.

So I'm cruising you tube, listening to Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, trying to zone out all this grief and unexpectedly see this. And got reminded that you can't 'zone out', cause Whitney is music. All over music. Ya know.

Sharon Jones & Dap Kings - Whitney Houston tribute - Bristol (in concert). Cute.



Love you forever Whitney, your the music in my heart.

From Mariah to Rihanna, from Alicia to Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston has inspired countless singers, musically and otherwise. Simply put, there would be no Mariah, Celine, Beyonce, Christina, Jennifer or Mary, without Whitney Houston.
