Rachel, I just re-watched WH's appearance & took notes. Here's some corrections(about her wardrobe & when Magic gave her the jersey) & more details:
- she came out to standing ovation, while a recording of her singing "GLOA" played (I couldn't place which performance this was but it sounded good);
- wore long coat that was black w/grey pinstripes in top half/grey in bottom half w/ matching grey pants & black ankle boots;
- she sd "What a good audience" & waved & sd "Hi" to them enthusiastically several times;
- congratulated Magic on the show;
- spoke to Bobbi Kristina who was in Florida w/a fever: "Mommy loves you-take your medicine" then as an aside, told Magic BK doesn't like to take medicine, then sd to BK "Mommy loves you-be good to yourself";
- when Magic asked if she'd like to do film w/Arnold Scharzenegger(the 1st guest), she sd yes, that she liked action films;
- her fave film role was "WTE"' "Savannah" whom she described as "a regular girl-a woman" ;audience cheered & applauded in agreement;
- audience applauded when Magic mentioned Cissy & Dionne-WH thanked the audi- ence & applauded them;
- sd "we call (BK) 'Krissy'";
- BK "dancin' & singin'"-does Stevie Wonder impersonations;
- Magic asked who BK is more like: WH or BB?-she sd it depends on the day;
- she sang a capella "If It's Magic"(just a few bars)-sounded absoltutely sublime!!!- audience went crazy-Magic really appreciated it;
- she hugged Magic(again) when they went to commercial;
- upon coming back from break, showed montage of her winning various awards down through the years-Magic sd she had more awards than he did-she sd that he had more awards than her(in a consoling manner to Magic);
- Magic sd Gary played pro basketball & he played him; WH sd Gary won't tell his basketball "secrets"; Magic told Gary he had crush on WH-Gary sd "No ball players for my sister"-WH laughed;
- Magic & WH both wished that they weren't recognized when they have their kids out in public-they want to give their children a "normal life"(her words);
- when people come up to WH, WH sd BK says "Excuse me, I'm talking to my mother";
- WH sd it's hard when going out to dinner & joked good-naturedly "I eat w/a fork" & laughed;
- loves to vacuum-vacuums while BB watches TV;
- Magic had crew member bring out vacuum cleaner-WH vacuumed his set, saying "I can work a vacuum"-then danced a little to band accompaniment while vacuuming;
- when finished, she applauded band & audience applauded her;
- sd she usually "vacuum(s) to Gospel music, so now I'm really hyped";
- Magic brought up "The Bodyguard 2"-WH mentioned Princess Diana & sd "GOD rest her soul" & sd somberly "of course now that's impossible", then sd the script calls for her to save Kevin's character this time around & she is considering it-Magic & audience happy about that;
- Magic gave her Lakers jersey w/#32 & "Houston" on it-she seemed genuinely sur- prised & glad about it & repeatedly thanked him; cut to commercial;
- return from break-WH standing beside Sheila E. improvising "Magic's got his own show" & moving about to the rhythm & moving her arms up & down in the air- audi- ence on feet & clapping along entire time;
- watched "fire guy" on sidelines w/Magic;
- at show's end, Magic admitted he was nervous until WH came on "looking gorg- eous" & singing;
- she applauded when Magic thanked his sidekick(Craig Shoemaker) & Sheila E.;
- they all be-bopped along to band's closing music 14 minutes+ have never seen her happier, warmer, more spontaneous in any interview; no defensiveness, no sweating; she seemed to have great time & was the "magic" of the show!!!
