With just 24 hours to go until the Grammy's are live, producers of the show have gotten an unexpected curve ball thrown right at them. Due to the very recent passing of Whitney Houston, producers have one day to rework their show rundowns to include a musical tribute to the legend Whitney Houston.
Neil Portnow, the CEO of the Recording Academy, which hosts the Grammys, issued a statement calling Houston "one of the world's greatest pop singers of all time... Her powerful voice graced many memorable and award-winning songs. A light has been dimmed in our music community today, and we extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, fans and all who have been touched by her beautiful voice."
With a statement like that coming from the CEO of the Grammy's there is most definitely a tribute in the works. I am sure with all the artists that she has inspired over the years they will not have a hard time getting artists to pay tribute through song. If you ask me I think Adele will sweep the awards and close with a Whitney medley as the rest of the music community joins on stage. It will certainly be interesting to tune in and see how the passing of Houston changes the feeling and flow of Grammy show tomorrow night.
