Straight or stoned, when Whitney Houston sings she sounds like she's a direct pipeline to God.

Thanks. It often amazes me how judgmental us Christians can be, even after scripture says, "Judge not lest ye be judged. For by the same judgment you judge others, you will be judged." If God, being perfect, reached out to us who are not perfect, can we not do the same to our fellow imperfect humans? God has proven to be inclusive...not exclusive. Let's hope God's church practices this principle. God bless.

Very wise words... ..and jokingly speaking we can probably lock up this comment thread after that because your comment was so fair,cohesive and wise, there's not much to say after your post (thank you for the smile and lesson I got from reading it)!

She was there because she was THE HOST of the show...and it's not as if she's a hateful person. She has a great record for being a productive and kind public citizen. Rather than cast aspersions on personal life, let us remember that only he who is without sin should cast the first stone. Everybody and their momma in the music industry know Whitney was cracked out and high as a kite during this medley: should we also say she should not have been part of this performance?

They always do a gospel medley, it's just not always televised for the general public, sometimes it is performed only for NARAS members.

mauriziosalvatore God's word is for everyone. How do you expect sinners to get saved?

There was a gospel medley just earlier this year at the 50th Grammys. Aretha Franklin, Bebe Winans, The Clark Sisters, The New Breed, etc.
