Whitney Houston Is Back!

This year's Grammy Awards have a great story to tell even before any awards are given out. Last night at Clive Davis' celebrated annual pre-Grammy party, Whitney Houston made a stunning, dramatic return to form in a performance that closed a party filled with A-list legends on the stage and in the audience. Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, and Barry Manilow were among those who owned the stage. The audience included Prince, Rihanna, and the Jonas Brothers. However, no one overshadowed the moments when Whitney took the microphone.

At the age of 45, it is clear she no longer hits the stunning high notes in the same way, but a solid version of "I Will Always Love You," as well as powerful performances of songs like "It's Not Right But It's OK," and "I'm Every Woman" proved Whitney Houston is more than ready to re-enter the pop arena. Her chart record includes 11 #1 pop singles and three #1 albums, including two that sold over 10 million copies. Rumors are that we will see a new album in the spring. In the meantime, check out some of her past highlights below.

• "The Greatest Love Of All"
• "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"
• "I Will Always Love You"
• "It's Not Right But It's OK"
