Dolly Parton Remembers Whitney Houston

Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston had a special bond…maybe not personally but over music. After all, Whitney’s amazing vocals brought Dolly’s song, “I Will Always Love You” to a whole new level.

Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song, and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, “Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.”

After Jennifer Hudson’s amazing performance of the same song during the Grammy Awards last night, Dolly again expressed her gratitude and loss.

“I was brought to tears again last night, as I’m sure many were, when Jennifer Hudson sang ‘I Will Always Love You’ on the Grammys in memory of Whitney. Like everybody else, I am still in shock. But I know that Whitney will live forever in all the great music that she left behind. I will always have a very special piece of her in the song we shared together and had the good fortune to share with the world. Rest in peace, Whitney. Again, we will always love you.”

Its so sad to see such amazing talent taken away so soon.

Top Country Tweets for the 2012 Grammy Awards

There were highs, there were lows. There were moments that blew us all away, there were moments that we want to forget. It was one busy night at the Grammy’s, but what did the stars have to say about it? Here is a timeline of some of the nights biggest events.

Taylor Swift

10. The pre-telecast awards kicked off with @TaylorSwift13 as an early winner for country music. “Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. I’m floating.”

9. The events started early this morning with @TheBandPerry tweeting “Just finished our last Grammy rehearsal… And Sir Paul McCartney was on the first row watching us!!! Tune in to the show tonight. (np)”

8. Finally getting the recognition they deserve, @TheCivilWars were also early winners. “Best Folk Album and Best Country Duo Performance. We’re on cloud 9. Thanks to all of you! #GRAMMYs”

7. As the awards started, Cody Alan @CMTcody noticed an odd seating arrangement. “Miranda Lambert sits next 2 Lady Gaga. Carrie Underwood next 2 Tony Bennett and Taylor Swift next to Nicki Minaj. Only at the #GrammyAwards”
**Update** @Miranda_Lambert tweeted “She likes to cook and as of tonight is a fan of the randarita! :) (bacardi and crystal light)”

6. There was no lack of love for Adele throughout the night. @ChrisYoungMusic “Adele. That is all. #damn”

5. With the recent loss of Whitney, Jennifer Hudson’s tribute hit the hearts of many including @EdensEdge “OMG who else cried to Jennifer Hudson’s tribute to Whitney Houston?! God I miss her so much! A legend we will never forget HB”

4. Along with the great performances, some left us questioning what was happening as the Casey Donahew Band (@CaseyDBand) tweets about the mystery mousehead “I hope Walt Disney is getting a royalty check from that weirdo stealing his logo to wear on his head and make noise!!”

3. One of the highlights of the night included a tribute by @BlakeShelton and the Band Perry to the legendary Glen Campbell “So honored to have shared the stage of the Grammys with The Band Perry and the great Glen Campbell…”

2. Of course there is always a performance that leaves you disturbed. @RandyMontana tweets “Still wigged out from that Nikki Minage exorcism.”

1. As @DavidNail says it’s not about the individual performances, it is about the magic that happens in a room of musicians. “One year ago I was in the audience, the energy and pride I felt in that room will never be forgotten! It’s the ultimate reward…”

Until next year,

Although the few country connections we had to the Oscars last night didn’t walk away with awards we were still represented well.   What did you think of Jennifer Hudson introducting Gwyneth Paltrow as “a singing sensation and country music’s new star”?
