giving me the chance to talk to jasper about something we haven't talked aut before. jasper inspires me but i think it's amazing when you can inspire people to feel kbrat about who they are and the feel great about what they can be. i don't care how long the phenom goes on but i know even what it's done so far is good enough because done so far is pretty darn lintastic. doctors she saw the days before she died. the prescriptions and what may have happened at the hotel room on saturday. i'll ask a top beverly hills doctor. the cost of pain and addiction. >> it wasn't fun anymore. once i got it out of my life things got better. >> nikki sixx tells me why he thinks the music business is to blame for whitney houston's death. also daniel baldwin.

>> they talk in the 12 steps about hitting the bottom. the sad thing about hitting the bottom is there is always another bottom for you. >> the santorum surge, can it take him all the way? >> as president of the united states i will have your back. >> what does he say about ads like this. >> mitt romney's ugly attacks are going to backfire. >> and only in america from the school chorus to the brink of stardom. the voice that everyone is talking about. this is piers morgan tonight. news in the whitney houston investigation. the cause of death listed as deferred. whitney houston was seen drinking considerable quantities of alcohol before 10:00 a.m. wednesday and thursday. we'll have more on that in a moment. my interview with rick santorum. why he says the behavior of

stars like whitney houston and michael jackson has a harmful affect on america. >> that's why this is so disturbing. you see the royalty of america setting such a poor example and being troubled by these things that obviously are going to have a downstream effect and a harmful downstream effect. >> more from rick santorum later. breaking news on the whitney houston investigation. don lemon has more. on whitney's erratic behavior in the days before her death. you have unearthed fascinating, disturbing detail. tell me what you found out. >> there are disturbing detail and it contradicts what some of her friends said that she wasn't acting erratically in the days before her death. here's what a source briefed on her activity before her death was telting me that houston was seen ordering and consuming considerable quantities of alcohol before 10:00 a.m. in the morning on wednesday and thursday at the beverly hilton

at the lobby bar, and also around the pool. also, piers, saying she was doing summ doing somersaults an jumping in the pool and guests became concerned about it and they overheard her saying that the bartenders were watering down her drings and were putting too much ice in her drinks. this was just days before whitney houston was found dead. they said sometimes she was by herself, walking from the bar to the pool, and other times she was with an entouragentourage, male companion, just days before her death. >> when will we find out details from the toxicology report? where the investigation goes in terms of which doctor she was seeing, which prescriptions, which drugs she was actually taking? yeah. there are two facets here. one is the toxicology report.

the other is that they have given subpoenas to doctors and pharmacies. here's the part -- as far as the toxicology report, instead of six to eight weeks or eight to ten weeks as they said before, the coroner tells me he has expedited for the results of the toxicology reports and he wants to get them within four to six weeks and maybe sooner, piers. you know about the subpoenas that have been issued to pharmacies and doctors, not only here on the west coast, but also on the east coast, as well to try to figure out what was prescribed to her and who filled it. >> the big issue with whitney houston and many other stars in hollywood is this curious situation you have there where they can go to numerous different doctors, get numerous prescriptions from different pharmacy and no one can join the dots and let you work out how much a celebrity is taking. >> even a normal person, piers, even after this, what happens is

you go to the doctor and you say, oh, i have a back ache and they say it you have to go to a dentist. it is tmj and then when you go to the dentist you get a prescription for him. they want to make sure she wasn't doctor or pharmacy shopping. they are saying she wasn't at the point but they want to make sure, piers. >> one thing for sure, the drugs they found in her hotel room should not be mixed with alcohol, right? >> absolutely. whatever they found -- no prescription medication, no prescription medication should ever be mixed with alcohol. according to the source, she was drinking heavily the days before. if she was actually taking the medication found in her hotel room, that's a problem. >> don lemon, as always, thank you very much and great work on the detail of that investigation. thank you. several prescription drugs were found in whitney houston's hotel room, but could these medication and the doctors who

prescribed them be to blame? joining me is alon steinberg, a cardiologist who testified in michael jackson case. i watched with great interest and i'm fascinating by what your take is on the whitney houston case so far. >> well, it's an unfortunate case for whitney houston, her friends and family. it looks like it is unfortunate to see -- hopefully it is not completely similar but a similar thing happened to michael jackson and to anna nic nicole smith now happening to whitney houston potentially. >> tell me about this cult in hollywood of celebrities being able to get endless prescriptions from a procession of different doctors at the same time. what do you know about this? should it be better regulated? is it unique to los angeles in the way it happened. >> i don't think it is unique to los angeles. any patient that is addicted to

prescription drugs or drugs can go to different doctors and doctor shop and go to different pharmacies and hide below the radar of the system. celebrities have some additional help because they have other people that can get prescriptions for them. they can buy them on the street through assistants. and then another thing is they sometimes manipulate their doctors a little better because the doctors are intimidated by them and want to make their celebrity patients happy so they come back to them. so these combinations are an additional way for celebrities, but we see it all over the country. unfortunately the celebrities make the biggest news and continue to hear it here. >> we don't know all of the facts of what was in whitney houston's body or what she had taken. what we do know is what they found in the hotel room in terms of xanax and prescription drugs. what i have been hearing from dr. drew and sanjay gupta and others is a lot of anger in the

medical profession about a lack of awareness or knowledge from the general public toward the dangers of mixing prescription drugs with alcohol. >> absolutely. there's a danger. that's probably what happened with miss houston. she -- i'm sorry, benyamine suppress the respiratory and like with michael jackson that in combination with propofol made him stop breathing. with miss houston it is shocking she got the medications and anytime you prescribe the drugs alcohol cannot only add to the effects of benzodiazepine , decreased respiratory drive and consciousness and they are po tenuating, they work on the receptors of the benzodiazepine

and increase the levels of benzodiazepine and that is probably what we are guessing led to her demise. >> to clarify, would he be negligent for a doctor to prescribe whitney houston with the kind of prescription drugs she had if they knew her to be an addict? >> well, it depends on a lot of things. first of all, i'm a cardiologist. so i can't completely talk about it, but one i always practice within my boundaries. but that is something of general knowledge that benzodiazepine and people with addictive personalities you need to avoid and you need to send them to specialists. the specialist maybe careful in giving them that and understand the risks and benefits. so that's one thing that needs to be clarified. the other thing is that we -- you need to say no to patients sometimes. as you asked, because patients

it's common knowledge but up to doctors to give what we call informed consent. anytime we give any medication we should talk about the risk and benefits and things to watch out for. and someone like miss houston who had an addictive personality, that is common knowledge you should be very careful when giving these medication and the fact we found approximately types of medications, sedtives is concerning among doctors. >> dr. steinberg, thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. >> now i want to turn to a man who probably knows more about this issue than anyone else. he's one of the wildest men in rock history. he's had his own battles with addiction and made it out alive. nikki sixx. he is joining me exclusively now. the reason you have come on the show is you have been watching my show the last few nights and getting increasingly angry, as you put it to me, about the way the music business is trying to

almost through self denial pretend that whitney houston's death had nothing to do with them. >> when i e-mailed you, my point was that i think you have the courage to ask the strong questions, but a lot of times people don't want to hear that question and answer that question. and the enablerses, which are the people making the money off of the artists don't want to get fired. if you are the accountant you don't want to say i'm going to walk away if from you if you don't clean up or the manager, i'm going to pull you off the road because i'm going to stop getting commission. and if you are a record company you want to make records so if you have to news their nose with cocaine, bill pills, whatever it is. >> what was your reaction when you heard that whitney houston died? the. >> my reaction was i took to my twitter account and said what is

scummy about the music industry is that everybody loves you when you are dead. that's why i was watching your show and i was interested in what people were saying. i was hoping that people would say we tried and stood by her. what i'm hearing is she admitted public figure as an alcoholic. as myself, i'm a recovering drug addict and alcoholic and she's out drinking and with people and they are standing by her side and letting her drink. they are letting her do what she wants to do as an addict. i don't know her and i'm not really talking about her. when i reached out to you it is, we have amy winehouse, michael jackson. we have a long list of artists that fall prey to the enablers. that's really what -- what really amazes me. after all of this time, nobody can see that. i think the young artists need to hear this. they need to hear the questions you are asking. they need to hear what i'm saying right now. because they will fall prey to

at this time, too. when whitney houston or nikki sixx or the other artists started out we had courage to believe in ourselves. at what point did we lose the courage and started to let other people run our lives? >> what has been a common theme throughout the week from the guests i have had is those who knew whitney houston saying she was very strong willed. she didn't want to be told what to do. what would you say to that argument? >> i too am very strong willed. i was told if i continued to use i drugs my manager would walk away. that's the only person that said that to me. that was the kick in the ass i needed to put myself in rehab and get my act together. i had been sober before and slipped and fallen off the wagon. it happens all the time, but if somebody stands by an alcoholic, a drug addict and lets them keep ticking along, eventually their

ticker is going to stop and that's what happens. in this case, and many other cases, i think that's the issue to look at. >> let's take a break and talk specifically about the issue of the celebrity doctors, or better phrase in hollywood who seem to dish out any drugs a celebrity wants and there are multiple different places they can get them. it is unlike almost anywhere else in the world for the availability and the willingness to bend the rules. let's talk about that after the break. >> perfect. you know when i grow up,

i'm going to own my own restaurant. i want to be a volunteer firefighter. when i grow up, i want to write a novel. i want to go on a road trip. when i grow up, i'm going to go there. i want to fix up old houses.

demons, motley crue's nikki sixx. let's talk about the celebrity doctors in hollywood. how easy has it been over the years for you to get pretty much any drug you like? >> you know, i'm in a unique situation where i actually never had a rock doc, as they call them. i sort of went the dirtier route being in a rock band, went to the street and that's where we scored our drugs. it's a lot of the people that came -- middle '80s on where i started to see the rock doc being part of enabling the drug addict. >> how does it work in reality? how do these rock docs go about their business? >> i don't really understand how it works. its big concern is how does -- how does nobody get caught doing

this? i don't have experience in that field, but i imagine if you are getting different prescriptions filled from different doctors there has to be some sort of a check and balance in there somewhere. >> there doesn't seem to be the regulation. there seems to be no running kind of database. where if you are a michael jackson or whitney houston, and you want to load up with loads of prescription drugs, you can go to six, seven, eight, nine doctors if you would like. you can also send assistants and not even use your name. very easy to hide the overall consumption. >> yeah. absolutely. we see that all the time. you know, back to the personal assistants, the handlers, the road managers, the people that are directly answering to the lawyers, the managers, the accountants and then obviously the record labels, you know, where does the fault lie? is it with the artist? i had to find the courage to

turn my life around. but there was a time, and it took a minute for me to wake up and realize that i was just a slave to the system. i was being put out there for month and months and months to work because everybody gets paid on the gross. i don't understand how that isn't more of the sthaubt people are talking about right now. >> certainly the exposure i have had to people in the music business is it is unbelievably driven and hard work. if you are a major star in the music business, you are worked like a dog. i can imagine when you add the pressure of live performing. whitney houston did little live performing, rarely went on tour. the reason why, she hadder the able anxiety. that in itself i'm sure fuelled her drug consumption to hide the anxiety. it builds up. what i have rarely seen are people taking responsibility

down the food chain from these rock stars because actually they just want their money. >> piers, can i ask you a question? >> sure. >> if i went to your house for dinner and you know i'm a recovering alcoholic and i ask for a glass of wine with dinner, what would you say? >> this to me comes to the absolute crux of this. because it's not like we are best friends or i know you that well. but i do know that you are a recovering addict. i've talked to you on the show about this before in depth and i know it is crucial to you that you stay on the straight and narrow. i think i would feel a responsibility not to give you that drink and -- >> that's what needs to happen. >> i think more people need to do that. if it was a very good friend of mine, absolutely no way. what staggers me about whitney houston is she was right at the end surrounded by very, very close people to her. that she has known a long time. who know her issues and are allowing her to carry on.

that, to me, is inexcusable. >> that's the right answer. >> whitney houston twice the week before she died was seen drinking in major los angeles hotel at 10:00 in the morning, complaining about the drinking not being strong enough. rolling out of nightclubs in the early hours with what looks like blood, may have been red wine dripping down her legs, drinking champagne all night with people who pop up on television saying she was fine. she's an addict doing this. >> there are pressures. there's enormous amount of pressures for all of us in life, in general. but who's going to be held accountable? obviously i have to hold myself accountable. i have to stay sober. i have a family and a lot of reasons to stay sober. most of all to myself, but who's accountable? who's handing these people champagne, alcohol, wine, pills, cocaine, who's writing the scripts, which people are

keeping them off and on the road. who are they and how can we hold them accountable? that's a question there. how can we hold them accountable? >> that is the key question. nikki sixx it has been fascinating. thank you for coming on. a great insight to the real issue here. thank you very much. >> thanks. coming up the man who says the worst thing about hitting rock bottom is there's another rock bottom waiting for you. it is daniel baldwin. it has microparticles so it enters the bloodstream fast and rushes relief to the site of your tough pain. it's proven to relieve pain twice as fast as before. bayer advanced aspirin.

first of all, let's get one thing straight. crack is king. i make too much money to ever smoke crack. let's get that straight. i don't do crack. i don't do that. crack is whack. >> stunning moment for whitney houston on abc in 2005. joining me is daniel baldwin. he's had his own battles with addiction but is sober now. he met whitney houston a number of times and said he doesn't think she wanted to get sober. what do you mean by that? why do you think she dwant to get sober. >> it is a program of action 0 sobriety, piers. the first three steps in the 12 steps require no action. they are decision and commitments that you make and then you have to put the things you learn in to action. from what i understand from people i have heard from and

obviously the outcome of the situation i don't think she was applying herself to maintain her sobriety. >> there are people tweeting me saying the woman carried on taking drugs, carried on drinking alcohol, why should we feel sorry for her? what's your reaction to that as a former addict? >> well, it's two-fold. it's a double-edged sword i should say. there is a side that makes me sad to see anyone die and succumb to this disease. the other side is i feel person for the worse for the person who doesn't have the kind of access that someone like i or whitney houston has. you brought up nikki sixx. back in the day when she was hotter, everyone and his brother didn't want to see this woman get sober. everyone tried to help her. at the end of the date it is your responsibility to make these changes and implement these things in your life.

obviously she didn't do so. so, no. -- >> when you met whitney, how did you find her? >> very engaging. she was -- once she warmed up a bit. i had some friends in the music business that knew her. i was able to speak with her a couple of times. a little bit shy but once she warmed up to you and felt safe, i guess, she was very a nice woman from what i saw. >> what nikki was saying is if you are in the business of entertainment there's a plethora of people around you, lawyers, accountants, managers, agents makeup artists, assistants, whatever it may be and everyone is relying on you, the talent, to make the money that pays their wages which reduces their tendency to say no or stop you from doing what you want because they may get fired.

this is a self perpetuating disaster in the making, especially if you are an addictive personality. >> remember something too, piers. not long ago i was on a set of a movie i was working on and someone approached me and said, hey, bro, i got it if you need it. he was fired the next day. he wasn't at work the next day because he was staying at a hotel i was staying at. i knew what he was talking about. he wanted to be cool and my buddy and enable me. he didn't come to work the next day. some people thought it was a harsh thing to do. i don't take chances with my sobriety. i'm a die-hard addict. the bottom would probably mean that i died and that's not worth it to me. so that guy is gone. he's off the set. if they don't like it too bad. i do my lines to do whatever i have to do to stay sober. she had that power. she would have eliminated them

from her life and they would have supplied her with the right people to work with. she didn't want that. she didn't want to be sober. >> are there people making money off of her record company, manager, do they have a duty of care to whitney houston, knowing she's an addict to stop her as it appears to be the case buying vast amounts of alcohol at 10:00 a.m. in a famous los angeles hotel, two mornings running, going to nightclubs in hollywood, drinking champagne publicly all night. all of this, if you were genuinely concerned about her, wouldn't you do something to stop this? >> yeah. you know, very few people have the guts to pull a cbs and say, you are off the show based on what you have been doing. we don't want anything to do with you even though the show is successful and we all know what i'm talking about. they could have easily turned around and said we're not recording with you anymore, we are not going to release your album or do anything unless you

get clean and sober. we will send an assistant that is a sober assistant and put you in rehab and sober living. she had access to all of this stuff. i'm very sad. don't come across if i sound hard but i'm loved at the loss that we will never heard this beautiful song bird that delighted us for years but at the end of the day it is her responsibility to stay sober. i'm not sad about the fact that she wasn't able to get it. just because she's famous, you know how many people die every day from this disease? thousands. >> let me ask, what was the tipping point for you? did you listen to people when you were an addict or in the end did it have to come from within? >> both of those. it has toe eventually come from within. i had gone to rehab to save a job. i had gone to rehab to save a relationship. i had gone to rehab because of my kids. i had never gone to rehab because i wanted to be sober.

i had never gone to meetings because i wanted to be sober and the key component was fear. i had never been of afraid of the drug before. i had never been afraid that i was going to die as a result but it got so bad for me at the end that i really did see the end coming. i knew that i was now -- there were no more bottoms that we talked about. there wasn't going to be an arrest anymore. it wasn't going to be the loss of the ability to make a living. it was going to be that i was going to die. >> you look at what happened to wit and think this but for the grace of god go i. >> no question. i could have easily been her. i had been in situations before where i felt i was going in to cardiac arrest. it was bad for me. you know, i had no choice. it was one of the other. i was going to live or die. >> thank you very much indeed. >> god bless. coming up next, orick nourm

that was rick santorum's hard-hitting ad aimed squarely at mitt romney. the candidate who was once an after thought is riding the latest surge in the up and down gop race. rick santorum is joining me now. man of the moment indeed, senator. you must be enjoying yourself, aren't you? >> i think it was that interview with karen and the kid that launched this, piers. >> don't make me feel uncomfortable about being the catalyst for all of this. i'm not sure if that plays well for me. i'm looking at a sea of polls which make good news for you. national republicans choice for nominee, santorum, the primary voters choice for nominee, santorum. obama v romney and santorum,

pretty level. even though you are ahead in most every poll most of the parties think that mitt romney will be the nominee. how do you explain that? >> well, i mean the establishment has always been for romney. that's who's backing him. it is funny the governor romney attacked us as the insider and we are not. i'm in fargo, north dakota today. i was in up in northwest north dakota, idaho yesterday, washington state the day before. we out working across the country. we have -- we are listening to the people here and trying to reflect the values that we hear, trying to address the concerns that people have about the role of government in their lives, particularly here -- i have heard the last few days the crushing impact of regulation on the energy industry and manufacturing and other places. will be at the detroit economic club doing the same thing tomorrow we will be out here talking about the issues,

instead of what seems to be a reinvention of the candidate every couple of weeks and attacking the candidate for things that are sort of specious. >> do you think that newt gingrich should pull out now as some people are suggesting today? >> no. i'm never going to suggest that anyone get in or out. that's their decision. as someone who got called on to get out of the race for a long time i'm a little sensitive when folks make that suggestion. >> the other thing that is going around today is when is rick santorum going to reveal his tax returns? you keep promising, but nothing has popped up yet? >> yeah, well. they are out right now. we just released them. i'm sure you will be getting them any minute now. we have been very forth right. we actually released four years of tax returns. i went back to every year that i have been in the private sector, 2007 and going forward.

i thought it was important to let folks know what i have done after i was in congress. frankly, i didn't keep the ones before that. i probably should have. they would be a lot more modest than the ones i have had afterwards. we worked very hard. i worked in many cases six, seven jobs in a year, did a lot of traveling and giving speeches and i thought, for me, i felt very successful in making money. also, was very successful in paying taxes. i think our tax rates were between 25 and 28%. i was paying in taxes, which, you know, i do my own taxes and maybe i didn't have the -- used all of the deductions and exclusions thatty could have but i was trying to be as straightforward as i could and paid the taxes that i thought i owed. >> how much money have you earned in those four years?

>> qucumulatively, a little ove $3 million in those four years. >> pretty successful. >> i feel very blessed. i had a couple of setbacks. we purchased a house after i left the senate and we wanted to move and get a much bigger house for our family with the seven kids. that house has lost 40% of its value. so i had to do a lot of paying down of debt to keep my mortgage payments down and to get my -- i suffered what a lot of people did. i took a lot of that money and paid down a rather significant mortgage to the point where i was -- my mortgage was still below the value of my house. that's been a bit of a hit for us. i have two kids in college and a child with a disability and needing care. we have had some expenses, and we have been very blessed to have the opportunity to handle

those and still be on, in the black. >> obviously, you have earned considerably less governor romney, and yet you have paid a higher tax rate it seems from what you have been saying. how do you think the public will react to that? >> well, all of my income is earned income. i have very little -- i don't know if i have any dividend income or couple hundred dollars of interest income, no capital gains to speak of income. i don't have any income that would come from investments or wealth. almost 90 plus percent of the money that's on the tax returns, i went out and earned. as a result, i'm paying social security taxes on them. i'm paying all of the other taxes that come when you have earned income. that's why i end up paying a higher rate of taxation. >> what do you think your returns say about you as an american?

how would you summarize them? >> i have been very blessed. i've said that all along. i have been very blessed to have tremendous opportunities. i was really just a grunt lawyer in a big law firm in pittsburgh and decided i ought to run for congress. almost an impossible situation and the people of southwestern pennsylvania did me a great honor by letting me represent them in congress. really, from that point on, i had a lot of electoral success and reached the point at the age of 48 where i lost my race. i have to say in many respects -- i always say to the people of pennsylvania didn't always give me what i wanted but gave me what i needed and in retrospect it is probably the best thing that could have happened to get away from washington and get perspective on things. i spent three years in a it will hl technology company, being the number two guy there trying to take the company to market. i did some work in the media, writing, critiquing what was going on in public policy and

looking outside from opposed to the inside. i did a lot of speaking and going out and meeting and talking to folks in the country. it was an opportunity get a lot of different life experiences in the private sector. i think that's made me a better candidate coming forward here for president. >> let's take a break. i want to talk to you about, i suppose, one of the big concerns right now. if rick santorum becomes president does he actually like women?

my special guest republican presidential candidate rick santorum. i left viewers on a knife's edge there. does rick santorum like women? i know you do and you have many lovely women in your family that i met but there is a perception that some of your views on social issues come pretty close to being anti- what a lot of women would want from their president. the first i would address is the issue of contraception. judging by stuff you said in 2006 and various clarifications, it would seem to me, correct me if i am wrong, that your view of contraception that basically it is wrong outside of marriage. is that what your position is on this? >> that's the catholic church's position period, that it's wrong. i'm a catholic. i subscribe to the teachings of

the church. that's my personal view. it's the view of my wife and i think everybody's entitled to their religious believes. living those religious believes out. but that's not the issue. the issue is, as a public servant how do i feel about the issue of contraception. it should be available. i object to when the federal government says that religious organizations who feel the way that the catholic church feels should be required to provide it. i that is an infringement on their personal liberty but as far as contraception, if you look at my voting record, i have a voting record that has supported funding for contraception, domestically and internationally and i would not support any law that would put any restrictions on that but what you have in your personal life and how you live your personal life, i think people should respect that. they may disagree with it in their own personal life, but that's fine.

i have certainly done nothing in my public career that i would want to restrict that for anybody. >> we had a debate about an issue of prescription drugs. and the reason i want to put one question to you is america's losing a lot of big stars to prescription drugs, michael jackson, whitney houston now it appears the same. in britain, amy winehouse. there is a growing sense there needs to be kind of new regulation to stop this kind of epidemic of celebrity being able to get to a lot of different doctors and having a lot of different prescriptions and no one actually knowing how many they are getting in totality and this leading to these awful deaths. what do you think? >> you know, you see this problem on the screen where folks who are very famous -- as you know, in your own country you go back to the examples of the ars tockcy and the impact on

the rest of society throughout the history of brit en and vice-versa when the aristocracy. the celebrities are the queens and kings of our society and they have a huge impact on our society. much more than any other group, certainly more than a politician does. that's why this is to disturbing. you see in a sense the royalty of america setting such a poor example and being troubled by these things that obviously it's going to have a downstream effect and a very harmful downstream effect. i wish i could say i knew the answer. there are already prescription drugs. obviously health care providers have a responsibility as providers of those things and insurance companies and doctors and looking at the prescriptions, look at the utilization of these drugs and doctors themselves to practice

the hippocratic oath of not doing harm. >> do you think there should be perhaps a new look at this? do you think there should be more controlledlati regulation this, where you can go to 20 doctors if you want to. >> it shouldn't be accepted practice. again, you have in place the opportunity with electronic medical records to get information as to what prescriptions this person is on and the frequency of the taking of these prescriptions, at least what they are purchasing. this should not be a problem. this should be something that is clearly a problem of doctors doing for some that they know is wrong to do, and i'm not too sure how you fix that problem, other than prosecuting the doctors and you saw in the case of michael jackson that's exactly what happened. >> senator santorum, thank you

>> if i was still judging america's got talent you would be a big favorite of mine. >> thank you so much. >> you have an amazing talent. what do you think of whitney houston? she was something special to you, right? >> she has a rich voice. she means a lot to me an anytime i hear on the radio or in a music video, her heart connects with mine and i tend to cry. >> how did you feel when you heard she died. >> i was heart broken. i wasn't expecting this. she was really good. she was an icon to me and the world too. >> were you watching the grammys. >> i actually was, yeah. >> when you saw yourself coming out on a bus singing like adele, what did you think? >> it appeared unexpectedly. it just came like that. i was jumping in and out. my mom was there and i'm like, mo, mo, that is me on the tv and she saw me
