captions paid for by nbc-universal television hello, everybody. it's monday and usually it's fun day monday, february 13th, the day after the grammy awards. not such a fun day today, though. last night at the grammys, you probably saw an amazing tribute to an amazing musical legend. >> mm-hmm. >> whitney houston. we're all remembering her today. we all have different memories of an incredible talent. >> she was 48 years old.
2:06 am
when you share someone's birthday, we have the same birthday but a year apart, but when i heard the news, it was one of those things you had to go i'm sure i heard that wrong. it was on the radio at the time or someone heard something. you saw her on the mend. like i remember seeing her on oprah, john robertson interviewing her. we'd seen her at her lowest and you thought she was mending. so sad. >> a lot of people were saying they were stunned and shocked. but then there would be an afterthought, which is not surprised. people who knew her well. we don't know all the facts and it will be several weeks before toxicology reports but in the last two years she was open about her addictions and tragically open about them, you know. >> right. tmz and other sites are reporting she was found in a bathtub, that there were prescription medicines like xanax and stuff there. again, toxicology reports take a long time to come back. >> yeah.
2:07 am
>> they take several weeks. but, you know, you hear what a lot of friends are saying. it was just so hard to hear that. funny about her voice because there are very few voices when you walk by a radio or something, you go, that's whitney. other people, you go, who is that? is that so-and-so? on shows like "american idol" or other shows they're, like, what are you doing singing whitney? no one sings whitney like whitney. >> let's take a listen to her. this is from "the bodyguard" of course. ♪ i will always love you i will ♪ i will always love you i will always love you i will always love you ♪ >> unbelievable. >> so pure. so pure.
2:08 am
who didn't love that movie with kevin costner there. some of the things you hear from different people, the producer of the sound track and album i think held the record for sales until "the titanic" soundtrack came out. but he had great memories of working with her. we haven't heard what kevin costner has had to say about whitney. he's a very private guy. maybe he's just keeping it private within the family. >> i had vh1 on. you could watch cnn or whatever. i chose to watch vh1 to see the videos. there are certain videos when you see them, it takes you back to a place -- there's one that makes me -- every time i hear it i want to dance, "i want to dance with somebody," her hair and the whole thing, from the '80s. i was watching this and i thought, come on, you cannot stay still with this song on. and look at her. it takes you back to that time in your life. >> so many have tried to copy. she was so young when we first
2:09 am
met whitney, 18 years old, clive davis found her. she came from a very, very successful musical family. we all know about her heritage. but she was the perfect combination it seemed of youthful vitality, raw, magnificent talent and incredible natural beauty. >> gorgeous. i don't think -- her smile rivals -- very rarely do you see a smile like farrah fawcett. like hers. i think our president has a smile like that where you just, whoa, golly, is every single tooth perfect in there? and she was the real deal. i first met her when she was performing for the special olympics held in minneapolis. never seen anybody work so hard. it was a huge crowd out there. but she was soaked. i mean, as if she'd been swimming when she came off stage. she gave absolutely everything. >> mm-hmm.
2:10 am
>> you know, it just breaks your heart. i loved what barbara streisand said. she said something like -- i'm paraphrasing and i shouldn't. i wish i had the exact worlds. but basically we wish she could have found the happiness from her beautiful gift that we found in her gift. that it just wasn't enough for her somehow. and that's just -- that must be the definition of tragedy. >> yeah. >> you know, somebody has what seems like everything. >> yeah. >> but not what they really want most of all. >> yeah. yeah. you're right. it was interesting at the grammys last night. i turned them on and i wanted to know what they were going to do. i thought they did a beautiful job. ll cool j was fantastic. >> right tone. >> and it was fun, but when you listened to jennifer hudson sing that whitney song, and i couldn't -- >> it was a dolly parton song. >> right, right. written by dolly and she sang it. but it was one of those things when you watch that --
2:11 am
♪ i will always love you i will always love you ♪ >> beautiful. >> you know, a very difficult position to be put in with very little notice. she handled it with great grace. >> yeah. >> she didn't oversing it. she didn't try to -- >> and i loved watching the grammys. i love the people who stand there and sing. >> yeah. >> no fire. no dancing. >> they don't need pyrotechnics. >> adele. just stood there and sang. it was awesome. jennifer hudson and adele. >> game over. and alicia keys and bonnie raitt. >> nothing against things on fire and flipping around, but, boy, you really see it when you see real talent like that. >> this is one of the first grammys in a long time that i enjoyed. i don't know why.
2:12 am
>> yes. >> somebody was saying around here, i think it was keith, one of our dressers, saying lately he feels like he's one of those muppet guys, the two old guys that sit in the balcony and go, i don't know, who's that? oh, my god i hate that. but last night there was a lot of talent on display. >> how about the beach boys? >> i did like the older performers a lot better, i got to admit. the big boys kicked it, "good vibrations." just them going bop, bop, come on, get out of here. of course it was adele's big night, lady gaga, a new verb, lady gaga got adeled. it's a verb. six times. >> yes, she did. adele just rocked it. it was a great night for her. how fun to be her on that night. >> she seemed grateful. she seemed grateful to have her voice back. the reaction of the crowd. you know what, she did seem happy to be there. >> she seemed humbled and almost embarrassed, one of my favorite
2:13 am
traits. >> was it three years ago she was first on our program with us. you and i went crazy for her. never met her before, never heard of her. thought she was amazing. and she was the sweetest, most down to earth and doesn't look like she's changed at all. unlike others who shall remain nameless. >> who are totally different than they used to be. >> we have a tribute to glenn campbell. suffering with alzheimer's. ♪ like a rhinestone cowboy oh, yeah ♪ ♪ like a rhinestone cowboy >> beautiful. that particularly killed me. he was a great studio musician for years before he ever became a performer himself. went through all kinds of his own demons with addiction and
2:14 am
living in the tabloids. and, you know, there's a happy ending. it's ultimately going to be tragic, but right now he's awesome. he got a lot of help. he just wished somebody who loved whitney could have found her -- you know, we always say this about the ones that are troubled. somebody around her and has access to her, love her enough to get her well. and her daughter is now 18. >> yeah. >> consent. even if somebody wants to help with problems in the future. when you're an adult, you make your own choices. >> they say you have to be ready for someone to help you. >> this says it all. the contrast between "the new york post" and the "daily news." >> two whitneys, both displayed on these last two covers. anyway, well, we were gone for a while. we were in the bahamas. >> yes. >> and we still feel a little bit of the afterglow of the sunshine and all that. >> not really. >> 27 degrees here.
2:15 am
but we're not complaining. we were at the atlantis, and -- >> we want to thank everybody for their hospitality down there. the junkanoo band called colors. this is me -- >> i'm in pink. >> whipping your -- oh, and hoda finally -- hoda ate it. >> that thing you were seeing was -- what was it called? >> aphrodisiac. called a pistol. anything that has the word pis-tol in it, run away. the main reason i wouldn't eat it was not being mean to hoda, although that was part of it, was that people were afraid it wasn't going to show up well enough on the plate. so everybody on our crew came by, picked it up and put it on a different plate. >> dark plates. >> manhandled them. i'm going, no way. >> down the hatch. right down. >> it's supposed to be an aphrodisiac. did it work? >> that's what i've heard. anyway, we also had fun with the dolphins. shoutout to sasha. >> our favorite part was swimming.
2:16 am
we kissed a girl and we liked it. >> she was precious. >> so sweet. we had a wonderful time. >> thank you to everybody. >> it's a big day around here because joy, as you know, reached her 25,000-pound weight loss goal. >> hey. >> now we've got the winners. right? >> we do. we had hundreds and hundreds of entries. i've got to say i'm glad i was not the one to judge because i would have said everybody. but you are going to call the first winner today. >> let me ask you -- >> hi, penny. >> penny! >> we're going to hear you. we're going to hear your story more on thursday when you're with us. how much have you lost total? >> 19 pounds. >> i bet you lose another pound before you get here. >> tuesday is weigh day so i'm not jinxing myself. but i lost three more pounds last tuesday. >> well, good for you. >> we cannot wait to meet you when you come to see us. >> you're going to have a great time.

2:24 am
>> here with us is singer darlene love, a very close family friend to whitney. in los angeles, billboard magazine's editorial director, bill. how you doing? >> tough to say good morning. it's a tough morning, isn't it? >> yeah, but we have to stay up. we have to stay positive. because the way i heard, i was working in new jersey and a group of six of us went out to dinner. we were laughing and talking about my christmas show. i said, you know what, i'm going to call nippy this week -- her nickname for us -- and have her be in my show. let me just do something. the couple next to us were laughing and having so much fun. finally we said, oh, yeah, jumped in our conversation, now you talking about whitney. they said, no, no, no, she just died. >> a horrible way of hearing. >> i was, like, huh? >> and you were always a very fierce defender of whitney's. there were tabloid headlines all over the place and you spent a lot of time saying -- you know, really fighting for her. >> cissy houston used to say, girl, you always got your shield up when it comes to my baby. i did.
2:25 am
i've known her since she was 8 years old. >> when you have the personal relationship it's different than, like, bill. did you also know her? >> not personally, no, just from her enormous presence on our charts. >> do you think she'll be remembered for her triumphs or her tragedies? >> i think once the dust settles on these things and sort of all the little details get sorted out, there's no question it's going to be about the music. she just leaves behind such an amazing legacy of songs. honestly, there's a feeling that's happening where radio everywhere is paying a ton of music and vh1 is playing whitney videos around the clock. it's a healing process that
2:26 am
happens when an artist dies. >> it's heartbreaking, darlene. she was going to go to the grammys party, the big clive davis party, everyone wants it, the hottest ticket in town. it's hard to be one that sort of seems like the world looks at you as if your career is in the past and there's -- but she had things to look forward to even then. >> she did. even though people said her voice was not what it was, none of our voices are what they were. yes, hers had changed and she was working her way back. that's the sad part. >> give us a little window into whitney. we know her from tv. we watched videos of her and in the church and growing up. tell us something about her. >> i met her because i worked with dionne warwick for ten years, dionne, cissy, we were background singers. whenever we would come back to new york to work, i would stay at cissy's house. where you staying? i guess i'll sleep in this room. she always called me auntie. you can sleep in my room. you can take care of my room. the wonderful thing about her, i was pregnant with my last child when i was on the road with dionne the last time. nippy would come in and say, okay, auntie, what you want?
2:27 am
she was like 8, 9 years old. can i get you something? during that time, i wanted any kind of fruit. i said if i could get some fruit i'd love it. even though she'd gone to the store to get the fruit to bring it back to me, you know, a half hour later, she'd go, you need something else? you okay? >> quite the mentor to other young performers also, we hear, right, bill? >> oh, god, yeah. there's certainly not an r&b singer and probably not a pop singer that doesn't owe an enormous debt to whitney houston. just turn on any of the tv competition shows like "idol" or whatever and on any given night you'll see a dozen people trying very hard to sound like whitney houston and ultimately probably not doing so well with it. >> yeah. yeah. >> always better to be just the best "you" you can be. >> that's right. >> thank you, bill. >> thanks, bill. >> thank you, darlene. very sorry for your loss. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back with more
