Jessie J explains Whitney Houston encounter
Domino singer Jessie J has revealed how she met with the legendary singer Whitney Houston on the night before she was found dead in her hotel room. Jessie J was one of the people to perform at Clive Davis's annual pre-Grammys party and was introduced to Whitney Houston by her daughter Bobbi Kristina during rehearsals for her performance.
Jessie J explained, "She was like, 'My mum is here and wants to meet you'. Whitney was one of my huge inspirations. I've always spoken about her. She made me proud to have a powerful voice. There's a lot in the industry that isn't about vocals and Whitney Houston was all about that - that's what I'm trying to carry on."
She added, "I was very proud to be representing the UK on such a kind of memorable night. Whitney Houston is someone that will never be forgotten and her music will live on forever." Jessie J has also recently admitted that he number one track Domino was actually inspired by the classic Whitney Houston track I Wanna Dance With Somebody.
