Anyone watching? Clive Davis locked arm in arm with I presume his partner during the Dionne tribute was surprising? I thought Meg Ryan looked really good. I'm going to hold out for Queen Latifah and then call it quits.

Not watching, they make some poor choices with their honors.

This is the very first year I will miss in many yrs. Latifah makes a mockery of the intent of JFK to honor great artists and their art.

Rene Fleming tribute was sublime. Latifah was ...meh. I'm watching for Dionne and Billy Crystal. I'm glad I caught Rene Fleming, though.

Who is the sour-puss behind Crystal?

I'm waiting for the Barry Gibb segment.

Clive Davis, ugh. He didn't have the decency to cancel a party when his former client Whitney Houston lay dying on another floor of the hotel.

Oh no! Lin Manuel Miranda! I gotta go take out the garbage.

I thought the show came on at 9PM. I caught part of Latifah and then the Opera singer,. Gloria Estefan looks not so good. Barry Gibb was hot! Damn he looked good when he was young.

Gladys Knight could use the gain of a few pounds. I hope she isn't ill.

I am even enjoying Michael Buble and Ben Platt for once. The Bee Gees did do some great songs.

Anyone know where can I See Billy Crystal and Dionne? I need to find their segments. Is it streaming yet? I looked at CBS On Demand but there's nothing.

R11, I remember there being talk of Gladys’s health as far back as when Aretha died.

Dione was the first segment. Billy Crystal was second. Both were really good. This Honors broadcast has been one of the best.

I watched Dionne's and I have to say, that I didn't care for the performances except for Cynthia Erivo. I Don't know why, but I was hoping the Billy Crystal segment would feature...Billy Crystal videos. Meg Ryan and Rob Reiner were f ine, but I wanted Billy.

The only decent Latifah contribution to American culture.

Gladys looked frail.

Ryan looked great.

Bublé bumbled How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.

That's all I've got.

R7, Cancel it?! The party was the point! Jennifer Hudson performed, was essentially anointed, as the Heiress to Whitney, whose body was then mere floors above her.

Nobody else has ever learned what was in the note a distraught Whitney barged into the interview to hand Brandy the night before she, Whitney, died.

Bobbi Kristina almost drowned in her tub in that hotel the day before. And she did drown in her home bathtub three years later.

I think BK was supposed to be that Grammy's sacrifice, scared the bejeezus out of her mother who decided to offer up herself instead, and the rest is musical history.

This CBS production sure felt the need to repeatedly show its news anchor, Norah O’Donnell, swaying & dancing in the audience.

I've never been a huge Cynthia Erivo fan, but her version of Alfie was FUCKING FLAWLESS. Had me in tears.

R26, I like Cynthia Erivo, and she did a wonderful job, but honestly no one can sing that song but Dionne. She owns it. IMO it is her signature song. And it always makes me cry.
