A quasi due anni dalla sua scomparsa, la Legacy Recordings pubblica il primo album live di Whitney Houston,  che raccoglie le sue performance live indimenticabili in un cd+dvd  "Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances".Â
Un viaggio attraverso la carriera di Whitney Houston: dal debutto al Merv Griffin Show nel 1983 come ragazzina prodigio, in cui interpretò Hometratta da "The Wiz", alla emozionante performance del 2009 di I Didn’t Know My Own Strength all'Oprah Winfrey Show.
6 Grammy Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, 16 Billboard Music Awards, 22 American Music Awards (ad oggi il record di AMA mai vinti da una voce femminile), e 170 milioni di album, singoli e video venduti in tutto il mondo, Whitney Houston è una vera icona della pop culture e "Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances" è l’ennesima dimostrazione del suo prodigioso talento, che rimarrà nella storia della musica per sempre.
Clive Davis, produttore del cd e dvd,  ha dichiarato: “Il CD/DVD live di Whitney lascerà tutti sbalorditi: dimostra senz'ombra di dubbio perché era assolutamente unica, tra gli artisti più rilevanti di sempre. Per me, è stato un lavoro molto emozionante. Questa selezione conferma chiaramente che non c'era davvero nessuno come lei, e rende fortemente dolorosa la tragedia di averla persa ad una così giovane età . Guardare il DVD è un'esperienza ipnotizzante. La sua voce incredibile e le canzoni che sono sopravvissute alla prova del tempo si uniscono riuscendo ad incantare visione dopo visione.â€
