Can you imagine he was speaking like this while her dead body was in the room a few floors up????!!! What a damn shame!!
Whitney always called him her industry father, however, this man shows no remorse, sadness, grief etc I know everyone handles grief differently but he comes across as cold, he definitely had something to do with that woman’s death
He prepared this speech just hours after her death? it's as if he knew it beforehand because he was the one who planned it. This man is a devil.
Hes a fkn song writer how long can a speech take him?😂
@@dandougie363 Clive is not a songwriter nor has he ever written or produce any song ever. He was the ceo of Arista, Whitney's music label
Wow!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing like Whitney just passed away yet you had time to write a speech? Which btw he showed zero empathy in that speech and the fact the party still went on with Whitney’s body upstairs is pure evil. He’s the actual devil. 👿
A man who is genuine and truly cared would NOT need to read a script to say how he feels, he would speak from the heart and show emotion, but I see none here at all and only a matter of hours after her death, it's wrong on all levels and that damn party should've been cancelled out of respect. My gut tells me he knew and didn't give a damn coz he knew much more money he'd be getting from all the post-death sales etc. You might think oh he's rich anyway why would he care about money but these greedy music elites want more n more at any cost. Disgusting.
+Scrimmy Pops Whitney was right upstairs, 4 floors about them...dead. All of them at that party are sick and should be ashamed of themselves.
+DetroitLives313 Yeah its dispicable for sure. Hopefully karma is a bitch to these assholes.
*****
I do too. I was most surprised at Diana Ross grinning and having a good ole time like the head witch.
Do you see the devil spelled backwards in "clivedavis" ?
Whitney you are a talent that will never be forgotten
he had a note prepared.....hmmm.
Juan Brown Right
IKR
It amazes me the way HE READS THAT PIECE OF PAPER WITHOUT ANY KIND OF EMOTIONS OR SADNESS? Can't you fucking tell?!
This old man acts like a heartless robot.... HE'S PURE EVIL!
MY GOD,., This was wrong on every level. Makes me sick that a party went on while Whitney lay dead on the next floor. This was disrespect of the highest order- shame on you clive davis.
NicoleLee Caudil The party was already planned and ready to go as always so they weren't going to cancel it.
I So Agree
The death was planned too...
l Os .. Yes you right about that! And Jaguar Wright And Leola Brown which is Bobby’s sister is trying to tell the people what happened to Whitney .. And All points to CD RIP Whitney 🕊
Clive is a gangsta! These guys are hit men.. when Whitney passed it was a celebration for these killers.
Here's how I read the speech: We have all learned about the unspeakable (even though I'm speaking it) news of Whitney. I don't have to mask my lack of emotions, not in front of this room, with so many consciously devoid friends. I do have a very heavy wallet and I am personally devastated by the loss of future profits. Whitney was so full of potential profit...(Oh, Sony put up the price of her albums on news of her death, but changed and apologised after it was spotted, woopsy!)
I am so blessed to have been born in the generation that saw the beginning and rise of Whitney. I was completely blown away by her beauty and talent watching her as a young girl. The first song I ever heard her sing was saving all my love. When I saw the music video I was a forever fan. I will never forget Whitney. She is herself a legacy.
Whitney's songs bring back so many memories...some good, some not so good. The first time I saw her was when I was stationed in Germany. I was on post at an eatery when, on the big screen behind the counter, her video How Will I Know came on....knocked my socks off and I've been in love with her ever since. Bobby Brown was the beginning of the end for her. I thought the pre-Grammy party should have been cancelled and have a tremendous amount of respect for those who did not attend.
i was so devastated myself when i heard the news. i cried hard of her passing despite the fact that she don't have any idea of my existence. for years her songs have always been an inspirations and my comfort zones in times of my down moments and that i don't know why. i was so attached to her music since i was 8 years old and even until now. now that she is gone, i feel like having a wall at my back smashed into pieces and nothing to lean on. i love her music despite how it had deteriorated.
When we grow up listening to an artists music such as Whitney, their spirit becomes part of us. And when they die, part of us dies with them. How these people found it to be appropriate to continue to party in this circumstance is so revealing.
Clive Davis said: "Whitney was so full of life. She was so looking forward to tonight even though she wasn't scheduled to perform."....she wasn't scheduled to perform."... Mean what to Whitney??? :( ...R.I.P Whitney ! You are best voice ever ! :))
@Dutchmusicfan1992: You are so right. Chaka Khan is the only one who seems to tell the truth. The emotion in her voice and the pain in her voice was evident love for Whitney. Yes, Chaka, it was INSANE for Clive to continue the party. No words...no words...
I would have felt really weird throwing a party under someone who just died. I wonder if anyone that was at the party felt weird and left or wanted to leave
U don't stop.to live for a crackhead. And she was not scheduled to perform
I've been in a situation like this, the planned party becomes the perfect wake, a way for those left to grieve. Almost perfect
@@antimatterwave3747 Yes she actually was scheduled to perform. And why do you feel the need to be so unnecessarily rude just because she was an addict doesn't make her a bad person
So many people hate on the guests but I don’t want to judge them because I don’t know their hearts. Maybe they felt like they had to be there to honor her somehow, the way Alicia Keys did with her music.
On the strength of how much money Whitney Houston has made for clive Davis throughout her career alone, he should've had more respect for her. It just goes to show that those record labels don't give a damn about the artists
Wow..I am saddened by the loss of Whitney Houston and I can't stop from fallen from my eyes..I like to personally thank you for gracing us with her voice...Yes Jesus LOVES WHITNEY..Another one Gone Too Soon...We will alway love you....
HOW WILL I KNOW, The GREATEST LOVE OF ALL.
I GET SO EMOTIONAL EVERY TIME I THINK OF YOU, and I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!!
RIP WHITNEY
R.I.P my love, i just dont know how im gonna be without you now.
He displayed no shame or decency! That letter was written a while ago... He never missed a beat. Then had the nerve to talk business at her funeral. No emotions, none!
when did he get the time to sit down and write a speech ? if someone is that dear to you , you would just talk cause you know how you really feel !!!
Looks like it was all plan!
This is the comment I was looking for!
I may never stop crying....I don't want her to be gone...
I will always love you Whitney and Pray for your family left behind, a angel never to be forgotten.
Whitney I will always remember you for your great years you are a great talent and will be greatly missed
I agree cancel the affair, having a party the night of, come on! Parties are nothing, especially a pre-grammy party, then party, then post-party, then, come on! It was a pre. Cancel the thing.
"Whitney's family told Clive to go on with the party"..that part smell like bull-SHIT..why would her family tell him to keep having a party while someone whom was an ICON may I add was upstairs already dead..uhm Bobby Kris cursing out and fighting w the police to see her mom's body don't sound like permission to me, Dionne getting turned away for reasons that are STILL unknown don't sound like permission to me..Whitney's death DO NOT sound right and IDGAD what ANYbody on here say
RIP whitney you were the greatest and always will be
WOWWWW!!!! THANK YOU
I sure hope that don't file this case away.....if they do.....I and all of you should consider this a cold case file.....and demand a through INVESTIGATION......I mean like needle and pin everyone that had last contacts with her.....and screw everybody minds till they confess...something fishy about this whole case.
Because the power of music and song is something that we can all relate to. It is not just about the singer, but the song and how individuals correlate that to their own personal experiences. Moreover, I think so many of us were pulling or Whitney. I honor soldiers as well, but lets not take away one persons glory for the sake of another, there is plenty enough to go around. Love you Whitney!~
@elijah7k: Now, maybe people have a glimpse of what Whitney was experiencing - the hypocrisy of the music industry. The greatest singer of all time, Whitney Houston, was just found dead in her hotel room - and the party must go on? No amount of money should have prevented Clive Davis from cancelling the party. Whitney would not have wanted the party to continue - not like that - with her body still in the hotel. That is gruesome...utter disrespect...scary
that is sick, as soon I heard this I was just...... I mean their FIRST priority should have been whitney, Meaning that make sure that whitney's body was being taken care, looking out for bobbi kristina, but oh no.......let's have a party, drink and talk. This shows you how people are in the damn industry. Hell i dont even know if I want to have a career that will make me famous because I dont want to be around people like clive davis, I dont judge people but DAMN
to whitney houston whose songs are now bellowing in heaven... may you rest now from the strifes of life. rest now whitney for i will not forget you... Dear Lord soothe her soul for it has been mangled due to despair. make her whole again. she died with her songs bellowing your name... may you give her what is due for her in your side... i love you whitney and forever will be...
Hmmmmmmm? If I'm not mistaken, while this party was going on....her body was layin' STILL inside the room, right? I mean that's what the media said AND it is quite strange he had a SPEECH already made for this. WEIRD if u asked me. JUST SAYIN'
R.I.P. OUR QUEEN WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!
O M G... I cant at some of these comments.....
He can't have been that broke up if he managed this polished speech in hours? I'd have expected something a little looser, more off the cuff - maybe even more emotional. Maybe that's just me. Who would have complained had he said the party is off?
I wouldn't take his reaction to heart, despite how he felt about Whitney he is still a business man and she made him a lot of money....money wins
i can't believe it... he talking & Whitney a floors above laying dead.... absolute DEVIL Clive IS...
R.I.P WHITNEY AND BOBBI.🥰🥰🥰🥰😇😇
no tears?
R.I.P I will ALWAYS love you
Celebrity world is cold hearted.
@afraidofspiders: This was a party. A party. Any party can be stopped. And this one should have been cancelled out of respect for Whitney. Its' not only that she died..but her body was still in the hotel. That was insane...it was morbid. It was extremely disrespectful. Yes, thousands of children are dying, and you can believe there is no party going on for them. Why is it so difficult for some people to see the inhumanity of Clive's actions?
Clive seemed oddly prepared for that damn speech.. some shady Sh**t aint right with him and them bodyguards.
i did not judge her despite of what she had become and i remain hopeful that one day she and her music will return. i don't idolize her like a God but i so wanted to be a friend to her. a friend that she can talk to when she is down. i was saddened by how other people had mangled her lately. yes it is true that her acts lately are awful but we did not realize that it was these times that she held on to us to let her stand again yet we left her out of nowhere. look how unruly we have become.
I don't know why people engage with freaks of nature, but anyhoo,I'm pissed off with this Clive Davis individual who supposedly 'loved' Whitney so dearly but continued to get his party on right beneath Whitney's dead body, with dear friends like these who needs enemies.
Just say you sacrificed her bro
Clive Davis murmured Whitney Houston because he then no longer could control her. Publishing, is a powerful thing to have authority of in the music industry. Whitney’s daughter- died exactly in the same manner Whitney died. Clive Davis in the meantime- still- is enjoying the success he achieved thanks to -- Whitney. Dilemma.
I would have canceled the party and allowed people to gather and take turns sharing their Whitney moments if they wanted to. I would not have a party, while her dead body is still in the room or bathtub laying there cold while they drank and danced and were entertained. HOW RUDE.
Why didn't Clive cry? I know I do alot and would have been if I had been there. Clive are U that heartless, I mean come on your meant to love Whitney aren't U, she wasn't just there to be used for your money she was a sweet person and loving lady and mother? :(
Clive Davis discovered fire.
@theIRSfamily also he stated the family members said to go onwith the party . which family member 2 hrs after she died would take the time to consider whether the party was a good idea. Bobbi kristina gave him permission , her mom , Dionne - who gave their blessing to this party
She is laying dead a few floors above you. How could u! Why would you!
He didn't care of her death he just care about the money her body was up stairs in the living room
RIP from Belgium
@anderiiias: This is not the forum for this. By her music Whitney Houston had a huge impact on millions of people..now...and in the future. The government does not respect or acknowledge the sacrificies of our soldiers. Complain to your president. Of course, there are many who deserve tributes and sympathy. Whitney Houston is one of them.
Well Said Clive
@kira24ist: Clive Davis' actions were reprehensible. No amount of money should have prevented him from cancelling the party. Whitney was his goddaughter. The lack of respect shown by Clive to Whitney Houston was beyond my comprehension. Yes, life goes on..but honor the dead.
@ReinibaChan did you know Whitney personally?
@mariewilder I'm a whitney H. fan& all her fans did the same thing as you:googled her &listened to her musicCONSTANTLYafter her death(n b4).The sad thing is that life goes on,but we should never forget them&in the music biz the show must go on.WH wasn't the only person invited to the party,their life goes on too.its life&sad.AnywayI'm showingRESPECTto her by showing respect to the person she cared the most bc he had to be someone important to her to give him the title godfather. just my opinion.
That was nice of him to take his time out to show respect
Yea why wouldn't they just cancel the party
@ReinibaChan I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! GONE WAY TOO SOON!!!
@gangstakendoll: It's painful to admit. But, I agree, something is not right about Whitney's death. There are so many conflicting stories about her mannerisms before she died. Some of her friends swear there was nothing wrong - Whitney seemed fine and happy. Others say she was drinking, etc. I don't know what happened but something doesn't sit right with me.
@ArtistCornerLive ok before she died she sold more than 170 MILLION (thats a HELL of alot) but now that she's dead and ALL her music has basically sold out add ANOTHER 170 MILLION PLUS thats a hell of alot of money..theres more to EVERYTHING thats going on right now and the media trying to throw everything off track but I'm interested in this stuff so I do my research and keep tabs on everything thats going on
@lword1970 I agree with you whole heartedly. How 'bout use the podium to let people share their favorite Whitney moments. Not just keep singing and drinking like it was cool and the greatest female singer of all time didn't just die180 minutes earlier.
@Odedephraim you have a point
@mariewilder TRUE..
LeeLee goes on about Clive Davis in several other posts too. So much in fact it appears that she's got the hots for the Clivester.
@TheDickey747 agreed!!!
If Whitney lived to see the Grammys, she would of been so devastated by Nicki Minaj's performance! It was so embarrassing to watch that I wish I had never seen it
@Doorocker: Yes, it was.
He's reading all that stuff off a cue card
he has the right to mourn how he feels...plus is also whitney probably wanted them to go on
@dazjah00 ugh you read my comment wrong - I'm on your side.
@ailynlasvegas Iit's not my intention to get into an argument with you but we don't know what Whitney would have wanted after passing.
I believe that when we died our spirits go on but maybe after realizing how valuable life is... yes I have studied this and as a Catholic and proudly so I have learned from theologians, and other learned persons on the subject, human beings go through what is called a personal judgement and our understanding of life changes once we've died.
@mariewilder agree.
@gangstakendoll
something stinks about the whole situation. i have felt that way from the beginning. that clive man is fishy looking, and why was he not concerned of where she was? he knew he was having a drinking party, and so duh when he seen that she was no longer at the party, why did he not inquire about her? see something very fishy about this man
@lword1970 SORRY.. your right i did your comment wrong..
What i dont understand is why so many gets sad about one singer who to be honest didnt change the world, soldiers who does much more dies every day, people in poor countries dies every day by the whim of some warlord just for more money. sure its sad but there are many more that deserves tributes and sympathy more
@theIRSfamily exactly
This tribute speech is awfully rehearsed for someone who just died suddenly a few minutes ago
Poor Clive Davis. For some reason, singers he signs and "produces" keep getting addicted to drugs. Coincidence?
@dazjah00 thats life as sad and ignorant as it may be. REAL love is more than skin because underneath it all our tears are the same and so our blood the same color... Hate shouldn't play part in death. I was taught by my daddy if you have nothing nice to say then keep the negativity to yourself.
@ILuVhEr30 he is full of it. if he really cared like she was a family member like they all love to say then you would be crushed. her body was still in the building. its almost sick. But as we know life goes on - apparently a day after monica and brandy went on with the video of their new song. its not odd but Brandy sauid Whitneywas a like a sister and monica said she was sooo close. I don;t know about you but when i lose someone and its so traumatic i dont go to work the next day.
😢😢😢😢
She wasn't even cold yet and they're holding this pre-Grammy party. Tsk tsk tsk...
Its over yall, just remember the word that came forth at the memorial. Prioritize your life. Seek the Kingdom of God and all of its righteousness. Live a life that will bring Glory to God, a life pleasing unto him. Remember, we will all die and stand before our Creator, Our Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ.
its so creepy that fact her body is upstairs. he is heartless
And then the party continued downstairs......
Bobby spent it w homies on the same lifestyle as elliott spent new york state credit. We owe. B.kristina owes
@mariewilder Apparently, you don't know much.The goddaughter was Bobbi Kristina. He did honor her by giving that speech&before that by trying to bring her back to the spotlight for us when she was gone for such a long time.He helped her go back to what she loved doing the most which was singing.She even talks about this in her interview w/Oprah.Go watch how she treats him when she handed Brandy the last note(whose contents are unknown).
How she treats him? With a hug and tells her daughter to say hello to her godfather?
@LauraaBaybbiiee
Her SOUL rest in peace. Sole is the bottom of your shoe.
@gangstakendoll oh and my point of bringing Chris Brown and Rihanna up is because THEY BEEN TALKING TO EACH OTHER THIS WHOLE TIME we just didn't know that
@whitesoxfanforsure he got the industry wrapped around his finger no matter what label someone is signed too he got the upper hand bc his name is so big..its said that Whitney owned him alot of money, its also said her and Madonna had some kind of industrial beef whatever the case maybe the Grammys told us more than meets the eye only the TRUE eye openers can see that all this wasn't a coincidence.& as fans we deserve answers but yet their STILL talking about this womans past
@jacobR1377 Thanks JacobR1377...
