Before my prediction on Music's Biggest Night tomorrow morning, this morning, we are all shocked on sudden passing of one of the most influential singers and one of the best of our time, Whitney Houston. She was found dead in her hotel in LA around 3:55 p.m. PT (7:55 a.m. here) so, RIP Whitney Houston. Yep, we lose another legend here. Thanks for contributing to the music world. You will be missed.
