Led by Whitney Houston Tribute, Grammys Rocket to Number One in Weekly Ratings
Despite the pall over the proceedings Sunday night, the Grammy Awards enjoyed a big night. Early into the three-and-a-half hour telecast, host LL Cool J led a prayer for Whitney Houston who shockingly passed away the night before.
In the last hour, Jennifer Hudson “eulogized” her idol with one of Houston’s signature songs, I Will Always Love You.
The show was number one with 3.7 million WCBS/Channel 2 viewers and a huge 19 rating, according to Nielsen.
American Idol began Hollywood Week at number two and three.
