There was little time to revamp the telecast, but Neil Portnow, president of the Recording Academy, which presents the Grammys, says the tributes added something important.
没有时间重新调整电视转播这场颁奖典礼的安排，但格莱美主席尼尔.波特诺说，对休斯顿的悼念是颁奖活动的重要部分。

Backstage, Hillary Scott of the country trio Lady Antebellum recalled Houston’s role inspiring her own music. Scott and her group earned the Grammy for Best Country Album for Own the Night.
“I just admired her and her craft. I mean, it’s a God-given gift and it’s tragic, Scott said. "It’s like there’s a hole in the heart of music, and I don’t know if it can ever be filled because she was just so unique and amazing.”
Whitney Houston won six Grammys during her career but faced problems with drug abuse. Authorities are investigating the cause of her death at the age of 48.
