Glee will pay tribute to the legendary Whitney Houston in tonight’s Valentines Day episode. Filmed before Houston’s death, the producers have decided to dedicate the episode to Houston’s memory with a card in the end credits.
Amber Riley’s character “Mercedes” will sing the ballad as part of a plot line revolving around her indecision over two romantic interests. The Glee start met Houston at a Kelly Price pre-Grammy event just days before the singer’s death.
“I didn’t need her to take a picture with me,” Riley told E! Online “I didn’t need an autograph. The fact that she even acknowledged that I was standing there was enough for me.”
