GLEE: Tribue to Whitney Houston in Tonight’s Episode

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.”
