The last song that Whitney Houston recorded was Celebrate with Jordin Sparks for the movie Sparkle, which hits theaters this summer.
“Celebrate” was produced by R. Kelly and will appear on the upcoming Sparkle film’s soundtrack. Whitney’s voice sounds like her old self, and Jordin holds her own as well.

Speaking of Jordin Sparks, last night she and John Legend did a Whitney Houston Tribute at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. On the red carpet Jordin expressed just how much pressure she felt to sing Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You”
“I put myself completely, 100 percent onstage every time I perform,” Sparks said of giving “everything” for her Houston tribute. “It’s just very special. I feel very honored to be able to honor Whitney in this way and to sing one of her songs. I’ve actually never performed this song before ever. It’s one of the songs I’ve always been like, ‘Leave that alone,’ so it’s nerve-racking for me,” she admitted. “It’s a lot of pressure I’m putting on myself, because I want to do it amazingly, but at the same time, whatever happens, I just want to be able to speak through the music.”
