PEOPLE Critic Reviews Emotional Highs and Lows of Grammy Telecast

The Grammys would have been (and were) a showcase for the glory that is Adele, but Whitney Houston's death 24 hours before the event turned the CBS special into a night of mourning and celebration cresting on big, pure emotions. That's what brought in an estimated 39 million viewers, the highest number for the broadcast since 1984 and the second highest ever.
LL Cool J, who handled the hosting duties without any perceptible wrinkling in his uncanny smoothness, opened with a simple prayer for Houston, "a woman who we loved … our fallen sister." This set up a clip of the six-time Grammy winner belting her signature hit "I Will Always Love You."

New mom Jennifer Hudson just welcomed her first child, son David, to the world, but she's already talking about No. 2 and No. 3 – and next time, she'd like a girl.
"Maybe one more. I'd like to have at least one more, a little girl," Hudson, 27, tells Access Hollywood in an interview to be aired Wednesday night. "I want a girl and then maybe another one. You know, one baby at a time."
As for what town David will call home, there's no question for the native of the Windy City.
