It’s still a bit unbelievable that Whitney Houston has passed away.  Nonetheless, her music continues to live on.  Before her passing, Whitney recorded a song with singer and co-star Jordin Sparks for their upcoming movie Sparkle called Celebrate.  According to BET, the cast decided to use this opportunity to create a tribute video for Whitney.
