<p>Whitney Houston and R Kelly both gave performances that bordered on bizarre, with two entirely different results, at Clive Davis&#8217; annual pre-Grammy gala.</p>
<p>R Kelly owned the evening with an electrifying set that had stars from Akon to Glee star Jane Lynch on their feet, as he sang his retro hit When A Woman Loves and also dabbled through his rich catalogue of hits.</p>
<p>He started his mini-concert off with the odd choice of the national anthem, though soulfully rendered, then in another puzzling moment, teased a bit of the Price Is Right theme.</p>
<p>Whitney Houston, the evening&#8217;s last performer, also got a reverential response from the audience as she came on stage, looking dazzling in a silver-sequinned dress.</p>
<p>But her once majestic voice, though at times showing flashes of her former brilliance, sounded weary and hoarse as she creaked through a tribute to her famous singing cousin, Dionne Warwick.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t have to look for the American Idol, because she was in my home,&#8221; said Whitney of the classic performer.</p>
<p>Davis&#8217; pre-Grammy gala has long been one of Grammy week&#8217;s most exclusive invites, and the crowd this year included Miley Cyrus, Diddy, Katy Perry and Usher.</p>
<p>The Recording Academy-event was also dedicated to David Geffen, who was given the academy&#8217;s President&#8217;s Merit award. The co-founder of Dreamworks is also a legendary and influential music figure and played a pivotal role in the careers of acts ranging from Joni Mitchell to Nirvana.</p>
