"Whitney's live CD/DVD will stun everyone," Houston's longtime mentor, producer Clive Davis, said in a statement. "It definitely shows why she was totally unique, absolutely in the first rank of all time. For me, it's been very emotional. The set vividly confirms that there really was no one like her. It also makes the tragedy of losing her so young so very painful. Watching the DVD is a mesmerizing experience. Her amazing vocals and the songs that have stood the test of time combine to truly hypnotize over and over."

The project has the support of Houston's estate, her sister-in-law Patricia said.

"Whitney truly had a matchless voice that not only made you feel good but made you feel alive," Patricia Houston said. "The Whitney Houston Estate has worked closely with Clive and Sony Legacy to make this the best album possible to honor Whitney's memory. It certainly was a bittersweet endeavor for all, but one we hope appeals to her legions of fans worldwide."
