Whitney Houston's Final Performance Reported at Tru Hollywood

"Today" interviews Kelly Price the last one to perform with Houston before her death.

As details emerge about Whitney Houston's final days, it turns out that her last performance was at a Hollywood nightclub and involved one of her favorite songs.

The Today show reported Monday that Houston was at a pre-Grammy party at Tru Hollywood, a restaurant and nightclub on Argyle and Selma avenues. Her friend singer Kelly Price was hosting "Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged: For The Love Of R&B Grammy Party" on Feb. 9.

Houston had joined Price on stage to sing "Yes, Jesus Loves Me." Houston smiled at the end of the song, blew kisses to the audience and waved before leaving the stage.

Today host Matt Lauer interviewed Price about her observations of Houston's condition that night.

"I saw nothing other than somebody who was happy, who was moving forward, who was having a good time," Price told Lauer. "Her daughter was there with her. She was dancing, she was smiling, she was singing. She was talking about her new movie coming out. There was no other condition that I noticed other than one of celebration and having a good time."
