[Article About Arista25 From Platinum Club Site; USA Today Review] Whitney Shines At Arista Anniversary Whitney Houston, in all her diva glory, dazzled the audience onstage at Arista's 25th Anniversary, held Monday April 10th. Gracing the stage wearing a sparkly gold gown, our Lady of Soul, "…stole the show from…Santana, Brooks & Dunn, Sarah McLachlan…and Aretha Franklin…" Stunning the crowd with her incredible 25-minute set, Whitney performed an array of number-one songs from her multi-platinum albums including a spirited "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" followed by an even more energetic "How Will I Know." Whitney's strong and eclectic voice delivered a beautiful rendition of "I Will Always Love You" that literally brought the crowd to their feet and some to tears. The diva herself was even taken aback by the crowd's response as mid-song she signalled husband, Bobby, for a glass of water. After collecting herself, Whitney brought the song to a soul-stirring close before inviting Bobby, Monica, and Deborah Cox to join her onstage for "My Love Is Your Love." Amongst the star-studded crowd including Melissa Etheridge, Puff Daddy, and Natalie Cole sat Whitney's mentor and Arista's genius, Clive Davis. Don't miss Arista Records' 25 Years
