Cissy Houston on Bobbi Kristina: Not a "Great Deal of Hope" for Recovery

The mother of Whitney Houston has spoken publicly for the first time about her granddaughter. And the news Cissy Houston has for fans is grim. Breaking her silence about Bobbi Kristina Brown – who remains in medically-induced coma following an unexplained collapse on January 31 – Houston told WBLS FM 107.5 today that she feels “every bit” of all the prayers out there. “I truly do,” she emphasized. Bobbi Kristina was recently moved from Emory University Hospital after seven weeks at the world-class Atlanta facility. But there’s not much else to report at the moment. And certainly nothing positive, unfortunately. “She’s the same,” Cissy said of Bobbi. “We’ve moved her to a place for rehabilitation. And you know, still not a great deal of hope. [We’re] still praying.” Houston has sadly dealt with a lot of loss in her life, learning to let go and let God do His thing. “I don’t pray like that. I give it to God one time, because I know He’s able,” she said. “And I cannot change a thing. I’m asking everybody: ‘Just pray to the Lord who we know CAN do something about it.'” She added: “If He works a miracle, thank God. If it happens the other way, I’m alright.” Insiders say that reality is sadly sinking in for all of Bobbi’s relatives, as they know the time may soon come to say goodbye to the troubled 22-year old.

American Idol Recap: All the Performances, Twice the Eliminations

American Idol took fans back to the 1980s last night. But not before it took away the hopes and dreams of two contestants. Because the judges used their save last week on Qaasim Middleton, the axe came down on a pair of hopefuls Wednesday evening, with Maddie Walker and  Adanna Duru seeing their impressive runs come to an end. Rayvon Owen, meanwhile, found himself in the Bottom 3. Did he redeem himself with the cover of a classic song? Check out all nine performances and give them each a grade now: American Idol Top 9 Perform the 80s 1. Clark Beckham – “Every Breath You Take” View Video Clark Beckham went back to the 1980s with “Every Breath You Take.” What do you make of his rendition? 2. Rayvon Owen – “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” View Video Rayvon Owen wants to rule the American Idol world. Will this performance help him do so? 3. Nick Fradiani – “Man in the Mirror” View Video Nick Fradiani is looking to the Man in the Mirror. He makes like Michael Jackson for this American Idol performance. 4. Tyanna Jones – “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” View Video Tyanna Jones paid homage to Whitney Houston on American Idol 80s night. She just wants to dance with somebody. Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 5. Daniel Seavey – “You Make My Dreams” View Video Daniel Seavey hopes that American Idol votes make his dreams come true by keeping him around until the very end. 6. Joey Cook – “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” View Video Joey Cook just wants to have fun with this American Idol performance. And she clearly does so. 7. Quentin Alexander – “In the Air Tonight” View Video Quentin Alexander slows things down here for “In the Air Tonight.” What do you think of his Phil Collins cover? 8. Qaasim Middleton – “Addicted to Love” View Video Qaasim Middleton makes like Robert Palmer for this American Idol performance. And we love it! Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 9. Jax – “You Give Love a Bad Name” View Video Move over, Bon Jovi! Jax is here on American Idol to give love a bad name. The End. Up Next: ” American Idol Top 9 Perform the 80s .” We’ll be redirecting you shortly… Daniel Seavey , at only 15, was way out of his element with “You Make My Dreams,” while ​ Quentin   Alexander got very deeply into his rendition of “In the Air Tonight.” Joey Cook most definitely had fun (but no chance to win) with “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” while Tyanna Jones tried to toss an EDM beat into “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.” Jax put her very own spin on “You Give Love a Bad Name,” while Nick Fradiani rocked his crescendo on the overly-done “Man in the Mirror.” Clark Beckham sat at the piano and belted out “Every Breath You Take” beautifully, while Middleton didn’t really make “Addiction to Love” his own. Finally, Owen did a perfectly fine job on “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” But will that be enough to save him from elimination next week? Now you tell us: Who should win American Idol Season 14? Clark Beckham Joey Cook Jax Daniel Seavey Nick Fradiani Tyanna Jones Qaasim Middleton Rayvon Owen Quentin Alexander View Poll »
