  • Jamie Foxx, Busta Rhymes and Jane Krakowski handed the Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance award to Houston, her sixth career Grammy and her first won in that category, had already been nominated six times.
  • "Heartbreak Hotel" and "It's Not Right But It's Okay" were both nominated Best R&B Song, given to the songwriter, but lost to "No Scrubs" performed by TLC. In addition, "When You Believe" was among the nominess for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
  • In that year's ceremony, there was bad blood between Houston and Rosie O'Donnell, the host for the show. When Rosie shouted "Aloha" to Houston in her opening monologue that took aim at various stars' run-ins with the law―an obvious reference to Houston's alleged marijuana bust at the Honolulu airport earlier that year―she got a raised hand (little short of one upraised finger) from Houston. In addition, Rosie introduced Houston's performance of "It's Not Right But It's Okay" and "I Learned from the Best," calling Houston 'a huge fan of the Doobies.'
