暌違十年，惠妮休斯頓將再度站上全美音樂獎舞台，演唱2009全新專輯的單曲 「I Didn't Know My Own Strength」。全新錄音專輯「I Look To You」在8月底發行首週，就旋即空降美國、加拿大、德國、義大利、荷蘭、瑞士各國排行榜冠軍寶座，此張專輯也同時創下她個人歌唱生涯中，首週在美國＆英國就賣出個人最佳唱片銷售量。
除了將在全美音樂獎中引吭高歌，惠妮休斯頓也將同時獲頒「國際藝人獎」的殊榮。在過去36年的全美音樂獎中，只送出過7座「國際藝人獎」，而她將是第8位獲得此殊榮的藝人。要獲得此項獎項並不容易，他所必需具備的條件是全球亮眼的唱片銷售量、高點播率、立下標竿性地位的藝人，過去只有Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin, the Bee Gees, Aerosmith, Madonna and Beyonce等7位獲頒過此獎項。
在過去36年的全美音樂獎，Whiteny Houston一共被提名過37次，抱回21座獎項，得獎率可說是高達58％。她在1994年全美音樂獎中，還曾創下以「The bodyguard」原聲帶，狂掃當年所有獎項，可說是當今女藝人之冠，那一年我也在家看電視現場Live轉播，只見她台上台下飛奔，同時還要上台演唱，到最後致詞都不知該感謝誰了，最後都只是感謝上帝這幾個字囉。另一位有過這樣紀錄的人，就是1983年Michale Jackson的「Thriller」專輯。
所以說，Whitney你不得獎誰得獎呢？你說是不是ㄋ？呵呵！

Dick Clark Productions President, Orly Adelson, announced today that Whitney Houston will perform at the 2009 American Music Awards. Whitney Houston's performance will mark the first time she's performed on the show in ten years ("Until You Come Back" & "My Love Is Your Love" Medley with Babyface & Wyclef Jean in 1999) and her first primetime U.S. network performance in five years (World Music Awards in 2004). Whitney will perform her powerhouse ballad "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster. In August, Houston 's seventh studio album, I Look To You debuted No. 1 in USA , Canada , Germany , Italy , Holland and Switzerland and marked the biggest first week sales of her career in USA and UK .
Houston will also be given the American Music Awards International Artist Award a unique honor presented only to those special artists who have gone beyond the borders of their own country to be acknowledged for their superstar status around the globe. To receive the International Award, an artist must have achieved outstanding sales and airplay success in every corner of the world, and must be recognized all over the world as a true icon, both as an artist and a concert attraction. The Award is so unique that it has only been presented seven times in the 36-year history of the American Music Awards. Whitney Houston will be the eighth artist to win the prestigious International Award, after Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin, the Bee Gees, Aerosmith, Madonna and Beyonce.
"We're honored to have Whitney Houston back on the AMA stage after ten years," said American Music Awards producer Larry Klein. "She has won the most AMA's of any female artist in history and is without a doubt an international superstar so it's only fitting we honor her with the 'International Artist Award' this year at such an important time in her career."
Whitney Houston holds the all-time record for being the solo and female artist with the most wins at AMAs. She has been nominated 37 times and won 21 AMAs in her career. Whitney Houston also holds the record for the most AMAs won in a single year, held by both Michael Jackson (for 1983's Thriller), and Whitney Houston (for 1992's The Bodyguard Soundtrack). With 170 million worldwide sales, Whitney Houston is the only artist to chart seven consecutive #1 Billboard Hot 100 Hits and the only artist with seven consecutive multi-platinum albums.
Whitney Houston will join other previously announced acts including Rihanna, Green Day, Shakira, Mary J. Blige, Keith Urban, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, The Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry and Adam Lambert.
The show will be broadcast live from the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22 (8:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) on ABC.
