Ratings: Whitney Houston powers 2012 Grammy Awards to highest viewership since 1984

The 2012 Grammy Awards had a 14.4 adult rating and 39 million viewers -- the second highest viewership for the show ever. The world still loves Whitney Houston. Although, I am specially happy since a lot of people were able to see Adele perform and win big.
