Whitney Houston

Mariah Carey says Whitney Houston's funeral was a “class act”.

The 41-year-old singer was among mourners at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday and found the service to be a fitting tribute to her friend, who was found dead in her Beverly Hills hotel room earlier this month.

Mariah said: “I'm almost incapable of talking about this still. It's very heavy emotionally…

“The service was gorgeous. Such a class act. The way she went out and the way family dealt with it, I was very moved.”

Mariah dueted with Whitney in 1998 on When You Believe and was delighted to have forged a friendship with the I Will Always Love You hitmaker after they were previously seen as rivals.

Speaking on Good Morning America, she added: “It was great, and I don't think people could ever understand our relationship.

“There was always this supposed rivalry in the beginning and then we did the duet and we became friends. I saw her toward the end. I loved her. We all loved her… May she rest in peace. “ - Bang Showbiz
