Whitney Houston’s welcome back press tour made a stop in New York this week and the R&B icon received nothing but love from the NYC crowd.

MTV.com was able to snag some footage of the event which kind of looked like a high school graduation. In attendance was Clive Davis, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Martha Stewart, Gayle King and many more NYC tastemakers. Watch a very jovial Whitney do a stage dive in this first clip.

Whitney addressed the crowd at her graduation listening.

The next stop on this lovefest is Los Angles. Whitney definitely has the media sold on her comeback. Now its time to see where she stands with the fans.
