Whitney Houston's ex-husband Bobby Brown took the stage in Maryland’s Showplace Arena Thursday and paid an unusual tribute in memory of his ex, who he was married to for 15 years.  

“I'd like to say thank you all. I'd like to say thank you for your prayers. I’d like to day thank you, period.  I'm going to throw two up for Whitney -- that’s my love" Brown told the crowd, holding up two fingers as a tribute to his late ex-wife.
