R&B producer Danja is among the music lovers fuming that Whitney Houston’s much-hyped comeback album “I Look To You” failed to score even a single Grammy nomination at this year’s ceremony.

The disc — which featured two tracks helmed by the musician (“I Look to You” and “For The Lovers”) produced by Danja — received zero nods at last week’s Grammy Nominations Concert Live!, despite its debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on sales of 305,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

“I’m a little disappointed because she put together a classic album. Her overall comeback is something to be noted but I’m a believer that great people and great music will always show its head,” Danja told Billboard.com last week.

Danja also worked on Pink and Keri Hilson’s albums, both of whom are up for multiple trophies at next month’s ceremony in Los Angeles.

Whitney Houston narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction when she took the stage on the British reality talent competition The X Factor Sunday night, wearing a floor-length silver dress that threatened to get caught on the heels of her stilettos.

With a hem several inches too long, the comeback diva had to keep hoisting the frock up to avoid falling on her face as she belted out the lyrics to “Million Dollar Bill.” Whitney even had to deal with the garb’s back fastening coming apart.

Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Whitney championed through her performance, telling host Dermot O’Leary: “I sang myself out of my clothes…”
