Jennifer Hudson’s moving tribute to Whitney Houston

We were all saddened by the news that Whitney Houston tragically passed away at the weekend. The stars paid tribute to Whitney when they found out about her tragic early death. One of the most moving celebrations of Whitney’s epic talents was Jennifer Hudson’s performance of I Will Always Love You at the Grammies. If you missed the performance, watch the video below.

The song, written by Dolly Parton catapulted Whitney to world-wide mega stardom when it was featured on the soundtrack to The Body Guard.

At her last Grammys appearance in 2009, Whitney Houston presented Jennifer with the prize for Best R&B Album, the pair remained close. Jennifer later paid tribute to Whitney at the BET Honours show in 2010, which celebrated her 25 years in show business.

    Why did Jennifer Hudson do a tribute? I wouldn't be happy if someone sang my song! I know she is a good singer but come on...And why does she blow in to the microphone before the words come out? Rubbish... They could have had a group of people singing instead, this just looks like she is trying to take her place.

    God, things are getting bad!! I must be so used to reading on this site that the spelling mistakes don't even register anymore until I see them pointed out in the comments. And yes, my spelling is usually pretty good!! Lol
