Jennifer Hudson: "I Will Always Love You" Whitney Houston Tribute

Jennifer Hudson gave an emotional, moving performance of Whitney Houston's most famous song on tonight's Grammy Awards. Jennifer received a call from producers last night, who asked her to perform the Houston tribute. Jennifer got on the mic and did what she did best, belting out "I Will Always Love You," while making the ballad her own.

I was thrilled to learn that JHud was asked to perform tonight. Her voice is the closest we have to Whitney's, and considering how Jennifer tragically lost her family members a few years ago (and has spent time with Whitney on several occasions), she is the right one for the job! She had a personal connection to Whitney, which makes her performance even more appropriate. Great job Jen!
