Tribute to Whitney Houston
(AP) — Jennifer Hudson embodied the look of one
of her idols, Whitney Houston, during a tribute to the
late singer in Los Angeles.
Rocking a pompadour and glittery jacket reminis
cent of Houston's stage costumes from the 1980s,
Hudson belted out a medley of Houston's hits Thurs
day at the Nokia Theatre for "We Will Always Love
You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston," which
will air as a TV special next month.
Houston died in February at 48 from accidental
drowning complicated by drug use and heart disease.
Britney Spears, LL Cool J, Halle Berry, Taraji P.
Henson, CeCe Winans and Yolanda Adams also par
ticipated in the musical tribute.
Spears said she's always been "a huge fan" of
Houston's, adding, "I think that her voice is better than
God."
Jennifer Hudson goes retro in
an all-star TV special tribute to
the late Whitney Houston.
