Bono introduces Whitney Houston who takes a moment to pay tribute to Clive Davis before announcing Jennifer Hudson as the GRAMMY winner for best R & B album
It was planned that way......The day before Whitney was murdered, Clive introduced Jennifer as the NEXT Whitney Houston on Larry King. He had it planned already.
Omg can you imagine what it was like for Jennifer? Whitney is one of her biggest influences as a vocalist and she presented the award for her, that must be amazing
Nahuel Martínez... Omg yes!!! You seen how emotional Jennifer Hudson was when whitney presented her award! That was so touching. And i could not stop the tears from flowing down my face.
plus that was only 3 months and her first public appearance ever after her mother, brother, and nephew were all gunned down and murdered, can't believe she had the strength to even make it, and that's y she refused to perform her Grammy award winning song that night and choose a gospel ballet off the album called "You Pulled Me Through" as a tribute to them, tho she barely made thru the song understandably do to fighting back tears, its supper hard to sing in upper keys while crying as well as lower ones too.
lost american idol, won a grammy and an oscar edit: this only means that opportunities are always there, one door may close but a bigger door will be opened for you, trust the process, it is all well-planned by God
@@madcat6836 You are correct. I was alluding to his sarcasm & less than complimentary comments when judging the contestants. When he told Jennifer that her outfit looked like something you wrap a turkey in, that was totally uncalled for & mean spirited. It's a singing competition not a fashion show.
Ikr, everybody stood up and applauded her. They had such a huge respect for her. I mean, it was like "wow, it's Whitney Houston" and their immediate reaction was to stand up. I had to replay it because it was so great to see that
+Kat Indeed and their deaths became a rekindling of love for them brought a comeback in spirit and brought me a little closer to what makes them legends who were popular back in the 80's and my birth decade the 90's.
Please learn proper pronunciation. It's "they're" not the possessive "their". I hate it when people can't use English as it was meant to be used. it takes away from your comment.
I think any female vocalist would hug Whitney first before taking the Grammy. It's a rare moment. If I'm not mistaken Whitney presented Grammy to other artist only happened twice. The first one was for Lauryn Hill.
She deserved every standing ovation. She changed how music sounded and how singers sang in the 1980s and 1990s. She and Mariah, together created a whole new breed of singers in the 1990s.. Legendary.
@@seanzhang479 how do you say this and not mention JANET? She was the one who broke barriers with the genres. Her first album is credited with inventing new jack swing. She is credited with helping the development of contemporary and alt r&b. She may not have had the voice Mariah & Whit had (and I as a Janet stan wouldn’t have her voice in any other way) but her music was a major factor that would pioneer the sounds, concepts and aesthetics that Whitney/Mariah would hop on in the late 90s. Whitney and Mariah changed their image for their own reasons and went more contemporary r&b at a point in time Janet was already done with that and released The Velvet Rope which shaped new concepts of alternative r&b. I love all 3 tho. But you are helping to erase her impact by not mentioning her. A side note: Janet’s ‘Alright’ remix with rapper Heavy D came 5 years before the ‘Fantasy’ remix - my girl BEEN doing things out of the box before her peers.
One of the rare times when the presenter outshines the award being given. Imagine having your idol present YOU with an award. Whitney was truly special.
Yeah all those nominations were garbage, including the winner 🏆 Whitney Houston gave us music in the 80's and 90's. I don't consider any of these people worth mentioning 😔
@@fubarlife7776you’re literally laughworthy; Jennifer Hudson is amazing and she has won all four big named awards a Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT).
That is how a Grammy Awards night was supposed to be. We are having shit nowadays. oh my goodness. Also, what an emotional moment for Jennifer, standing there only months after the tragedy that happened to her family and receiving the award from WHITNEY HOUSTON. Just, emotionally speechless.
I fell the some way too and when Aretha Franklin picked Jennifer Hudson to play her, I was not surprised ,because in my OPINION Jennifer was preordained to have such an impact in the world with her voice. We all need to keep Jennifer in our prayers for to her to remain safe and strong in this entertainment industry, because we all know they are quick to pick you up and your quick to put you down.
Miguel Alves whitney 2007 appearance where she wheres a white dress she looks amazing think it was a speech about the princes trust. Type on youtube whitney princes trust 2007. She looks amazing like she did in the 90's
@@3mh4ba ohhh, now I get it, thank you so much. And WOW, she looked fantastic and healthy. Her body was so curvaceous once again and her voice sounded so clean. She is deeply missed.
People will always have something negative to say about everyone in the world, That's life! But, Whitney's LIFE and her MUSIC touched millions of people on this earth. People can sit behind their computer screens and curse her name but what they can't do is kill the LOVE people have for her, The Legacy she left behind, The LIVES she changed, and the good she did for others. Whitney was human. That is why she is one of the most beloved human beings this world will ever see. She wasn't fake. She was straight up! We watched this beautiful and talented, God fearing woman at her best and lowest moments in life. We connected with that. It showed us that no amount of money or fame can make you happy. We rooted for her and prayed for her strength. We cheered her on when she walked on the many stages she graced. We supported her dreams and made it possible for her to make them a reality. One of the many things I admired about Whitney was, no matter what was said about her, how many jokes were told, or how many lies the media printed, she STILL walked on stage just as poised and classy and beautiful as she wanted to be and held her head HIGH the entire time. That is a class act. She was genuine and she fulfilled her purpose here in life. We will always remember her music and that VOICE. There will never be another like her. EVER! No one could take lyrics and do what Whitney did with them. Every song she sang was real and you could feel it. She was living her music. So, as a fan, I could care less who throws dirt on her name. How can you talk bad about a woman you didn't know personally? How can you judge her as if you are living your own life perfectly. Addiction comes in many forms, not just drugs. Remember that! I Will always love Whitney Houston and if you were a fan like I am, continue to uplift her legacy and her name, because the HATERS will do their job anyway. LONG LIVE WHITNEY HOUSTON! #RIPNIPPY !
She just walked on stage to give the award but the whole crowd gave her Standing Ovation Immediately to pay respect ! That's the difference between Pop Artists nowadays to LEGENDARY Artist
The Voice Ms Houston! !! Nobody ever has or ever will make an entrance and courtesy like that and command an audience the way Whitney does. ..The first and last Diva RIP Whitney. ..So much love to you
james hill so love your comments about Queen Whitney.she was the Greatest of Them All.no one can command a stage like Whitney and no one ever will.Ms.Houston was a special gift to the music world and worldwide.
Mikeyj, I totally agree with you, I also loved when she said at the height of her phenomenal career, my mother taught me how to bring an audience to its feet and raise them to their knees, boy did Whitney do that to perfection with such ease and grace , I miss this stunning woman every single day of my life . May she be at complete peace with her daughter and father 💞
+James Hill thanks for your lovely reply.i too miss Whitney every day there isn't a day that goes by where i too dont think about this beautiful special lady.Whitney has left a huge hole in the music industry its not the same without her.
nobody can do bow like Whitney Elizabeth Houston chile she got a standing ovation from the audience that is what you call true greatness she looks like absolutely goddess that she was & that blue with her skin tone Oh my God just breathtaking they will never ever in this lifetime be another Whitney she truly was one of the greatest female vocalist of all time I miss her deeply each and every single day she's on my mind same as Bobbi Kristina I still can't believe they both are not here for God knows they are in my heart forever!!!!!!
I know right? I miss her so much. You can tell because I am over here watching Whitney videos right now. There is truly a void in the industry since her passing. I have a friend who is a big time rocker and he even said he misses seeing her on award shows.
0:19 What a regal pose. Not even Madonna exudes this kind of swag of a true queen. Miss you dearly Whitney. Btw, anyone noticed that Whitney did the leg thing before Angelina Jolie? 0:46
Really sweet for Jennifer to receive an award from one of her heroes three years before Whitney's life was taken from us. Two beautiful voices who are not meant to be compared. I even liked Spotlight and You Pulled Me Through
These moments seem all the more special and precious now she's gone. Nobody will every replace her, nobody else has that kind of regal presence she had. She literally changed the face (and sound) of pop music from the 1980s onwards. Jennifer must have been on cloud 9 to get handed that award by Whitney, I mean as a singer you KNOW you have made it when Ms Houston is honoring you! R.I.P. Nippy, we miss you and will always love you. 😍
Whitney looked absolutely beautiful here - love the gown - great color for her!! Miss her so much...RIP you one of a kind enormous talent that you were!!
Only Whitney can do something like that! Look at what everybody else is wearing....now look at Whitney! What she is wearing is blending in with the stage, it matches! Again, she is owning the stage!
+Manuel Orozco I write: she IS, because, she will always be unic and beautiful. She was, she is, and she'll always be the greatest voice, woman, singer, of ALL TIME. She will always remain in our hearts♥
Wow!! The way she walked out was capturing and than she bowed to her fans.. She definitely is the Queen in my eyes in the music industry and Queen of that night as well. Love you Whitney 😘
Whitney forever gorgeous and talented, in my book, you can do no wrong. So you had your problems in life, like we all do, we still love and adore you Whitney, that will never change. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🦋
I'm pretty sure the reason her voice sounds tired like that is because she was most likely in the middle of recording I Look to You. It came out a few months post this appearance. I know Jennifer was so happy having her idol present her a Grammy.
And she sung her ass of the night before at Clives party. The performance is on RU-vid still! Your right she was recording the last couple songs for I look to you. Million dollar bill was the last song recorded for the album.
Whitney Houston looked gorgeous and what an honor for Jennifer Hudson to receive this award from Whitney Houston her idol. How special a moment that was. Great win for Jennifer - in the midst of the tragedy surrounding her family. Great moment!
Wow that had to be a honor to receive an award that was presented by The Diva herself Miss Whitney Houston and you can clearly see Jennifer was lost for words ...what a moment...like Nikki said I wish that I could have this moment for life ... 💞 This moment great memories wish we can get u back Whitney and congrat to J Hud and her new success on her day time show beautiful ❤️
Whitney!! So much confidence, grace and poise! Noooobody else can come on stage like her and exude such grandeur! Maybe Diahann Carrol , Raquel Welch, Phylicia Rashad hhhmmmm A very short list!
WHITNEY COULD ALWAYS WEAR ANY KIND OF GOWN......SHE HAD THE BODY FOR IT, FORM FITTING....SHE'S SUCH A CLASSY LADY, ELEGANT.....AND POISED...I LOVE AND MISS YOU WHITNEY.......R I P!!
An amazing moment, with the Queen giving the Grammy to the Princess. Breaks my heart to say and remember that even Whitney's speaking voice didn't sound the same as it did when she was younger. RIP Whitney.
Can I just to say that the Nominees in this category were/are just Simply ON FIRE 🔥🔥 TALENTED!! 🎶🎤🎶🎤🎶 Sad note: This was before Jenniffer Hudson's family was killed. 💜 Side note: I'm heartbroken that Eric Benet lost. That album is a Certified Classic!! 🎶💜🎶💜
Whitney looks great and she looks healthy. I think she is going to come back with a bang! I hope they have good material for her to sing. She is just loved and appreciated by so many! Go Miss Houston! Welcome back!
I am suppose to be doing something else. I almost went into tears about this video. I was saying last night Whitney had so much. She was beautiful, a classy dresser, could sang, and a good business woman. Then there's Jennifer who during her trails stomp through with tears. What a voice what a voice what a voice.
Whitney Is Truly, Deeply Missed! She Will FOREVER Be Remembered As #TheVoice Rest Beautifully In The Comfort Of Christ, Ms. Whitney Elizabeth Houston! We Love You! #Nippy
And 3 years later to the day this was on she'd be gone! Jennifer Hudson would be singing her song, and Clive would have had his party while her dead body was lying upstairs! No matter how they build you up at the end your nothing more the a cash machine! And when that cash machine is broken you're done! R.I.P #thevoice
