No one could sing like Whitney Houston could in her prime.
Jennifer Hudson is close, however, and she proved it with her stunning rendition of Whitney’s all-time classic record, “I Will Always Love You.”

One of the things that makes “I Will Always Love You” so special is its simplicity. The song’s music takes second stage to the power of Whitney’s voice.

Jennifer Hudson must have realized this because her version contains no extra glitter or glam.
Rather, it’s just Jennifer, wearing a beautiful all-black gown, crooning for Whitney with just a simple piano playing in the background.
It was incredibly moving and we know Whitney would have been proud.
If you loved Whitney, then you need to watch this performance.
