Beautiful, and very touching. 

Wow.  That was pretty powerful.  Beautiful.

Moving performance, cried my eyes out.

Brought Tears To My Eyes. Very Good Jennifer!!!!!!  R.I.P.   Whitney

You mean “Parton’s ‘I Will Always Love You.’”

I thought that was actually Whitney Houston when it first came on. Really confused me. 

It’s a Dolly Parton song. 

 And Whitney Houston made it a hit.

beautiful i balled my eyes jennifer did a great job rest in peace whitney

If I remember correctly (it’s been a few years), Dolly Parton wrote the song and had it on one of her albums but it didn’t do so well.  Whitney Houston heard the song and asked for permission to record it…..it broke records for being No. 1.  I heard Dolly sing it many years ago and much preferred Whitney’s version

No way you’d have seen all these “heartfelt” tributes to a white singer. Seeing this naked racial advocacy unfold on mainstream TV when it should lie in the gutter of Stormfront is the saddest event of the night. Post-racial, aborted at birth and black Americans still have the “we” as if it’s 1934. Screw anyone who likes art by skin color.

hmmm ….i just watched whitney’s version on YOUTUBE ….sorry jennifer YOU tried 

You’re in serious need of a new brain and heart. Oh and go back to Stormfront where you belong. POS

No shit Sherlock. She ain’t Whitney. But she did do it almost as well.

not a big Houston fan, but that was quite touching.

Are you seriously this f-cking stupid?

her songs were such a part of my childhood.

sad she’s gone :(

She wasn’t trying to be better than Whitney, it was a heartfelt TRIBUTE to someone who had just passed away. I’m pretty sure competition was the last thing on her mind.

I can’t believe you would be so hateful and insensitive at the death of someone. I am absolutely appalled and saddened at your willfull insistence to try and somehow make this into a issue of race. Whitney Houston was a singer whose talent brought joy to millions of adoring fans. She had total career awards in excess of 400, and was the most awarded female artist of all time, and I will guarantee you it was because of her voice and had nothing whatsoever to do with her skin color. You can only wish that someone will honor you in such a heartfelt tribute when you pass away. At the rate you’re going, all you will end up with is being placed in a cardboard box and discarded like the trash you are.

Where were these people 15 years ago when Houston needed help and intervention. Now they act like they freakin care. You can cut with a knife through that hypocrisy.

Whitney covered this song for ‘The Bodyguard’ soundtrack… l love that the film not just because it was great but because because it is one of the only films you’ll ever see that has an interracial relationship where the film is NOT about interracial relationships..  Sorry to inject that in but you just don’t see that too often even in 2012.. It was simply about the story and love, that’s it..  Also you could tell she was so nervous but Jennifer nailed it..  

Well Whitney owned it.

If that’s how you saw it, you’re delusional.

Whitney has a voice that was uncanny. No one is going to be able o match it without voice synthasizing software.

I was still in high school. Even if I wanted to intervene, I doubt if Whitney would let me within 15 feet of her.

No one could sing this song or the Star Spangled Banner ever again without being compared to Whitney Houston.

You know what’s scummy about the music industry? Everybody all of a sudden loves you when your dead. #embarassing

Lovely song, by a lovely singer. I love Jennifer’s voice, and think she is amazing. There’s just no substitute for Whitney, though. She truly had such an amazing talent. I watched her Oprah interview yesterday, from 2009. It’s very said, everything she says, knowing the outcome now.

sorry but I have no sympathy for another ‘celebrity’ who wasted her God given talents with drugs.  When will these people realize just how lucky they are?  Jennifer Hudson’s performance?  Beautiful!

With her body of work, she may well be the most talented female singer of all time.

Can anyone suggest someone better?

She did a great job, but no one signs that song as well as Whitney. And probably no one ever will. Jennifer Hudson Tribute to Whitney Houston full HD video

This shows ya the difference between a good singer and the exceptional Houston. And why was this done so late in the program?

 It had already been a hit, sourpuss.

“On its first release, “I Will Always Love You” reached number four in Canada and number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs, becoming one of the best selling singles of 1974.
After being re-released in 1982, the track once again peaked at number
one on Hot Country Songs, making Parton the first artist ever to earn a
number one record twice with the same song.

 Wrong!

But she lip synched it.

“Before then, some stars were electing to use a prerecorded track at high-profile events. They include a performance many singers consider the benchmark — Whitney Houston.

Houston’s unforgettable rendition of the anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl, during the first Gulf War, set the standard that most singers have tried to top. But that performance, which was also in Tampa, was lip-synced as well, according to the AP. “

Well done. 

does anyone care?

oh please.  get serious.  what were any of them supposed to do??  what about some responsibility on the part of huston???

Ted the Super Bowl performance was mimed this is true..  But her rendition I posted above welcoming home the troops was 100% live.. She is and will always be the  the standard.. have a nice day..

Yes, as in millions. Were you the last one picked in PE class?

LOL @ wrong, no one cares if Dolly sang it once or twice.

You’re only reporting half the story, they played the prerecorded song at the stadium to block off noise disturbance but she was singing into a live microphone. The prerecording was just an amplifying effect to block out white noise.

True, maybe Celine Dion but she didn’t have as much soul as Whitney.

Mariah Carey’s body of work is equally if not more  impressive than Whitney’s in my opinion..  Who’s the better vocalist well that’s tough to decide as well.. On their duet neither one really outshone the other..  Mariah’s anthem rendition doesn’t hold a candle to whitney’s though.. Well no ones rendition holds a candle to Whitney’s..

get a life eddythecat. did you have to take off work today to grieve for this pathetic “star”? or do you work at all?

I’m retired you pathetic, self aggrandising little dolt, and if you don’t appreciate her talents that’s your problem little one. And remember, a sentence begins with one of those “big” letters

Nobody ever sang the Star Spangled Banner like Steve Tyler. His version brought tears to my eyes. Tears of pain, that is.

forget your meds today?

Ella Fitzgerald. Patti Page. Doris Day. Rosemary Clooney. Barbra Streisand. Julie Andrews.  Shirley Jones. Karen Carpenter. Nancy Wilson. Joan Sutherland.

Yeah, that was an awful rendition. At least Roseanne & Carl Lewis aren’t trained singers.

…and Amy Winehouse, who wrote,  played and arranged. Houston was a voice and not a particularly original one at that.

Never forget what the Republicans at Fox Nation said about Whitney, never forget.

Okay Ted… we get it. And we get how important you are, knowing that. But guess who comes across here sounding like the sour puss? 

No doubt, Dolly Parton was happy to have the hit herself… but probably happy to have Linda Rondstat cover it… and even more happy when it hit for Houston, who’s 4.59 million sales of the single crushed sales of Parton’s version, along with every other single ever sold in the U.S. up to that point. 

Parton surely got her due when Houston sold it so well… and will do so again: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/13/whitney-houston-death-dolly-parton-estate-record-sales_n_1273323.html

So thanks, but the clarification is extraneous and, at this point, distastefully emphasized on your part.

Well hang on… Dolly does. She made and will continue to make a bundle on it. (I’m sure she’s more comfortable with Whitney Houston’s success than Ted appears to be.)

Forget to use one of those “big” letters at the beginning of your comment again?

just take your meds, sweetie. they will help. i promise.

More like a few LGF trolls filled the thread with racist comments, then saved them, and wrote an article posting them all, pointing fingers at FOX and Republicans… 

They flat out LIE all the time. They have two stories up there right now that are flat out lies. I wouldn’t doubt this one is a fabricated lie, too.

Forget to use one of those “big” letters at the beginning of your comment for the third time? A very, very slow non learner .I did take my med’s, a multiple vitamin with extra D and half an aspirin.

i think you need more than vitamins and aspirin. what did you retire from? teaching punctuation to 2nd graders?

I’m a retired civil engineer. How would you know anything about the 2nd grade since obviously you never made it that far. The use of those “big” letters has absolutely nothing to do with punctuation.

lol. you really are just too funny and further more i don’t believe a thing you write. but keep them coming, honey. it’s all too much fun.
