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.
And not just any award, but her very first GRAMMY! It must have been amazing
Charles Jeffery It was her sacrifice.
Jennifer was so shocked.😍
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
Take that & smoke it Simon Cowell!
And an Oscar
And was presented by Whitney!
@@Vallentina0325 simon has nothing to do with jennifer loosing tho...
@@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.
It's crazy how life is, Whitney gave her her award, Jennifer sang at her FUNERAL...both stood before millions to honor one another.
How is that crazy? She was asked to sing, and she probably wanted to do it.
Actually she sing to her at bet honors I will always love you.
Just wanted to say she didn't sing at the funeral
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.
The Illuminaughty was prepping Jennifer to take Whitney's place and the price for that was the scarification of Jennifer's whole family
Back when Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson were still with us. Now they’re both gone. It's so sad :(
+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.
Prince is now gone to which really makes me sad
Kat I totally agree with you all the way and I grew up listening to Whitney and Michael!!!
BBBYpsi IKR
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.
Damn..... this lady just walked on stage, looked into the audience and EVERYONE rose to their feet😐!!!
Now that is the power of a LEGEND!!!!!!!
All she has to is walk in a room and she gets a standing ovation. Sh was the best!
+Whitney “Whitneyhoustonfan” Fan That's what you call a "legend". ;)
+lenzino7383 thats what you call a diva
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
Whitney Fan
hell yeah! !
Nahuel Martínez ikr
To have Whitney Houston present you with your 1st Grammy...A moment to cherish for a lifetime.
Milley cyrus x mariah carey also
whitney thought she wanted the Grammy but Jennifer actually wanted a hug
I know right In her Eyes Whitney Was the Grammy lol deep moment for sure
mr.daytonameth right I see u caught that to
That's the most real sensible comment on this thread! Whitney Houston was like a mom to her
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.
That was her throwing shade!
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.
So they changed every genre of music? Maybe you should say soul/pop or whatever music.
Celine too
Whitney, Mariah, Celine, and Madona
@@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.
@@superfreaky4031 just my opinion lol
The way everyone stood up when Whitney came upon the stage , wow just wow. Miss her :(
Ms.Whitney was Music Royalty whenever she appeared at shows she always got a standing ovation she was treated with the respect she deserved.
yeah true
Himanshu 🙂❤️❤️
and who else do you think deserves that standing ovation
Legendary
can you imagine how that must have felt to jennifer? to have a grammy with your first album presented to you by whitney houston?
Whitney on drugs.. She was shaking
And she just lost her family too!
@@drnathaniel8126 No she was not! When you do drugs too much, your nerves get bad automaticly! Trust me I know!
i love that she gets a standing ovation by just walking onto the stage
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.
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).
When Paul McCartney stands for you, you know you a legend
Who's that

It was almost like Whitney was passing the torch to Jennifer Hudson. Such a tender moment.
💕💕💕💕💕
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.
Not tender st all. It was a satanic ritual.
Whitney looked amazing here!
Whitney Fan47 Has anyone noticed that this was posted February 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anthony Kaleta What's Feb. 11?
Jamie Stewart the date Whitney Houston died
@@sensitivespirit1118 OMG that's so crazy. I just noticed that when I read ur comment. Tell me that's not divine intervention. That's crazy
Yes she did!!!!
"I knew I should've worn my BOOTS" lol I love Whitney.
I've always wondered why she said so!!!!
Undefeated92 U2 had just finished performing their song ‘Get On Your Boots’ so she was referencing U2’s song.
@@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.
Whitney was so gracious with this. It was wonderful to see her so happy handing off a Grammy to another generation of great singers.
When SIR PAUL McCARTNEY gives you standing ovation you know you made it . 0:21

Whitney at her FINEST this night! Legendary
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
Yeah she looked close to 1994 with the hair and outfit. She was beautiful that night as well
If you think this was Whitney at her 'finest' you must be very new to her....she didn't look great and her voice was cracking as she spoke.....
perth45 exactly...I miss Whitney so much, but you can clearly tell she was on
no way. maybe in the recent years but Whitney in the late 80s was truly one of the most beautiful women I’d ever seen.
American idol: do you think that you're the best we can find in america?
Jennifer: yes I do and now she proved it
ButtAbubakarVevo and didn’t even win the show!
"I would like to thank my family in heaven, and those who are here today." SO sad. I felt so happy for her, and so terrible at the same time.
When Jh said my family in heaven,,,that broke my heart
To date the only star I have ever cried for when she passed. Her talent was immense .
Yesssss!!!
Whitney looked GORGEOUS here...Hair and make-up...FLAWLESS...RIP my sweet queen~
She really did look Amazing as usual. I miss her so much. She's irreplaceable most definitely!
+Laron Mccall no one will replace Whitney
Laron Mccall she sure did
No, she didn't. She looks awful, and knowing what we all know now, makes it all the more heartbreaking.
Peace i
She just walked out on stage, didn't say a word. Still got a standing ovation.
Whitney walked on stage like a boss....she like "I'm back"😉😉
A standing ovation just to present an award, I miss Whitney man!
Imagine only walk to the room and the whole people in that room giving you standing ovations, what a legend!
Whitney got a standing ovation that night just by walking in! That is a LEGEND!
Whitney was so naturally flawless. Heaven sent. Wish she could’ve battled those demons and won. She’s gone too soon.
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
She looked amazing here! I can’t believe the Grammys didn’t let her sing that night!
Whitney Houston was a real diva. I just wish she could have seen her own worth.
I miss u Whitney Housten,,
@Juan Guess Sorry, and who are you?
Juan Guess what
❤️🥺
Bono introducing Whitney Houston
what a great time to watch the grammy awards.
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 !
WOW this was well said ! we love #WhitneyHouston #Forever !
Like people are talking shit about Mariah now, and then pretend they always loved her if she died.
AMEN!!! You said it all! #WhitneyHoustonForever #RIPWhitney #WhitneyHoustonGreatestofAllTime
#FACTS
Well said!
Whitney and Jennifer are by far amongst the top best vocalists in the world
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!!!!!!
Me. I am WhitneyHouston Eternal love fan♥ I agree She was everything to us
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.
Your picture of Nippy is so gorgeous!!! Her model days 😆
Well she got it from her cousin Dionne Warwick ❤️
Whitney’s stage presence is like no other. A God.
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.
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
no need to bag Madonna, not classy at all
Pascoe Braun Oldonna*
Class, Whitney was born to entertain.
Pascoe Braun Madonna is the 1 that's not classy 🙄
Lissandra Freljord Amen yes she did !!!!!
The crowd went insane she’s the queen
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
and Jennifer continues to show that adoration to Whitney. Nothing fake there.
I just wished they were on a track together. ugh!
@@blind_t2 I know what you mean
@@manuelorozco7760 and now that she has a talk show, could you have pictured what it would be like if Whit was one of her first few guests?
@@blind_t2 Maybe
that curtsy was everything!!!
That moment when you did nothing but to stand in front of them but they were all standing and clapping for your presence. Whitney rocks!!!
Wow, I almost teared-up when Whitney bowed & received a standing ovation. My Leo #Idol.
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!
She's dominating every award show. Good for her! Very strong and independent woman. I'm proud to be a Jennifer Hudson fan!
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. 😍
Always A DIVA...
What a legend... even paul mccartney had his standing ovation before whitney
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!!
two talented, powerhouse black queens.
"God blesshya..." can't nobody on Earth bless better than Whitney lol THE QUEEN!
Is it just me, we all know that she is the best female vocalist ever however OMG she is georgous asf what a true staple of a women that image ❣️
When all you do is walk in, and even legends like Paul McCartney stand up for you. Simply the best.
YASSSSSSS! I've never seen her look as beautiful. Her skin tone with that blue gown was everything!
who paul 🤔
Oh my God, Whitney is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥
+Sonia Caselli You mean she was. IKR and she is now gone just when she was slowly reviving her career
+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♥
Sonia Caselli I say amen
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. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🦋
Wow. What a moment in time that Jennifer will never forget.
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!
Xzavier Payne I think that sadly she was most likely high :(
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 😘
You could tell Jennifer's real dream was just meeting Whitney Houston that day. She loved her so much as an artist. Rest easy Whitney.
Whitney looked so beautiful.
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!!
Aww Whitney look so beautiful, legends will forever live on!
Whitney looked amazing! 😍😍😍 Jennifer as well 🥰
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!
😢❤
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 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!
Whitney looks BEAUTIFUL here!! WOW
Honey she looked FLAWLESS. She did that!
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 CZcams 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.
Uhh I love Whitney but she was definitely high here.
She's high AF on stage in this video. Bless her.
She was handed a Grammy award by the best female singer ever who was probably her hero. I woukd have lost it.
Céline has been doing the bow too. Whitney still influencing Céline after all these years. Love both divas but Whitney is forever Queen.
Na época que o Grammy era relevante. Para sempre, Whitney!
Whitney u will always be loved and missed RIP sleep in peace in heaven with ur beautiful daughter and God's Angels
Just a flat out diva...did you see that entrance?
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.
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.
Okay, but the real win is having the Grammy handed to you by Whitney Houston, that's a win for Jennifer already!!!
wow...I just got teary eyed when she started talking...truly a beautiful woman in and out
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!! 🎶💜🎶💜
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
Whitney look so stunning. And she is the only one who can bow like she did with grace and elegance. I love you Whitney. S.I.P
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
You really deserve it Jennifer!
A lot of respect to Whitney Houston!.💚💚.GOAT!
that gown is flawless :-)
Receiving an award from the hands of Whitney Houston is the ultimate honor
That’s one and only WHITNEY HOUSTON!!!❤❤❤
2019....Seems like yesterday. Miss you Whitney
No one can beat her !
Just adorable!
Omg she was such a class act! I miss her presence so dearly
Gosh i cannot get enough of the song that is playing as JhUD accepts her Grammy. A song called You Pulled Me Through by Jennifer Hudson
God I miss Whitney.
Commanded the room without even knowing it. So amazing! Rip beautiful soul
Her mere presence is enough for her to get a standing ovation. But I love her for keeping it real, even with those jewelries and expensive gown, you can tell and see the “real” Whitney.
Her smooth bows/curtsies whatever ypu call them. I adore those! So classy, Nippy!
Wow @ the people who are slamming Jennifer Hudson's version of "I Will Always Love You." Jennifer had less than 24 hours to prepare and was choked up while singing (and who could ever be expected to nail the song like Whitney had). Whitney presented Jennifer with her own here. I thought JHud was the pefect choice.
