As the world mourns the loss of the iconic Whitney Houston, Grammy producers have been making frantic changes to tonight’s show, so as to honor the late, great, superstar.
Hence, in a move we can only commend, vocalist Jennifer Hudson has been drafted in to tribute the singer.
Full story below…
Speaking to the media this morning, Grammy executive producer Ken Ehrlich said:
“Our plan at this point, I’ve asked Jennifer Hudson to come. We’re really, at this point, talking about what she’s going to do, but it will be something respectful. t’s not going to be a full-blown tribute, to me that feels like it’s too early, it’s too fresh at this moment, so we’re working on something that will be really respectful and appropriate to Whitney’s memory.”
There is also strong suggestion that Chaka Khan will be involved.
The 54th Annual Grammy Awards air tonight on CBS. Pending then, watch Jennifer soar in her tribute performance to Whitney at the 2012 BET Honors. Colossally sad to think almost two years to that day, she’d be paying her respects under such tragic circumstances:
