Back in 2010, Jennifer Hudson honored her idol Whitney Houston at the BET Honors ceremony by performing Houston's most icon song "I Will Always Love You." Jennifer stayed true to the Houston version from The Bodyguard, but also added her own vocal twists to the song to make it her own. Though Whitney Houston owned the song during her Bodyguard days, I truly believe that no one other then Houston and Hudson should ever take on this arrangement of the song. Jennifer offered up one of, if not her best vocal performance that night and received the adoration of the crowd and Houston through their numerous standing ovations. Watch the powerful performance below and Enjoy!
You also forgot Dolly Parton in which she wrote and recorded this song in 1974.
