The Grammy’s 2012 | Whitney Tribute

I thought the performances at the Grammy Awards, like at most Grammy Awards were a mixed bag. It’s going to take years for anyone to figure out what the hell Nicki Minaj was up to with her “Roman” performance, and I’ll have nightmares forever about a bad dye job giving me hair like Katy Perry’s. But there were also highlights, like Bruno Mars’s energetic performance and the slightly surreal sight of Dave Grohl, Bruce Springsteen and more rocking out with Paul McCartney to “Golden Slumbers.”And then there was Jennifer Hudson’s performance of “I Will Always Love You,” which stands completely on its own. The song was obviously added to the schedule at the last minute given Whitney Houston’s sudden death on Saturday, but Hudson performed it note-for-note flawlessly, barely able to contain her emotion as she honored the death of a singer who she like millions of other singers of her generation looked up to as a legend.
