They are going to all the time love her.
Jennifer Hudson and “Yellowstone” actor Kevin Costner honored the late singer on Saturday during an emotional tribute on the Clive Davis gala, which happens before every Grammy award show, reports Entertainment Weekly.
Houston, who died on February 11, 2012 on the Beverly Hilton Hotel, was discovered in her hotel room having unintentionally drowned in the bath on account of a mixture of cocaine and heart disease.
“We were each struck by Whitney the primary time we first met her,” said Costner, who starred with with “How Will I Know” singer within the 1992 film “The Bodyguard.”
“Whitney could be our common ground, and from that moment all of us worked as one collective … so powerful that for one moment in time your complete world seemed focused on this one country song.”
The film included a rendition of Dolly Parton’s “I’ll All the time Love You” which served as certainly one of the film’s iconic songs and further rocketed the star into further fame.
“Whitney had turn into essentially the most celebrated singer of her generation, but she was an untrained actress and it was unclear if this was something she should aspire, to and even something that was good for her profession. All three of us would take an enormous leap,” continued Costner.
In line with the “Yellowstone” actor, the singer saw the film as a method to reinvent herself.
The actor also revealed that Houston’s manager Clive Davis was adamantly against doing the film, as he saw it as a “recipe for disaster.”
“Possibly this isn’t the room for it, but I don’t need to miss the moment. And it’s, uh, from the guts. Neither certainly one of us, ultimately, could protect the one you love Whitney,” Costner said to the 90-year-old Davis.
“But your fingerprints on her life are clean my friend. You were a miracle in her life. Thanks for being her bodyguard, Clive … Everyone on this business has a mom, but not everyone has a Clive.”
Davis later took the stage where he was “fully overcome” by the actor’s speech.
“That was only a ‘wow’ from me, Kevin. I thanks from the underside of my heart,” sobbed Davis.
Jennifer Hudson honored the late singer by singing a strong rendition of Houston’s “Biggest Love of All.”
The “American Idol” contestant took the stage in a shimmering silver dress and told the late singer, “we love you” before belting out the tune to a standing ovation.
