The tribute began with a moving video montage highlighting Whitney Houston’s incredible AMA achievements, introduced by none other than Samuel L. Jackson. The emotional tribute set the tone for Hudson’s performance, which kicked off with “I Loves You Porgy,” a song Houston performed at the 1994 AMAs. Hudson’s soulful rendition was filled with emotion, capturing the essence of Houston’s unforgettable voice. She closed the set with her stunning rendition of Houston’s iconic ballad “I Will Always Love You,” leaving the audience in awe of her vocal talent and passion.

This is not the first time Hudson has paid homage to “The Voice.” In 2010, Hudson sang one of Houston’s classics at the BET Honors, with the legendary singer watching from the audience. Two years later, following Houston’s tragic passing, Hudson delivered an emotional tribute at the 54th Grammy Awards, once again performing “I Will Always Love You,” just one night after Houston’s death.

Whitney Houston remains one of the most celebrated artists in AMA history, with an impressive 22 awards to her name. Hudson’s heartfelt tribute was one of the most memorable performances of the night, part of a series of emotional moments during the AMAs’ 50th anniversary celebration. The event also saw Gladys Knight make her return to the AMA stage and Mariah Carey deliver a flawless performance of her timeless hit “We Belong Together.”

Hudson’s performance served as a poignant reminder of Houston’s lasting impact on music and her unmatched legacy. Fans of both Houston and Hudson were treated to a performance that honored the spirit and voice of a true legend.
