VIDEO: JENNIFER HUDSON PERFORMS WITH PRINCE & SCHEDULED TO PERFORM AT WHITNEY HOUSTON TV SPECIAL

The little man and the big voice on one stage giving the fans a show.  After blessing the stage during Mary J. Blige’s set at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, Prince brought out his own special guest during his “Welcome 2 America” concert at Chicago’s United Center. 

Chi-town’s own Jennifer Hudson appeared on stage to duet with the pop icon on “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Looking stunning in a gold dress, the big-voiced diva brought the house down with her hair-raising rendition, which earned applause from Prince himself.

And if that is exciting enough for Jennifer Hudson the weight watchers spoke model is joining Some of Whitney Houston’s most famous fans as they pay tribute to the late singer at a concert next month. Usher and Jennifer Hudson are among the first performers announced for “We Will Always Love You: A GRAMMY Salute to Whitney Houston.”

The one-hour special will be taped on October 11 at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE and air on CBS in November. It will feature never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews, along with artists sharing their memories of Houston.

In addition to Usher and Hudson, R. Kelly is expected join the lineup. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster. No word if Bobbi Kristina or Whitney mom Cissy Houston are involved in the project but we would hope so.
