The Grammys had several emotional moments this year, but none even came close to Jennifer Hudson's rousing tribute to Whitney Houston.

Hudson passionately belted out "I Will Always Love You" in honor of the legendary singer, who was found dead just one day before the Grammys took place.

Near the end of the song, Hudson adlibbed, "Whitney, we will always love you," which was met with a rapturous standing ovation.
