Jennifer Hudson sang at a tribute to the late Whitney Houston’s 40 years in music.

There is a real whiff of her being the heroine of a nighttime soap. There are little nits to pick — her left boob and her right boob appear to be under different levels of compression, and it honestly looks like someone put a pale cummerbund underneath it?!?
