Jennifer is a great singer, but Whitney in her 20s and at her peak was a once in a century thing.

I wonder if Whitney watched this last night before she died TODAY. i literally thought of her eventual death last night when I saw this interview live. Very very sad. The cause of her death is unknown at this particular moment but I can't help but wonder if it had some to do with this interview, and the Grammy party Clive Davis is having at this very moment.

[Derek Jones]

ouch. this is salt in the wound. not jennifer's fault. but whitney...is THE VOICE. and clive knows it. SHE WILL NOT BE REPLICATED. he may try...but never ever. so thanks for sharing this. but clive...we respect you. we love jennifer. but whitney was THE ONLY ONE that could truly sing and interpret a song. she had guts and soul...the look. watch how you introduced her on Merv Griffin. and you should have cancelled your stupid party at the Beverly Hilton. she made you $...respect her.

Yeah, Jennifer is the New Meat for Clive to make that Money!..hahaha

[Cynthia Lawrence]

Whitney Houston has been crucified by singing on Love God gave her that talent there will never be another , I wish the best for Jennifer Hudson but she should not be compare to Whitney Houston. God know who we are individually,you can duplicate not orginate.

Jennifer hudson is a great singer but whitney was a national treasure and whitney was one of the best female singers in the world,(that will never change) meanwhile i am not even sure if you are in the 100 list.

[bolder2009]

This is the definition of a joke that isn't even funny. She doesn't come anywhere near to the magnitude of Whitney in her prime. And Clive....WE KNOW!

[imandra17]

Jennifer is nowhere near Whitney's level she has no voice control as long as she's been out the only thing I see when I look at her is Effie White.

[PersnickertyTaurus]

Without taking anything away from Jennifer...CLIVE DAVIS IS A DOUCHE FOR SAYING EVEN COMPARING THE TWO.

[Λϑ ε'Λ]

Hmm lets see Clive needed a younger Whitney. J Hud lost her family in sacrifice , then her comes her repayment for her sacrifice.

[InfinityNebula]

Jennifer Hudson will never ever replace Whitney Houston that statement alone shows how dumb aNd retarded Clive Davis is Hudson doesn't come close to the talent level of Houston in her prime Whitney had a golden silk voice that was refined and could go though notes like velvet Jennifer Hudson has a deep obnoxious tone to her voice and only knows how to shout which is not projection of notes besides that she has a hideous horse face and sacrificed her family for fame watch Clive EPIC FAIL

[QueerSwede1]

This is disgusting Clive! Im on to you, you plan to try and replace The Voice will fail completely!
