Jennifer Hudson attends the 2012 Samsung's Hope for Children gala.

Whitney Houston has passed away but her legacy lives on in the artists who she influenced. One of those singers is Jennifer Hudson who proudly performed a medley of the late diva’s hits at the 2012 Samsung Hope for Children Gala last evening.

Hudson belted renditions of Houston’s ‘I’m Every Woman’, ‘How I Will I Know’ and ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ at the Hope for Children Gala. However, she didn’t just sing and exit the venue. Rather, she descended into the audience and danced with the patrons of the show.
