Jeanne, 90-year-old grandma dancing tribute to Whitney Houston, became internet sensation

Jeanne, a 90-year-old grandmother pays emotional tribute to the iconic Whitney Houston at the start of her YouTube video.

Close to tears Jeanne tells the camera: “I’m doing this in honor of the late Whitney Houston. It’s very hard to think of her being gone.”

“She was one of a kind. Wonderful. I just enjoyed her singing, no matter what she was singing.”

Whitney Houston was found dead in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in California on February 11.

In Whitney Houston’s honor, Jeanne, who suffers from severe macular degeneration making her legally blind and hard of hearing, then dances her heart out to the late singer’s hit song “I wanna dance with somebody”.

The YouTube footage has received over 280,000 hits since it was posted earlier this week.

Jeanne’s grandson, who posted the video and can be seen dancing with her, writes: “One of the few things that makes her happy is dancing!”
