English singer-songwriter Jessi J, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, honored Withney Houston, who passed away in 2012, on her 57th birthday by singing Houston’s legendary song ‘I Have Nothing.’
The ‘Price Tag’ singer uploaded a video that she sings the mentioned song, with the title “I have nothing if I don’t have you” on Instagram. Jessi J wrote captioned the video as follows:
“That’s how I feel about Whitney Houston. I would never have started singing seriously if it wasn’t for her. She was and still is my everything vocally. The best to ever do it. The best songs to really sing out LOUD. This song and this moment on Chinese television changed my life forever. I just love to sing.”
With the song, ‘I Have Nothing,’ released from ‘The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album’ in 1992, Houston reached the top five and received various nominations, including for Best Original Song at the 1993 Academy Awards, for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television.
Cornish expressed how much she missed Houston, and concluded her message as follows:
Would never have happened without you. Happy birthday. You are missed. ❤️
