Jennifer has paid tribute to Whitney before by singing her iconic hit I Will Always Love You at this year's Grammys, and Celine has also expressed her admiration for the troubled singer.

"I was just in shock when Whitney's life had been taken because of drugs. It's a big loss for all of us," she told V Magazine in August. "I have always been scared of the industry. Why? Because I think it's a place where anything is possible. It's a 'Yes' place, especially if you have success. And then you think that you have family and friends, true friends. But sometimes the love of family isn't strong enough to overcome."
