No, Jennifer Lopez Is Not Actually Doing A Whitney Houston Tribute Performance
Contrary to the rumors, the Grammys will not see Jennifer Lopez paying tribute to Whitney Houston.

According to The Grape Juice, the 53-year-old made headlines after a tweet claiming that she was set to do a Houston tribute went viral.
“J.Lo just revealed with @TIME that she is doing a Whitney Houston tribute at the @Grammys next year,” the since-deleted tweet read.
It also claimed that Lopez said “Whitney’s songs fit my vocal range very well” and that she was planning on singing “‘I Have Nothing’ and ‘I Will Always Love You,'” the post stated.
The news set the internet ablaze, with many unimpressed with the decision to elect the “Jenny From the Block” singer to pay homage to Houston.
“Jlo wanting to pay tribute to whitney like ok girl,” one Houston fan tweeted.
“Annnnnd what the f**k is JLO supposed to do with a Whitney Houston song except have an aneurysm???” added another.
Those tweets are among thousands of others questioning Lopez’s ability to cover Houston’s beloved discography.
Supporting rumors of Lopez’s Grammy performance, a clip of “raw audio” of the singer rehearsing for the tribute made it’s way to Twitter. It garnered tens of thousands of views.
Despite the evidence, Lauren Schwartz, a representative for Lopez, confirmed that Lopez is not slated to perform a tribute to Houston.
“There is no truth to this rumor and that interview did not happen,” Schwartz told The Associated Press.
Schwartz added that they’re “looking into” the audio clip, “but either way it is not related to any Grammy performance.” The clip has actually been making the rounds on social media since at least 2010, and has also been used to show Lopez attempting to sing a Barbra Streisand song. The lyrics included in the video are from the Streisand and Donna Summer song “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough),” and not any hits by Houston.
There’s no proof of the interview on Time’s website, and the Grammys has yet to announce its performers for next year’s award show.READ COMMENTS
