Grandma Dances To Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston tributes continue to flood the Internet in the wake of the superstar's tragic death Saturday, with fans creating music, artwork and videos in remembrance of the talented singer and actress.

But fans are starting to catch on to one tribute that's sure to top them all -- a home video of dancing machine Jeanne, a 90-year-old grandma who's not letting her age stop her from busting a move.

In her lastest music video, Jeanne rocks out to Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," a video she decided to make in honor of Houston.

"This video was her idea," her grandson, caretaker and videographer Adam Forgie said in the video's description. "She wanted to pay tribute to Whitney Houston."

Jeanne's moves are even more impressive after reading the short biography Forgie posted to Facebook.

According to the Facebook fan page "My 90-Year-Old Grandma," Jeanne is legally blind, nearly deaf, and has a steel hip replacement.

Or, in her grandson's words, "100% DANCER."

Check out the original music video below.

A very nice gift between grandmother and grandson, and for Whitney's family and fans, too. Yeah, we should all be wanting to dance with somebody, especially as we age!

I must be honest. The dedication at the beginning of the video had me teary eyed. I heard the sadness she have for Whitney in her voice that came from her heart. And grandma's makeup is flawless. Hairstyle is fierce, and outfit is working, and the moves were pumping!!

This story is cute on so many levels.

(1) I love to see elderly people embracing life and enjoying themselves. Who said you had to sit in a corner somewhere and give up once you've reached a certain age? I am blessed to still have both of my grandmothers. They live in different countries, but both Grandma Geddys know how to have fun (maybe that's where I get it from).

(2) This is a true Whitney tribute from the heart. Much more sincere than the fake tears and plastered -on cue- smiles at the Grammy awards.
