VIRAL VIDEO

A 90-year-old grandma pays tribute to the late Whitney Houston by making a dance video to the singer’s hit song “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”

A teary-eyed grandma 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.”

At times, the video footage is a little shaky. And don’t worry about nana nearly falling over. She’s alright.

She also has moves like Jagger and loves LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem.”

One of the bandmates caught wind of her videos and dubbed her the “Party Rock Grandma.”
