This was the singer-songwriter\u2019s first performance since winning her first GRAMMY for Best R&#038;B Performance with her smash hit, \u201cHrs &#038; Hrs.\u201d While most of the night was spent celebrating her most recent album, Public Displays Of Affection: The Album, she sprinkled in a few covers, including Usher\u2019s \u201cU Got It Bad,\u201d his Lil Jon and Ludacris collab, \u201cLovers And Friends,\u201d and Ginuwine\u2019s \u201cPony.\u201d However, the treat of the night was the surprise performance from Long, JoJo, and Amber Riley, who joined forces to take on Whitney Houston, Kelly Price, and Faith Evans\u2019 classic \u201cHeartbreak Hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cPlot Twist\u201d singer, of course, opened the song. Tragically, JoJo\u2019s mic was off when she first slid in with the pre-chorus, but that hiccup was quickly rectified after fans filled the slight gap. Riley rounded out the powerful trifecta when she entered around the second chorus. Upon concluding the nearly five-minute performance, the women\u2014in quintessential sisterhood fashion\u2014bowed down, praising one another. \u201cOh my God, what an honor. They\u2019re amazing. I was just tryna stay out the way,\u201d Long joked.<\/p>\n<p>As the video made its way across the digital airwaves, fans immediately dubbed them the next \u201csupergroup\u201d and requested a studio version of the cover. \u201cI\u2019ll be expecting a full studio version in 3-5 business days. Thanks,\u201d wrote one fan. Another wrote, \u201cReal R&#038;B is coming back with a vengeance\u201d while general consensus agreed, \u201cWhitney would be so proud.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/212443307415904070\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2730_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding -bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_83938\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dU7epcQ0NDo?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_69697\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"855\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xEmdW3_bi4c?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/munilong?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by munilong<\/a> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muni Long hosted her second annual Valentine\u2019s Day concert on Tuesday (Feb. 14) at The Echoplex in Los Angeles.
