Whitney’s mother Cissy also stunned with an emotional performance for her late daughter Whitney. Read on for more details!
Whitney Houston passed away in February, but her friends and family took it to the 2012 BET Awards on July 1 to find closure.
Mariah Carey started by remembering her close friend and collaborator with a warm speech which left her in tears. It was so sweet and filled with happy memories.
Monica then followed with an emotional rendition of Whitney’s gospel classic “I Love The Lord.”
Brandy then brought the whole crowd to their feet with a rousing rendition of “I’m Your Baby Tonight” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” Even Beyonce was spotted rocking out in the crowd!
Then Whitney’s brother Gary Houston slowed things down with “Where You Are,” which was a touching tribute from one of the people closest in her life.
Her mother Cissy Houston then sang a powerful version of the classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water” — there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was definitely an emotional performance and we’re so happy Cissy got the opportunity to remember her daughter one last time.
Finally, Chaka Khan belted out an emotional version of “I’m Every Woman” that was a perfect way to end the tribute.
