(A P) - W ith all the star pow er at the B ET A w ards
— K anye W est, Jay-Z , N icki M inaj, B eyonce and
Sam uel L. Jackson, to nam e a few — the m ost stirring
m om ent cam e not from a superstar, but from the m other
o f one.
W hitney H ouston's m other, C issy, provided the
em otional highlight o f S unday's cerem ony as she sang
"Bridge O v er T ro u b led W ater" in tribute to h er late
daughter, leaving audience m em bers like B eyonce and
S oulja B oy in tears.
M ariah C arey o pened the tribute, and h er voice
w avered as she told stories about H ouston. She re
called the last tim e she saw H ouston last year, and how
the tw o laughed and gossiped together.
"I m iss m y friend," C arey said. "I m iss hearing her
voice and laughter."
R & B sin g er M onica w as vocally top-notch as she
sang "I L o v e the Lord," a gospel song once sang by
H ouston; B randy sang tw o upbeat H ouston hits, "I
W anna D ance W ith Som ebody" and "I'm Y our Baby
T onight." C haka K han blazed the stage w ith "I'm
E very W om an," w hich H ouston rem ade. G ary H ous
ton, W hitney's brother, also perform ed; and H ouston's
"W aiting to E xhale" castm ates — A ngela B assett,
L ela R ochon and L oretta D evine — also honored the
singer.
B ut it w as C issy H ouston's soaring perform ance
that brought the au d ien ce to th eir feet, and had m any
dabbing th eir eyes. T he tribute cam e five m onths after
H ouston's death: She died the night before the G ram m y
A w ards o f an accidental dro w n in g com plicated by
heart disease and cocaine use.
As com pelling as that m om ent w as, the show w as
also defined by its low points: E ntire segm ents o f
p erform ances, from N icki M inaj to R ick R oss, w ere
m uted out due to foul language and obscenities,
though several vulgarities w ere heard on air.
W est, the m ost n om inated act o f the night w ith
seven, and Jay -Z w on the cerem o n y 's top prize, earn
ing video o f the y ear fo r "O tis." T h ey also w on best
group.
B eyonce w as the second m ost n om inated act w ith
six. She w on video director o f the year (along w ith Alan
F erguson) and best fem ale R & B artist and thanked the
genre and h er fem ale influences.
"I fell in love w ith m usic by listening to R & B . It’s the
core o f w ho I am ," she said, giving special thanks to
Lauryn H ill, M ary J. B lige and "W hitney H ouston, m y
angel."
C hris B row n w as also a double w inner, picking up
his second co n secu tiv e w in for best m ale R & B artist,
and the "Fandem onium " aw ard fo r a third tim e.
T he night also featured som e tributes to deceased
greats: C hante M oore p erform ed a m edley o f D onna
S u m m er’s hits and V alerie S im pson sang a song in
honor o f her husband and w riting partner N ick A shford.
D on C ornelius, D ick C lark and Hal Jackson w ere
also rem em bered.
