Whitney To Be Honoured By BET

whitney BET

Comeback queen Whitney Houston will be the the receiptitent of the ‘Entertainment Honour’ at the 2010 BET Honours, it has been revealed. The show, which takes place on February 1st (ironically a day after the Grammys who snubbed her), will see Houston tribute performances from the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Patti Labelle and Mary J. Blige. {Source}

It’s awesome to see Whitney getting her props where they’re due. Should her team keep up the great work with the handling of her ‘I Look To You’ project, I’d imagine the ceremony will coincide with the release of a new single or singles (fingers strongly crossed for a ‘For The Lovers’ release).

Your thoughts?

    Good to Hear.. I believe she will get her Grammy recognition next year. I think that “For The Lovers” , “Worth It” and “I Got You” are strong contenders for a single. They should go with a double release again.

    I am so happy for her- eff the Grammys, she will get her propers. I really think things will continue to look up for her in 2010. She and Clive are steady cementing her legacy- can”t wait to watch and I hope BET brings it.

    Worth it or Like I Never Left for the USa nd For the Lovers for the UK/.International is my dream. hopefully her album continues to sell well.

    I love the album but Whitney baby; you look like you still on that pipe!

    Im happy for Whit and she deserves it, she was the voice of her generation and probably the most influential singer next to Aretha, but please release “call you tonight” its the hottest song on the cd followed by “worth it”

  10. aaaiiiyyyyaaaaiiiiiyyyaaaa January 4, 2010

  11. MORE TRUTH January 4, 2010

  12. Jamie January 4, 2010

    It would be good if Kelly could perform at this. Big ups Ms. Houston!!!!

  14. rnbboy January 4, 2010

    Yes!!! Lets hope this gives the drive to keep pushing the album – Id love to se a re-release also with some HOT new tracks!!!

    MDB deserves a big follow up in the UK – it was such a HUGE hit!

  15. Steffon January 4, 2010

    Congrats to Whitney! I wonder who is going to perform her songs. Seriously if Mary sings a Whitney song, its going to sound a hot ass mess. Leave it to Jhud. Hopefully Brandy will be there.

  16. Baleia January 4, 2010

    For the lovers needs to be the next single.

  17. Jrizzel January 4, 2010

    “For The Lover’s” is an ok song…too risky to be released in the States as a single (wouldn’t chart). “Salute” would see more success here in the US.

  18. Chuck January 4, 2010

    Good to hear – She deserves it! I heard that CALL YOU TONIGHT is the next single to be released and that Arista is shooting a video this week – we’ll soon find out!

  19. MORE TRUTH January 4, 2010

    THEY BETTA KEEP MELINA MATSOUKAS AS DIRECTOR. SHE IS THE HOTTEST THING RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS MUSIC VIDS. SHE DID THE LAST 2 – ILTY AND MDB VIDS.

    I knew that BET wouldnt let us down! When our enterainers are “snubbed” BET will alwayshave their back. maybe this Honors Show is the right way to turn BET back to the top. Not a copy cat of MTV and VH1 Shows.
    With All that said…
    Im excited about the line up to perform Whitney songs as a tribute! I hope they save Whitney for at least middle to last!
    Lets hope that with this Honors Show , Arista get back on track and has Whitney to promote and a HOT single to hit the airwaves and really push it.
    My hopes are for … For the Lovers, Like I Never Left and then Worth It or Call You Tonight!

    Yeah, good for her, though you could say that we saw something like this coming. But I do believe she was snubbed out of a Grammy nomination spot. It’s was not “Album of the Year” quality, but it could have at least gotten “Best R&B Song for Million Dollar Bill, or “Best Contemporary R&B Album.” She could have taken Trey Songz spot.
