The tribute was the emotional highlight of Sunday evening, and started with some heartfelt words from Mariah Carey.
“I miss my friend. I miss hearing her voice and laughter, but we’ll always have the music,” Mariah Carey said.
“We’ll always have that voice we all fell in love with. She inspired us all.”
Monica, Brandy and Whitney Houston’s brother Gary then all sang for the crowd, followed by Cissy Houston, whose performance of the Simon & Garfunkel song brought tears to the eyes of those assembled – a group that included Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
The tribute wrapped with Chaka Khan singing her 1978 song I’m Every Woman, which Whitney Houston covered with great success in 1993.
Kanye West, Jay-Z and Beyoncé took home the night’s biggest awards. Kanye West and Jay-Z were named best group for their collaboration as The Throne, and also won video of the year for Otis.
Beyoncé was named best female R&B artist. Chris Brown was named best male R&B artist.
Drake and Nicki Minaj were honored as the best hip-hop artists.
