Aretha Franklin To Pay Trioute To Whitney Houston At BET Awards

-
Now that the majority of award shows have done their tributes to Whitney Houston BET doesn't want to be outdone. BET has enlisted Whitney Houston's godmother Aretha Franklin to tribute the singer during this year's 2012 BET Awards festivities. Read more below: 
Aretha Franklin has hinted at plans to pay tribute to the late Whitney Houston at the 2012 BET Awards.
The Queen of Soul reveals she is working with TV network bosses to stage a performance in memory of the ‘I Will Always Love You’ superstar, although she has stopped short of discussing exactly which event the set will be a part of.
BET boss Stephen Hill announced last month that Houston will be remembered in a special segment at the upcoming prizegiving, and it appears Franklin will be front and center during the tribute.
During an appearance on America's Today show, she said, "I do have a tribute to Whitney (planned), but that will be aired, it's not a recording. That will be aired on BET."
Franklin, who shared a close relationship with Houston and her mother Cissy, was due to sing at her funeral in February, but had to axe the appearance after suffering foot and leg problems.
The 2012 BET Awards will take place in Los Angeles on 1 July.

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time.
