MARIAH CAREY, KELLY ROWLAND, & COMMON CELEBRATE LEGENDS
AT BET HONORS
BET recognized the achievements of legends in the fields of music, literature, entertainment, media, service,
and education at its 5th Annual BET Honors. Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Maya Angelou, and Spike
Lee were among the honorees at Saturday’s taping at Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C. The star-studded evening featured
musical performances and
touching tributes.
L.A. Reid bestowed praise on Mariah Carey before Patti LaBelle left the diva in
tears while performing her classicballad “Hero.” Nick Cannon honored his wife
with an emotional speech as he held their son Moroccan (his sister Monroe was
backstage feeling camera shy).
A grateful Mariah thanked everyone for their love and support as she accepted
her award.
With her idol in the front row, Kelly
Rowland joined Raekwon for a cover of MC’s ODB-assisted hit “Fantasy.” “I love
and respect her so much,” said Kelly. “I have to look at her forehead when I’m
singing and not her eyes ’cause I know I’m gonna break out in tears.”
Common, Jennifer Hudson, Aretha
Franklin, Queen Latifah, Willow Smith, Jill Scott, and First Lady Michelle
Obama were also on hand to salute the honorees. The special will air during
Black History Month on February 13.
