Whitney Houston: BET's Inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
WHITNEY HOUSTON 

She is The Voice of this generation. From the opening notes of her hit “I Will Always Love You,” she sings the heartbreak out of every line. Whitney has worked with some of the top songwriters and producers of all time, and has crafted some of history’s best pop records. While others might get over with dancing and theatrics, with Whitney, it all comes back to her mesmerizing, God-given golden pipes. She’s sold more records than just about anyone else, and her name is synonymous with vocal prowess. She may be years older than some of her flashier, teenybopper contemporaries, but they ain’t got it like she does. Without a doubt, Whitney with her consistent hits and incredible range, is the very personification of lifetime achievement.
