Whitney Houston Honored with 2012 Billboard Millennium Award

Being recognized with an emotionally charged salute for her life achievements, the late Whitney Houston was selected as the recipient of the Billboard Millennium Award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night (May 20).

The “I Will Always Love You” singer – who tragically passed away on February 11th – was honored with a tribute led off by comedian Whoopi Goldberg, who said, “I adored Whitney Houston. What all performers want and need and should get is love, and many of us here loved Whitney, and even if you’re one of those who didn’t show the love to Whitney, now is your chance, because tonight, that’s what we’re doing: We’re going to be giving Whitney the greatest love of all.”
