The BET Honors 2010, the third annual gathering of its kind, was held last night. Amongst others, Queen Latifah, P. Diddy, and Whitney Houston were honored.
Part of the honor laid on for Whitney was a performance of I Believe In You and Me by Kim Burrell, which can be seen, and more importantly heard, in the video above.
Burrell is a gospel jazz singer who is much loved and revered by many divas, Whitney included. Neo introduced Burrell on to the stage, and Whitney remained standing at the front clearly enraptured throughout.
If I’m honest, I didn’t think Burrell did that great. She has talent, granted, but she’s hardly world class. Maybe there’s something I’m not seeing, especially as I’d never heard of the woman before seeing this video.
