Bobbi Kristina

She has had a troubled time since the death of her mother three months ago. But Bobbi Kristina Brown tonight delivered a touching tribute to Whitney Houston at the Billboard Music Awards.

The 19-year-old accepted the special Millennium Award on behalf of her late mother, after she was escorted onto the stage by her adopted brother Nick Gordon and received a quick kiss from him. The teen had been reduced to tears while watching an emotional video dedicated to the singer.

But Bobbi Kristina was well-spoken and composed when it came to delivering her poignant speech, with Whitney’s sister-in-law and manager Pat Houston by her side, who also gave am introduction.

Bobbi Kristina said: ‘I just really want ‘Thank you so much for showing that much love, because she deserved it. She did. I’m just blessed to have been in such an incredible woman’s life.’ She added: ‘There will never be another one ever, and I thank you, all of you – the fans, everyone. Thank you so much.’ During the speech, the camera cut to Brandy, the sister of Whitney’s former flame Ray J.

The singer could be seen mouthing the words ‘never ever’ while Bobbi Kristina spoke about her mother’s uniqueness. There were also tributes to the diva, who died aged 48 on February 11, in the form of performances.

After an introduction by Whoopi Goldberg, John Legend sang Greatest Love of All while Jordin Sparks delivered an emotional rendition of I Will Always Love You. During Jordin’s performance, cameras followed Bobbi Kristina who was seen sobbing at the tribute.
