BET to Enlist "Top Divas" For Whitney Houston Tribute

Along with Whitney's mother, Cissy Houston, BET is set to enlist music's "top divas" to pay tribute to the legendary Whitney Houston yet these names have yet to be announced. Other performers who will be performing at the event ranges along the likes of Kanye West to Chris Brown and Usher.

In recent years, BET have gained a reputation for building up these "amazing tributes" then failing to live up to the hype (e.g. BET Awards 2009) so hopefully they get the right people like Mariah Carey not Keri Flopson.
