LL Cool J Opens Grammys With Prayer For Whitney Houston
Sincere prayer on a Hollywood stage? You don "t see that every day, but Sunday
was not an average day. At the beginning of the 2012 Grammy Awards, host LL
Cool J paid tribute to Whitney Houston, who died the previous day at 48.
"There "s no way around this," he said, addressing a silent crowd.
"We "ve had a death in our family, and so at least for me, the only thing
that feels right is to begin with a prayer for a woman we loved, for our fallen
sister, Whitney Houston."
