Five-time Grammy Award-winning singer Christina Aguilera announced that she will perform a tribute to the late great Whitney Houston (winner of seven Grammys) at the American Music Awards. The tribute will also celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film The Bodyguard with Houston’s co-star Kevin Costner, who spoke at Whitney’s funeral in 2012. Xtina told her fans on social media that she’s “excited, honored and humbled” to sing a tribute to “one of my idols.”
If Xtina’s tribute to James Brown — when she sang “It’s a Man’s World” at the 49th Grammy Awards in 2007 (see video below) — is any indicator of what’s to come at the 2017 AMAs, grab an extra blanket while you watch because the producers of the AMAs say the performance will be “chill-inducing, epic and un-for-gett-able.”American Music Awards will be televised on Sunday, November 19 at 8pm on ABC.
