Ms. Ross stated "It's all bout love," as she accepted her award with her family by her side, and danced with her grandchildren during her epic performance.

Christina Aguilera took the stage to honor Whitney Houston and the 25th anniversary of The Bodyguard with an incredible homage, performing hit tracks "I Will Always Love You," "I'm Every Woman," "I Have Nothing," and "Run To You."
