really a prayer?
not everyone is religious.
Mkhay, ms Houston was, she started in the church and this was a fitting tribute.
Yes not everyone is religious, but Whitney was. She went to church and believed in God. He clearly said for HIM, he thought is was appropriate. You could have changed the channel before he started. GET OVER IT.
That was SO kind of him to do that!
people dont have to be religious LL said for him this is what he wanted to do for her out of respect.
@mkhay: Then don’t pray their is no gun to the head.
LL is a classy guy.
The whole Country could use more prayer at this time more than ever since Faith is under attack by our govt and the media.
my condeloscenes to the Houston family, and to Whitney Houston we will always love you, you are the queen of pop and have left a legacy that will live into infinity and your music will always be here….rest in peace my dear sister you are now in the arms of the Lord…god bless love you dwp
@mkhay: Like everyone else said, it was simply LL’s way of saying “goodbye”. Everyone else has been and will do the same at some point. Stop being so critical and judgmental.
I think it was very touching and appropriate. Whitney started in the church and even if all those artist where not religious most bowed there head to show respect.
Good job LL Cool, his words were appropiate for Ms.Houston and her family. May they find peace in the difficult days ahead
@GHU:
