Lilkunta, Whitney definitely deserves this. Whitney has sold over 180 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide. She is an icon and deserves this. Lady Gaga is talented but too young in early career to get this award. This is a distinguished award. Thank you.
Nippy.....deserves it that's all I can say. I love her and yes she will always be the best no matter what.
Whitney completely deserves the International Award. People in the U.S. think Taylor Swift and Gaga are huge everywhere - they're not. Non-Americans are also less hypocritical of their stars.
i love Whitney...i hope she can doa good performance. She deserves everything, cause is one of the best singers ever.
whitney houston deserves the award - she's was and still is an amazing artis - sure she's had her ups and downs but even now she is so much better then many of the so called wannabes out there and her return has been a success worldwide.
@christin: WRONG. Check the stats. Taylor Swift is #1 biggest selling female artists in the US this year.___ I'm glad WH is back but please STOP GIVING AWARDS WHEN NOT DESERVED! WH isnt deserving of the 'international artists award'. That should be Gaga who charted in so many countries worldwide.
She deserves it more than anyone. She is the #1 biggest selling female artist in the US this year. And #1 album in 10 countries. That really says something!!!!!!!!!!! This woman is not over yet. And she IS stronger than EVER!!!!
i am so happy for Whitney. She deserves very much. I am looking forward to seeing her perform next Sunday.
