Yolanda Adams brought down the house and received a standing ovation with a rendition of Toni’s smash hit “Un-break My Heart.”

Toni’s sisters, Traci, Towanda, and Trina, paid homage to their sister by performing “Breathe Again.” Hmmm … we wonder why Tamar didn’t perform.

It’s definitely not an awards show without DJ Khaled in the building. He joined his protégé, Kent Jones, for a performance of his debut song “I Don’t Mind.”

Congrats to all of the esteemed honorees.
