Nas introduced the show finale and Amy Winehouse tribute, saying:
It didn't matter where she was from or what the colour of her skin was, because Amy Winehouse was my true soul sister.
He went on to say: "I'm here to honour a woman who had enough soul to last a lifetime. I wish she was here tonight, but 'Like Smoke', Amy Winehouse is still in the air lingering around all of us and she'll be here for a long time to come."
