The worst performance was with Brian McKnight trying 2 imitate P with guitar and song on the order of Call My Name..lol He was absolutely horrible. The guitar part was a joke. Anyway the Soul Train Awards has really gone down. It’s crap. Hardly any of the recipients showed up 2 received there awards but old boy (Usher) made sure he was there 2 receive those shitty awards... Usher did thank Micheal, JB and P in his acceptance award speech. That was 4 album of the year which P was also nominated wink

Did u see Brian’s performance? He looked so stupid and out of place with that guitar. He really didn’t play it much and what little strings he did play were way out of tune. He was very embarrassing. He know he can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.. lol
Don't be suprised if u see him next on VH1’s most embarrassing moments

I'm not because the Soul Train awards ain't nothin' but a joke and I look at it this way. He won 2 Grammies. The REAL award that counts and he's getting the Vanguard award at the NAACP image awards for his groundbreaking work.

Now I'm waiting on the BET Walk of Fame and maybe this year at the 2005 BET awards he'll get an achievement award there.

Yeah, the Soul Train awards hae really gone down hill. That mess was bad.

And I believe the weekly show needs to go off. I mean damn! Are they getting the dancers str8 from the strip club? I miss the old days of the train and I'm on 29.

Don needs to pull the plug already.

the Usher show, i mean the soul train awards, was bunk. Usher, is good, but let's be real, he ain't that damn good. boy can't even play an instrument, he don't write his own songs, all he does is sang and dance. every slow song on his album sounds the same. all the uptempo songs, sound the same. Usher is not above Prince. Justin Timberlake is better than usher cos at least JT writes his own stuff. anyway, to think that Usher wins every award he is up for is just well, bull sh*t. Any one of us, with the right amount of funds, could go and get lil jon and luda to talk shi* on our song, and make it "hot" at least in the young people of today's eyes. Usher should not have won against call my name. CMN is superior to anything on Confessions.

done ranting.

JT is about the same as Usher and the Neptunes wrote those songs for Justin. Even if he got some credit for some lyrics they're nothing without the beats/music. Kinda like Mariah taking credit for songwriting.

I'm getting too old for this. neutral lol

Is that show still on the air? Hell, I thought by now it would be called the "Hip Hop Train". It should go on off the air, or at least change it's name, because it is destroying the memory of what used to be a damn good show.

I'm glad to see Don Cornelius got the hell out with some dignity.

Timberlake wrote 99% of the lyrics on his album, Brian Mcknight did a vocal, but the rest was timberlake.

he's not the same as Usher cos he can write, play piano.

sure no one is HOt without the right beats, but Usher is way overblown.

as far as mariah goes, she has written some good songs, they were all between her debut album and butterfly, but she has written some of her material.

usher is bunk, garbage, trash, no good and a waste of "talent" listen to the fonky baldheadz song, soundasame...sums it up pretty well.

I'm glad you bought that up. Is the MTV icon still on because I don't recall MTV having one last year?

Who the hell is Ciara and how does she get an award named after the great Sammy Davis Jr.?? Damn, what's up with these people at Soul Train?

The only music awards show I give any time to is the Grammys. Granted, they are not what they once were, but at least they award different genres of music and they try to recognize the true greats once it a while too. The rest of the music award shows suck!!

Thank you for answering my question I asked on a recent tread I made up. I asked if Usher wrote or co-wrote any songs and I never got an answer until you answered it. That's where I'm puzzled. How is Usher gon' demand publishing rights to this song that he claimed J.Lo stoled from him when she sampled the horn section for Get Right when he sampled just like she did, it's not original on either party's songs and he didn't write the mutha###fa. He just recorded it?

done ranting.

He won't be the BET Walk of Fame honoree this year because every year they alternate between male and female. They honored Smokey Robinson last year so it'll be a female honoree this year.

You ain't never lied! However, Don is still the Executive Producer and he needs to pull the plug.

But The TV Land Awards did a nice tribute to Soul Train. It was cool. Don got a lifetime achievement award.
