Here's a wrap-up of the event: "Jamie Foxx and Mary J. Blige are in the Soul Train Music Awards spotlight. They won best-album honors in the 21st annual bash last night in Pasadena, California: Foxx for "Unpredictable" and Blige was honored for her album, "The Breakthrough." Jennifer Hudson, who won the best-supporting-actress Oscar last month for "Dreamgirls," was given the Sammy Davis Junior Award for Entertainer of the Year. John Legend won best male single for "Save Room," and Gnarls Barkley won for best single in the category of group, band or duo for "Crazy." Also at the Soul Train Music Awards, Jay-Z won the Michael Jackson award for best soul or rap video for "Show Me What You Got." The Isley Brothers Featuring Ronald Isley won best album for a group, band or duo for "Baby Makin' Music." Ne-Yo was awarded best new soul or rap artist for "Sexy Love." Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds was presented the Stevie Wonder Award for Outstanding Career Achievement in Song Writing." [source]

Well if you're wondering where was the other R&B artists that won and didn't show up, Yahoo News has the answer for you.
"Can they really call it an awards show if most of the winners don't turn up? That could be the conundrum facing the organizers of Saturday's decidedly low-key Soul Train Music Awards, which honor the best performers in the soul, R&B and rap fields. Eight of the 10 winners in the competitive categories did not show up at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium ceremony, including recent Grammy honorees Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, John Legend and Gnarls Barkley." [source]
The 21st Annual Soul Train Awards will broadcast in syndication between March 17th and March 24th.

At least Robin is getting some love. "Lost WIhtout You" is such a great song. He probably wrote that about his wife. I think it's great how he includes her into his music career. She was on this first album cover and she was also in his music video. (they've been together since he was 14.)
rev run probably didn't want to come there but I guess his daughters talk him into coming, lol! i can't wait until the new season of 'run's house' to come up. they're entertaining to watch over and over again.
jackie o i know she reps ghetto fab 24/7 but those tats threw us the "fab" part of her dress. maybe a long sleeved mini dress would have work for her.

Jennifer Hudson looks fabulous. But kudos to Janet, Baby, Shemar, LeToya, Omarion and many more for showing up and not shunning the event like they're too good now. Mary should've been there. She has come a long way and she was crying on the Grammys and couldn't cry and show gratitude to Soul Train for once again recognizing her especially where she's come from. Soul Train has alway supported Mary. Indie Irie was she there?? If not, she should've been. Enuf said!
so there is life after destiny's child ? go head on miss luckett. do the damn thang !!!
jhud is gonna get cut. lmao
i love robin thicke and i can't wait to see him perform. he's getting alot of love from the black community . he's a truly talented man .
congratz to all the winners ( even the ones i don't like lol)
