Last night, BET and Centric aired the 2010 Soul Train Music Awards. Despite what everyone says, I do not think it was a bad event. If you could take away the corny skits between Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson, the show was quite enjoyable.

R. Kelly opened the show (if you know me, you already know how much I dislike R. Kelly) – but last night, he won me over. He started off with some of his hits from the 90′s and then performed his current single, “When A Woman Loves.”

The tributes to music legends Anita Baker and Ronald Isley were well done. The artists chosen to perform the songs were diverse and beyond talented. Other performers include Erykah Badu, Ne-Yo, Cee-Lo and Jazmine Sullivan.

My only critique about the show is that there were not a lot of awards of given out. I think I only remember seeing three awards announced (other than the tributes). If only Terrance and Taraji skits were cut to see more of the show…
