Soul Train Awards 2011-It's Just Not The Same Awards Show It Was years ago

Before there was the Source Awards, B.E.T Awards,etc.etc, The Soul Train Awards was the most anticipated awards show that we(African Americans) looked forward to watching every year. If it wasn't for my daughter(YaYa is a big Mindless Behavior fan..lol),I would not have known that the 2011 Soul Train Awards(courtesy of B.E.T) show was broad casted last night on the Centric channel. Usually on Sunday nights I'm watching Sunday Night Football(Steelers Vs Chiefs..which was actually a good game) & then I click on the DVR to watch "Real Housewives of Atlanta"(Kandi looks like she got the "nicki minaj" butt special surgery..lol). But on this particular Sunday night, I was watching a series called "Torchwood" on Starz OnDemand(great show!)
Once I finished watching Episode 104 of Torchwood, I decided to skip "Real Housewives" & save it for the next day & see what the Soul Train Awards was all about. Boy Was I disappointed.
I was glad to see them give out Legend Awards to Gladys Knight & Earth,Wind & Fire. I wasn't too excited about the choice of singers they used to sing these legends greatest hits.(Tamar Braxton singing Gladys Knight? Debra Lee & Stephen Hill should have both hands tied behind their back and be pimped smacked 10 times a piece by Bubba Knight & the rest of the Pips for that decision.lol).
Miguel looked super gay(probably on purpose..hmmmm) & the Soul Train Scramble Board skits were so corny.
The ONLY highlight of the show was Cedric The Entertainer doing what he does best. I only wish he had longer to do his thing. It was so much cut & pasting going on, like whoever star's name was called to receive their award, you see a camera shot of them getting up out of their seat and then BOOM their own stage.lol.
The Heavy D tribute was touching. There were too many rappers on stage to do it though.(Goodie Mob had no business doing Heavy D tribute..and I f*cks with Goodie!!)
Over all, The Soul Train Awards Show of 2011 was one of those shows that makes me say, "I love my MTV!"(Sad, but so true...) #GoLive
