The Soul train Awards stopped being iconic years ago. I made the mistake of watching this lame disorganized show last year and in my opinion the producers should of never brought it back.
they sucked as hosts last year so i guess i should expect the same from them this year!
Invite only, huh?
lets not have them host and say we did..
Huey Baby! That was funny as Hell…
Soul Train has gone to the dogs. You would think they would take heed that everybody enjoys watching to old shows from back in the day. My husband was hooked. Remember when Shamar Moore used to host it??? I knew then it was a “wrap”.
