Congratulations To The 2015 Soul Train Awards Winners!!!
This year Erykah Badu killed it as the host of the 2015 Soul Train Awards and we would like to say Congratulations To The 2015 Soul Train Awards Winners.
This was the MOST viewed Soul Train Awards in years thanks to the queen of Soul, Erykah Badu! There were many highlights, but one standout was when Erykah Badu threw SHADE at Iggy Azalea for NOT being a true hip hop artist.
This years Soul Train Music Award was definitely wall-to-wall soul inside the Orleans Arena as a parade of established and emerging acts delivered powerful performances, including Tyrese (who won the Centric Certified Award), R. Kelly, Jazmine Sullivan, Cameo, Erica Campbell, Tasha Cobbs, Empire’s V. Bozeman and After 7. Badu, along with Chrisette Michele, K-Ci Hailey, Lalah Hathaway and Eddie Levert, brought the audience to its feet during the inaugural Soul Train Soul Cypher.
Badu, who revealed that “They gave me an associate producer’s role this year.”
She added:
“I was a part of the show from its inception. And as a writer on the show, they allowed me to be super loose. So it created a really comfortable, fun atmosphere. I was tickled most of the time.”
It really showed, because this time Badu breathed new life into the Soul Train Awards. The show had become rather bland, but NOT this year. Erykah Badu was stellar, enlightening, and truthfully comedic with her delivery.
We hope that they have her back for 2016.
