The highly-anticipated return of the Soul Train Awards was not an event taken lightly. From the very vein that Soul Train finds its lifeblood, the past and the present were bridged in perfect harmony. The tribute performances were the highlight of the evening. However, the show’s two uber-animated hosts, Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard, did their fair share of bringing a fun, lighthearted air to the event.
The show began with a blond-tressed Toni Braxton, playing the piano for her duet with Trey Songz. It was a steamy and flirty performance, that of course reached its apex when Trey gave Toni a passionate kiss. It was brief, but definitely enough to surprise the audience and prepare them for the excitement of what was to come.Terrence and Taraji did some singing of their own with a rendition of Peaches and Herb’s “Reunited,” before they proceeded into the first of many hilarious skits that would punctuate the broadcast. The pair’s biggest moment came near the end of the show. Taraji exited the stage after coyly accepting a chain and pendant from Terrance. She then ran back onto the stage and gave him a long, passionate kiss—even slipping in some visible tongue.
