Soul Train Music Awards
The
Soul Train Music Awards annually recognizes outstanding performances
in R&B, hip-hop, rap and gospel.
After a two-year
hiatus, the Soul Train Awards are back in 2009, with the return
of Whitney
Houston and her nomination for a Best Female R&B award
at this year's festivities.
Leading 2009
contenders included Beyonce,
Maxwell and Keri Hilson each with four nominations. Nominations
were announced in October, followed by the live presentation ceremony,
hosted by Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, on November 3
in Atlanta, Georgia. The show will later air in a simulcast on
both BET and cable channel CENTRIC on November 29 at 9PM ET.
