The 2013 Soul Train Awards, which aired tonight, saw R&B’s finest go head-to-head for the show’s coveted trophies.
With the likes of Urban music’s finest, including Kendrick Lamar, Tamar Braxton, Justin Timberlake, K.Michelle and more leading the nominations tally with at least 5 nods a piece, the competition was stiff in ways we’ve only seen from Britney Spears in the past.

OK who did Miguel sleep with to win that award? Not when Francine Ocean had the better album.
The winners list looks ok apart from that one.
Awww Ciara finally won something! 🙂
This award show is truly for the lessors lol.
hater
Lana has no Grammys and Ciara has one lmao go to sleep h**
Ur fave gets one top ten and u hype
I Congratulate real talent not tumblr hype trash without a platinum album
And these awards aren’t voted on by the public FYI a panel does them and they can’t be purchased like AMA icon awards
a show that actually awards good talent-thank u lord.
Get it Ciara!! And plenty more to come congrats girl
Ciara isn’t afraid to release music last time I checked 😆 😆
Yay ciara! Hopefully next a grammy. & congrats the other winners too 🙂
Congratulations Cici you deserve it
Congratulations Luke James… Where is that album?.. Saw you in Vancouver last night… Amazing.. I don’t think any male singers can touch you at this time…
PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO MAKE ME DANCE.. MJ MADE US DANCE.. THAT IS ALL YOU ARE MISSING… SOMETHING FUNKY AND FOREVER….
DEAD at FAKEmar and her ridiculous tears and speech like she won a Grammy….girl, it’s a soul train, same level as a BET award….
I guess the SOUL Train awards are the only awards that didn’t slob JT’s knob.
Nice one Tamar on awards, but that performance outfit, actually I just leave the comment positive cus chileeee lol.
Very Happy for Robin Thicke because at least one award she recognises that Blurred Lines was a HUGE hit.
Congrats all
Nah. Frank Ocean was overrated in 2012 and had no impact in 2013. Miguel had hits and sold more records in 2013 than Frank. Plus urban radio ain’t really checking for Frank like that.
I don’t consider Frank Ocean’s album to be R&B/Soul. I don’t know, what do you think? It could be Pop (Michael Jackson). It’s definitely PBR&B (hipster R&B, alternative R&B) and neo soul.
channel Orange was better than KD. Maybe it’s cause I’m a tumblr hipster but CO went gold without any Radio help bedsides them playing Thinking Bout You. KD sold 321K. Men Lie, Woman Lie , Numbers Don’t. Neither do the Grammy’s.
Yasss Miguel congrats babe. @Lovebird stfu Frank Ocean was overrated and overhyped.
big ups to bungi garlin winning best international, TRINIDAD TO DA WORLD!!!! #differentology
KMSl at these comments ya’ll some hating ass b****** kmsl it is what it is yall cant change nun so stfu!!!
THANK SO MUCH. YOU KNOW THE VOTING WAS RIGGED. “FAKEMAR”. PLEASE, THE CHOICES THEY HAD. JUST SMH
