The night opened with an amazing performance by a lovely TONI BRAXTON &TREY SONGZ where they performed "YESTERDAY" off her new album, "PULSE". The two artists stunned viewers by giving each other one very 'intimate' KISS! Definitely a brilliant way to start the show!!!

A very sexy performance by TREY SONGZ left many girls on my Twitter "glued to their screens without blinking", "having thoughts they shouldn't" and "left breathless" when he performed his single "I INVENTED SEX" off his new album "READY". My thoughts? Well when you are as fine as TREY SONGZ, then why not give the ladies what they want to hear (IN HIS MUSIC OF COURSE!). Watch the video here:

Many artists graced the stage to pay tribute to MOTOWN RECORDS to celebrate 50 years of Motown's success including Barbadian Rising Stars HAL LINTON and VITA CHAMBERS. HAL LINTON performed alongside Canadian born MELANIE FIONA , where they sang "THROUGH THE GRAPE VINES". VITA CHAMBERS performed "GET READY" with ESTELLE whilst BOYS II MEN performed their hit song "END OF THE ROAD". "MY, MY, MY" was performed by JOHNNY GILL and MIKE PHILLIPS and CHICO DEBARGE performed "I LIKE IT".
I must say BOYS II MEN really have aged!!!
MUSIC SOULCHILD & ANTHONY HAMILTON introduced an extremely soulful CHRISETTE MICHELE. where she sang "EPIPHANY". Talented ROBIN THICKE performed his new single "SEX THERAPY" and believe me when I say he has a way of making you want to stop everything you are doing just to listen to his sweet voice. Here is his performance.
MARIO performed "BREAK UP" whilst singer/songwriter RYAN LESLIE performed "TRANSITION"
A special tribute was also paid to CHARLIE WILSON, also known as "UNCLE CHARLIE".

The night ended off with a massive tribute to the one and only, CHAKA KHAN. She was awarded as "SOUL TRAIN'S AWARD ICON". Involved in the tribute were ERYKAH BADU, singing "STAY", FANTASIA performing "TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD", LEDISI with "THROUGH THE FIRE" and ANGIE STONE singing "AINT NOBODY" with the entire cast.
This event was the platform for the beginning of BET's new network "CENTRIC" and what a BRILLIANT FOUNDATION to build on.
All in all the night was great and I enjoyed sharing it with all of you and keeping you updated all throughout the show from the RED CARPET to the AWARDS following through to the END OF THE SHOW.
