00:00I got the chance to go to the 2019 Soul Train Awards and sit behind John B, and I just feel like everything's right in the world.
00:09Listen, I had to pause from getting ready for this after party because this year's Soul Train Awards was just so deliciously black.
00:17If you don't understand why this year's live Soul Train Awards was the blackest thing I've ever been to since Essence Festival, allow me to over-explain it to you.
00:27Oh my God. That S.O.S. band performance with Mary Davis and our good old Uncle Abdul and them dance moves.
00:36We know Uncle Abdul. We all got that uncle. All in the legs.
00:41What could be said about Yolanda Adams that hasn't been said about angels?
00:46Yolanda Adams was like, who's doing my tribute? I'll do it. Let me drop my award in the back and change my dress.
00:51She is deserving of so many things, and I'm so glad that the Soul Train Awards gave her the Woman of Soul Award
00:55because the amount of souls that she has saved.
01:00Mm. Hallelujah.
01:02They brought all the sexy R&B boys out right after Yolanda Adams, and I just felt like I needed to get some prayer cloths or something.
01:13It was a sexy performance. I loved it, but I was uncomfortable after Yolanda came out there and blessed us,
01:18and then they were like, the amount of screaming that had to be scrimped from my body.
01:24Because how dare y'all just bring all these legends, sounds of blackness, and Nesby just screaming and singing all over the place.
01:32Them Morris Day and them had the nerve to come out with the silver suit and the, oh, yo, yo.
01:37Well, you guys, just being black, you know, it's a privilege.
01:45I got my life to Wale's performance, like, sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's black.
01:52The wig changes, the outfit changes, the dancing, the, just, the talent jumped out.
01:59Until the next time an award show feels like a black barbecue in somebody's backyard,
02:03I'm Danielle Young, and this is The Overexplainer Reacts,
02:07and I wish you love, peace, and soul.
02:11Ahem.
