VH1 Soul Vibe Awards Special to Recognize the Best in Entertainment

Urban publication Vibe Magazine has joined forces with VH1 Soul to recognize the best of the best in music, movies and fashion. The one-hour awards special will allow fans to vote for their favorites, which will include superstar artists like Kanye West, T.I., Diddy, and Rihanna.

R&B goddess and the Irreplaceable one herself, Beyonce Knowles, is in the lead with four nominations including for R&B artist of the Year and VH1 Soul Video of the Year but will she leave with them all? It's up to the fans.

One who has been missing from the awards for the last year, singer/songwriter R. Kelly is making a return with three nods, two of which are for his song, Same Girl with fellow R&B singer and newly married, Usher. Question is, will the self-proclaimed Piped Piper be in attendance or will his prior obligations keep him away once again?

Viewers will find out when the VH1 Soul Vibe Awards Special airs on November 14^th at 9pm ET on VH1 Soul and on November 19^th at 10pm ET on VH1. The awards show will be hosted by Grammy-award winning rapper Eve.
