Finally, what we’ve been waiting for! The Sunday Best 3 stage!

The final 20 have been chosen and there’s no going back. We are NO LONGER in audition mode. So let’s have a collective “woosah” shall we? Wooooooo SAHHHHHH (Oooh, I almost felt something on that woosah! Ha!) Read the rest of this entry »

Sup folks! Sorry for being late on this. I was actually on a plane trying to get home from New Orleans when the episode aired and couldn’t blog right after the show.  (And we won’t talk about the thunderstorm that delayed me even more..) So umm yeah, I’m a little late, but y’all are going to let me slide right?

Well, here we are in our last audition city New Orleans, LA; Sunday Best’s new home for Season 3. Let’s get started, shall we? Read the rest of this entry »

Sup folks! This week for Sunday Best 3 we’re in Philly. But I’m going to get right to the recap. You’ve had enough intro! Ha! Read the rest of this entry »

We’re baaaaaaackkkkkkkk! It seems like it’s been forever and just like yesterday all at the same time since we last crowned Y’Anna Crawley as the winner of Sunday Best 2. Now the search of the next Sunday Best is ON again! Well, the wait is over. So let’s just get down to it. Read the rest of this entry »

Sup folks!

I know it’s been a minute and I promised I’d be better in 2010 with the regular updates, well I promise, I will.  The last few weeks have been crazy. Between Stellar Awards, Sunday Best Auditions and the recordings of Greg Roberts & Soulful Celebration and Jonathan Nelson & Purpose on top of my regular job at BET.com, I’ve been stretched all the way thin!

Sup folks, gonna keep this one short because with this news, I’m sure you’re going to want to rush and register.

As you know, Sunday Best Auditions begin next week and if last season is any indictation, thousands of people are sure to come and audition in each city.  If you think you have what it takes, you should audition too. But wouldn’t it be nice if you could skip the line, and audition in a private VIP room in front of me and some celebrity judges and find out if you’ve been called back to audition for Mary Mary and Donnie McClurkin in half the time?

Sup folks! Stellar Awards weekend in Nashville was a beast. It was literally non stop and I don’t think I slept the entire time.  Well I’ve had some time to regroup and decompress.  You didn’t think I was just going to go and not tell you about it right? I can be selfish and funny acting but Im’ not that bad.

My first major event of the weekend was the 11th Annual BMI Trailblazers Of Gospel Luncheon to honor Donnie McClurkin & Andrae Crouch at Rockettown. Not only was it my first event of the weekend but it was also my first BMI luncheon ever. After hearing about it for all these years, I was excited to finally be in the mix.  As soon as I walked into the venue I knew that it was going to be first class all the way.

This post may be short. Because it’s really not about my “commentary” but about the song and the cause.

During this past Stellar Awards weekend, Kirk Franklin and a TON of the gospel artists in town came together to record a song to inspire, comfort and raise funds for the people affected by the recent earthquakes in Haiti.  A gospel “We Are The World” if you will. I think the gospel industry ought to be commended for this effort and I support it fully and hope you will too. Read the rest of this entry »

As I’ve mentioned before, this weekend I’ll be in Nashville for the 25th Annual Stellar Awards.  And like I’ve also mentioned, like any other awards show,  some the best events are the ones that happen before and after the actual show.  For example,  Clive Davis’ star studded (we use that term to much but it works) Pre – Grammy party is probably the biggest event that weekend outside of the Grammy’s.  Well, when it comes to gospel and the Stellar Awards, the annual BMI Trailblazers Of Gospel Luncheon would be Clive’s equivalent!  Read the rest of this entry »

Sup folks.  I can’t believe that 2009 is almost wrapped up, tied up, and ready to go! So many things have happened this year, especially in gospel music.  Highs, lows, and even a few “shake ya head” in between moments.  So I decided to go over the musical moments of 2009 and put them in the lovely categories reminiscent of our childhood love notes. “Yes, No, and Maybe.”  Because it’s been quite a full year, I’ll be breaking this post up into 3 or so parts, so bear with me. Consider this, Part 1. Let’s do it! Read the rest of this entry »
