Why does it matter what gospel artist sings? They all minister. Receive it. Get blessed. You might be through with Donnie, Shirley, or Kirk, but God is not through with them yet. It’s still their season. You listen to the SAME pastor every week, so I am sure it won’t hurt to hear the same singers bring it in a new and exciting way.

I agree with Big Dogg…I do enjoy everyone that will be participating but it’s time for some new entertainment. BET plzzzzzz don’t leave us hangin’ GOD has blessed so many of the blk gospel artist that we need to be exposed and introduced to others, Bobby Jones can’t sing so let somone else take his place. Whatever happen to “JoAnn Roserio?” She was one of Fred Hammond’s artist. “God’s Chosen?” It really dosen’t matter though I’m gonna watch anyway, and take a break when Bobby Jones come on.

I thing you should get artist like Da’ T.R.U.T.H., Lacrae, Trip Lee, FLAME, Ambassador, Leah Smith, Steven the Levite, Shai Linne and J.R……. just got to crossmovement.com or lampmode.com

i agree with Bigg Dog… The same ol smae ol same ol be at any thing that BET does. From Nominees to guests it gets old. Its more to gospel music then Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary. Dont get me wrong I love them to death. But there is more gopsel giants than that.

I can’t wait to see that happen

BEVERLY CRAWFORD SHOULD BE ON THERE! It’s a shame after all these years and BET never let this woman be on COG! After all she got her START on BET (BJG)! Plus she had such a great year!

Yo! i agree with everybody i mean like yo Vickie Winans dont need to be up there this year…im sorry i Love u but they should’ve got her son Mavin Winans Jr (his album is fire!) Also why isnt Kiki up there…as well as Deitrick Haddon, Joshua Troop, & Dorinda Clark Cole….i mean like Come On BET ya’ll slummin but imma still watch it cuz Mary Mary is up there but other than that im not surprised this year at all…maybe there are some surprises on the actual show!

I was going to come on and echo some of the same thoughts that BET should have artists like Flame from Cross Movement Records on the lineup. He was nominated for a Grammy and a Stellar Award!

But I’m just happy and applaud BET for showcasing Gospel on their national platform. We’d all be complaining if they didn’t have it, so I’m just glad they did.

I do too, however, feel like they are jading some of the other national artists like Flame.

Guess what B.E.T, It goes to show you can’t please everyone. I will be watching .

Deitrick Haddon needs to be on their period. Im tired of the sam ol same ol reach the young people

Lecrae should be there.

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR AND SEE MORE OF THE WILLIAMS BROTHERS, AND LEE WILLIAMS. I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THESE GUYS. I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

wELL, i was there the night of the taping, and i thought it was GREAT!
although i don’t have cable on a regular, it would be hard for me to talk about the repeats.. but i will say each artist has their own individuality that they bring.. and should be appreciated in tht way!!
Y’all must don’t remember when Don Cornelius 1st started Soul Train, and ONLY had 2 SPONSORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posner with Natalie Cole, and Soft Sheen or was it … i forget the other one, but the same 2 commercials for EVERY BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (for a whole hour!)
THAT’S WHAT HE HAD TO DO!!!!!!! to keep the show runnin’ … not to mention they NEVER gave him a REGULAR SPOT, for i don’t know how long… so lets please COUNT OUR BLESSINGS…. now you know we WOULD BE COMPLAINING if no- one EVER CAME ON!!! O.K.
LET’S JUST COUNT AND BE GLAD… WE GOT SOMEBODY TO SHOW & REPRESENT!!!!!!!!
AMEN!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!

Please someone tell me who sang “never could have made it” in this special. I can’t figure it out.

I like the aray of gospel stars, but what happen to having some that haven’t performed on the show, like – John Pee, and the good-good song I made it………Its all good, but I would like to hear some different artist also..

It really doesn’t matter who performs to me as long as we all get to worship God. I am really grateful that the you have given the r&b singers and rappers a chance to let there voice about our Lord and Savior be heard.

The Artist are chosen by whose album just came out, or who’s album is a major hit! So, it may seem that it’s the same people, but it’s the people who are producing the hits! AND MARY MARY IS OFF THE CHAIN! ANYTIME THEY COME ON THE CELEBRATION OF GOSPEL IS A BLESSING TO ME!

Here we go again! Another year of the same Gospel artists… Like everyone else on this blog board, I do agree that we need to change the venue of Christian artists. As an young devout Christian, Celebration of Gospel need to include an more diverse of Christian artists, especially Christian rap artists like: Lecrae, Tripp Lee, Sho Baraka, Cross Movement, and so forth. I am not knocking down the Gospel artists that will be performing on the show. Hey, God has allow their talents to be seen and His Light to be shine, so that everybody can come together to praise, worship, and adore Him. However, what about the other “underground” Christian artists? Really, why not Rance Allen, Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson, or Joann Rosario? Them, and like I mentioned earlier, Christian rap artists? Personally, I think that the BET Gospel Industry doesn’t want artists in the above sentences is because they PREACH the truth or “Tell it Like It Is”! Kirk Franklin and the rest of the rest of the other artists is…um…hmm… “Crossover” artists. Since they appeal to both the secular world and Christian world, BET puts them to perform, so that they can make money off of them and the “Crossover” crew can claim more money, fame, etc. Ok, I need to finish up, but I also have to say something else: Why is LL Cool J performing on the Celebration of Gospel? That doesn’t make sense! Christians and secular people are not suppose to be unequally yoke together! Please, can someone tell me if I am wrong of thinking these thoughts?

Gospel is a ministry…….. not a show! God is real the song should be ministred for the edfication of the kingdom…..ye ll cool j is performin…. c thats the thing hes just performin……. there is very much so an artist that can take his spot… bet is loosing focus.. God ant in to hollywood .
