5. Don’t forget to tune in to “Sunday Best” & “Exalted” on BET on Tuesday night! I’ve really been enjoying watching these shows. I’m so proud that Gospel Music is being portrayed in such a wonderful way. The past weeks shows on “Exalted” have been on Bishop Kenneth Ulmer and Bishop Paul Morton, and they provided information to me that I had not known about these great leaders. I love to watch autobiographies because you get a sense of what makes a person who they are. A lot of people see others for who they are on the surface, but they don’t see the hard times, struggle and heartache. This week’s show will be on Bishop Charles Blake.
Sunday Best has been a lot of fun to watch. The judges, Mary Mary and BeBe Winans, have been providing some helpful, but gentle critiques to the contestants. Some contestants to watch out for are Crystal, Emily, and Shari. Crystal sung a beautiful version of CeCe Winans, “Alabaster Box” and the audience and the judges loved it. Something about that song just makes the tears come. Be sure to check out these two shows on Tuesday!
