1. BET’s Celebration of Gospel was great! The show opened with a bang with Kirk Franklin singing “This is It” from his new album. I really enjoyed Patti’s rendition of “Walk Around Heaven All Day”. She sounded great! There were performances from Yolanda Adams, Pastor Shirley Caesar, J. Moss, KiKi Sheard, Israel & T-bone and Dr. Bobby Jones.
Standouts for me were the performance of the ’70’s crossover hit, “Mighty High”, by the Mighty Clouds of Joy and seeing Sunday Best winner Crystal Aiken perform with Fred Hammond and the Sunday Best final four (Shari, Tasha, Jermaine & Emily). Marvin Sapp sung “Never Would Have Made It”, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the place. Be sure to check your local listings for when the show will air again.~Celebration of Gospel
