Stellar Award Nominees for 2009 Have Been Announced
The 2009 nominations have been announced for the 24th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards. Categories cover traditional, contemporary, urban, hip-hop/rap, instrumentalists and more. Marvin Sapp garnered nine nominations on the strength of his blockbuster hit "Never Would Have Made It" from his Thirsty Album. Dorinda Clark-Cole and Kirk Franklin each received five nominations.
The nominations for Song of the Year are Canton Jones-"My Day", Jonathan Nelson and Justin Savage-"My Name Is Victory", Marvin Sapp / Matthew Brownie-"Never Would Have Made It", Myron Butler and John Webb-"Stronger", and Percy Gray-"God Is My Everything". Who do you think should win this category?
The category for Female Vocalist of the Year is a tough category! The nominees are Beverly Crawford-Live From Los Angeles, CeCe Winans-Thy Kingdom Come, Dorinda Clark-Cole-Take It Back, Jessica Greene-4 The World, and Shirley Caesar-After 40 Years… Still Sweeping Through the City.
Who would you choose? They are all fabulously anointed. I’m a die hard CeCe fan, but I love Dorinda’s new song Take It Back". I love Beverly’s energy and Shirley Caesar is a living legend. Have to admit I don’t know much about Jessica Greene.
This year “Most Notable Achievement Award” winner is Vickie Winans. Daryl Coley, will receive The James Cleveland Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Dr. Bobby Jones Legend Award will be presented to The Rance Allen Group.
For the third year in a row the awards will be held in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry House. It will be on January 17th and the hosts will be Sinbad and Yolanda Adams. A full list of the nominees can be viewed at GospelFlava , the official online partner of the Stellar Awards.
