Pastor Donnie McClurkin is scheduled to perform at Boston Gospelfest 2010. It appears there are a number of people in the Boston area that do not think he should participate in the concert.
Over the last couple of years Donnie McClurkin has made it clear that he has struggled with homosexuality in the past. Now that he has been delivered from those struggles, many people believe that he preaches homophobic [...]

Tonight was the season finale of season 3 of BET’s Sunday Best. Congratulations to LeAndria Johnson for winning the competition and the new car!
Here is a recap of the finale:
Hezekiah Walker opened the show singing Souled Out. It was a very good performance. It was consistent with that choir sound that we have come to know and love.

We are down to the final three contestants on BET’s Sunday Best. I think each of the final three contestants is extremely talented and anointed.
The theme for the first portion of this episode was “Cross Over”. The contestants were charged with singing secular songs that have a Gospel message.
Israel Houghton opened the show singing Moving Forward. He went beyond a simple performance [...]

Karen Clark-Sheard opened the show singing Prayed Up from her new CD All in One. Her performance was very good. I don’t know if I have ever seen her display so much energy and excitement.
After all of the contestants performed, Lala Hathaway closed the show with Against All Odds by Phil Collins. She gave a very exciting performance. It would have been tough for anyone to follow the quality singing [...]

There are only 7 contestants left in BET’s Sunday Best. The theme for this episode was “One”. The purpose was for the contestants to focus on their vocal skills and ability. There wasn’t a lot of music production backing the contestants up.
Here are my observations of episode 8.
Chrisette Michelle opened the show singing Donnie McClurkin’s Stand. She gave an absolutely [...]

Season 3 of BET’s Sunday Best continues. Last week, the first batch of finalists were eliminated. This week, the remaining contestants competed for the top spot. One of the eliminated contestants rejoined the show as the wild card.
J. Moss opened the show with a medeley that consisted of “We Must Praise” and “Rebuild.” I thought it was outstanding performance. If you [...]

Last week on BET’s Sunday Best, we saw the first 10 contestants show the judges what they can do. This week, the remaining 10 contestants took the stage.
The show opened with Kurt Karr and the 20 finalists sing We Lift Our Hands In the Sanctuary. This was a good energetic performance. I thought it was an entertaining way to open the show.
