Personally I think Brown Baptist should have won because the Male Chorus is simply "awesome"! They are perfect examples of what men of God should be & they can sing! Brown has been my home for the past 7 years & there is absolutely nothing like it... I also believe all the choirs did a wonderful job. The big picture is not who the winner is but that this was done for the good of the Lord. When you begin to add in the extra's you take the glory away from the Lord. I'm sure none of us Christians intend to do that! :O I was truly amazed to see the number of people that came out to support this event. What we should be doing is congradulating all the choirs on a job well done. I believe this was an event to go down in history. I hope that this can become an annual event in the future. I will close with this... "When all God's children get together, what a time, what a time, what a time!!" :)

Have a terrific Tuesday,

Wow it sounds as if you where very disappointed.  I don't think the goal was necessarily who won.  This program achieved many goals.  Showing off new talent, exposing  gospel music to people that may have not come to a regular church service, and perhaps inspiring some lay members to come back to church.  It was absolutely wonderful.  Miracle temple did a wonderful job and I do agree that maybe they should have been the overall winners.  But I think part of the problem is that people don't see new direction as a full gospel church and it is diffinitely not your traditional choir, they are more contemporary.  The only fault that I had with New Direction was with all the theatrics( during the time they where falling and taking off their robes) they lost contact with the microphones it was hard to hear them.  Also I did not understand their interpretation of the song. I don't know who the judges where but people judge everything based on life experience and not everyone loves traditional gospel and not everyone likes contemporary, I love both.
