OMG! The past few days have been crazy! I have not had a chance to post since my lastest big reveal. However, you will love my coverage of the 31st Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards that went down in Las Vegas!
Iyanla Vanzant, Wendy Raquel Robinson, LaToya Luckett, Jason Nelson, Jonathan McReynolds, Hezekiah Walker, Dorinda Clark Cole, Briana Babineaux, Maurette Brown Clark, T.C. Stallings, and Tim Bowman, Jr. were some of the artist on the line up for the 31st Annual Stellar Gospel Awards last Saturday, February 20, at Las Vegas Orleans Arena. This is the Grammys of Gospel music honoring the best in the business. The collaboration of Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, Karen Clark Sheard, and Marvin Sapp was one to watch. The host of the show was Rickey Smiley and Sherri Shepherd. This will be the Stellar’s premiere on TV One on Sunday, March 6 and will be in syndication on 150 stations on the weekend of March 12 through April 10.
The Stellar Awards Founder Don Jackson and multiple Erica Campbell bestowed the Stellar Honors, a special award, upon living legends Lady Tramaine Hawkins, Yolanda Adams, Marvin Sapp, and Jonathan Slocumb. The James Cleveland Lifetime Achievement Award was presented by Pastor Shirley Caesar posthumously to phenomenal Grammy Award winner O’Landa Draper with tribute performances by Donald Lawrence, Hezekiah Walker, and Ricky Dillard. Joe Ligon of the Mighty Clouds of Joy, received the Dr. Bobby Jones Legends Award by Bobby Jones himself.
The line up was crazy with some of hottest groups and singers in the Gospel game right now like Anthony Brown and Group Therapy, Brian Courtney Wilson, Tasha Cobbs, Casey J, Charles JenkIns and Fellowship Chicago, Hezekiah Walker, Kirk Franklin, Travis Green, and William McDowell delivered some incredible performances throughout the night that I want to buy the CD. Yes the show was just that good it should have been a live recording.
Anthony Brown and Group Therapy made history and won all ten they were nominated for that night.
