TV Review: The Gospel View - BET's Sunday Best Two More Goodbyes

Written by Takiela Bynum
Published November 09, 2007

The latest episode of BET’s Sunday Best started off with guest gospel artists Tye Tribbett and the seven finalists singing "No Way." With lights flashing, cameras filming, and the atmosphere glowing with energy, the contestants and Tribbett rip up the stage with their performance.

After the first performance, the show moved on to the elimination process. The viewers have come to expect the eliminations to be at the end of the show, so this capricious change put a different twist on the show, keeping viewers guessing.

Continuing from the previous show, Jermaine Sellers and Emily Gomez were called to the front again by host Kirk Franklin, where they stood hand in hand. Franklin announced they were moving on to the next round, and were safe from eliminations this time. Relief fell over their faces as they returned to their assumed positions.

Next Franklin called Trevon Davis and Janice Collins to the front. Almost trembling, they stood as Franklin thanked them for their participation and sent them on their way with departing gifts for their local church. Stay up, Trevon and Janice, the best is yet to come!

Jermaine Sellers started out with the classic “O Happy Day.” The judges wanted more from him. They didn’t think he put his all into the song. I beg to differ; Jermaine has a coolness about him, screaming and shouting singing just isn’t his style. However, only because it is getting down to the wire, he should shock the viewers and the judges with something different, something that we haven’t had the pleasure of seeing from him. He shouldn’t change his style, just enhance it a little, leaving the spectators anticipating his next move.

Shari Addison graced the audience with the song “Golden.” This title of this song matches her personality. She has a sweet spirit intertwined with a gifted voice. In each of her performances, she has brought something to the stage. She keeps the viewers wondering and unable to predict what she will bring to the table next. Her performances keep progressing and will ultimately lead her to (according to my cousin, Billi Ewing) BET’s Sunday Best.

This show is a continually blessing to my spirit.

But I must say that it saddens me to know that I will no longer hear Tasha Collins any longer. I would buy her CD today :(

WOW!!!! Dear Shari - Gal I ain't got nothing to say I;m sure you heard it all before. I feel God's spirit stretching out in me....Sing Gal Sing - Spread the gospel of our Holy Lord and Savior as NOBODY else can do. You, combined with our beloved Pastor Caesar, Fantasia and/or the Mississippi Mass Choir would put a dance in praise of our Lord in the feet of satan and every one of his demons.

Thank you for dressing in the style that lets us know - what we already know- You are singing, dressing and dancing to His glory.

Shari from the first moment I heard you sing I on the show I knew you were anointed by the blood of God. I am a singer myself and I know when God has bless one with a gift of singing. Shari keep doing the works of the Lord, and everything will work out for the good. My family and I are going to continue to pray for you and your family and God Bless.
