TV Review: The Gospel View - BET's Sunday Best - Three More Eliminated

Part of: The Gospel View - Sunday Best

The fourth episode of BET’s Sunday Best aired on Tuesday October 23, 2007. The last ten contestants took their skills to the next level. They put on their game faces and played hard. Clearly each finalist wants to uphold the Sunday Best title, but do they have what it takes to fill those shoes? It’s obvious that they have something worth hearing, or they wouldn’t have made it thus far. However many were called, only one will be chosen.

Janice Collins set the atmosphere with “Blessed Like That.” She didn’t give her best performance, the judges expected more from her. The vocals she offered did not portray her true ability. Janice is much more than what she gave on the stage. Step it up, Janice!

Jermaine Sellers dazzled the audience with “Tomorrow.” He took off his street gear and set it off with his new sophisticated urban style. Vocally, he always represents, and in addition to his attire, he has wooed the crowd more now than before. His voice is subtle like silk, and he added his own flair to the ending of the song that made it linger in your ears. Keep on representing, Jermaine!

Kenya Glover stepped to the stage singing “For Every Mountain.” Upon entering the set, her sunglasses were a distraction once again. She should have listened to the judges’ advice and removed them. This is a gospel contest, the key word here being ‘gospel’, everyone should take that into consideration when selecting attire, song, and choreography. Off with the shades and on to brighter days, stay focused, Kenya.

Tasha Collins blew things out of the water with “For Once In My Life.” This woman has what it takes to get to the next level. She has exceptional control over her voice and proved it with her staccato ending. She stirred things up when she added her own flavor. Float on, Tasha!

Emily Gomez once again baffled the minds of spectators with “Presence of the Lord Is Here.” Not only is Emily gorgeous, but her voice is out of this world. Everything about her screams lover of Jesus. She is a breath of fresh air who can hold a note. The presence of the Lord is in your voice, Emily!
