Comments on: GMA week: The Dove Awards http://averyfineline.com/2007/04/26/gma-week-the-dove-awards/ Criticism and commentary on southern gospel music and culture Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:00:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: te http://averyfineline.com/2007/04/26/gma-week-the-dove-awards/#comment-13962 te Thu, 03 May 2007 14:09:06 +0000 http://averyfineline.com/2007/04/26/gma-week-the-dove-awards/#comment-13962 In discussions such as this it is important to seperate the music business from the "ministry". I don't think anyone is doubting YH's heart, but musically they just don't represent SG music to the world in the most positive light. Take away the billboards, the media blitz, the talented promotions by some of the best in the biz, and you really have just a regional band doing the best they can. On the plus side, they do seem to be getting better. In discussions such as this it is important to seperate the music business from the “ministry”.

David,

If I did have the money to do a job I would spend every dime to get it done. I think alot of the bad publicity they have endured has come about because others are jealous. What happened to the part of being a christian that syas to lift your brother up. Or the part that tells us to let our brother come before us. I applaud YH and the work they are doing. Maybe if some of the rest of the SG community wer'e trying to see souls saved they would have the same blessings. God Bless all the Young Harmony's of the world.

I've also hear it's that way at the Grammy Awards. The jokes were bad. And that really makes me sad. I think the producers write "down" to us as if to say, "christians have no sense of humor, so we have to be cheezy so not to offend anyone." But avery is right. Maybe there shouldn't be an act at all. They should just go uo there and say.."thank you...the nominees for Southern Gospel Recorded songs are...." However, i really wish they'd pick artists who know the category. What was comical to me was watching this punk/rock band try to pronounce group names. The "win-sants?" Congrats GVB on your win. I really like that CD. Yes, the pre-show was too long, but I’ve heard it always is. I’ve also hear it’s that way at the Grammy Awards. The jokes were bad. And that really makes me sad.

For some reason I thought they did... For YH's sake, I'm grateful they didn't win. I think the entire community would have thrown back it's head and howled. It's no fun winning when everyone believes you cheated the system to win. I hope if/when they are nominated again we don't have to guess how it happened. Best wishes YH! P.S. By the way, I'm with Avery - the pre-show lasts too long and involves too many bad jokes. Get to the point and give out those awards.
