In spite of the Roy J Hayes response to your post: "Our goal is to help SG (and all Christian Music) by raising awareness and credibility of what is happening in SG that is really good." SG was not seen at this event. The appearances of Triumphant and the Imperials was not in context. If that was somehow the intent, why not add the Booth Bros., Perrys, EHSSQ, and/or Talley Trio in Carnegie with a live band, with or without choirs and orchs. If AMG/CMP/Vivici/CEO America is attempting to create a new genre to go with their new brand, then they should say so and give it a cool name -- Like "American Southern Inspo Gospel With Choir & Orchestra and a Hint of Color"...wait, that might be too long.
