I agree with you really…now really?.These guys are criticizing these artists.It’s not about judging about who sang what and how,it’s about having a good time and watching and listening to the best music ever made!GC,in my opinion was the best ones ever!And a little FYI Avery and spaceace,I totally DISAGREE!I LOVE IVAN!!!!!!! no matter what.He did NOT sound bad,in facet he was NOT the worst singer there,HE WAS THE BEST.Avery,do me a favor.DON’T EVER IN YOUR LIFE POST ANYTHING ABOUT IVAN ANYMORE!!!!!!! >:( I respect him..this IS DEFINITELY NOT the place to say good things.This is definitely NOT The Good Place,This is
The Nasty Gossip Place.

Yeah, McCray’s auctioneer voice on “Get Away Jordan” and “Didn’t It Rain” borders on NOISE. Isn’t singing supposed to be pleasing to the ear?

Joseph Habendank is finding his place as a great lead singer.

Agree with #1 post: Disappointed that Hutson (Kingsmen) didn’t sing any features.

Hearing Tim Riley singing with Gold City was a real treat. He was the best bass singer to walk across the stage all week. (sadly he is retired.)
Bruce Talifarro (Gold City) is a great vocalist.
Their tenor wasn’t loud enough in the house mix.
The sound problems were unreal. Get some professionals in there.
We wonder why other forms of music think we are a joke.

#26, Faith…I don’t think McCray cares if you can understand the words or not. It’s more of a “show” than anything, with the wailing and the dance moves! I think he’s new thing is going to be the song he’s doing now, where he thinks he sounds like George Jones. He mentioned it all 3 times he peformed on stage at NQC.

My question is…can ANYONE make out the words to Get Away Jordan when McCray is singing/wailing? I have it on the NQC ‘99 CD, and the words are indecipherable. Fast-forward to 2009, and I STILL can’t make them out. UGH.

Hey Avery, I am sure you can blame it on an intern but it should be Ginger Pitchers not Ginger Pritchard.

I don’t think there has been a finer family in sgm than the Lesters from Mom & Pop and the generations that have followed in their footsteps.

18 & 19. Hey, I’m a bus driver, but I also sing with my group at most shows, I play an instrument with my group at most shows, and I played an instrument on main stage this week. Why are you in artists circle? If you want it to be no one but artists, then don’t come in there. You know what, if I knew who you were, and I caught you in artist circle, this bus driver would escort you out.

Fridaynotes, # 21 least we agree on one thing, I too enjoyed the Dilpomats one song, would liked to have heard several more from them and the band. Regarding your comments about Gaither and EH&SS, the may have not recieved a big standing O, but they didn’t have to go into a 5 minute intro about a song from 1999, that people still might want to hear. Makes me wonder if EH&SS had stage Get Away, would Dove Bros. have staged it? I find it very odd that Dove Bros did the same set/same everything for 2 days in a row, but changed the set out on Friday, Guess it’s called Show Biz!I just have a problem with songs you can’t understand the words too. Like Get Away and Didn’t It Rain. But hey that’s why have a mute button on the computer.

On another note: I spoke with Daniel Addison of GC (steel guitar) and he told me that “Curt” (sp?) is just “filling in” as a piano player.

They’re still looking.

to poster #20, i may not be the biggest dove brothers fan, but as the old saying goes “nobody likes it but the people”. you were blind if you didn’t see the ovation of people standing and clapping (something that DID NOT happen at all when Signature Sound was on stage).
Actually, Sig Sound nor GVB received any real standing ovations (I’d say at best maybe 200 people standing after a big song, but it was pretty pathetic) GVB did sound great, and I was extremely impressed, but could not understand why they did not receive much response.
I enjoyed the Diplomats, just wish they could have sang longer.

I have been watching the Live feed from the NQC this week on my computer. I must say that this years feed has been much better, than in years past. Only real problem has been sound issues but that’s not the live trucks problem. The only problem thus far tonight is McCray Dove and Dove Brothers, and Get Away Jordan.
Pleazzzeeee enough already!!

Jeff, why are you sitting in the “Artist Circle”?

By: Jeff

Sitting in the “artist’s circle” which is currently annoyingly filled with everybody’s bus driver and their aunt they brought to sell merch.

#13 - I didn’t cut anyone down…and I don’t think anyone else on this thread has either. If you want to talk, I’ll be glad to chat with you; but, from the sound of your post it seemed that you were against the whole aspect of discussing SG realistically (i.e. some sound good and some sound bad). I don’t doubt that most on the main stage participants do try hard, but some are better than others. Why is that hard for you to accept? I sing at small venues and because of that no one on here cares if I am good or if I am bad. Basically, I’m playing ‘Fantasy League NQC’. However, these guys (and apparently you) sing in front of many thousands of people at NQC…do you not expect some to like and others not to. I don’t dislike you if you don’t fill out a harmony, but I’m not deaf because you’re singing about Jesus. Just because it’s Christian music doesn’t mean people can’t have realistic opinions about it. For instance, Dottie Rambo was a great talent in her day. She was an awesome song writer up until she passed on. That said, I didn’t want to hear her sing all the time. Did I listen when she did special stuff? Yes, but it did not sound that great. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not picking on Dottie, but be real. This is not the place to say everybody did their best and is singing for the Lord. Hopefully, that is obvious. The rest is just critique.

In my opinion, I have always thought that The Whisnants would sky rocket to the top - if they would only add a higher female to mix! Along the lines the Perrys were with Nicole or maybe what the Nelons used to be with the 2 females. There are many soprano females that could be just the right fit for them. They have just always missed that “high” voice. Jeff and Aaron both are great voices - as Susan is certainly solid - just can’t reach the higher notes. It might would mean letting Aaron go and hiring the female or Jeff learning the bass part - if possible - but I think it would be a tremendous asset for them to add another female voice… or feature the Aaron more - maybe in a higher range - if it’s even possible for him. I am so proud of the success that they have had - but feel like they have just always been on the edge of really taking off because they miss the higher female voice ! Of course - again - this is just my opinion for whatever it’s worth. Is there anyone else that might agree with this ?

I am listening now to the Pianorama(or whatever it is called or however spelled). Please, please..Let someone else emcee. Not saying Dino can’t play, just not a very good emcee.
