I’m really having a difficult time trying to put into words the experience that has been How Sweet The SoundTM. So many wonderful moments, incredible performances and lovely people.

That’s our highest attendance yet and the show was totally sold out! Also, the congregations of each of our choirs were able to watch live via simulcast from their home churches! There was such an enormous sense of expectation among the Detroit crowd, and backstage the anticipation was high as well. I couldn’t believe that the finale was finally here!!!

I had tons of pre-show jitters tonight! I mean, it’s the last show before the finale! I’ve enjoyed my time on the road so much and I’m so sad to see it end. I totally teared up as I walked through the hallways, making my way backstage. I had to try to hold it together though, you know, I didn’t want to ruin my makeup 
The house lights were on as I arrived at the side of the stage and the Oracle Arena was buzzing with excitement! It was packed and totally sold out! 12,163 people were clapping and singing as “Do Not Pass Me By” played on the loudspeakers. The song ended and the audience clapped like it was a live performance. I was like, ok, Oakland is ready to have a good time at Verizon Wireless’ How Sweet The Sound, “The Search For The Best Church Choir In America!”
As Donald took to the stage and performed “Let The Word Do The Work”, the energy in the arena was astounding. I couldn’t help but be moved as I listened to the words and applied them to myself. I’m running a marathon tomorrow and earlier today Donald encouraged me to speak positively and not negatively or “realistically” as I term it. So, I took his words to heart, jammed along to the song, enjoyed the remarkable performance and let his incredible energy encourage me as much as it did the audience. Continue Reading

I walked to the stage at the Los Angeles Forum, ready to get it started! “Victory” by Tye Tribbett & G.A. was playing in the arena and as I approached backstage, I couldn’t help but do a little “c-walking” for Jeff, our stage manager. I’m not sure that he knew what I was doing, but I was just feeling the West Coast energy! The 10,102 people in the audience were feeling it too! You could hear everyone singing along, “Oh, oh, Oh-oh, oh.” The song faded, the lights went out, the crowd roared, and host Donald Lawrence took to the stage to open Verizon Wireless’ How Sweet the Sound “The Search for the Best Church Choir in America!” What a great show opening! Donald looked extra fly (as usual) in this custom made navy suit, and some matching YSL sneakers. So fly. Plus, he did his thing like the pro he is, engaging the audience and getting everyone on their feet. LA was loving it!
The crowd gave me lots of love, and I neither tripped, nor said the wrong city name, so I was thrilled! The audience was also hyped at the intro of the judges. Tonight, we had resident judge Pastor Marvin Sapp, and guest judges Angel Taylor, Chanelle Haynes and Adrian Anderson, better known as Trin-i-tee 5:7. The ladies were in the house and the boys are finally outnumbered! Trin-i-tee 5:7 looked beautiful and I was very excited about having them with us and hearing them sing.

I was really hoping that my state (I live in Nashville) would represent tonight. I wanted people to fill the arena, choirs to be on point and Memphis to show these Detroit (resident judge Marvin Sapp) and Chicago (host Donald Lawrence) people that we’ve got it going’ on. They did! I am so happy and really proud. Our Titans are struggling, but there was nothing but victory at Verizon Wireless’ How Sweet the Sound, “The Search for the Best Church Choir In America!”
Memphis filled the Fed Ex Forum with 6,457 people that understood the power of praise! It was explosive when Donald Lawrence opened the show with “Let the Word Do the Work”, backed by the All Star Choir. Such a fantastic opening and I know people were amazed by the size of the stage, the lights, projectors, and Donald’s awesome performance.

There was some serious anticipation surrounding the Atlanta show. Backstage there was media, VIP’s and tons of people everywhere! I suppose that since last year, this was the home of the regional competition and the finale, Atl already knew what was in store at Verizon’ Wireless’ How Sweet the Sound, “The Search for the Best Church Choir In America!”
Phillips Arena was packed with 10,678 screaming Gospel music fans; ready to get the praise party started! Another sell-out show that sold over 2,500 tickets in a 24 hour period. Crazy!

Chi-towwwwwwnnnnnnnnn!!!!!! Whoa!!! I am thoroughly impressed, I must say. I was so excited about tonight’s show that I was in place and ready to go way before my normal call time. I don’t know; there’s just something about Chicago. Plus, it’s Donald Lawrence’s city of residence and there was just an extra bit of excitement in the air. I wanted to be ready for what Chicago would bring to Verizon Wireless’ How Sweet the Sound, “The Search for the Best Church Choir in America!”
I could hear the reverberation of the 11,728 member audience as they waited for the start of the show. There was no last minute rush to the seats tonight. Chicago was packed into The United Center and ready to get it started! A completely sold out show!
The anticipation was thick as the opening video montage began and when host Donald Lawrence took to the stage, the crowd erupted in a deafening roar. Oh, Donald was so on point tonight! You could tell that he was happy to be home and the crowd was loving it. “Let the Word Do the Work” proved to be another electrifying opening! The crowd remained hyped through my welcome and when Donald introduced the judges, the energy built even more. Tonight we had resident judge Marvin Sapp, guest judges included, the incredible Dorinda Clark Cole and a crowd favorite, host of Chicago’s No. 1 Gospel radio show, John Hannah.
Ok, so Chicago is no joke. Not to be played with. The first choir in the small choir category, J.A.M., from Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church made that evident. Their unique arrangement of “It is Well With My Soul” thoroughly showed off their vocal ability, control and stage presence, causing Marvin Sapp to call the whole presentation “unbelievable.” Pastor John Hannah said, “You took me through different emotional changes. You were smiley, then you went deep, then you [the director] broke out in the robot.” It’s true, she did! They were so great.
The next choir, Praise Unlimited, from the Youth Center Church of God in Christ brought more than just youthful energy - they could sing! They performed “Souled Out” and did a fantastic job. The young choir director had so much energy, that guest Judge John Hannah said he needed medication! Dorinda loved their enthusiasm and Marvin thought they were very creative.
Third was Redeem Voices of Victory from Redeem Church of God in Christ, singing “Oh How I Love Jesus”. This choir had such a rich full sound. The choir and the arrangement had such soul and the band was stinking incredible. The soloist could really sing and we were told during judging that she had just been released from the hospital today after a ten day long stint. Praise God! Pastor Marvin said “I love that you all came with one purpose and one purpose only - to have church.”
The last performance was from God’s House of All Nations Church Choir singing “For Every Mountain”. Rather than open with a soloist, they opened with all the ladies and the arrangement was so pretty! They had such an amazing blend and such control. They sounded like a CD! They broke out in sign language, went from operatic to jazzy with ease causing Dorinda Clark Cole to ask the director how much time they spent together, and when told “hours”, she said that she could tell.
Tonight we had a special treat. The one and only Ricky Dillard brought two gifted groups of young people from his church. The Sweet Holy Spirit Youth Choir and the Sweet Holy Spirit Praise Dancers performed in the concourse at the Youth Gospel Showcase. This is the show before the show! The lobby is jumping with all the festivities. There’s the Youth Showcase, an original art exhibit with pieces commissioned exclusively by Verizon Wireless and Gospel Karaoke, which I’m a fan of. You never know who from Gospel Karaoke will be put on the big screen during the main event.
What you can bet on seeing, however, is an amazing Marvin Sapp experience. I’m over calling it a performance, it’s an experience. As one of the show’s producers, James said “He grabs the song, puts it in a headlock, drops the people’s elbow and makes it.” I think he means Marvin is the man.
Dorinda Clark Cole opened the second half of the show and once again had the entire audience on their feet. Her voice and ability is just ridiculous! She never runs out of things to do vocally and she’s such a minister! Plus, she’s really sweet, so I can’t hate on her for being SO AWESOME!
New Covenant International Choir from New Covenant Missionary Baptist Church opened the large choir category. They sang “God Blocked It” and wore gold kimonos and fans with dramatic choreography to match. They even sang in Chinese! This had Marvin Sapp saying, “I thought it was excellent and you all did something that was unique to this competition.” Of course guest Judge John Hannah had jokes about the Asian theme, but ended by saying that they looked good and did well.
The Voices from Greater St. John Bible Church sang “Faithful is Our God” and they opened strong! They had such lovely smiles as they sang of God’s faithfulness. Pastor Marvin gave them the thumbs up, saying “Excellent job” and Dorinda spoke of how much she enjoyed them and called the band, “off the chain.”
The next choir was from Faith Temple church, Voices of Faith singing “Available To You” They performed with the legendary Carlos Moody, who is the original writer of the song, which happens to be one of my favorites. The choir was very traditional and stately in black robes and white gloves. They had two praise dancers doing sign language and the whole performance was beautifully done. Resident judge Marvin Sapp remarked, “Excellent job. Timeless song that has been like the heart of our communities and our church.” So true.
The final choir in the large choir category was Evangel Celebration Choir from Evangel World Outreach Center. They sang another timeless song, “Total Praise,” and they gave it all the power and effort that this song deserves. Wow. This choir came out with such incredible strength! Broke it down with each section singing “You are the source of my strength” and the crowd jumped to their feet! Then on the “Amen” part they went into this R&B, trip-hop feel and it was so hot! Can you even use “hot” to describe “Total Praise?” It was though! They killed it! They took that song to new places and the United Center was going crazy! Needless to say, we got out praise on after that. They left John Hannah speechless as he declared “I ain’t got nothin to say” a true rarity for him!
Evangel was the audience favorite, earning them the V CAST People’s Choice Award and a check for $5,000. God’s House of All Nations took home a check for $10,000 and the title of best small choir. Evangel was also best large choir and received check for $10,000, plus they edged out God’s House to become Overall Regional Winner and will represent Chicago in the finale. The choirs collected 1,005 phones tonight for Verizon Wireless’ charity initiative HopeLine and the funds from the sale of these refurbished and recycled phones will go to assist victims of domestic violence. You can help be a blessing to this cause by taking your old cell phones and accessories to any Verizon Wireless store. Tonight’s choirs definitely worked hard and to celebrate them Verizon Wireless is giving each choir a minimum of $3,000!
I am definitely with Donald in saying that his city represented tonight. I can’t see what Atl is going to offer! Friday, Oct 2nd at Phillips Arena is going to be jumping! Get your tickets now! Also, the finale tickets have gone on sale and are selling like crazy so be sure to get yours so that you can be in Detroit on Nov 7th to see who is crowned “The Best Church Choir in America!”

I know that the city of Detroit has had more than its share of difficult times. However, tonight, God was magnified and there was a lifting in the house as 5,570 people gathered in the Joe Louis Arena for Verizon Wireless’ How Sweet The Sound, “The Search for The Best Church Choir in America.”
As thousands entered the concourse and saw how much work was put into this event, you could feel the excitement building. The festive atmosphere of the lobby let’s everyone know this is not going to be an ordinary concert. Where else can you find an art exhibit of original
pieces commissioned by Verizon Wireless for this event, a Youth Gospel Showcase, and Gospel Karaoke before the show even begins?
The start of this show is so awesome; I haven’t missed one opening performance. Donald Lawrence is truly great at what he does and really
gets the audience going. I am still impressed with the massive stage, incredible lights and awesome sound! You really have to see this show!
If you can’t make it, check it out on V CAST in the multicultural catalog and you can see what I’m talking about.
I already know about Detroit’s musical heritage and of course since I married into one of its legendary families I hear even more. “There’s
no singers like Detroit singers” is a regular topic of conversation. So needless to say, I had very high expectations!
The first choir in the small choir category let me know I was not to be disappointed. Jesse H. Bishop Crusaders A’Cappella Choir from the Church of Christ sang “Oh Happy Day” and as guest judge Dorinda Clark Cole put it they were “a great opening.” One of the members was the vocal bass and other beat-boxed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a choir director pop lock, but she totally did. Their sound was so full that you didn’t miss the music. They mixed old school with new school and the crowd loved it.
Next from The Bread House, the Bread House Choir sang “There’s No Way.” The very first line let you know that there are some ’sangers’ in this choir! The choir director had great energy, the soloist could straight blow and their vocal dynamics were real crowd pleasers. Kierra “Kiki” Sheard thought they were excellent and loved how they took the song, added their own flavor and still got everyone on their feet.
Third, singing “Hosanna” from Conant Gardens SDA Church was Spiritual Sisters and A Brother (there were two men, the director and a lone
tenor). They came out strong with a shofar horn, a powerful exhortation and a huge vocal intro. I liked that they were wearing one of my favorite color combos; white and turquoise. Anyway, they had serious choreography, freezing, posing on beat, jumping, truly fun to watch. Plus they sounded incredible, doing three different versions of “Hosanna”. The crowd screamed for forever when they were done and
Donald Lawrence commented on their amazing band and originality.
Closing out the small choir category was Selected of God from Praise Tabernacle singing “Bless Me (Prayer of Jabez)”. I love when choirs sing really big and the right away sing really quietly. It’s so dramatic. I’ll have to ask Donald what that’s called. Anyway, they did that, along with other incredible vocal displays. Dorinda Clark Cole said during judging, “I’m so impressed with the director. You can tell when they take time with the group. I’m just speechless” Kierra added, “Amazing control. The anointing was there and you connected with the audience. I really felt God.”
I totally agree with both comments. I love watching the dynamic between the director and the choir. There’s such mutual respect and trust. It takes a lot of time and effort to develop that relationship and to operate in that kind of excellence. I love that Verizon Wireless is celebrating all of this hard work and allowing us, the audience, to enjoy these choirs on this incredible stage.
I don’t know if Donald is an ordained minister, but he was preaching to the Detroit crowd tonight! He declared that all the city has gone through is no match for the greatness of God and that we have to remember we are kingdom people! There was true encouragement given to the audience tonight. This encouragement continued with Marvin Sapp’s performance, speaking life in his gift of a song “Never Would’ve Made It”. It was obvious that the crowd connected once again to the message and it was another incredible ministry moment.
Opening Act Two was the extraordinary Dorinda Clark Cole singing “I Want It All Back”. I love this song! Everyone in the audience and all of us backstage were dancing and singing along. She has such presence and authority and she took us directly to church! It was fantastic! I
was in heaven and then went to second heaven because after Dorinda finished, Donald called Karen Clark out of the audience and she continued the song with the elated crowd as her background singers. I was insane. Like Donald says, “Those two are like the energizer bunny; they keep going and going.”
First to the stage in the large choir category was the CLFMI Mass Choir from Christian Love Fellowship Ministries, International singing “When The Saints Go To Worship”. They opened with a beautiful a’cappella arrangement, sounding like a string section. Then the band started to play and the choir released their power. Unreal!! As Kierra Sheard said, “They took us from classical to the storefront church to the opera house!” She also commented on the choir director standing strong as a woman of God and how that obviously influenced the choir.
Second, from Calvary Church came Calvary Sanctuary Choir singing “Total Praise”. They delivered the song with such worship and strength! I think they’re the first choir in the competition thus far to sing “I lift my hands” and actually do it. The crowd was on their feet in worship and when the choir was done there was such a praise that Dorinda said “It sounds like revival in here!”, and thanked the director for letting the Holy Ghost take control. Pastor Marvin Sapp replaced Judge Marvin Sapp and we had church! He declared that God reigned over every situation! The event seemed to be just what these Detroit residents needed.
Keeping the praise going was Majestic Voices from Second Ebenezer Church singing “Great is Thy Faithfulness”. What a massive sound! They
had incredibly synchronized choreography and pulled out all the stops. The choir director, the band and the choir flowed together flawlessly.
Donald Lawrence called them “Authentic Detroit” Dorinda loved their enthusiasm and expertise in bringing a different variation.
While the judges tallied up their votes Keirra Sheard took the stage and did an amazing job singing “Praise Him Now”. Her voice is so awesome and she looked so beautiful up there. So crazy that she’s all grown up! What a gift she has.
All the choirs were so prodigious that I had no idea who the winners were going to be. So I was as anxious as the audience to find out! The
V CAST People’s Choice Winner was Calvary Sanctuary Choir and they received a check for $5,000! They were also the large choir winner and
walked away with an additional check for $10,000! Selected of God from Second Ebenezer won best small choir and was handed a check for
$10,000! For the first time this season a small choir beat out the large choir for the title Overall Regional Winner and Selected of God will represent Detroit in the finale! All of the choirs were so amazing and will receive a minimum of $3,000 for their efforts. The Bread House Choir was our HopeLine winner, taking home $1,000 for bringing the most phones tonight. The choirs brought in a total of 833 phones that will be used for Verizon Wireless’ charity initiative HopeLine that gives service and support to victims of domestic violence.
What an incredible evening. The presence of God and the Joy of the Lord was thick in the Joe Louis Arena tonight! Wednesday, September 30th we’re in Donald Lawrence’s hometown of Chicago and I know they’re going to represent!! 5 to 7 dollars a ticket and it’s for sure going
to be packed so get your ticket and come get your praise on!

I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect in Philly. I mean, it’s such a cool place full of jazz and neo- soul. It’s home to greats like Will Smith, Clara Ward, Patti Labelle, Bill Cosby, Rocky :-)! Well, I was completely knocked out by the excitement and energy that filled the Wachovia Center tonight. Philly came to get live at Verizon Wireless’ How Sweet the Sound, The Search for The Best Church Choir in America!
From the moment the lights dimmed and I heard the roar of the 8,978 member Philly crowd I knew that this too would be a night to remember. The maestro Donald Lawrence set it off with another high energy performance of “One Word Away”. It’s such an outstanding show opener!
The choirs in Philly came prepared to blow our celebrity judges away! In the house tonight was resident judge, the illustrious Pastor Marvin Sapp, host of “The Big Show- Real Christian Music” on Praise 103.9, the multi talented Lonnie Hunter, and renowned Pastor Hezekiah Walker. They were prepared to give the choirs great encouragement and constructive criticism, however, Philly gave the judges plenty to encourage but very little to critique because these choirs had worked like crazy to get here, and it showed!
First to the stage from West Philadelphia SDA Church came the West Philadelphia Praise Choir singing “For Every Mountain”. The 15 member choir began to sing and kid you not, they sounded like a mass choir. They had the audience on their feet before they got to the first chorus! Later, they broke the song down and sang the chorus a’cappella, like an old spiritual and it was captivating. Resident judge Marvin Sapp recognized this saying, “You all were unbelievable and I love how you went back to the traditional components of the Adventist church” This group opened the show with a bang and definitely jump started tonight’s “chuch” service!
Second, the New Hope Revival Center Choir sang “The Battlefield”. They had such a big sound and I loved watching the choir director dance! I think he might have stolen the show because all three judges spoke of how much they enjoyed him. Hezekiah Walker said “I really enjoyed the choir, but I think I enjoyed you [the director] even better!”
Calvary Baptist Church Choir opened up in dramatic fashion showing incredible vocal control and aptitude as they sang “Shabach”. The crowd was hooked by their incredible choreography, energy and ability. Guest judge Lonnie Hunter renamed them “The Breakout Choir”! You could really tell how hard they worked just to be here tonight.
I was in a singing group for 13 years, and it takes countless hours to achieve excellence, so I truly appreciate that Verizon Wireless has created this event to celebrate these choirs, and their dedication. It really gives them a chance to share their gifts on the big stage. The choirs come ready and the audience became new fans!
Last in the small choir category was the Music Ministry Choir from Green Grove Baptist Church singing “Faithful Is Our God”. They sang with such controlled strength and let the song ’speak’ for itself. The judges enjoyed the fact that they didn’t do too much or too little but had a perfect balance and stayed true to the song.
The judges left to deliberate and before the intermission Marvin Sapp blessed us with another unbelievable performance. With all due respect I have to say that Marvin Sapp is a vocal ninja. He completely slays the audience every night!
Hezekiah Walker brought us back from intermission with an inspiring performance of “All I Need”. I love how joyful and upbeat the song is, and the audience could really feel the celebration in the song. There was definitely a praise in the house.
Kicking off the large choir category from Ford Memorial Temple - The Anointed Voices of Ford Memorial Temple singing “Total praise”. The choir looked beautiful and sang with such a lovely spirit. They performed half of the second verse a’cappella and the audience was captivated. Guest judge Lonnie Hunter said “Flat foot singing. You all didn’t move a foot and you let that song have it!” Marvin Sapp closed by saying, “When you listen to choirs like yours, you try to pick out what’s wrong. I couldn’t pick anything out tonight!” That’s a pretty big compliment!
Next came Voices of Canaan from Canaan Baptist Church singing “Souled Out”. They got huge support from the audience before they even started and opened strong with dynamic energy! I loved their choreography; they were like The Temptations up there! They brought the power of praise. Hezekiah Walker said that he felt the power of God and spoke of the anointing on the director, who sang lead. Everyone clearly agreed!
Closing it out was The Chorale from the Chorale at the Lord’s House Ministries singing “He Will Supply”. They came out with such a calm confidence and took their time telling the song. It didn’t take long, however, for their true power to be revealed, causing judge Lonnie Hunter to exclaim “What a great choir!”
Verizon Wireless knows the power of gospel music and how it brings people together. The arena tonight was packed and full of joy and support. Like every night, the show was also full of surprises! In the concourse there is a beautiful exhibit of original art commissioned exclusively for How Sweet he Sound. There is a Youth Gospel Showcase where each night the future of gospel music performs. There is also Gospel Karaoke, and this surprise can follow you inside the arena because you never know if you’ll get put on the big screen like several of our audience members tonight! Also, there is such excitement generated from this event that you never know who will be in the audience. Tonight, Donald pulled Pastor James Nelson (twin brother of singer Jonathan Nelson) to the stage and James gave an incredible impromptu performance, surprising everyone with his amazing vocal gift.
After another uplifting offering from Pastor Hezekiah Walker and the Love Fellowship Choir featuring Marvin Sapp singing “God Favors Me” came the moment of truth. The choir directors all came out and Donald announced the V CAST People’s Choice Award Winner. West Philadelphia Praise Choir was presented with a check for $5,000! In the small choir category Calvary Baptist Choir took home a check for $10,000! Taking the title of best large choir and a check for $10,000 was Anointed Voices of Ford Memorial Temple! They were also named the Overall Regional Winner and I seriously had to pray that the stage wouldn’t collapse they were jumping up. And down so much! It was so exciting! All of the choirs received a minimum of $3,000 just for sharing and ministering tonight which is what this event is all about; community, family, friends, music and giving.
Speaking of giving, we collected 704 phones tonight, with the Voices of Canaan named the HopeLine winner, bringing in 354 and receiving a check for $1,000. HopeLine is Verizon Wireless’ charity initiative that puts wireless services and equipment to work to assist victims of domestic violence. We collect phones from the participating choirs in each city and the choir who brings the most phones is named the HopeLine Winner. You too can be a part of this important work and in turn be a blessing by donating your old cell phones and accessories to any Verizon Wireless store and they’ll take it from there. It’s a pretty easy way to help improve the lives of others.
All in all I was totally impressed with Philly. The audience was rockin’, the choirs brought it and once again we all went home feeling uplifted, encouraged, and changed by the power of praise. Detroit is next and I cannot wait to see what is going to happen there! Dorinda Clarke Cole, Keirra “Kiki” Sheard and Marvin Sapp on one stage? I might just fall out. Spread the word about Detroit, Monday, Sept 28th at the Joe Louis Arena!
