Happy New Year... 1st blog of the year!!!

Yeah yeah yeah, I know I'm madd late but it's all good. I hope everyone had an excellent New Year's eve. I definitely did. I am just sincerely happy to have made it over into another year!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

OK, so yesterday I watched the first episode of BET's new show Generation Gospel and I must keep it real and say that my first thought on the idea of doing a gospel spin off of 106&Park was correct. I was disappointed in more ways then one.

First of all, the hosts Jorel(of 21:03) and Angel(of Trin-i-tee 5:57). I felt like whoever did the casting did not do a good job. I felt like Jorel had a lot of energy, and he was really excited about the show but Angel on the other hand was extremely dead. They did not vibe together well, and I thought that they should have chosen personalities as apposed to already established artists.

Second of all, the show comes on at 12pm on a SUNDAY!!!! What in the mess?? Everyone is at church that time. (I had to record the show)

Third of all, what happened to the countdown... I think there were like 5 videos played and we didn't even get to see all of them. I was kind of getting into Trin-i-tee 5:7's new video but I couldn't even get the true just of it because they cut it so short!

Also, the house choir?? Are they ever going to get a chance to sing an actual song?? Overall I just felt like there were to many things going on in this first episode. I felt like it was a rushed project and there was absolutely NO creativity!!!!! I feel like if they wanted to do a spin off of 106 they should have come up with more creative things to implement into the show; not just bite off the whole 106&Park concept. Come on saints, we must do better!!!

On a positive note, I did thoroughly enjoy Marvin Sapp's interview (MORE INTERVIEWS PLEASE!!!), and I also enjoyed Kiki's interview and performance!!! Kiki, I'm sorry, Kierra is definitely doing her thing and I am soooo proud of her.... (still bumping her new CD)! I still believe that this show has a lot of potential, but we must be original and SET the bar, not follow the trend. Let's see how the next few weeks go with 106&Park Presents Generation Gospel!
