It is not just an entertaining show, people are drawn to it because it offers a reflection of Sunday morning worship, said Franklin. The producer said some feel like the show mirrors their church’s flavor of music and this is their way of staying connected to the experience of church. It was really hard letting contestants go that were so close to winning.įranklin believes Sunday Best not only blesses the contestants but viewers as well. The hardest part of being a judge is we had to release people who are really singers. Sheard, who’s singing style is a reflection of the legendary Clark Sisters, said: The young singer and daughter gospel legend, Karen Clark, has found her own voice by making waves in the industry. Sheard said she is not only a fan of the televised competition but as a viewer voted for several of the contestants who will return for the 8th season of the show Sheard feels blessed for the opportunity to help people. Sunday Best is challenging her to demonstrate Christ’s love while helping singers on the same path she was once on.
The ability to lovingly correct and critique people is what the new generation of church goers are searching for, according to Sheard. So being considered a judge was something I had dreamed of, and it gives me a chance to display the Christ character to the world. It meant a lot to me because I always watched the show. The 28-year-old singer felt as if her first season as a judge was like an audition to see if she would be a good fit, but to return confirms she made the cut. Sheard, the youngest judge, is excited to return for another season. The former contestants have had the opportunity to strengthen weaknesses and work on critiques received in the past.
By giving contestants a second chance, the intensity is guaranteed to be high with each singer bringing their “A” game with increased energy. The 45-year-old host believes the new format will be more entertaining for Sunday Best fans. Many people do not get that opportunity? It turned out to be an incredible idea that the people really gravitated to. We just thought it would be really cool this season for people to have another opportunity to get close to their dreams. It is all about giving people second chances. Although the gospel music competition is composed of repeat participants, the winner will still be announced based on winning votes from viewers.
Franklin returns as host and executive producer, gospel legend Kim Burrell will return as talent mentor and the judges from the season 7, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin and Kierra Sheard, will return to critique and encourage each performance.
