Na wa oh! 7 ppl in one category? That is whack! Even in the Grammys u have ‘Christian Contemporary’ category, Best Gospel artiste, best traditional gospel, etc. U can’t put urban contemporary (nikki) with traditional gospel (sabina) or with rap (provabs) they should have created at least 3 different gospel categories sha, tim Godfrey is praise/worship sef
Steve you are very correct… They should have spaced them into 3 or 4 groups. They didn’t really cater to the Gospel category.
