Word Has It: Changes Made To Celebration Of Gospel Line-Up

Word has it that a couple of changes have been made to the initial artist line-up for BET’s Celebration Of Gospel, which will be taped this Saturday in Los Angeles.  Torrence Glenn, of BET.com, announced the changes on his blog yesterday.

It appears that Deborah Cox and Tamia are no longer appearing with Kelly Price, as originally stated (the three of them have an upcoming joint R&B album, The Queen Project)… Kelly will be going it alone.  I’m rather thrilled about that.

Sherri Shepherd, Robin Givens and Ernie Hudson are doing spoken word pieces, hopefully in one segment… no offense to them, but I’m just not big on spoken word.  Is that wrong? :-(

Ledisi has been added to the roster of performing artists, and so has Yolanda Adams– both are absolutely spectacular to watch live, so I’m pretty impressed with BET!

    You don't like spoken word?? That's because you haven't seen this Christian poet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsH1mxPkG-w Just sayin! He performed at Sapp's 7 Days of Praise at the GR Art Museum but I'm not sure if you saw him....

    I noticed that the Clark Sisters haven't been mentioned in the press for COG but if you go to: theclarksisters.com and check their schedule, it says they are scheduled to be there.
