Gospel music to me has always been a balm for the soul. It has been able to usher in the spirit, usher in worship, true worship and praise, healing. I find the music to be very good at healing and the passion, you know, which is a testimony being told in song.
I'm surprised every year by how poised they are. If they are nervous, they're very, very good at hiding it. They walk up to the microphone, they spell their word really fast and they're back to their seat.
