Hey, I would just like to say that I’ve seen Kim Collingsworth play a lot and I do believe that Passion is a better word than “Showy”. I do know that she internalizes the words to the songs she is playing and that is why she gets so emotional at times while playing! She is actually getting blessed!!!!! Kim is one of the least “Showy people I know.

Jason Webb and Stan Whitmire can blow everyone at Pianorama off the stage when it comes down to what really matters…the playing.

I’d love to see a non-artist based, studio player quality showcase.

ritchie,

There is a little something to what you say. Even if some of the other pianists you played were to play her exact arrangements, the reason she’s the one getting standing ovations is because of the passion and energy with which she does her performances.

kim is a good pianist, but I don’t feel that she is any better than others like stice, holt, varnado, whitmire, etc. I think she gets a different nod of attention because she is a female doing something in an industry that is dominated by males. and she is very showy. for example… i fully believe that stan whitmire ad tim parton are far better players, but because they don’t show the emotion or movement, they are overlooked easier. this post is not to critisize kims abilities, it is just to try and give others their due. a showy musician always gets the advantage when it comes to the fans (who most of the time don’t really know the difference in skill)

While they’re at it, give Kim Collingsworth her own showcase, too. She’s incredible. I’d pay for that one.

In defense of Dino, I don’t think he has stolen the show for the past two years; the spotlight was offered to him. However, I am very glad that this year’s Pianorama will consist of only Southern Gospel pianists who in my opinion play just as well (or better) than Dino.
