I would not mind seeing Tim Parton win it I think he is largely unrecognized. I voted for him btw.:)

I don’t believe GV’s tenor change is gonna hurt them a bit. I voted for them in the artist category. Of course I love the Booth Brothers too, so it was hard to choose.

Varnado is the best musician. Stice is a close second, but Varnado would be a nice change. And while I was on a Dixie Echoes kick, I voted for Pat Barker for Horizon. Haven’t heard a bass singer do a solo like him since Younce.

I really hope Wilburn wins, because it would just be funny to see a guy who hasnt been with a group in 6 months win.

Kim does a fabulous job, but I voted for Jeff Stice! I think all of the favorite musician nominees are extremely talented, so I must strongly disagree with GospelHog’s statement about there being no justice in Freedom Hall or that it’s about something other than talent.

The fan awards are not about talent and never have been. They are about the “favorites” of the fans. They are a popularity contest. If that basic premise is understood, there’s no need for “justice” at Freedom Hall. Whoever has the most “fans” will win.

If KC does not take home the Fav Pianist Award, we will know that there is no justice in Freedom Hall and that SG fans are about something other than talent.
…course we know that already…don’t we?
