NQC 2006: Fan Awards, Part 2

-----------September 16, 2006NQC 2006: Fan Awards AftermathThe biggest topic of discussion at SGN's message board regarding the Fan Awards has centered around whether or not the unprecedented Traditional Quartet tie was a literal equal number of votes or just very, very close. In presenting the award, Jerry Kirksey said it was a "percentage tie," which would seem to indicate the latter. Assuming EH&SS and the Inspirations got much more of the vote than the other three nominees...like say 40% each, with the other three sharing the remaining 20%...I think it was appropriate to call it a tie. On the other hand, if the vote results were more like 21%, 21%, 20%, 19.5%, and 18.5%, then I think the award should have gone to the group with the most literal votes. This is a trivial issue, and I'm not going to expend the effort of asking the Singing News to disclose their vote count; I'm fairly confident they don't want to set a precedent of disclosing vote counts, but if any of you do and get an answer, you're welcome to share what you learn in the comments section or send it to me and I'll be glad to pass it along. Also, some have expressed an interest in getting confirmation about the Perrys calling the Crabb Family on stage and giving them their Mixed Group award. Would I really make any of this stuff up? Oh well...if you can't take my word for it, listen for yourself. :o) (Note that Solid Gospel DJ Greg Goodman assumes incorrectly that the Crabb Family won't be eligible for the Mixed Quartet award next year...um...by the time the Crabb Family retires in August 2007, all the Fan Award voting will be over, so yes, they will be eligible.)
