-----------April 18, 2007Diamond Awards Ever More BogglingVoting for the 2007 Diamond Awards is taking place HERE. The deadline for getting in your votes is May 19, 2007. Let me just say this about this year's crop of nominees. If you are one who looked over the Dove Award categories a couple of months ago and felt like something wasn't quite right with one or two nominations, your sonar signal ought to be red hot after seeing the Diamond Award nominations. You'll look at some of them and say, "WHO?" This is a cloud that hangs over these awards every year. Of course, it's inevitable with the Duet category when there's so few well known duet configurations from which to choose. Other categories are more telling, though. In the Male Vocalist category, you have Jason Crabb, Guy Penrod, etc., and Dale Golden. In the Female Vocalist category, you have Kim Hopper, Lauren Talley, etc., and Cheryl Golden. In the Trio category, the Mark Trammell Trio evidently isn't nearly as popular among Southern Gospel fans as Faith 3, the Alan Harris Family, and the Wright Family...yeah, wright. But it isn't just that aspect... The 2006 WINNER of the "Album Of The Year" (Give It Away by the Gaither Vocal Band) is nominated again for 2007. If the people running the Diamond Awards don't even bother to check to see when an album was released to be sure it falls within the year they're recognizing, how can these awards carry any degree of credibility? It's So God by Brian Free & Assurance is also nominated, even though it released very early in 2006. I could perhaps see that slipping in, but you'd at least think they'd remember, "Hey, the GVB won last year with Give It Away...maybe it shouldn't be nominated this time."
