Sunday's Best

I love Sundays Best. I don't get a chance to watch the show live I have to do a recap via the Internet. It is the only show that constantly bring me to tears. This season seemed rushed to me. They zipped through the contestants this year. I heard the most wonderful voices in any genre and I wanted the show to pan out like its role Idol. I really love the two finalist. I don't care which one win because they both deserve it. I really believe they should have co-winners. Jessica Reddy voice melts around lyrics with a soulful jazzy tone. Y'anna Crawford strong voice commands the lyric to been ans stretch at will. I can't wait to stand in line to buy their Cd's when they hit the stores. The finale is Mother's Day.
