Kirk Franklin and the others

Last night was the concert with big names here at the festival. It was supposed to start at 23.00, or 11PM as they say over here, but it started after midnight. I was very tired and some of the artists that were singing made me more tired. Not because they were bad or boring, but because they screaming to a singback tape. I am swedish and swedish people usually don't appreciate singback artists. But not all evening was like that. James Hall was there with his church choir, and he was crazy and energetic as usual. What really reached me was a performance with Jessica Ready. She's new to this scene, but had a great voice and great personality. My friend Myron Butler did great, but Kirk Franklin was the best as usual. He finished the whole concert around 2.30 in the night, together with the young adult choir from GMWA. He had not prepared anything, except "Smile", so he did the songs that we requested from the audience. It was pretty cool!
