BET Sunday Best Special Guest Apperance- Donald Lawrence

This season, Lawrence is a mentor to the contestants and gives them positive advice on how to improve their vocal skills. In addition, Lawrence was a guest blogger on www.bet.com/SUNDAYBEST with Torrence Glenn giving excellent feedback on each contestant.

Exclusive question and answer with SUNDAY BEST mentor, gospel artist, songwriter and producer Donald Lawrence:
Q. Did you disagree with any of the judge’s decisions?
A. “I was torn with the decision between eliminating Zeb or Dontavious. Both are amazing singers, but I think Zeb just had a little more stage personality. But I loved Dontavious and thought he was an amazing singer.”

Q. Comment on Zebulon’s strengths and what he needs to do to win?
A. “Zeb’s strengths are that he is an amazing vocalist. Zeb also has a great personality that shows through when he performs. Zeb owns the stage. For Zeb to win the song choice is going to be really important. Zeb is going to have to own the song and the moment to win.”

Q. Comment on Latice’s strengths and what she needs to do to win?
A. ” Latice’s strengths are not only is she an amazing singer, but she has great depth to her. Depth in her personality and depth that she puts into the lyric and the song. Latice really gets the lyric across when she performs. For Latice to win, she just needs to keep doing her thing. Song choice will be important too.”

Q. Comment on Jessica’s strengths and what she needs to do to win?
A. “Jessica’s strength is her tone! She has priceless tone. Her tone is so unique that the amount of range she has doesn’t matter. For Jessica to win she has to have a little more confidence. She has to be able to present and showcase the lyrics she is singing. And she must use her tone to her advantage.”

Q. Comment on Y’Anna’s strengths and what she needs to do to win?
A. ” Y’ Anna’s strength is that she is just a singer. Singing is in her fabric. She owns every song that she puts her voice on. For her to win song choice will be important as well. She needs the right song to put her voice on to win it all. She also needs to make sure she doesn’t get vocally tired during the process.”

Q. Since you’re known for developing and featuring vocalists who go on to big careers, would you consider signing any of the contestants to your label or featuring on one of your projects?
A.” I think all the singers are amazing and I would work with any of them, but, if I had to choose one singer to work with it would be Latice. Not just because of her amazing voice, but again, because of the depth she puts in every song and every lyric.”

    Y’Anna has proven that she possess amazing diversity with her ability to perform at many ranges!!! She is my all time favorite. Latica is awesome as well, and the two have such a variety to offer the gospel arena. In spite of Latica’s horseness… she prevails in each of her songs. On the other hand, Jessica has a beautiful voice, but is not Sunday Best material in my opinion. Her tone is jazzy, laid-back, and soft… which has an outstanding touch appropriate for a limited class of songs. But when it comes to testimonal type of songs, I fear that her soft tone totally loses the “intensity” of the experience she is trying to relay. Not enough power in her tone to cause a “jump-up-out-of-your-seat” sensation that would honestly put me to sleep if I had to listen to that same tone throughout ALL 14 tracks on a CD. Therefore, from my prospective, a Sunday Best all time great should be able to offer variety in order to attract a bigger and more diverse fan population. For enstance, Jessica may be able to capture those who enjoy “jazz”… but she’s limited to a specific group of people. Y’Anna’s and Latica’s diversity expands their territory… and between the two… they have what it takes to be the next Sunday Best!!!
