Hi, Mide!

As a fellow CCM fan, I need to ask what are your favorite fashion moments from ccm artists? There are a ton of opportunities, but most looks are very casual and/or boring.

hey, I apologize for the delay in response, there was a hurricane in my area and I’ve not been able to access the internet for about three days now.

in my opinion, my favourite fashion moments from CCM artists are:

for KING & COUNTRY

maybe it is my bias speaking because personally, I wouldn’t have spared CCM a second look if it wasn’t for these awesome gentlemen

yeah, I had to include their wives because my goodness 😘👌🏾. this is from last year’s Dove Awards.

this was from the 2019 Grammys and as usual, they delivered

this picture is from the 2019 GMA Dove Awards and look, I’m no expert in fashion but again, they slayed with the coats (I especially love Joel Smallbone’s long coat)

Colton Dixon

trust me, his hair alone deserves an award of its own

there’s probably more but these are the ones I could think up on the spot.

Plane Crash Leaves 7 Dead, Including 3 Members Of Gospel Group The Nelons

ENTERTAINMENT: OCT 16 GMA Dove Awards NASHVILLE, TN – OCTOBER 16: The Nelons arrives on the red carpet at the 49th Annual Dove Awards on October 16, 2018 at Allen Arena in Nashville, TN.

Seven people, including three members of the family gospel group The Nelons, died in a plane crash in Wyoming on Friday afternoon.

The Gaither Management Group said in a statement on Saturday that Kelly Nelon Clark, her husband Jason Clark, and their daughter Amber Nelon Kistler were on their way to the Gaither Homecoming Cruise to Alaska when the accident happened.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the collision happened close to the northeastern town of Recluse, Wyoming.

Autumn Nelon Streetman, another member of the group and Kelly and Jason’s other daughter, released a statement following the tragedy.

“Prayers that have been extended already to me, my husband, Jamie, and our soon-to-be-born baby boy, as well as Jason’s parents, Dan and Linda Clark,” she thanked in a brief statement that she released. “We appreciate your continued prayers, love, and support as we navigate the coming days.”

The group’s last Instagram post was on Friday after they documented a pit stop in Nebraska.

“Gaither Homecoming Alaskan cruise. We are on our way,” Jason Clark said before panning the camera to show the rest of the group.

Melodi Hodges, pilot Larry Haynie and his wife Melissa, pilot Nathan Kistler, Amber’s husband, and an assistant were also killed in the crash.

It wasn’t immediately evident what caused the collision. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is looking into the incident.

An NTSB spokesperson stated that preliminary data suggests that a Pilatus PC-12/47E, a turboprop aircraft with a single engine, “impacted terrain following a reported autopilot issue during flight.”

The spokesperson stated that not much information is currently available and that the investigation is still in its early stages. A team from the agency was headed to the crash site. 

The spokesperson also said that the team will start inspecting the aircraft as soon as they have access to the plane, which is located in a remote area.

The Nelons have recorded more than 35 albums and amassed over 20 Top 5 Southern Gospel radio singles for songs including “Thanks,” “Come Morning,” “We Shall Wear a Robe and Crown,” and “O for a Thousand Tongues.”

In 2016, they were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Throughout their career, they received a Grammy nomination for best Southern gospel album in 1991 and 35 nominations for the GMA Dove Awards. They most recently won a Dove Award for country/bluegrass/roots recorded song of the year in 2021 for “If God Pulled Back the Curtain.”

2024 GMA Dove Awards Nominations: Brandon Lake Leads http://dlvr.it/TB15vc

[xpoken]

Grâce aux singles "Whispers In The Dark", "The Older I Get", "Rebirthing" et d'autres, le disque est devenu une autre percée dans la biographie créative de Skillet et a été nominé deux fois pour l'American Grammy Music Award, et la chanson titre "Comatose " a été reconnu comme le meilleur rock - Chanson de l'année 2008 au GMA Dove Award

S'étant éloigné des sujets liés à l'église et à la religion, Cooper craignait qu'il n'y ait pas de place pour de nouvelles chansons sur les ondes des radios chrétiennes, mais néanmoins le morceau "The Last Night" trouva son auditeur et atteignit la 16e ligne de le palmarès Billboard Hot Christian Chansons.  La tournée, qui s'est déroulée dans 30 villes des États-Unis d'Amérique, est devenue l'un des spectacles les plus spectaculaires du groupe et a contribué au succès commercial de l'album, qui était accompagné d'une version DVD avec une pochette spéciale et un livret photos.

L'apogée de la carrière créative de Cooper et Skillet a été le septième album studio intitulé "Awake".  Partant de la 2e position dans la liste des 200 meilleures chansons, le nouveau projet s'est facilement distribué à 68 000 exemplaires au cours de la première semaine de vente.  Les singles "Hero" et "Monster" sont devenus si populaires qu'ils ont commencé à être utilisés comme bandes sonores pour des événements sportifs, des émissions de télévision et des jeux vidéo, et la célèbre composition "Awake and Alive" a sonné dans le blockbuster Transformers 3 : Dark of the Lune.

Christopher Scott Greenwood, better known by his stage name Manafest is a Canadian rapper and musician who has been producing music since the year 2000. He has won several awards like GMA Canada Covenant Awards, GMA Dove Awards, and has been nominated for multiple Juno Awards. He had released a song called 'Edge of my Life' on 27th June 2014 which is one of my favorites songs by him. Song Meaning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_qrOHsDsQ4 Manafest talks about struggles in life. He may or may not be taking his own example in the track, but it is to motivate people who are undergoing hardships in life. The lyrics are such that they relate to common people. Its not exactly his own experience, but he is not stranger to tough times himself and has probably used those experiences to create lyrics in his track. His father committed suicide when he was just 5 years old. He talked about how it was difficult to be in school. He was labelled as a timid and shy person who couldn't focus on his studies. He talked about how Jesus gave him new hope in life. He also fell in love with skateboarding which helped through those difficult times. At 18, however another tragedy struck his life when he met with an accident and had to leave skate boarding. His girlfriend also left him and he was again in a dark place. It was when music found him and his love for music gave him a new hope in life. For a huge majority of the crowd, music may just be fun past time but for some people music is a way of life in itself. Music can relate to our situations and help us overcome painful experiences and traumas. When we listen to artists who have been through tough times, we are filled with hope and realize that we aren't the only people going through bad times. The song is about how one must keep going even if they feel like they are literally being pushed off the edge. That was my opinion on the song. Let me know yours in the comments below.
