Reviews for Sunday Best and Exalted

I just watched the two new shows on BET - Sunday Best and Exalted.

SUNDAY BEST

Sunday Best was pretty good. There were some good singers on there. My favorite was the girl who came in after a night of partying and blew away the judges, BeBe, and the duo Mary Mary.

He was keeping the party going, for sure. The guy who sung "Whose Your Daddy" had his heart in the right place, but I don't think it is scripturally accurate to say that Jesus is "your daddy." Isn't he more like a brother?? What do you think?

It looks like it will be a very promising show giving viewers an inside snapshot of what it means to be a minister in the 21st century. (that is the century we are in, right?) Well anyway, tonight's episode showcased Juanita Bynum's journey into ministry -- including that infamous night in the hotel parking lot. It was interesting to see an excerpt from an interview where Bynum shared that she has had plastic surgery -- it seems like everyone is getting something done... I can't wait 'til it is my turn. That got me to thinkin' -- what does the Bible say about plastic surgery? Is there anything for or against it? And wouldn't you know -- there is a website that purports to have an answer:
