It wouldn’t be an awards show without some form of divine inspiration; whether a diamond cross draped on the neck of a rapper, or an acceptance speech thanking God. But rarely is gospel music celebrated and televised live during an awards show.
The BET Awards isn’t just any awards show.
Mary Mary has just been announced as the next artists to join the star-studded lineup of performers at this year’s BET Awards.
The two-time Grammy Award-winning gospel music duo, consisting of sisters Erica Campbell and Tina Campbell, will join Jay-Z, Soulja Boy, Maxwell, Ne-Yo and Beyoncé as performers on the biggest night in entertainment.
Nominated for a BET Award eight times – including this year in the Best Gospel Artist category – Mary Mary will look to bring the house down with their amazing and unique brand of contemporary gospel. Their latest album, “The Sound,” is RIAA certified Gold and was the top gospel album on the charts.
With the duo’s tantalizing vocals set to blow you away, how could you possibly afford to miss this year’s monster awards show?
The answer is quite simple – you can’t.
The 2009 BET Awards will air live from Los Angeles, Calif., on Sunday, June 28 on BET at 8 p.m./7C.
