Me too!!! Getting an award as a VOCALIST, should be someone with an OUTSTANDING voice....not that Brandon can't sing, but he's just your average Joe, ya know...getting an award should be because it STANDS out, and we all know who's voice stops you in your tracks....now THAT'S what a Male Vocalist of the year SHOULD do, no?

...did I make any sense...lol

Lo, you made plenty of sense to me.

Let's put David up there on the stage and let him sing Nessun Dorma and then watch the powers that be take the statue right back out of the hand they just put it in and give it to David instead!

If they'd just let him sing one year, the rest of them would realize that he is the best "vocalist." No one is a better vocalist than he is. If they aren't going to award the best vocalist, they need to get rid of the category. It's disappointing to see some of the same performers year after year. That's MY two cents' worth.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. I THINK HE SHOULD BE INVITED TO SING AT THE AWARD SHOW AND LET THE VIEWING AUDIENCE HEAR HIM. I BELIEVE IT WOULD CHANGE A LOT OF MINDS.

Amen Linda!! I agree...Like I said earlier it's more of a popularity contest...The talent is not the main focus of the award!! He needs to sing at the awards ceremony!!

Willie, I think what he meant by "vocal android" wasn't about sounding like a robot as much as the ability to sing like no other....maybe I'm not wording this right, but that is my thinking......anyone else come up with a better way of describing what Wes meant?

I agree with you, Melissa. I do believe it is talking about David's incredible, unbelievable, powerful, phantastic voice (need I go on).

Brandon Heath was named best new artist last year and is more in the pop/contemporary department, plus he had 'song of the year' this year, all of which contributed to his win as best male vocalist last night.

Brandon is a good vocal stylist, but as just about everyone here knows, he cannot hold a candle to David as a vocalist.

I see Wes' video humorously refers to David as "The Android" -- probably referring to David's mind-blowing range and clean, brilliant delivery. But I don't think this fits at all. David's tone is really, really clean, but that doesn't mean he sounds robotic or lacks feeling -- quite the opposite. He has a plaintive sound that is perfect for gospel music and which "lifts you up and brings you to your knees at the same time," as Mary Jo commented.
