As always, it is a blessing to be surrounded by Christian music's greatest and the Fox is one of our favorite venues. However, having experienced many live and taped productions and attended previous Dove Awards, we were extremely disappointed in the stage management and the lack of actual awards given during the 4 hour plus event. We have previously attended the awards on numerous occasions when they were broadcast live and things flowed much, much smoother. Only a handful awards were actually given out during the taping and we were relegated to checking online the next day to see who actually won the majority of the awards. I guess that our disappointment comes in that we attended an awards show hoping to actually see the awards being given.
On a more positive note, thank you Chonda Pierce! Without your humor, the evening would have felt even longer!
