I LOVE this CD!! There are upbeat songs to really lift your spirit and put a smile on your face, and there are slow songs for when you really need to meditate on how good the Lord has been to you. I was not able to watch Sunday Best because I didn't have any cable, and I hate I missed Shari Addison singing on there. This CD is wonderful. I didn't think I would like it this much. I especially love #5, Please Make Me Better...I LOVE that song because right now that is my prayer, Please Make Me Better LORD...it doesn't matter what you have to take away from me or what I have to do endure, just PLEASE Make Me Better LORD!!! This CD is a must have. I can't even listen to my other new CDs because I don't want to take this one out!!!

In anticipation of this release, I didn't expect anything more or less from Ms. Addison. The anointing that she has on her life is immeasurable. To be honest, I've only gotten through half of the project, and from what I've heard, each track gets better and better and has its own distinction and certainly exemplifies her powerhouse vocals. She totally ministers full-force, providing a hint of indication that she'll be around for a while! Support this woman of God!

So, maybe I'm not the best judge when it comes to what is or isn't good gospel. I'm a non-religious (but, I'd like to think, spiritual) middle-aged white guy who's had no personal exposure to African-American churches. That said, I connect strongly to the music that comes out of them. Whether it's classical singers like Kathleen Battle and Leontyne Price singing traditional spirituals, or Oleta Adams and Take 6 (a huge favorite) praising God in a more pop-infused manner, there's a clarity and truth of purpose I find very moving and emotional. Shari Addison, in this terrific debut album, brings a funk/R&B soul element to gospel that I haven't -- in my limited experience -- encountered before. If contemporary Christian pop can be down 'n' dirty, this is it. In some ways, Addison reminds me of Mahalia Jackson in the way she grinds things up, digging deep into the material; she certainly sings from the depths of her being. Not that she doesn't at times display a softer, no less successful, side. Basically, she's Mandisa with an edge, if that helps. Look, if Shari Addison can make this forty-something half-Jew want to jump up and testify, imagine what she can do for true believers. Highly recommended.

I am inspired when I listened to Shari's freshman CD. A good variety for the youth all the way to the mothers board @ church. Daily I hear a song that ministers to me. I believe the best is yet to come for this psalmist's future. M. Dukes

I WATCHED MRS.ADDISON ON BET AND SHE IS TRULY HAS AN ANOINTED VOICE. THIS CD IS A BLESSING. YOU CAN HERE THE SINCERITY OF HER PRAISE IN HER VOICE. SHE STANDS OUT TO ME AS A TRUE AND FAITHFUL WOMAN OF GOD AND SINGS ONLY FOR HIS GLORY. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED BUT ANOINTED WHEN YOU HERE THIS CD.

I really enjoyed the CD. Sheri Addison is a very talented Gospel singer. Every song on this CD is wonderful. My favorite is "One More Sunny Day."

Oh I just love her!!!! I can wait for what else she has to bring to the gospel community. I so enjoyed her on Sunday's Best. She is truely a gifted and annointed woman of God and a great singer. This cd will really bless you.

Sherri was the runner up for Sundays Best, and she was my best pick. I love her CD. You must have it.

If you like CeCe Winans, DeLeon, Shirley Murdock and other R&B infused Gospel Divas, you will looooove this!!! It is the best Gospel Album this year. Tempered with more traditional Gospel, R&B Gospel and a little Hip Hop Gospel songs like "Whateva" and "You Can Rise" will have your head bobbin' and toes tappin' in the streets!!! I have played this CD every day since I brought it. Thank you Shari for letting us "40 somethings" know that it ain't over till God says so and what God has ordained for you no one can take from you. Go Shari!

This lady is truly anointed by God. I can feel His presence in all of her presentations. How refreshing - listen and feel the artist!
