When I saw Celebration of Gospel it was really good so i order it hoping too see all the performer's only to find some of the better performers cut, very sad day when I looked at this version.

2.0 out of 5 stars Celebration of Gospel (2008), May 18, 2008

By	D. Jackson (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very excited when I heard this DVD came out because I enjoyed the TV version so much. If you are looking for what you saw on TV, DO NOT PURCHASE this DVD. They cut so much out of it, it's a shame. Steve Harvey DOES NOT appear as the host -- you don't see anyone hosting, just SOME of the performers performing. I did see him in one of the church choir scenes with BeBe Winnans, but they covered his face so you couldn't see him. Maybe this has something to do with royalties and being paid, but I was very disappointed and will probably give the DVD away or let it collect dust on my shelf.

2.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat Disappointing . . ., May 5, 2008

By	Deron Hutchinson "Deron" (Salt Lake City, Ut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been a fan of the BET Celebration of Gospel production's from their inception. But the for sale version of this one left me feeling cheated. They cut some very desirable performances by Yolanda Adams (featuring the ever-smooth Doc Powell) and Israel Houghton (featuring T-Bone, who burned it up that night) from the original taping. They also cut Steve Harvey's hosting spots. What's up BET? A disclaimer would have been appreciated.
