Dove Awards

Today is the event that drives all of the greatest christian artists to Nashville, TN for the Annual Dove Awards. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, it is like the Grammys for Christian music. The problem is that most of the time the GMA (Gospel Music Association, not Good Morning America) picks almost the same artists every year. It is always so predictible on who will be nominated because it is usually the CCM artists that are overplayed on stations like KlOVE and KFSH. I'm not saying that these artists are bad but I will say that most often there are better bands to pick then just Jeremy Camp, Third Day and Brandon Heath. Even the some Rock catagories are nominated to artists that don't even come close to deserving it

Okay so enough on bashing the dove awards and now I will start my predictions on who will win, who should have won, and who was just out of the whole picture but totally deserved it. You can view the whole nomination list here

Restart

Well its been yet another month since I have blogged. I keep meaning to do this more but I am always too busy or lazy to do so. You will now find that I am not updating My Flick Reviews any further but it will be still available where it is now if you want to read any of the old posts.

Now any new movie reviews that I decide that I want to do will be found here on this blog. My blog is now actually retitled to "The Blog of EN". I may change it again later but that is what I have picked right now. I don't hate the old name but I thought it was time for a new name. If you have a suggestion then please let me know and maybe I will consider it. =)
