From beginning to end, the show was amazing. T. D Jakes, preached and if you didn't get a message, you were not listening. The power that flowed through that arena was more than good, it was Awesome.
You could have sang, prayed or even danced your blessing on. Whatever you have chose to do, it was okay. All in all the blessing were there. I walked out feeling good and to this day I still feel good, even if I'm just talking about.
What a awesome, awesome show from beginning to end.

The show was very good, but it was very long. We came to see the competition and the show was so long we stayed until TD Jakes preached and had to leave because it was getting so late. So many areas of competitions unbelieveable.

The Gospelfest show itself was good but the sound was horrible. It seems the venue was made just for sporting events, because where we were sitting you couldn't understand anything the participants were saying, it was so muffled. In fact the audience cried out when T.D. Jakes spoke because we couldn’t hear him. Also, the folks that sat in the upper seats could not see well, there should have been a jumbo-tron for those folks. Very good line-up, but I gave the show a poor rating because of the sound and lack of viewing capability.

Man, I enjoyed this Gospel Fest. Even the little children were amazing. I got to see TD Jakes, Sissy Houston, John P. Keyes, Hezikiah Walker, Aretha Franklin, and Donnie McCurklin. there was another guy after Hez Walker but I forget. I was so thrilled to see Sissy and Retha. Yes.

This was my first experience in years attending the gospelfest, and I was excited because I was celebrating my birthday with my husband. We were on the top balcony. It was our first visit to the Prudential Arena, and because the tickets were purchased for us we didn't know how far away the seats were. So we thought that it still shouldn't be an issue because it was an arena that had them media capability. Well not only did we not see, we could not hear.
It was so bad that the audience started yelling "we can't hear". I discovered that the promoters used their own equipment. Why? !!! It was inadequate. We tried to make the best of it but left but got fed up and left a few minutes into Aretha Franklin's performance because we couldn't hear, and what we did hear from that whole evening was poor. If you can't afford to use the facilities equipment, then use a facility that your own can handle.

My sister, daughter, and I had a wonderful time at the Gospelfest. The acts, ambiance, and crowd energy was memorable. It made my Mothers Day weekend unforgettable. Thank you for making this event attainable.I am already making plans to get floor seats for next year's show and bring more people.

I would definitely go again, but I find that the event itself was extremely long. For the older people, it is rather stressful to be in a sitting position for that long of a period. I could not stay to see Donnie McClerkin because my knees were hurting. Future performances should have breaks in between so that people can stretch and walk around. As for the sound, it was very poor and inferior. I could barely hear many of the performances, and many times the sound was louder and out of proportion in contrast to the singers and artists, which could not be heard for the most part. TD Jakes could not be heard at all, which was very disappointing. For the cost to attend this event, I would have expected a lot better. I love Gospel and I would go again but I would not recommend the event to a friend until I see some mprovements in the areas mentioned. As for the children and adult perfomances, it was wonderful and the main performers were outstanding without a doubt, though I would have appreciated all performances a lot more had there been better sound quality.

Gospelfest was superb as usual. The idea of having all of those talented people under the same roof is incredible. I have quite a few fav moments: It was great to hear Bishop Jakes preach as always, and very touching to watch Miss Aretha Franklin perform. Hezekiah Walker & Smokie Norful & John P kee was fantabulous. Miss houston's voice was strong and beautiful. Donnnie McClurkin was marvelous, his new song "Higher Ground" is very nice. Not to mention the competitors, the Mcdonald's kids, & the choir from Japan all terrific. I love the preaching kid with the cane he's just beyond delightful.

Aretha was amazing! But general sound production and delays between performances meant this was not the best gospel fest. They needed Steve Harvey.

Too long & too much fluff

The show was at the Prudential Center and the service was terrible. The pretzal tasted old. The staff at the concesson stands by the are 132 were not pleasant. The sound system was muffled. The screen was near the stage so it was no help to people in nose bleed seats. Seating was to steep. @

First, the show started late. Next there were too many amateure acts. The children were amazing but too much at one time. In total there were over 3 hours of acts from the children and teens. Also they made the show seem like it was centered around Mother's Day, so I brought my mother and law tickects as a gift. Some of the acts featured gospel rap, which is nice for the young generation but not to grandmothers and the elderly. Next the main acts didn't start until after 7pm. The main act Donnie didn't go on until after 11pm. While I enjoyed his beautiful voice, I couldn't really get into it because it was simply too late. My mother and law and I was tired. A lot of people started leaving so it wasn't just us. T.D. Jakes did amazing job, but it was too short. He only remained on stage for 20 minutes tops. Aretha Franklin was great until her son came out and did another gospel rap instead of letting the Willam brothers do another song.
