Mary Mary, Tye Tribbet & GA

What happen's when gospel's most successful sister duo team up with one of the most energetic artists and groups? You get a dynamic performance that keeps viewers glued to their screens. The Stellars  are renowned for artist collaborations, but the producers hit gold with the Mary Mary/Tye Tribbett combo. Their incredible stage craft and chemistry shone through the performance leaving viewers wanting more.

Kirk Franklin featuring Sarah Reeves, Tasha Cobbs and Tamela Mann

Never one to shy away from weaving real life subject matters into his music, Kirk Franklin's statement performance at the 2017 Stellar Awards struck a chord with viewers. The poignant "My World Needs You" taken from Franklin's "Losing my Religion" album speaks about the social injustices in the world, asking God to rescue us from the storms that seek to tear our hearts in two. Using stage props, strong visuals and stage actors for the performance added a deeper dimension to the emotionally charged song.

Destiny's Child

Remember that time when Beyonc  "caught" the "Holy Ghost" at the Stellar's? Beyonc  and Kelly Rowland's surprise appearance at the 2015 Stellars alongside their Destiny's Child bandmate, Michelle Williams quickly turned into the "Beyonc  show." The trio's performance began with "Always  Remember" sung by Williams, and flowed seamlessly into the chorus of "Alpha  and  Omega," showcasing the groups warm harmonies. "If you love the Lord we want you to put your hands together," said Beyonce leading on to Williams smash hit "Say  Yes." In true Destiny's Child fashion, each lady sang lead however Beyoncs strong stage presence and "Holy Ghost" inspired dance moves clearly stole the show.
