Kim Burrell Addresses Sunday Best Confrontation 

She STILL does not get it. Discussing and laughing during an audition was NOT the time or place. SAVE IT for the break. Sounds like an angry woman to me and God AINT in THAT.

Do you notice when a so-called christian is wrong they throw the name of GOD around a million times to convince themselves that are right? The whole time GOD knows they are wrong!

Kim Burrell is somebody who I would keep my distance from because I sense something negative in her spirit.

Her behavior is UNACCEPTABLE I don't care who she is.

Just because you can sing gospel, doesn’t mean you are filled with the gospel. She’s always opening up her big silver back mouth

"The young man wanted all of their attention at one time?" "We were in the middle of a discussion about something that had nothing to do with him?" "Comic relief ?" Wow! You were dead wrong Ms. Burrell. I think people would have more respect for you if you just owned what you did, apologized and moved forward. Not rationalizing and acting like the guy went off on you and mcclurkin for nothing. He could not hear what the other judges were saying to him because of you and your friend of "20 years" deciding that his audition was a good time to chop it up! Apologize to him and your fans, repent and move forward lady. Blaming the contestant? Smh!

She was being rude. Simple as that. There was no excuse for their behavior

Kim..u r wrong for wearing that dress.

I'm not buying it. She is always clowning somebody on the show.

Im not buyin it either she still tryin to plead her case when she was dead wrong

for the guy that said, " Thats God " I am sorry but stevie wonder could see she was lying

I think her spirit and Miss Donnie's spirit realized it wasn't a fight they wanted with Chris. One thing people will find out is that you don't mess with a Country Queen at all. I'm glad he went in !

no matter how many auditions you saw it's still nice to be respectful. if you dont like your job go do something else. im gonna keep her and that young man in my prayers. God will fix it and he knows all things.

I don't believe Kim is sincere. Sorry. It was rude no matter what you were talking about. I would have perceived it the same way had I been standing there in front of you. Don't discuss anything while someone else is talking. You were the one showing out. If cursing was foaming up in your mouth then you may as well have cursed. Just try to be a little more humble. We all have room for improvement.

Prime example of standing in a garage won’t make you a car, just like singing the gospel, reciting scriptures and going to church every Sunday, bible study on Wednesday, choir rehearsal on Saturday does not make you a Christian 💯😒her spirit is not of the God I serve. She may serve a God but Definitely not mine💯My God is a God of mercy, kindness and humility🙏🏽

She and Donnie were beyond tacky and disrespectful to that contestant and i am sooo glad he called them out and that he stood his ground with them both. Miss Burrell has shown that she’s a fake christian multiple times from her actions. She’s pitiful!

Still rude cannot accept that apology. Professionalism is EVERYTHING, your getting paid to do a job, DO YOUR JOB!

this chick needs to worry about that dress she got on....hot mess😣😣😣😷😷

As an experienced musician and singer she needed to shine the light on the young guy who put his heart to sing. Kim/Donnie needed to apologize. Very unprofessional when someone else is sharing feedback. No need to justify.

She should've worn a choir robe for this speech

Eventhough the laughing and chuckling wasn't about him... It was still out of order. Their job was to Sit listen and judge. Just like the other two judges were doing. And they weren't fulfilling their duties. And when they got called on it. They got attitudes like how dare you talk towards me. especially the case pleader herself/Diva. People are treating that like their one and only shot to make something out of "LIFE" it's not just a gig for them and you do them like that....???

Kim go sit yourself down. He put u in your place because it was needed. He sung his heart out, instead of laughing in his face, give him the direction that he needs to follow so that he can become a great singer. Kim go make some more records, u are the greatest two faced so call Christian. This is why a lot of people doesn't want to go church. Thanks Kim for making ppl not to believe in themselves and to not trust god of making people like yourself

What you need to do is setting the record straight on why you don't have on a girdle...

Seems like she trying to plead her case to me! Both were very rude. The expressions on the faces of Donnie and Kim said it all. They were talking about that boy and these Christians just told a bold face lie. You famous now but the same way God gave it he most definitely can take it away!!!

Ummmm her explanation just painted the picture of conviction!

Kim Burrell is still proud and hurt. Sunday Best is just a spinoff from the world an imitated copy from American Idol.

This is shameful. A simple I'm sorry was too much to hope for televised or otherwise. wow

Gospel music is so distorted .If you notice , the white singers don't do this. If they do , you never hear about it. Our culture is lost and we have taken God's music and made it competition . Worship is a life not a song. Why aren't we teaching that? We must adjust our ways and focus on God only

If it's dark, and you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, if you hit a dog, he's gonna yelp... she's trying to plead her case.. Definitely. She knows they were wrong.. no judgment here, just looking at the facts, they were very unprofessional..#look at the attitude she has as she's "justifying" her actions...

Wow....... This video just shows how easily we can walk in the flesh. We need to acknowledge something; Sunday Best is a competition.. While it is filled with praise and worship, It is still a competition... So imagine trying to audition for a competition and a judge is ignoring you.... I would have been mad at them as well... My concerns are 1. He singled out Kim and brought up old stuff... Both Kim and Donnie were involved here.... He did not even wanna hear Donnie... While understood, was this the best approach to the situation??? 2. Her attitude then and even in this video left us wanting a Christian approach. You love God, yes but the flesh is there, waiting for an opportunity to show up... I personally think it showed up in this response.... 3. She clearly is not over it... "I am not gonna get thrown under the bus..." After that statement, everything you say sounds defensive..... I hope this is a lesson to all of to walk in wisdom... "A soft answer turns away wrath..."

Nah, I used to be a big Kim Burrell fan until today and I saw this video and the one on Sundays Best. The bottom line is she should have apologize to him and said I'm so sorry you thought tgat. We should have not have been talking while you were singing cause he was right. And Donnie McClure in with his gay ass needs to shut up. They were wrong. And the mere fact she did this supports that they were wrong. Hypocrites.

Bye Felicia!!! I'm not convinced. Their is NO justification for what she did. Her and Donnie both. She didn't set anything straight.

These wicked blasphemous people living for the world, they need to humble themselves. Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth have mercy on the church 💔

She was rude, no way to flip it. You couldn't even hear the other judge talking to him. For her giggling

She’s so supposed to be saving lives but she up there throwing shade. She’s the reason why people stay away from church

This is what angers me about the Church. Because of God’s love, mercy, and forgiveness, people act like they are immune to being held responsible for their actions. Well even if you are forgiven for being a dumb ass like Kim is all the time, it don’t stop you from natural consequences. Kim is experiencing the backlash she understandably is receiving for being a self-centered, entitled, arrogant individual. She has no genuine humility or compassion for anyone else but herself. She needed to be humbled and ask for that man to forgive her for being so rude and for ignoring him while he was auditioning. That moment was very important to him and all the contestants. If she needed comic relief, then laugh during a commercial break. Or go to the bathroom in between contestants and giggle a little. Don’t laugh in someone’s face and then say “It wasn’t about you. We have our own relationship.” Girl! That’s the whole point! This moment is SUPPOSED to be about him! This is his moment and your job is to critique him, giving him your undivided attention!!! You ain’t supposed to be talking to anyone else! Why can’t you let that in YOUR thick, stubborn brain? You were supposed to be doing your job and now you are putting God’s name on your insubordination? Acting like a victim? GURL PLEASE! You are the reason our communities of color aren’t taken seriously! You’re delusional and you need Jesus! Don’t just read the Bible to feel arrogant. Read it and believe it! Apply it! Kim, you seriously need a heart change. Read what the fruit of the Spirit is! You need some! Your Spirit stinks; it just reeks.

From the beginning to the end, It's your job to treat everyone with dignity and respect NO MATTER HOW TIRED YOU ARE!!! Piss poor excuse from a so called professional!!!

I don't believe this crap, explaining yourself does not mean you start off with " I ain't worried bout him, you think I'm worried bout him?'' If you knew he had so much going on, then where was the compassion and empathy from the get go? All that dude did was tell you and Donnie what those before him was afraid to do, and these azz kissers at this show irritate me ... GOOHWTBS !!

Sometimes it is easier to say, "MY BAD, I CORRECTED THE MATTER AND WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN!"

As I watch Ms. Burrell all I can think about is FOUNDATION honey! She needs either a mirror or a real friend, just sayin'! ✌️

She needs to stop, she has the opportunity to have an audience and use it to justify herself. She is wrong and she should be humble enough to understand the young man and just apologize. When you are a supposedly "Godly" leader, you have to show those leadership qualities. She should be reaching out to the youngman in love, but instead she is using the her status to continually berate the youngman. Where is the true love of God in this?

This shows the true colors of Christians, she on here trying to Justify herself and make herself look good after she was made a fool on T.V. The bait of satan is the SPIRIT OF OFFENSE, She OFFENDED! Get over it Kim. Was never a fan of her's anyways. As my nieces always say, BYE FELICIA!

She spends more time offending people then turnaround defending herself....sad she is who she is

LIAR!!! Y'all were mean, disrespectful and rude!!! If someone is performing and you're barely paying attention, but sitting there snickering and cracking jokes, what is somebody supposed to think?!

She speaks from a self righteous place & it comes off very shady.

She’s the ONE that needs God. The nerve of her.

Bottom line she was rude, conceited, inconsiderate and arrogant. If she can't do her job she needs to quite. She trampled over love, kindness and patience. The high road is to apologies. The low road is to make excuses. If you are tired let someone else judge. She is not what she appears to be. Kim has a spirit of a jezebel. jezebels never apologize or humble themselves and they always point there finger at someone else. She needs deliverance. Donnie at lease looked sorry. And yes I am a deliverance minister. I See this too much in the church and It makes God look Bad

No! it hasn't changed a thing over here!! LOL some Christians get beside themselves. The young man could have went off on them waaaaaaaay worse than what he did, but he didn't. But he had every right to stand up for himself.

I’m not buying it she has a messy spirit and everybody knows that…

So folks are supposed to subject themselves to and accept abuse within the church, Kim? That’s not Christ-like at all! She’s standing there trying to convince the church that they didn’t see what they saw, like a magician trying to pull off an illusion. Just unbelievable how selfish she is! 😒

She said a whole lot of nothing. She's wrong and he's wrong PERIOD!

He was a 100% right. She was not being professional

What the name of that beat at the end of the song?

EXCUSES! This woman should be CANCELLED. This is the reason soooo many of us have left the church. She has a history of this though!

That dress is hurting.. That belly.. Lol and she's wasn't even expecting..

I still believe she and the man being discussed were wrong in that moment but I was glad to see in the end cooler heads and more compassionate hearts prevailed. BET may have used it for ratings, but they didn't edit out any pertinent information that would cause her explanation to be anything more than her trying to save face. She apologized for her actions and should have left it at that. As stated earlier, I believe both she and the young man were wrong but she had a greater responsibility to show humility at that moment that would have prevented the need for this moment.

Where did she think she was at with that dress and those shoes on😂 framing her like that

She was wrong.......

I didn’t feel no oil… she say she love everybody but always talking bout ppl, making folks feel bad, and going off on people

and why are you talking about something else that had nothing to do with him, y'all could've a that convo later.

Thou doth protest too much. WWJD?

Wow... That young man was right and Kim knew it...that's why she is still talking about it.The truth hurt's Ms.Burrell!!!

We have to stop supporting people like this. Not stop loving her but stop supporting the music that says praise God, but talks about the people of God! That’s soo sad!

She cannot see anything straight!!! Now she is saying we shouldn’t believe our own eyes and ears. Frankly I do not care what she and Donnie were laughing about. The fact that they were talking and laughing while this man was auditioning was rude and disrespectful. Their actions meant they were not doing there “job” , and/or giving him the respect of paying attention to his audition. They were out of order and needed to be “checked”. They owe him an apology...period!

REALLY??? she didn't need to get in public and call him out like that, she should have done that when it happened. instead she has to justify her actions as if it was ok. It was rude to laugh and talk with side convo while he stood there.

point is you were rude to that boy

The fact that she even felt the need to “set” anything straight just says she knew she was guilty. Lady go sit down!!

Its so hard for some people to just say "hey im sorry i was wrong. I shouldnt have done that". Accountability

Kim u messy as hell

Can we just be one on one and say she shouldn't wear that dress 😩

She should’ve got it straight in her own. Not in the pulpit.

This is my issue with the whole ordeal.......IF YOU'RE WRONG YOUR WRONG!!! That's the end of that. These so called Christians want to justify there behavior and throw God in the mix and the same time??? You can't have it both ways. Trust me I've had my share of church hurt, but this right here is some nonsense.

She’s turning it to flip it on him saying, “He already had something going on before he came in”. Professionalism would’ve made you hold your laughter while your colleagues on the panel spoke. She told somebody to stop singing while she was singing, but she thinks this is ok. She has a beautiful voice, but I just can’t with her.

If it was resolved then why did she bring it back up? She insulted the guy yet again in this video. Then she said cuss rose up??? Rude Rude Rude. I love the voice, but that and this is unexcussble when you have lives at stake that are looking up to you.

This the reason why some folks don't go to church now 😂😆 😆😂😂. But this is too funny this lady is crazy sometimes

She say don't always believe what you think you see..

seems to me she tryna plead her case...... She don't get it...

You and Donnie were laughing during the young man's performance and that was rude. It may not have been about him but the mere fact that it was disrespectful to ignore his performance. Now you are trying to cover up for your poor behavior. It was rude and fix it! Donnie, I have always like your songs, but Kim, though I respect your service to The Almighty, you do too many runs!!! You were rude and don't try to justify it by putting down the young man. Be a woman of God and just say, "My behavior as an adjudicator was rude and my comments were not Godlike"! I know He isn't finished with you because based on this video from what I can see, YOU need to work on quite a bit. GOD sees everything!

She is pleading her lies anybody that saw that heard what they said she was talking about him she lying

Her music should be boycotted and she should be removed from the panel. Now she is attempting to appear compassionate...she TOLD him she had decided not to vote for him in the beginning...so she was disregardibg him, and laughing and talking to Donnie. Also, he should have had “all of her attention”...that was her JOB! If her minions want to accept that mess she spewing...so be it...but I know our Messiah does NOT! She publicly disrespected him, embarrassed, him, and insulted him. She needs to publicly REPENT!

That's exactly why she doesn't have a Grammy nor major following. Ghetto Fabulous!!!!

Why is she wearing that dress? Yes she was wrong. Yes she is rude. But even more importantly, why is she wearing that dress?

She still was wrong 🤷🏾‍♂️. She didn’t set the record straight because she is saying the same thing she was saying when the incident happened 🤷🏾‍♂️. It was wrong then and it’s wrong now.

I’m glad she not on anymore. I like how it is now

"we're talking business" really??... the only response to a young man risking eviction. Sunday best was not the time, it's wrong and the young man called y'all out on it

You can’t be mean, ugly, and ill-built at the same time. I have 0 respect for her

Yolanda is the only woman of God here,does anyone see and feel that in their spirit?

People just listen to ANYTHING and ANYBODY as long as it's cloaked with the word of God. That Devil was wrong, and she knows it. The Devil can preach a good sermon. When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them! That's on Mary had a little Lamb!!!

I believe she and Donnie had gotten a bit relaxed and were discussing something else. I mean after you've done something all day , I'm sure you get relaxed and a bit distracted . However the church is dragging her as though she did something so horrible! Gimme me a break! Typical , church , unforgiving and merciless !

You threw yourself under the bus! You were clearly being rude. You wouldn’t be doing this in the middle of your concert if you weren’t embarrassed. You trying to to clean this up isn’t helping you

Heavyweight gospel singer with NO control over her diet

My my my .... when it's time to judge you I hope God isn't talking to one of the Angels giggling and not listening..... I see you mentioned that "he" had a lot of stuff going on and that "he" had an attitude.... what you never addressed is the fact that "you" were talking, and laughing, during the time that he was singing. You were supposed to be paying attention so yes.... you did throw him under the bus... And made yourself look worse. These are not you"fans" these are supposed to be servants of God looking for a WORD through song from The vessel God chose to use. Lord help... We are supposed to try to edify one another. Because when we sing a love song to Him, God becomes more in love with us.... He doesn't care how you sound.... until you start talking negatively about others.. take it under consideration the next time you ignore something you're supposed to be paying attention to..... Oooops you missed Heaven! And most of us will if we are not careful. 😥

My God! How idiotic and simpleminded some of these people are is simply amazing! Pleading her case? Feel sorry for poor Dennis?? Why are you worried about somebody else's actions that clearly has nothing to do with you? That completely means that your objective was not to serve and honor God through your voice and ministry, but actually planned to attack these gospel artists through whatever spirit or far-fetched reason you may believed that they were "laughing at you", Mr. Brigham, you certainly may have a heart for ministering the gospel of Jesus Christ through your voice but I promise you that the spirit of which you held that day isn't going to take you anywhere but right back out that door; then of which you being more disrespectful by saying you don't have to hear anything else?? Really?? Come on now, I'm sure you could've handled that confrontation a lot better than you did

As God's people we should learn to forgive and forget, and for those of you who are trash talking kim and donnie you all should ask God for forgiveness because you all are probably just as bad as you think they are. Now who is really fake.

Her attitude is nasty and I’m glad he told her off. She’s trying to clean it up but it’s not working.

It just wasn’t professional at the end of the day. There’s no justification for being unprofessional when you deal with people who are revealing something very sensitive about themselves to you and trusting that you will handle it with Care. Besides, I don’t see her really admitting she was wrong here. Seems like she shifted it all the Weight of negativity in the conversation on the young man and tried to plead her innocence to make it look like a big misunderstanding. I see a huge lack of accountability on her part here. But she’s still my Vocal hero!

Why can't she just let it go, it doesn't matter how long you she had been friends, in elementary school they teach you how to be quiet and listen to others, she was rude.

oooh KIM, kim, kim

Somebody said she is the “Monique” of Gospel.

The crowd cheering her own is the worst part. We saw that she aint shit and is extremely narcissistic.
