The 2015 Stellar Awards offered the familiar - a deserving award for a newcomer, several rousing performances -- and the unfamiliar: a surprise reunion of Destiny's Child members; Kelly Rowland, Beyonce and Michelle Williams.
Celebrating 30 years, the annual gospel award show was co-hosted by David Mann ("Mann & Wife), Tamela Mann ("Sparkle") and Ricky Smiley ("Dish Nation") and held at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
"Sin City" was turned into "Salvation City" as ten-time nominee Erica Campbell took top honors, winning six awards including; Artist of the Year, The Albertina Walker Female Vocalist of the Year, Contemporary CD of the Year and Urban/Inspirational Single or Performance of the Year. Onstage, Campbell acknowledged her sister, the other half of award-winning duo Mary Mary in her heartfelt remarks. Ricky Dillard and New G followed Campbell with three wins, and Deitrick Haddon tied with The Walls Group for two trophies apiece. On stage after winning the Male Vocalist of the Year award, Haddon expressed gratitude for being recognized following a difficult time in his life.
