I don’t like this idea at all. A group of us went this year and expected an even bigger group to come next year, but if it move to another date and location we will not be able to make it.

Changing the date and location for the Stellars is a great idea. I love Nashville but commuting there in January has been a cumbersome task for the last 3 years. I’m excited about the change and can’t wait to attend in 2014.

I like the idea on the date change and the move. However, there is a need to know where as soon as possible. Arrangements and vacations must be scheduled with companies of employment at certain times. And this is getting too close for comfort.

Hello,
I have attended the Stellar’s the past 3 years in Nashville, TN and I have been anticipating attending in 2014. I am very disappointed to hear that it will be moving to a new location and I pray that I will still be able to attend at the new location.

I plan to attend the 2014 Stellar Awards. I’ve never attended before and am looking forward to it. The date and location changes are not a problem for me. I do hope that the location is released ASAP, so that I can plan appropriately. Please consider Detroit for the 2014 Stellars. Detroit has birthed so many great musical artists, inclusive of many great gospel artists. Detroit welcomes the opportunity to roll out the red carpet for the Stellars in the “D”.

I don’t have a problem with the date, but like the previous writer, the location needs to be released ASAP as I reside I Anchorage, Alaska; I need to get an airline ticket with the best possible fare.

Change of date and location is great. To be honest there is only one location due to all the artist there and support of Gospel Music.
Atlanta!

Change is good, but the transition for change must be smooth with consideration for those of us who support the Stellar Awards yearly. By this time we should know where the Awards will be located. I live in Nashville and I have no problem traveling but please let us know Yesterday!!!!!!!! Be Blessed I chose Chicago

I Have Enjoyed Attending The Stellars In Nasville, Tn. The Change In The Date Is Not A Major Issue But The Location & City Is. If Economics Is The Reason & The Changes Will Keep The Show In Production I Understand & Will Miss Being In The Audience But Will Continue To Watch It On Tv.

Where ever it is going to be< i'd like to know before next year. But, bringing back home to Chicago wouldn't be a bad thing.

I’m disappointed no place has been named as I am looking forward to coming. However, where ever it’s going to be, I’ll be there. Please name a place. Let’s go to Atlanta. I’ll even be happy about Chicago – just name a place!
